The P&R Plague Thread (Covid-19)

[DevoHusker]

If this is all you right wingers have to complain about I'd say Biden's doing a pretty dang good job. Get a grip. 

Now that's funny.

To try and set an example  :dunno

I've tried taking the pandemic as serious as I can.  However, stuff like this is growing old.  For instance, I know the local TV station sends reporters out to do stories by themselves.  They set run the camera and everything.  So often they are outside and not around anyone else....and wearing a mask.  I get the "setting an example".  But...come on.  There's taking it seriously...then there's a time to start acting normal.

And, for the "why does it matter if he wears a mask".  There have been times when the reporter is wearing a mask...with nobody around...outside...and it's hard to understand what he's saying with the mask on.

I think for some it has become theater.

One year ago today these pearls of wisdom were dropped for the benefit of all mankind.  I'm so grateful for a having gargled down some bleach and for enduring a UV enema.  Thank you Dear Leader.  You saved my life and the lives of millions of other people around the globe with your scientific prowess and leadership.

You're not really going to defend that s#!t show are you?  You, me, and everyone here saw the press conference and we all know he conflated research into how to disinfect surfaces with curing an actual Covid infection.  


Do you have any research into whether or not doing shots of disinfectant can "clean the body" of Covid?

Interesting to see the year after the Spanish flu.  We will see this same outcome in 2021/2022

No, that was a USAToday article fact checking it

Yep.....it still amazes me though that I still hear people say, it’s no worse than the flu.

At the end of the day, COVID is going to be a lot like the flu. A deadlier flu that didn't use to exist, but a normal and expected part of our vaccine and seasonal health protocol.

It was also preparation for whatever comes next. Among the things COVID has taught me is that our country and our generation has merely been lucky in terms of pandemics, which have been doing this kind of stuff forever.

A possibility but unlikely

This hasn't been said a long time ago?

I agree - to me, the posturing is evident. I too get the whole "set an example" concept, but this seems to go over that line into the realm of a masquerade.

Do I have that big of an issue with it? No. Don't really care that much. I also didn't look into the context of that video call but if it's just Biden sitting by himself on a vid call... ditch the mask. Don't be weird.

The anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, anti-mitigators, the science deniers, those who bought into this thing all being a hoax, would have had us in this situation too.  Horrific situation going on in India now.
