This point can't be made strongly enough. Whether one's motivation is "personal freedom", "getting back to work", "Saving the economy", or just "getting back to normal", the answers all point to the fact that following some simple guidelines will get us there a lot quicker than "resistance in the name of resistance".

They are near extinct... just sayin

Point is... there probably more than one way to address the Pandemic within the US borders. Sure, we can just take it and let those perish.. perish... or like some countries control it and mitigate the damage (lives). Pretty silly to think that those other countries can mitigate deaths while the US simply can't get its act together to do so.

I agree. Unfortunately, Trump is the lead anti-masker, and his parrots follow his lead. They are hell bent on staying anti-mask. The selfishness of the anti-maskers is causing shut-downs. Florida Governor is also one of the lead anti-maskers. He needs to grow a pair and protect Florida's economy by mandating masks.

Trump failed as a leader by pushing the anti-mask agenda. Not mandating masks is impacting the ecomony, which he says he cares about. And it's impacting people's lives, which we already know he doesn't care about. Maybe if we were civil war statues, then Trump might care about protecting us.

So basically the lockdowns and business closures are completely unnecessary? There's no way we can stop it so we might as well open everything back up and go about our lives as usual.

Um, no. But nice try though. Covid doesn't care if people believe it's getting worse or not. You can't argue with facts, although some like to try.

The CDC is counting Covid now, by if one person has it, they are counting the "probable" case surrounding that one positive test.
So, if one person has it, they count 17 other as having it. Because they "probably" have it, by association.


They got caught. No wonder they wanted Alex Jones silenced.
