Shutdown II... the Death Blow

[gaussian]

Democrats want the economy shut down so

1. The economy fails and Trump is held responsible.
2. Biden doesn't have to do a debate

Biden gets elected, the virus will suddenly dissipate or become benign through a miracle evolution.

Quoting this for January 2021 when, just like the virus not mattering if you’re a violent rioter, it will suddenly disappear if Trump loses.

I could live with that.

Wear the mask around the neck, if someone is close in the grocery aisle I pull it up. When I'm going through the checkout I pull it up. That was working.

But the Governor is mandating mask usage for all starting tomorrow. There is no discretion to exercise, just the extra-legal mandate of a extreme leftist Governor who wants to do her part to harm the economy and by extension harm President Trump.

There is no point to further compliance with reasonable requirements. Now people will be forced. Give the government an inch and they take mile.

muh, muh, muh freedummmms!!

bruh, you're 1st world problems personified.

Here in MA, we've had to wear masks going out in public (not just indoors, but anywhere outdoors where you cannot social distance) since, ohh, early April? We're getting along fine here.

In Communist MA?

Right. Expect racism to be solved by that date. Or more accurately, on that date.

 

[Ricter]

and have helpfully misidentified new cases caused by riots and protesting

That makes no sense.

Exactly.

Miraculously COVID will disappear, systemic racism will vanish and Russia will become a country to "be flexible with".

Ahhh.

This isn't an Influenza virus. And what I mean by a "thing" is, why are masks NOW being made out to be bad by so many? I don't recall any reports of masks being bad last month or the month before that, or the month before that.

So masks don't work on flu viruses, just on Covid viruses? I already said masks weren't bad. I agreed with you. I'm just trying to understand why they are so important now.

I do not know what EU countries believe. If that is true, that they do not believe masks offer protection, well, each country in Europe probably had protocols in place differing from the US, and were probably more restrictive on movement. Maybe they reached their herd immunity, so now they don't believe in the masks?


We are far from that level here yet, so people should just do the basics.

Huh, ok. I can show you three or four european counties (Denmark, Norway, etc) that specifically say that there is no evidence masks offer any additional protection. Not that they don't help now. It's on their official health websites.

Which governor is mandating mask usage?

 

[Snarkhund]

That makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense.

Rioters, looters and violent protesters congealed together without masks or distancing and there is a largish blowup of cases. Liberal state governments then attributed those cases to the reopening of retail and services that had been closed. Viola! New Shutdown.

These people would destroy the economy thinking that power then cedes to them There are few Republicans willing to destroy the country to retain power.

Which governor is mandating mask usage?

Kate Brown, Oregon.
