Trumps anti-mask campaign will cost lives and slow reopening

So you decided on your own that you don't care if you are asymptomatic and spreading the virus to all around you? Where did you get the right to do that?

eBay, I had a coupon code.
 
What's the deal with red lights??
I never agreed to that kind of oppression! Red lights infringe my rights!
If you want to stop for red lights you're free to do so but why should your fear dictate my actions?
Maybe if you're old and feeble, red lights are a good thing for you, but with my quick reflexes, I don't need to pay attention to them.
I ran three red lights last night and I didn't get hurt, so all these statistics about "accidents" are a hoax intended to enslave us.
Did you know red lights were invented in Communist China? Look it up!
Did our Founding Fathers say anything in the Constitution about obeying traffic signals?
I don't think so!
Today I saw a line of cars at the intersection of Pioneer and Slauson, and they looked like a herd of sheep.
Don't be a sheep, run the red lights!

Isn't that so typical of the Right wingers, no respect for human lives unless it is forcing some poor woman to bear a child they don't want.

Trumps vanity is already causing people to associate not wearing masks with courage and manliness. It is yet another way that Trump is making this pandemic worse and he is killing people. It will also cause more economic hardship when hotspots force closings again. His own guidelines say that masks are essential when you cannot social distance and he still mocks Biden for wearing one.

My point all along; he is a terrible example, terrible teader

There is absolutely zero empirical evidence showing that wearing a mask will save lives. Many people wore masks during the 1918 flu and several more million people died.

Anti-mask campaign? LOL
Of course no criticism against Cuomo or the mayor of Chicago. Your bias is so obvious. Give it a rest.
Click to expand...

no, I totally agree. Trump is leading a sabotage movement
 
Outlook said:
A CNN criticize Trump piece. Surprise surprise.
There is no anti-mask campaign. If he is social distancing, he doesn’t have to wear a mask. If others wear a mask, others are not going to be infected. Additional he is being tested often.
Show me in the article where he is mocking people for wearing a mask.

Did you not hear what that dumb-ass kid said? monkey see - monkey do
 
Bucky said:
Have you heard of the Anti-Mask League of San Francisco? Again, there is no empirical evidence that even 1 person died of the Spanish Flu because a mask was not worn.

There is no empirical evidence that one person has died because of not wearing a mask.
Click to expand...

since most of the people who have died got sick before we started wearing masks, I'd say there is PLENTY of empirical evidence. Tens of thousands died because they did not wear a mask.

The eyes are the most vulnerable spot on the body for infection. Why would you ignore that?
Click to expand...

No the eyes are not nearly as vulnerable as the lungs that suck in the virus like a vacuum cleaner. It also would depend on how many people I will be interacting with and for how long. The point of the mask is really to stop the expulsion of millions of virus into the air if you are infected and don't know it. 35% of infected people never know they are infected and spread the virus for weeks if they are not tested. What would you recommend as punishment for the typhoid Mary's and Mark's that infect dozens of others when just wearing a mask would have stopped it? Do we really need to start pepper spraying these scofflaws that think it is their right to go around spreading a deadly disease?

I don't believe in the "Trump anti mask campaign". That is nothing but election desperation partisan whispering. However, I am all for a " pro mask petition". I gladly sign that one.

Like youd follow Trumps example. You guys must not be nearly as certain of a Biden win this fall to be this desperate in your criticisms of Trump.

you don't know what the **** you're talking about.
 
apdst said:
So, no eye protection? You just want to stick with your half ass measure and you think that's good enough.
Click to expand...

eye protection does nothing for those around you; the virus isn't going to jump from your eyes to someone else (unless maybe you cry a river on them); it is merely a selfish act

Same thing with set belts and airbags.
Even though there're literally millions of seat belts in use and millions of airbags deployed,
tons of people keep dying in automobile accidents.

wtf?
Wake up sheeple!
Click to expand...

so we ditch the seat belts, airbags - hell the baby seats too (let em roll around like marbles in the back seat; they're no more likely to get hurt.)
 
Fletch said:
Thats false and stupid. CNN finds one guy who says hes not wearing a mask because Trump isnt and you pick it up and run with it. Its idiotic but nothing we havent seen from you Trump haters for the last 4 years.

yeah that guy doesn't have 15 friends doing the same thing, and they don't all have other friends...ignorance spreads remarkably like a pandemic

Have you seen Trump with a mask on? He's too "manly" to wear a mask and thinks it shows weakness. This is not helpful and the least he can do is help.

Yes. I posted about it.

What do you mean what would we recommend? :lamo
The same thing that they did to Typhoid Mary, that's what.
That was easy! :lamo
 
iguanaman said:
So when those that don't spread the virus to dozens of others we should give them a pat on the back for their "courage"? Their is no excuse not to wear a mask if you cannot social distance.
Click to expand...

Actually, there is. People with breathing problems are advised to not wear them. As are people who cannot remove them themselves.

I'm Libertarian who supports abortion rights so....

If I don't want to wear a mask, that's my business, and if I die as a result, that's also my business. My body, my choice.

Can you see into his head?

I can't wear a mask because I have a deviated septum and can barely breathe with it on - just saying, people have reasons...

It is claimed that if you can find the masks that hamsters wear you can reduce your chance of getting infected. I've looked and looked and can't find any hamster masks for sale anywhere. :lol:
