      I haven't the time to respond to every post sport, don't take it personal. I don't get paid to do this, although maybe I should. If we were all debating live (VOIP) I would have shut down all the chatter long ago. But as it stands, ya'll will just have to die by a thousand tiny cuts (posts). I'd rather it not be this way. I'd rather we all just talk about the situation in a rational, friendly manner. But it is so emotionally charged at this point. The horses are out of the barn so to speak. Thanks Donald.

      Masks matter. It doesn't matter how they matter, they just do. Every time someone makes a politically charged statement and emboldens another misled and confused soul, we fall further behind in the race. A helpful attitude equates to lives saved. Start taking the situation seriously and ask those in your circle to do so as well.
      I’ve seen similar statements all over - that cases are down because mask usage is up. Is there any proof that that mask usage is in fact up? How is that being quantified? The only stats I’ve been able to find paint a different picture. https://today.yougov.com/topics/heal...-has-caught-us
      While mask usage has continued to increase according to the survey, it has been a very slow increase since May. Hardly a smoking gun.
      Also just a heads up, the same source shows that the us has been better than Germany about mask wearing since the beginning of the outbreak.

      More than happy to review other sources if you have them.

      • I still scratch my head at the ideologically entrenched posters on this board. In the face of all the science... I mean, you guys are not dummies. How on earth do you put so much faith in a borderline (maybe not borderline) immoral commercial real estate developer with a glaring narcissistic personality disorder? This isn't global warming where you can debate the minutia with no pending consequences. This is the equivalent of a masked man holding a gun to your head and you're calling it the pizza delivery guy. Really befuddling. Perhaps I'm the victim of a community-wide trolling effort. I hope that's the case as it would mean ya'll are taking the appropriate measures, encouraging your neighbors, and helping us right a steadily sinking ship.

        But I have my doubts. I would bet most all of you debating me are truly invested in Trump to the point that you cannot see the truth any longer. That is a sadness.

        But... ignorance is bliss also and I do love the idea of ignorance in the context of existential threats. I don't have that luxury unfortunately. And it is impossible for me to hear the song of the pied piper.

        Have a great AND SAFE weekend everyone! Thanks for the chit chat!

          I can’t stand trump. Didn’t vote for him in 2016 and won’t vote for him in 2020. Care to continue the scientific part of the discussion now?

            I can't. I gotta go bro. "Gotta go see about a girl."

            Lemme offer you this parting word: I was thinking about your comments the other day on herd immunity in the context of variation in susceptibility. I just want to say, it's more interesting than I first thought. My knee-jerk reaction at this point is to look at everything sent my way with great suspicion due to the prevailing bias. Your contribution will receive additional attention at my next opportunity. I've already begun a little research. Thank you.

            Have a great weekend!

                I look forward to a bit of civil discourse on the topic. Your boy may not be “wicked smart” on this particular topic but always interested to hear both sides so I can make my own, educated decisions.

                      I'm putting this here because it is Corona related.

                      Not in America, but.... when I hear people from the U.K., Australia and other great places bag on the U.S. as being backwards and how we are a joke because of Trump, I just think that this is what they live with. No thanks. If we are a joke, it's because of our continually triggered left and people that want to live by government edicts and all be the same ie miserable and ignorant. If we are a joke it's because of people who don't want to think for themselves, have no sense of individuality and are fooled into believing snake oil salesmen in the form of environmentalists, social justice warriors and whatever other grievance fills theirs wallets at that particular time, and becoming their army of woke.

                      Something tells me that the people that advocate this behavior of our government are not real big Trump fans.

                      This is why I still support Trump because at the very least, it will buy 4 more years until this kind of crap becomes reality in America.

                        This is how a real man acts. I do hope he has reproduced.

                              • I know I have a bias, but I have no idea how a person, ANY person, could not be appalled at Pelosi's demand for an apology from a small business owner being driven out of business by horrible government interference.

                                A lifetime of suckling at the taxpayer teat, going from basically nothing to a net worth of close to 9 effing figures, and she has the audacity to blame the shop owner and accuse her of setting her up...by having her own assistant set it up? You could not make it up if you tried.

                                And that she'll get away with it, and still be the speaker, tells you exactly how effed up our political system is today. Shameful.
