akirby Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Get over this wearing a mask makes you a sheep crap. It makes you a responsible human being that cares about other people. Surgeons and nurses wear masks every day, does that make them sheep? 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92merc Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I'm wearing a mask. My wife is in chemo, so I have to do what I have to do in order to keep her safe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 You know why I think masks are BS? I'm on vacation right now and every single restaurant we've been to requires a mask unless you’re seated at a table. How is that supposed to help anything?

Anthony Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) I was explaining this to someone the other day....I can't really blame the right for thinking masks are BS, that's all they hear from Fox News. You are going to believe what you are being fed. Just like the left-leaning news orgs are going to spin things the way they want. Want a nice non-biased news source? Try Reuters or AP News. They don't run their crap through a bias filter like Fox (right) or CNN (left).. News does not need to be entertainment or have a slant...it should just be news. PS: Masks are not BS.

akirby Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 If you’re right then it’s just a minor inconvenience. If you’re wrong you could be spreading it to others who end up hospitalized or dead. Is it really worth the risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Signs are pointing to the virus mutating so its easier to catch, hence part of the reason case numbers are going up. Typically viruses that are easier to catch are less harmful. So no, I'm not worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev-Mo Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) This will not go over well with some here - Was picking up something I needed the other day at local Target. Came up on the large display of masks, the style that Joe Biden is making "fashionable' with his 'Black Bart mask and aviator sunglasses style' on the rare occasion that he leaves the basement - well, I picked the product off the rack and in true genuine patriotic action looked closely at the label: MADE IN CHINA. Of course Joe, who claims he is 'tough on China; wants everyone to get one of these by government mandate. Common sense 101: When your poison and antidote come from the same place (in this case; China), you are surly getting take for a ride! The simple bottom line is, unless you are wearing a genuine US made (not a Chinese knockoff) 3M N95 mask (which is actually a highly engineered PPE device), you are wearing a wearing a filthy bacteria trap posing as a virtuous gesture signal towards those living in fear. If you choose to wear a mask, fine. Others can make their own choice. Same concept as vaccinations: If you or your kid is vaccinated, and you are sure that the vaccination works, then why should you care if someone else is not? If you are wearing your made in China mask, and the mask is working, then why should you care is someone else is not?

Near the end, the the president verbally cited the "F-150 and its toughness" as one of the examples of products that the USA should aspire to again manufacture. The F-150 by name, was cited right after the '"Saturn V Rocket". That is some pretty awesome company to be compared to! Not sure how Ford pulled off that product placement, but the South Dakota red audience loved hearing 'F-150' and cheered loudly! I can only speculate that Trump, while often coming off as a jerk, is a pretty loyal guy, and he might have been returning a shout-out to Ford for stepping up and helping manufacture devices during the start of the Chinese WuFlu outbreak - just a guess.

If you are wearing your made in China mask, and the mask is working, then why should you care Because some people can’t be vaccinated and your un vaccinated kid poses a risk. Besides, children should be protected from the stupidity of their parents when it puts the child’s life in danger. And you don’t get full protection unless both people are wearing masks. There is no health risk for healthy folks so refusing to wear one is really just saying F* everybody else (including your own family and friends) because you don’t want to inconvenience yourself. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Uh oh, Fox News is now reporting that mask-wearing is effective in reducing the risk in both healthy and sick. https://www.foxnews.com/health/wearing-mask-cuts-own-risk-novel-coronavirus-65-percent-experts-say Edit: AND blaming his Tulsa rally for the jump in infections?!?! https://www.foxnews.com/us/health-official-trump-rally-likely-source-virus-surge Man, they must be cutting ties early with Trump. Another good reason to avoid news sites like this. Flip-flopping instead of factual reporting. Weren't they promoting masks as a hoax not too long ago?

The article is referring to 'standard surgical masks' when most people are wearing a piece of cloth that grandma made from an old tee shirt or sun dress with pony tail ties, or one of these made in China masks from the rack at Target. Nobody would ever argue that real 'medical grade' equipment is not effective, but that is not what I see out there. Typical warning printed on the label right near where it says: Made in China: Mare not designed or intended to prevent, mitigate, treat, diagnose or cure any disease or health condition, including COVID-19/Coronavirus. Masks are intended for general public use only. They are non-sterile and are not intended for use in any clinical or surgical setting or where exposure to bodily or hazardous fluids may be expected, where the risk of exposure through inhalation is high, or near intense heat or flammable gas. Masks are not surgical masks, personal protective equipment, or filtering respirators (such as N95 masks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But everyone/society has a right to be healthy and be protected against preventable diseases. So which one is more important than the other?

Joe771476 Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 From what I understand, Biden can't complete a coherent sentence to save his life! Some people say he will either be removed from office for being unable to serve competently, or die naturally, or be assassinated so that you will have your first minority/female president!

ehaase Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Some say Biden has neurological issues from having a brain aneurysm years ago, not necessarily memory issues or dementia. I suspect he will win and taxes will go up a little, defense spending will be increased less than under Trump, and social and environmental spending will also go up a little.

MrMajestyk Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 The virus narrative is scheduled to expire on November 4th. Without COVID-19 panic Democrat Party cannot easily achieve ‘mail-in’ voting; which they desperately need in key battleground states in order to control the outcome. Without COVID-19 panic Democrat Party cannot shut down rallies and political campaigning efforts of President Trump; which they desperate need to do in key battleground states. Without COVID-19 panic Democrat Party cannot block the campaign contrast between an energetic President Trump and a physically tenuous, mentally compromised, challenger. Without COVID-19 panic Democrat Party does not have an excuse for cancelling the Democrat convention in Milwaukee; thereby blocking Team Bernie Sanders from visible opposition while protecting candidate gibberish from himself. Without COVID-19 panic Democrat Party does not have a mechanism to keep voters isolated from each-other; limiting communication and national debate adverse to their interests. COVID-19 panic pushes the national conversation into the digital space where Big Tech controls every element of the conversation. Without COVID-19 panic Democrat Party cannot keep their Blue state economies easily shut-down and continue to block U.S. economic growth. All thriving economies are against the political interests of Democratic Party. Without COVID-19 panic Democrat Party cannot easily keep club candidate Joe Biden sealed in the basement; where the electorate is not exposed to visible signs of his dementia. Without COVID-19 panic it becomes more difficult for Big Tech to censor voices that would outline the fraud and scheme. With COVID-19 panic they have a better method and an excuse. Without COVID-19 panic Democrat Party cannot advance, influence, or organize their preferred presidential debate format, a ‘virtual presidential debate’ series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blksn8k2 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Granted, I live in a rural community but if yard signs are any indication of voter preference Biden (Hiden?)/Harris are running a distant third behind Trump/Pence and Yard Sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe771476 Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 My son said two of his friends went to polling place and ballot ALREADY had Biden's name checked off! They had to go through hell to get them replaced! Now, all the police unions encouraged their members and voter-age family members to vote for Trump, a big change for them! Restaurant owners and other adversely effected busnesses like gyms etc. voted for Trump. Add just 1/3 of the general public and you have a Trump win!
