Maybe the fake winner president should take his wife’s advice, be better on that respect, and wear the mask when it’s appropriate. I hate to say it, but that’s how I feel, too. It’s just selfish. The wrong place to prove a point about individual liberty. Can't have it both ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in reality you don't care you've just bought into the Simon Says hype. As I mentioned my mother worries every year when flu season comes along because of her age. No one EVER wore a mask around her during the flu season which kills how many every year? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there’s a significant part of the population that can’t be bothered to undertake a small act or courtesy to the public at large. Don't give me this sanctimonious BS unless you plan on wearing a mask come every flu season for the rest of your life. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were it the best company to develop the vax, or were it the furthest ahead, I wouldn’t have mentioned it. But I don’t know that either of those things is true. Perhaps, though were that you did know thouth was neither the furthest nor swiftest nor bestest, we might be able to discuss to wit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask someone who’s been on a COVID floor of a hospital about the differences. 14 minutes ago, Chef Jim said: Don't give me this sanctimonious BS unless you plan on wearing a mask come every flu season for the rest of your life.

Can’t ask them to do something that I won’t or don’t do myself. funny, I am trying tio teach my children, and always have, to not believe everything they see on TV or read on the Gram or Twitter.I think for the most part we have succeeded.And while I am a never Trumper, he is not quite MAGA, but certainly not where I am on Trump. And i respect the hell out of him for that. He is 19, and i think I was successful in getting him to think for himself and form his own opinions. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t agree with it, and I suspect he will moderate with more life experience. But it’s important to think for one’s self and to ask why things are the way they are. One of the ironies of today’s political climate is that the most disingenuous administration of my lifetime has attempted to assume, and with some succeeded in assuming, the mantle of truth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear a mask when in stores, and have for 3 weeks or so. I have great friends who will not , and i get their reasoning too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshin Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Masks now required in the White House, which is sensible and follows the CDC recommendations. I hope Trump follows his own rules. It would be a good message for the country to do as he says and does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watch the news, and she knows who trump and pence and Fauci are. The question she asks the most is why trump refuses to wear a mask and stands so close to others.

I just think it’s the wrong spot to take the stand. I guess it’s the way America works;. They can do something which I disagree, and I have the right to tell them how much I do not appreciate their behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides that, they are identical. Even the White House now requires masks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaths are deaths and they count, right ? The flu is not the same , but it has claimed far more lives than Covid19 at this point and probably for quite some time.
