Yes but the poll says over 84% of voters think he's going to Nebraska. Theres no way that voting is wrong this isn't the presidential election!

Everyone keeps citing “cases”. They are irrelevant for this discussion. Deaths are the key fact. The facts show that less than 0.02% of healthy people under 60 die. Those that do die almost always some other causative factor for the death. Heart problems, diabetes, obesity, breathing problems, etc. are the primary causes for the deaths.
If you want to wear a mask- wear one.
If you are sick or one of the vulnerable, especially the elderly and infirm, wear masks and don’t go out unless necessary. Limit contact with other people.
If you want to live your in constant fear, stay and never go out. Keep in mind, masks are not a guarantee. Your eyes are exposed and your hands can pick up the virus(s) and vector them into your body.
Every year millions die every year from many causes. In 2017 and 2018, an average of 107,000 died from influenza/pneumonia. I found no stats for 2019 and found only about 8,000 reported for first six months of 2020. In 2020, the Feds told coroners to list COVID-19 for the cause of death if it may have been involved or in any doubt. Hospitals will report as COVID-19 because they get higher reimbursements from the Feds under the COVID-19 legislation.

I wear a mask when indoors in public and believe it is scientifically smart. It doesn’t harm me any and I see benefit. However, the talking head doctors and scientists on TV and the Democrat public officials did more harm than anyone else I can think of to get the public’s cooperation this summer.
Most all of them justified the very large public riots this summer and said they didn’t mind the non-social distancing because it “was for a greater good”. Sorry, but many people gave up quite a bit in the spring “for the greater good”.
1) Kids are losing their school year, with ZERO scientific evidence to close schools.
2) families lost their livelihood
3) employees lost their jobs
4) funerals and end of life celebrations were cancelled.
Once those idiots said rioting was ok, and the idiot rioters were given free reign, you have lost the public’s trust at that point and they may not listen to you again. Outside of the death of this pandemic, that will be the worst legacy of this whole ordeal.

it goes on and on and on. Beautiful way to secure the public’s cooperation during a deadly pandemic. It’s unfortunate they don’t see how much damage this does to the public trust which in turns hurts the good people trying to fight this fight
