more on masks

 The liberals are often accused by conservatives of well, telling other people what to do for their own good, but their real goal is not the good of other people but of controlling people.  I disagree with this of course, but I guess that is what you mean by them being more interested in their own agenda than beating down the pandemic.  But what agenda did you think that the conservatives were forwarding rather than beating down the pandemic?

The reason that the CDC was against everybody masking up right away was that they were afraid that there would not be enough for the healthcare people.  When they realized there would be enough they asked people to mask up.  They never thought or said that masks were ineffective.

One thing that was confusing was how effective masks were.  Those high class masks that you saw on medical people but not generally among the public were pretty good for protecting you.  The cheapo masks protected you a little, but mostly they protected people from you if you had the virus.  You were safer being bare-faced in a room of masked people than if you were wearing a mask in a room of bare-faced people.  This was not stressed much, perhaps because people were thought to be more interested in protecting themselves than protecting other people.

Nobody ever claimed that masks would end the pandemic.  They were just to slow the spread until a virus could be found.  The virus is what eventually knocked it down to flu size.

So were you mad at Gretch because of what she was doing or how she was doing it?  

Shut downs are a whole nother matter I would like to get into later.


Mainly because Trump has stolen the spotlight again.  I'm so glad.

until the Republicans can get rid of Donald Trump

Of course it's obvious the republicans will never ditch him, even now almost all of them are screaming outrage about indictment.  You will have to depend on the dems to do it for you.

This idea that Trump is an agent for the dems is like the idea that the Jan 6ers were really antifa guys.
