This is a perspective that Kid and Red will enjoy,  because the author believes all that they believe.   It is quite stirring!

The virus is rampaging through the country due almost entirely to the inept crisis management of the Trump administration from Day 1.



Nope

Wrong for the 157th straight day.

Kid lies while Trump actively spreads the disease.

Trump lies about "turning the corner" while we set a new high for daily average new cases and while daily average deaths is at its highest in 40 days.

Trump's failure to promote mask-wearing, his half-hearted messages of support that he immediately undermines by his actions, and his failure to require masks and distancing at his rallies make him guilty of homicide.

It's not a matter of opinion that he causes these deaths, but of established fact. "for the 157th straight day."

So Trump needs 33 electoral votes with these states left:

PA.  20
Michigan.    16
Minnesota.  10
Wisconsin.    10
Arizona.   11
Nevada.      6
Maine.     1
Nebraska.    1


This is in giving DT Florida and Texas as well as Iowa, N Carolina, Ohio and Georgia

Generous of you when you consider that Biden has a bigger lead in the first four and NV than Trump has in Texas, Iowa, Ohio, Georgia, or ME-2, while Biden has a lead in NE-2, AZ, and NC.

clip and save

Joe has all but conceded NC.  Certain polls are daft.

Isnt COVID-19 much more easily treated now?

Arent we much closer to a number of effective vaccines?

What do you think turn the corner means?  Making it disappear?

Wanting the country to open too quickly is also rooting for more death.



Its really not


You know mask-wearers get COVID, right?

Mask wearing is primarily to prevent you from making other people sick.

If you wear it, the chance of getting sick is lower.

If you both wear it, the chance of getting sick is close to 0.

THIS IS SCIENCE and it has been explained repeatedly.

Prince Harry on fighting racism, how Meghan opened his eyes: 'Ignorance is no longer an excuse'

Prince Harry is urging others to take an active role in fighting racism.

The 36-year-old royal, now living in California with his wife, Meghan, and young son, Archie (who Harry said is keeping his parents "very busy, but he's making us laugh every day"), spoke with author and activist Patrick Hutchinson for British GQ in an interview published Monday, during which the Duke of Sussex highlighted the need for others to educate themselves about how to be an anti-racist.

Lovely.
When will the White guy who was sacked from his NBA commentating job in America for saying "All lives matter" be reinstated?

White people should fight racism/racial discrimination against them at every turn.
There has been too much turning a blind eye to it, so today it's rampant.

Maybe Clarence will help swear in the new SC justices Joe nominates to help restore balance and cleanse the court of its far-right extremists.

Whoa..........


How close?  Less than 1%?  .5%?

Can you cite the study?


(a) How close does it need to be for you to be convinced? If wearing a mask cut down by 80% your chance of getting it and wearing a mask cut down by 90% the chance of your giving it to anybody else, and the combined only reduced it to a 5% chance of getting it, would that be close enough for you?

(b) Yes, but it is not one study, Kid - many studies done in many ways have shown this. If I thought you actually gave a fuck about evidence, I would bury you in them.

Here's one from April that is a lit review on what was known at that point:
https://files.fast.ai/papers/masks_lit_review.pdf

This is a look at the effectiveness of a mask mandate on growth of COVID-19 cases in the 15 states and DC in the US:
https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2020.00818

This is a look at 198 countries' death rates from COVID-19 and their policies:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/342198360_Association_of_country-wide_coronavirus_mortality_with_demographics_testing_lockdowns_and_public_wearing_of_masks_Update_June_15_2020
-58983

We have studies that show 68% reduction in risk for an individual wearing a mask and 77%... if both people wore them, it would be 89.7% to 94.7% effective in preventing transmission with consistent wearing.

We know that the incidence of health care workers catching COVID is very low, but even lower at work.

And yes, we know that touching surfaces and then eyes or getting droplets in eyes is a risk. Masks plus eyewear reduces the risk of catching it even further, but it is cutting down on transmission that is and always has been the primary purpose of the masks.

This is what you and the President keep ignoring:
https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america?view=total-deaths&tab=trend

We KNOW what the costs of not mandating masks is, Kid. We've been mapping it by country and by state for months.

And you fucking blow it off.

I know #s and math are not one of your strengths, but if you were to look at a picture of covid cases (called a graph) you would see daily cases peaked around 30,000 a day in April-May and then declined slightly to around 20,000 cases a day for a couple of months. So the base went from 0 to about 20,000. Then a new peak was created as covid spread in the summer, and peaked around 60,000 August and then declined to around 40,000 cases a day. And for the past month we've seen cases increase fromabout 40,000 to 80,000 with no decline in slight.

so we've seen the floors rise and the peaks rise

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/23/us/covid-worst-day.html

you can see the pictures here.

so perhaps rather than describe this as turning a corner, the president might have described this as climbing fucking Mt Everest and we're no where near base-camp yet.

Just a thought.

Mask-up little buddy!
