    The ability to make our own health care decisions is a great thing, ain't it?? :)

    I do agree that face masks function as a signaling device (I care more than you!) and it gives the feeling that you are doing something to fight the virus.

    And then you sneeze and pull the mask off your face because you don't want to breath in your own sneezin's. It's ridiculous.

    Meh.

    No it isn't. Masks do not prevent the spread of viruses.

    Correct. It is not Constitutional at all. It is taking away one's right to make their own health care decisions.

    Light up a cigarette and get in your car. These two acts alone are more likely to kill you than COVID.
    But if face masks make you feel better then by all means force others to wear them as well

    A strong POTUS would have made this non-political. A real POTUS would have worked with the other political party to spread the message that the patriotic thing to do is to wear a mask.

    Unfortunately, the country doesn't have a real POTUS, just a PINO.

    We have to wear them in the shops and on public transport, I have a cotton one that I wash every couple of days. I only have to wear it for a few minutes which is fine but I’d hate to wear it for hours on end.

    I’m not sure US patriotism equals face masks at a time when patriotism doesn’t even include dealing with internal mob violence or dealing with existential military threats to the US.

    But not my problem anymore.

    As our new POTUS will attempt to do (If masks still needed in January), but I suspect many of the remaining GOPers are beyond salvation...

    Not lying about it and not suppressing information would have done wonders for nipping it in the bud after it arrived...for starters. But I'm calling foul on every issue which concerns health and this filthy administration.

    this is 100% false!!!

    Biden said nothing about it being mandatory or enforced by the law.

    it was merely a suggestion.

    "“Every American should be wearing a mask when they’re outside for the next three months at a minimum,” Biden told reporters in Wilmington, Del.

    How could he have nipped it in the bud if Belgium Italy, Spain, the UK and now Brazil could not?
    What specifically should he have done to stop a collection of nucleic acids whose only raison d’etre is to infect as many cells as possible to maximize their own reproduction?

    Trump lied/people died. There would have been less than 160,000 deaths but the p*ick never even tried.

    Yes masks do help reduce the spread of desease from the wearer of the mask. Not a lot but even 20% reduction helps. The m95 are the best of the bunch. A bandana is not so much.

    Nothing, because he did not care, is inept and a sociopathic coward. A compete turn-off and a feckless excuse for a man who is a completely impotent in the clinches.

    I keep hearing that it's a hoax but I don't really understand for what purpose. What does anybody gain by fudging numbers and/or destroying the world economy?

    Have you confirmed that with Melania ? That would clinch the proper description of the PINO.

    Specifics please. These are just insults. What could he specifically have done? Practicalities matter!
