Why does this have to be Democrats vs. Republicans?
Same rules for the general public don't apply to Presidential Candidates? They shouldn't be setting an example? For what it's worth, I voted for Biden in Primary and will in the General. D I am just playing devil's advocate to the mask and social distancing paranoid people who won't visit their own family members unless wearing masks and social distancing. I am just bating the extremists to see their reactions.

Kansas Health Secretary gets called out on his deceit, he is "doctoring the numbers": https://sentinelksmo.org/kdhe-doctor...mask-mandates/ He has his head so far up the butt of Governor Kelly that he shouldn't need a mask!

Per the article:

"KDHE Secretary Lee Norman shared a COVID case chart with media this week, which he said shows the counties that abided by Governor Kelly’s mask mandate are ‘winning the battle.’ But he deceptively doctored the chart to justify mask mandates."

So, the 90 counties out of 105 that opted out appear to be more on the ball than our KDHE Secretary. We must flush the Dems out of the government here, MUST!

(Before someone makes a comment about nurses/doctors, there are many more employees in a hospital than just doctors and nurses.)

I say before the end of the month, the more gestapo states will also outlaw bandana masks/neck gaiters.

Followed pretty quickly by mandating surgical masks be one use only and cannot be resused.

Watch.

IMO a hospital has to follow stricter guidelines then a grocery story, or restaurant. I can see why they don't want anyone wearing bandanna's and neck gaiters.

One such supermarket had customers waiting down the aisle with 6 foot distancing on line for check out. Guess you cannot go down that aisle until that line gets shorter? People were saying excuse me can you please move so I can get past you?

I don't have any doctor's note for myself. Don't have any disability, or medical condition. Can and do wear face covering inside a stores.
Our Walmart does have the one way system which I didn't know about and couldn't even see the floor stickers because they are so roughed up. A Karen ( and I hate the term but she was one! ) Told me I wasn't paying attention when I started coming down the aisle going the wrong way. Meanwhile she had her cart in the middle of the aisle so even if I had been going the right way - would have had to pass her and ask her to move out of the way.

I was at an estate sale today - had to wear masks but we were wedged inlike a can of sardines - so how is that complying?

The vast majority of supermarket shoppers are very pleasant, as they were in the past. A polite excuse me can I get past you is usually enough. However, you have a few who seem to want to pick a fight and have a chip on their shoulder; before the virus AND now. Best to say nothing to them. Cannot get into an argument with someone else who won't answer them.

I heard they have had lockdown after lockdown.
Somehow, I doubt it will happen here.

The worst thing that happens to un-masked people is they are asked to leave a store. They might feel humiliated, but who cares. They can shop somewhere else or order from home.

I thought the same thing. No way would I subject myself to that kind of crowd.

Trump's brother has died. I wonder if he's going to change his opinion about masks now.

News reports don't say COVID at this point, nor do they say he had been ill for years - although he was hospitalized recently before his death and then released and then readmitted.

Robert, who died just 11 days before what would have been his 72nd birthday, had reportedly spent more than a week in the intensive care unit at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City earlier this summer.
Could very well be COVID. It happens often enough people appear to be on the mend, only to die rather suddenly.
