You guys just keep trotting out that strawman that people believe, or that masks are supposed to be, 100% effective in stopping covid-19.



If the person then sits on you, you are still going to get wet.

OMG WHY WEAR PANTS!

I usually only lurk here at DT, but I had to chime in as this hits home for me.

NM has only been doing this for about a week. And only if rigorous conditions are met. Before that it was 100% lockdown.

It's the same here in Florida, and probably the vast majority of the country. Long term care facilities were 100% locked down due to the Governor's mandate. My mother-in-law was in one since before the pandemic. Neither my wife nor father-in-law was allowed to visit her since February. It was very heartbreaking for all of us but especially them.

She passed away last month, but for her last few days, she was transferred to Hospice care. The silver lining was that we could all visit her in the Hospice facility, so at least we had a chance to say goodbye. There are many, many families that did not have that luxury.
Condolences Joeman.

My PCP yesterday advised me to have at least an initial interview with hospice, said she would sign the papers. They are great.

My family that I haven't seen for 3 years will be here tomorrow. I'll think about it some more.

Melania was supposed to hit the campaign trail today.

It has been canceled because she has a “lingering cough” from COVID.

For those touting an international 'study' saying Remdesivir does not help prevent deaths in COVID-19, apparently the 'study' DID NOT have a placebo group!!!! And the investigators WERE NOT BLINDED!!!!! Those who have actually done real research are laughing....

Amazing that it even got published. If I get COVID-19, I get Remdesivir as soon as possible. Like the President did. I don't think I have enough 'pull' to get the Regeneron drug.....

This administration’s COVID response has been a complete and utter failure. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional.

Because pants are a normal thing to wear.

Last 2 times I went into the grocery store without pants the manager had a cow.
The President is a fink.

This is terrible. This 104 year old
woman has been locked in a
nursing home for 6 months and
is begging to see her kids.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I mean to be somewhat fair, both are technically correct.
