Covid-19

very nearly 100%.

Just curious, is this a completely made up number? Seems like it.

You didn't see the very nearly 100% mask usage in Miami over spring break?

No, but 80-90% since last summer is - see post 4212...

I’ll pose the same question to you as the one that lou refuses to answer. Why are you trying so hard to prove your opinion that masks don’t work? Is it government conspiracy theory, a “rights” thing, a mandate thing, or you just so badly want to be right about something because you need some kind of fulfillment in your life?

ThatÂ’s seriously what I donÂ’t understand. ItÂ’s putting a mask on, is it that big of a deal? ItÂ’s not lockdowns that wrecked the economy, itÂ’s something that is temporarily uncomfortable.

I agree itÂ’s no big deal to wear one, and I do wear them. Not because I actually believe they help (it has been widely demonstrated they donÂ’t). But I wear them just to make people feel better. I like making people feel happy - IÂ’m nice that way.

But why do something silly for no benefit? What if the CDC said to I should wear a Darth Vader helmet? It wouldnÂ’t be a big deal to for me to do that, and actually kind of fun. But that that accomplished nothing either, so I would I would speak out against it too.

Which brings me to the better question. Do you believe masks work, or are you going along with it because itÂ’s no big deal?

I think it mitigates some risk..to what extent? Not sure but I’m sure it is certainly something. I’m not about the government telling me what to do, trust me but if by me wearing a mask it keeps someone from getting a pretty shitty disease, I’ll do it. There will come a time when we don’t have to do it anymore, and think that’s coming very soon short of maybe a couple of places

Regardless of whether or not you think wearing a mask helps or not, It's like wearing Shoes that are too small, It feels so good when you take them off.

I shouldn't be, but I'm actually surprised that CBS hasn't apologized and fired some people over that complete hatchet job they did on the DeSantis story they aired over the weekend.

It is extremely early and a lot can happen between now and the next presidential election, but never too early to do a political hit job on one of the projected Republican candidates. Hit them early so they won’t be effective in the primary even if it’s complete garbage.

In all seriousness, if a person had already received both vaccine shots and it was 14+ days passed the second, when can said person take off his mask in Ohio?

Asking for a friend.

Now. Do you need someone to tell you this?
