That covid poll is incomplete. There should be an answer that says I know someone who has died from Covid 19 on the list.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Do people I know on these forums count as people I know?

As an Australian, thankfully I don't know anyone infected in the 'real' world.

I heard some worrying projections that the US alone with have 130,000 dead by the end of June or July.

See? You are a cultist.

Again my cousin is a 911 dispatcher and commented on the spike of poison calls due to trump talking about injecting disinfectant and bleach. She is a trumpest. Mainly because he “supports” the police. Her fiance, a good guy, was killed in the line of duty.

Even she said he comments were very stupid!

I doubt you can say that.

Yes. There was an incident of a mall cop getting murdered because he got into an altercation with a person over wear masks at the mall.

I understand you don't like President Trump for your Political and Personal Views. President Trump did not create the evil virus, President Trump does care, President Trump signed the unemployment stimulus checks that should have been a clean bills by the Republicans and the Democrats without adding things that have nothing to do with the virus crisis. President Trump has listened to the Health Experts and we have the health guidelines. President Trump is not guilty for the deaths of any Americans because of the Virus crisis, only the evil virus is guilty for the deaths of all Americans and for the deaths of all the Persons in the world. No President or world leader is.

All Presidents Republicans and Democrats have said stupid things, things they should not say, things that the right wing media and the leftists media have taken out of context and twisted their words for Political reasons against them. Like Your Republican Friend. Yes, I am a Proud Republican Cultist supporter of President Trump for Making America Great Again, and I wear it with Pride and Honor, I will put it on my sig, and he deserves reelection according to my Political Views and of those who agree with me, I am not the only one and their is nothing wrong with it. Take care and be safe from the evil virus.

Coworkers aee in the 80's last I looked, I am using funerals I would have gone too as a standard for friends. 6 folks I know have died.

I find my fuse is a bit shorter than it should be, but we are hanging in there, and it is getting better.

It's honestly one of the weirder aspects of this virus. Objections to wearing masks has come from the WHO, governments, scientists and, of course, the general public in some areas. Part of the issue is that there's very little study on the usage of masks, and then every virus is different of course and finally the idea of preserving masks for the medical community was a concern.

However pretty early on it was known that this virus sits in the throat until enough has passed down into the lungs for major issues start, which is why many don't feel any symptoms despite being infected. If your lungs don't pass a certain load then you're fine.

However sitting in your throat for 14-20 days is when it spreads. Now it's not particularly likely that if I am infected and am wearing a mask that I will stop the spread, however if everyone is wearing masks then it absolutely stops it dead in its tracks. One study shows that if 20% of the population wears masks there's little effect, move over 50% and you're going a long way to stopping.

Yet some people take the simple idea of wearing a mask as an affront to their very person whereas we don't blink an eye to being asked to wash hands, it's an odd difference.
