He's intimidating witnesses. you know he is. the guy's a mobster and almost half of America wants to vote for him. WTF? Y'all grew up in WNY. Remember when the mob was big in NF and Toronto? Nice people as long as you didn't do business with them...I never had any trouble. In fact I lost a golf bet as a kid and couldn't cover and the guy I was playing with did. Bought me lunch too. but I'd never vote for him for prez...

This song was recommended in an audio review. It's iconic. But it led me to Gunn which is even better.

because just about everyone has a lawyer and accountant misrepresent a porn star payoff as a legal expense. Has anybody mentioned "Sleepy Don" in court. You can't make this stuff up; https://www.mediaite.com/politics/trump-glared-at-maggie-haberman-for-several-seconds-after-she-reported-he-fell-asleep-in-court/

Any hospitalized pt was placed in isolation. That means a haz mat bag at the door that collected all workers masks, gloves and head covers when leaving - when there was enough PPP to afford this. Collecting the general population's used masks was never feasable. Nevertheless, death and infection rates in areas with high mask compliance were lower than in low compliance areas and even the best areas were no where near 90% compliance nor were masks disposed of systematically. That's what matters- real world studies.

you can't fix stupid. it's been proven on this forum repeatedly. There will always be the intellectually deficient. I need to do some looking but last I knew fomites (look it up) were not a significant source of Covid spread. Aerosolized droplets accounted for nearly all infections. Then it becomes a risk/benefit analysis which appears to be clearly on the side of masks as evidenced by the conclusion of the JAMA review I linked....

I appreciate you taking up the challenge but one must look at multiple studies especially when they are observational. The strong preponderance of evidence points to this conclusion among most Infectious Disease folks: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8499874/ "all studies we analysed that did not find surgical masks to be effective were under-powered to such an extent that even if masks were 100% effective, the studies in question would still have been unlikely to find a statistically significant effect" A more recent review from JAMA: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2811136 "Available evidence strongly suggests that masking in the community can reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and that masking with the highest-quality masks that can be made widely available should play an important role in controlling whatever pandemic caused by a respiratory pathogen awaits us."
