As you should know, they keep going back and forth between what is and what is not. They say one thing, change it, then go back.

The science has been pretty consistent for months although they have made mistakes, what part of the science is still in question. Fauci, Osterholm and Birx give solid advice but some politicians won't listen. Hospitals are running out of both space and nurses and doctors yet people think they can run a business in this type of environment, what exactly are you going to open up with this infection rate.

But at least Biden won't host superspreader events like Donnie. We have to fumble along like this until the operation warp speed delivers. Biden isn't changing that program one bit.

340 million people in this country. How is Biden going to convince them? offer them free ice cream.
The only events allow by Democrats are liberal events and protests.

No, the scientists have consensus; that Trump is wrong. Always. That's the "science".

Okay, so exactly what the majority of us have been doing. Great.
Really, that is your big "follow the science" retort ? Weak, very weak.

How many people have room to store it? I live in a very tiny efficiency room. Definitely not enough room here for weeks worth of supplies.

A lot of people wouldn't even know how much stuff to buy to last for six weeks, either. Plus, things like milk and bread would go bad very quickly.

People on food stamps only get so much at a time and it often doesn't last very long. It definitely wouldn't buy six weeks worth of food.

Plus, people like me who live in a room wouldn't be able to take out the trash and do laundry. Would get very smelly quickly.

No.

Not only no, but hell no.

One of Biden’s other advisors said they don’t think that would work. He could be saying that to calm everyone down, but people won’t obey. Also, thank god for a conservative Supreme Court.

The building here expects people to wear masks to leave their apartments. Not many people ended up complying.

The people running the place don't wear masks. People who live here were like 'well, they don't wear them.'

They installed cameras to catch people not wearing masks with the intention of evicting noncompliers. Well, hardly anyone does. They'd have to evict just about everyone in the building. There are 100 apartments here.

So then they changed the sign to where wearing a mask was now a recommendation instead of a requirement.

This is why we are still dealing with Covid...no one wants to take the necessary steps to truly stop it...They close businesses down, but 'allow' places like liquor stores and fast food places to stay open! LOL


I think we are seeing what their true intentions are now.

Majority of deaths occur in retired people. Open up the economy!


Lockdowns only postpone the inevitable. Let us manage our our health and build up our immune systems.
