Covid - 19

[Guisslapp]

Well, I actually meant by "you" the plural form. As in ALL OF YOU who know what needs to be done...just do it. That list includes, but is not limited to, governors, mayors, CEOs, small business owners, etc... It's like the old saying: if Trump tells YOU (plural) to go jump off a bridge, would you do it? Or, would all YOU governors, mayors, etc... say no thanks, we KNOW what is best for us. Dr. Fauci has a social media outlet and is frequently interviewed by the media. If you think he, and the CDC, has all the correct answers...just do it!

But...oh wait...what if advancing the spread of the China virus and keeping the economy suppressed is actually politically motivated, rather than a real public health issue? Hmmm... Because it is SO EASY for governors and mayors, etc...to simply ignore whatever Trump says/does, and to follow the edicts of Fauci/CDC. But, they won't...

Stopping a pandemic requires concerted action. The hotspots are now concentrated in Red States if you haven’t noticed.

There is a tragedy of the commons effect if you leave individuals to make choices over how to approach disease control.

There's nothing unlibertarian about protecting the negative rights of individuals from the harm of other individuals who will harm them through recklessness.

yes there is, if the mandates are enforced selectively. Example: ignoring Walmart shoppers, but hammering church congregations. Totally political

No, I haven't noticed the color of the states... but it doesn't change my point. You will note I said "governors, mayors..." without any connection to red or blue. Nope, this whole China virus mess has been politicized for the express purpose of damaging Trump's re-election bid. Everyone knows that. Still, NOTHING prevents anyone from following CDC edicts if they choose, so YOU (plural) only have yourselves to blame.

Coronavirus doesn’t recognize state borders and city corp limits.

Last I checked Walmart requires masks. They just aren’t going to make their employees enforce it against crazy Trumpers.

They don’t enforce it on anyone with an EBT card.

Sounds like you should go to a different Walmart.

I wear my mask. Does that keep me safe this week or was that last week? CDC can’t make up its mind.

It improves your odds. But I wouldn't linger in or frequent an establishment where masks are warn improperly...one of the reasons I can't go to church in person yet.

Your realize this is NEVER going to change? Even if Harris/Biden win. They will call for mandatory masking, but NEVER enforce that they be properly worn above the nostrils. Friggin idiots wearing a mask with their nose sticking out...

I've certainly considered that. May have to make some changes regarding the places I go and where my memberships are.

You can start by leaving the BB&B! Bye!

(and don't give me the "I was speaking about the China virus..." we all know viruses can be transmitted computer to computer!)
