Masks and social distancing might not totally prevent infections, but they are effective in slowing transmissions, because if the virus just ran unchecked, the hospitals would be overrun. They're already pretty focked as it is. People are so stupid. I see people doing stuff like rubbing their eyes and noses with unwashed hands all the time. Diseased people touch produce at the stores. They pick up a tomato, put it back and grab another. This is why every piece of produce that comes into our house gets washed. And it's just not true what you say about the restricted states. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/18/us/covid-state-restrictions.html

I go to a grocery store where I live, and prolly a third of those in there aren't wearing mask. I was at a Home Depot and in the checkout line when a sudden sneezing fit hit me. I covered my nose and mouth with my arm, but it was funny to see all the people around me get scared, even though I periodically sneeze like that because I'm allergic to things. I also like to pretend cough when I'm walking by maskless people at the grocery store. They're all "muh rights " types, but you can see the second thoughts in their faces. Cough cough.

Well, there was that little deadly insurrection dustup at the Capitol to underscore that the threat is real.

I'll take the word of health experts and scientists over yours any day. We figured out over a century ago that masks and social distancing were effective during the flu pandemic, but bring that up these days, and the ignorant response is, "Well, I don't pay attention to something that happened over 100 years ago." Ex-President Postyazzholecvntfacepieceofshat downplayed the disease to the point where his dumbass loyalists just followed along, even after he came down with the virus himself and had to be whup whup whupped off the hospital.

How about Ex-President Postyazzholecvntfacepieceofshat?

The rules do work if they get followed. Rusty III got COVID from rehearsing for his school's production of "Footloose." They were supposed to be rehearsing with masks, but a group of six girls gathered without masks around a piano to do some singing. One of them had it, was asymptomatic and passed it on to the others. She was my son's dance partner, who passed it on to him. There is only so much a mask will do when two people are dancing cheek to cheek. On the very day of the show's opening, the principal shut it down because a half a dozen kids in the production tested positive. With no production that day, Rusty III decides to hit the gym - where almost no one wears masks - on the way home but leaves a few minutes later because he's exhausted. We all have dinner together and are in the same room for an hour. He was about 10 feet from me. He complains about how tired he is. He asks if it would be OK to just stay home from school the next day, and I said sure. About mid-morning, he texts from his room and says he feels terrible. His temperature is around 101. Off he goes for the COVID test, and he's positive. No one in the house got it, and he went back to school Monday. Why anyone would think it's a good idea to do a musical with a lot of singing, group dancing and dancing with partners during a focking pandemic is beyond me. The school has taken huge precautions, but someone the dipsh!ts running the theater department thought the show needed to go on. So half the kids in theater got it and likely passed it along to others, and they wasted weeks and weeks rehearsing for a musical that didn't happen and likely won't happen now.

Because Clowzo said so, and everything Clownzo says can be taken to da banky bank!

I'm sure George Floyd is looking down right now and saying that this is a great thing that's happening for our country.

If all that is going on, why are cases going up out there?

I can tell you how it happened in Texor. At a time when cases were in rapid decline, and it seemed as if we would be coming out of this in a matter of weeks, our idiot governor caved to the noisy, Clownzo-fueled, anti-mask political pressure and let the state mostly get back to business as usual. Then cases exploded, and now it's absolutely horrible here. Businesses are dying left and right. I personally knew a half dozen people who have died.

Isn't everything a narcissist does self-serving?

Almost every thing he did. He's a textbook self-serving authoritarian and narcissist, with a well-honed ability to lure people into his web and get them to believe what he wanted them to believe, such as the election being rigged. Never mind federal judges throughout the land and even his own election guy said the accusations were completely baseless. If someone said something he didn't want to hear, he'd engage in vicious acts of vindictiveness, from firing people to lighting them up on Twitter. This is not the way a true leader acts, yet his loyalists come to his defense and say he was bold and just speaking his mind. One of his most nauseating self-serving acts was gassing protestors so he could walk down the street and hold up a Bible in front of a church. And his never-ending grandiose and outrageous statements about the awesomeness of himself and his actions. Here is a great opinion piece on it, from a generally conservative information outlet: https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/504820-trumps-presidency-has-basically-been-a-self-serving-authoritarian-rule

For starters, Clownzo badly handled COVID. He said it would all beautifully disappear, and it's worse than ever. Clownzo loyalists still in denial over this. He refused to listen to medical experts and helped spread ridiculous misinformation about conspiracy theories. We were second worse only to Italy in the number of days it took to reach one per 1,000 residents. Had he acted sooner, fewer people would have lost their jobs. Leading up to all this was three years of slashing funding to the safety net, the CDC. I'll give him credit for reshaping federal judiciary, Space Force, tax reform and the First Step Act. But his failures and being a shatbag of a human being far overshadow his accomplishments. He fanned the flames of radical right-wing elements in this country. His reaction to George Floyd and Charlottesville were horrifying. He demolished our global image and had world leaders opening laughing at him. He courted dictators. The family separations at the border were horrendous. His policies created chaos in the Middle East. His actions before and after the election were disgraceful. And he became history's first president to be impeached twice. Feelings? Yeah, I feel like Clownzo is this nation's worst president.
