    it’s everywhere. It went from me not knowing anyone who had Covid to almost not knowing any family who hasn’t had it.

    Can you make a similar safety case for masks that you can make for football helmets? The old “if they weren’t wearing helmets, they wouldn’t take as many chances with dangerous hits” argument. In other words, do masks lure people into a false sense of safety, leading to closer interactions that wouldn’t have happened if the people were maskless?

    My personal observations would be no. It is that people are going to do what they want, and if the mask comes on and off like a jacket when going out then it becomes less effective overall. Most friends and family do not keep masks on around each other in a private setting. If masks were never a thing, it would not mean people didn't get together at all, either. So no, I don't think the masks have any negative effect behaviorally. Nobody believes these cloth masks are really super protective. They're just better than nothing and have a cumulative benefit if all wear them.

    Every time I visit Home Deport or Lowes, some lady is talking to a sales associate with her mask down, because, I guess, she thinks she can't be heard? That's not wearing a mask. That's having a mask on your person.

    We seem to be starting our downward trend on cases. There is no reason to go anywhere for the next two months. It's old outside.

    Hopefully this and vaccines now means we're headed toward the end.

    First they said he was lying when he said a vaccinne would be ready. Now, even though millions have been administered, they say there was no plan. I doubt the 20+ member covid team and advisors didn't have a plan, or people wouldn't have been vaccinated. 3rd, I thought states were making those decisions, but could be wrong.
    At any rate, it appears the days of blaming Trump for everything won't go away. Like he or any President would be able to logistically direct distribution. Not surprised the founder is a known liberal.

    When you set yourself up to be made to be a fool, don't be surprised when you are made to be a fool.

    being President doesn't make one all-knowing. That article was another hitpiece by a liberal media outlet and bullshit if you look at the whole picture.
    And why didn't you address the millions who have received, the millions sitting in states waiting to be used and states' decisions in the process? How was there no plan, if there have been millions distributed to every state.
