Trudeau has not gotten involved in the management of this virus, it has been at the provincial level and it is recommended but not mandated. Why the sarcasm? You hide just as the lefties with multiple profiles and troll when I haven’t been disrespectful or trolled. I am not billsstime or Gary or tibs.

Probably not. Only if it's a proper mask, worn properly. Most aren't. Just now, meazza said: Then why is breaking 911 saying it based on a clip that doesn’t say it? We might be talking past one another -- the clip is only for Pompeo, who has loudly been saying that it came from a lab (now with evidence to back it up apparently). I added the second part because it's coming from people I talk to in that line of work. 3

Not every mask or scarf blocks the particulates. Hence the silliness of it. Some weaves are looser, some masks are poorly made, and even more people don't know how to properly use them even when they have the proper ones. 1

So if I understand correctly, Americans are responsible enough to make the right decisions with regards to their health and safety and covid 19 but these same Americans can’t figure out how to properly wear a mask?

I’m against the lockdown now that we’ve had enough time to build supplies and prepare hospitals. We as a city will be opening up slowly on the 19th.

Human error is not an American only thing, it's a human thing. I have no problem with people wearing masks if they wish. I'm just not going to pretend it's doing much of anything most of the time due to not only human error, but the ineffectiveness of most homemade masks. Unless everyone is rocking the N95s, worn properly, you're not doing much of anything when it comes to stopping particulates from spreading. I'm not anti-mask. As an immunocompromised person, I'm sticking to the more stringent side of the guidelines out of precaution. But I have no qualms with people who don't want to wear them. Especially when most of the ones out there aren't doing the job. 3

Especially when most of the ones out there aren't doing the job. I guess we’ve seen different studies. Face coverings prevent particles when speaking or coughing though it may not be 100%, it is more effective than doing nothing at all. Same thing with washing hands and sanitizing objects such as our phones. This is what they do in Asia and they have been more successful but obviously, they have more experience. Stay safe! 1 1
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 ...when in doubt, the bungling inept play "the card"....how sad........... Michigan's Whitmer says armed protesters displayed 'worst racism and awful parts' of US history By Andrew O'Reilly | Fox News Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer slammed the protesters who gathered inside the state's Capitol building on Thursday to demand she rescind her stay-at-home orders, saying they represented the "worst racism and awful parts" of U.S. history. "There were swastikas and Confederate flags and nooses and people with assault rifles," Whitmer said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "Some of the outrageousnesses of what happened at our capitol depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history in this country." The Michigan governor, however, added that those people represented a small portion of the demonstrators at the state capital and that, for the most part, the protest was peaceful. "When you think about the fact that this is a state of almost 10 million people, the vast majority of whom are doing the right thing," she added, "the behavior you've seen in all of the clips is not representative of who we are in Michigan." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/michigans-whitmer-says-armed-protesters-displayed-worst-racism-and-awful-parts-of-u-s-history 1

Have you posted ANYTHING in this thread, a thread about the most serious pandemic in 100 years, that wasn’t about Trump? Just in case you weren’t aware that’s what this thread is about. The pandemic not Trump. This says a awful lot about how you, and the few others that post the same way here, go through life. Using the blame game. Sad. Nearly a quarter million people are dead around the world and that number is clearly much higher based on the very high likelihood of unreported deaths. One country has more than a quarter of all those deaths, and it's ours. So much of that is a failure in leadership, lack of accountability, lack of empathy, and sheer narcissism bordering on God Complex. Donald Trump and his incredible incompetence is clearly a big part of the story of this Pandemic. 3
