Masks

[Hards Alumni]

yes, yes the horse is thoroughly beaten and has been dead for some time guys.

[Jockey]

Apparently not beaten near enough.

You're right, this is the place that people come to learn that you're upset that people don't wear masks, and that it is political.

The Covid board has gotten near unreadable because every other statement is a political one without substance.

Agree that the political statements without substance are getting out of hand.

The other thing that makes this board unreadable are posters who make claims, then post links that directly contradict those claims. I wish people would look past the headline and read the actual article before they post something. I won't give examples because it would just reopen previous, fruitless arguments.

(And FWIW, I am not accusing you of this.)

It is not political. Try common sense.

I am upset because 3,100+ people died yesterday. I am upset that about 3,000 people died the day before. I am upset that more will die tomorrow and the tomorrows to follow. I am upset that many of these deaths could be prevented if people wore masks.

That is why I am beating the carcass of a horse. The fact is that the reason this many people are dying is because of politics. Pretend it doesn't exist or whine that you don't want to hear about it anymore, if you want.

That doesn't change the facts.

Yeah, we all know.

Agreed its political. But, we differ on which party to blame, hey?

"I'm so upset that I am endlessly posting the same thing on a message board."

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

never change.

He didn't use aina.

Which is interesting in only that I have been doing Finnish on Duolingo and "aina" is the Finnish word for "always".

Ok, back to masks now.

You'd be screaming foul punching someone in the nuts, ala brad. TBH

A group calling itself Trump Event Images is organizing a "Trash the Mask" event in Charlotte. I wonder how many will end up very sick or dead because of it.

CONCORD, N.C. — Officials in Concord, North Carolina, issued a statement saying they are aware of a "Trash the Mask" event being organized by anti-mask advocates at Concord Mills Mall Friday.

The event, which was organized on Facebook by Amy Moore Benjamin and a group called Trump Event Images, is in response to Gov. Roy Cooper's new COVID-19 restrictions, including the statewide nightly curfew that begins Friday. North Carolina is experiencing a major surge in COVID-19 cases that health officials project will only get worse as more infections linked to Thanksgiving are reported.

Organizers are asking supporters to show up at Concord Mills and meet in the food court Friday evening before going shopping, all while not wearing face masks. in November, Cooper issued an executive order that tightened North Carolina's mandate on face masks and top state health officials have asked the general public to wear masks to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

Wow - that's about all I can say.  This event never ended up taking place at least - https://statesville.com/news/state-and-regional/trash-the-mask-event-at-concord-mills-fizzles-out/article_18185b4b-081a-595d-8879-0b647762f857.html#tracking-source=home-the-latest

Looking out at the largely-maskless throng of attendees at a pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, Republican congressman-elect Bob Good dismissed the coronavirus pandemic as "phony" and lauded the crowd as "a group of people that gets it."

"I can't tell you how great it is to look out there and see your faces," said Good, who won Virginia's 5th Congressional District seat last month. "This looks like a group of people that gets it. This is a phony pandemic."



These people are f'in crazy.

[MU82]

3,100+ phony deaths yesterday. Now almost 300K phony dead Americans.

They. Simply. Don't. Care.

The biggest abdication of leadership in U.S. history. Disgusting.

I fail to comprehend how anyone can stay with a straight face that this is pandemic is phony and it made me a little sick to my stomach when I read this story.

Parents charged with renting a party bus for their 14 year old's Birthday that had 60 kids on it without masks:

Besides the Covid implications there were fights when the kids got off the bus at the shopping mall and the police had to deal with it after the bus driver fled the scene.
