    Good. It's the simplest and easiest way to help.

    Heck, winters about to hit so it'll be hilarious to see interviews with people who have to take off their scarf to complain about having to wear a mask.

    A man takes his dog for a walk around the neighborhood. He will not be within 10 feet of another human. Please explain how citing him benefits society.

    The benefit is to slow the spread of the virus. That you can hypothesize an instance where the law seems unproductive does not invalidate the law. Jaywalking isn't contingent on traffic. Cross at the corner, and wear a mask. Pretty simple.

    Thank you for that report! It's just one more very GOOD reason to avoid the DIA airport, literally, "like the plague".... :roflol:

    The president can lead, well not this president. But a real one can make it a priority to show he takes masks seriously and encourage everyone to also.

    In my example, he will not be within 10 feet of another human. Distance is more effective than masks. Still no benefit.

    So we all just have to die horrible deaths gasping for air, all alone because loved ones can't visit us in the ICU, all because its inconvenient for us to use commuter trains safely?

    Denver lied people died.

    Gee golly I wish Joe would do something about this... doesn't he have a plan?

    So then you would agree that Biden is just blowing smoke.

    Well, as long as it makes you "feel" better even if it doesn't change the decisions of state governors or behavior of individuals.

    The CDC is already tracking Covid down to the county level across the country. They work with counties when they start to see a flare up about to occur.

    Nothing is going to change with Biden, except that he'll wear a mask most of the time when he is in front of a camera.

    That's an example. In reality, no one can guarantee he won't come in contact with anyone.

    Leading can change how people act. Sort of the whole idea.

    It was a semi-joke. Also I think there are more instances where someone would be out and about in the winter wearing a face cover to keep warm then simply walking the dog.

    It's recently been announced that Southwest Airlines will be operating out of Colorado Springs in 2021. It may well be worth the short drive down there in order to avoid the horror of 'Peña Boulevard' and the puzzling monstrosity that was never needed in the first place -- Denver International Airport!

    You remember Stapleton International Airport? So EASY and FAST to get to from any part of Denver. So convenient! And they had just finished the "E" Concourse when Democrats decided that they needed another gigantic 'make-work' project -- so, they shit-canned the most useful, user-friendly large airport in the United States and built that hideous, fugged-up 'tent' mess halfway to Nebraska!

    Denver International Airport -- a thoroughly wretched example of what happens when DEMOCRATS run things.... But, what the hell... as a result of this totally unnecessary multi-billion dollar boondoggle, Federico Peña, the liberal Democrat Mayor of Denver, became Bill Clinton's Secretary of Transportation (which secured the allegiance of 'Latino' voters) and everybody was as 'happy as pigs in shit' in the good old "Mile High City"....

    Just like in all the countries that have leaders and attacked the crisis head on.

    Just like New York, which is the only state in the Union that achieved results anywhere near that of the rest of the developed world.

    For that, he was attacked and ridiculed by Donald Trump and his minions, an ongoing effort.

    I guess the nursing homes meme is intended to make Trumpsters forget that their own situation is much worse than the average New Yorkers.

    No, he’s a wannabe facist dictator. He hasn’t pulled it off yet, dispite all the help he’s had.
