You are trying to blame shift, this thread has absolutely nothing to do with a solar eclipse.

Do you mean news anchors or talk show hosts?

If I say at least they wore masks it doesn't mean I don't say --- you shouldn't be gathering in large groups?
I mean I am getting tired of responding to your post.

No, they don't. For a solid three months or more the lame-ass lying media has been hammering into their empty heads that exposure=infection=death, and the really stupid part is how completely they believe it!

This is true. The crisis communication has been a total disaster.

I’ll take you word for it then, because what I heard was structural racism was too important to sit home therefore all the alphabet networks said they weren’t in danger from the virus. Then countless news anchors said the cases went up because of people partying on Memorial Day weekend and not because of the protests, which oddly started the day after Memorial Day so how would they know?

Just the other day I saw an article in a Colorado paper saying that a study showed that the protests may have even slowed the spread of COVID because it made a bunch of people stay home. That was infuriating.

What? Less than 100 people died from Anthrax and it's not contagious and not highly likely to even have contact. But Covids 130 thousand and highly contagious. So I could see how Anthrax(not a disease lol) is worse.

But let's face it, you have to be a fool to think just wearing a mask without social distancing will be good enough to protect you from getting covid.

Just be honest for once.
The goal of social distancing and mask wearing is to lower the population's virus replication factor. It doesn't provide 100% protection; for that you'd have to live in a biolab containment unit.

Anyway, best wishes for her and her family. Her husband sounds worse off, so hopefully he'll recover.
