-catching-coronavirus-from-a-surface.html Not according to actual data. The data is trending more and more toward respiratory transmission and more and more away from touch transmission. Touch transmission is likely possible, but it's looking more and more like respiratory transmission is the dominant method of transmission.

You realize there is actual data STRONGLY suggesting that mask wearing is effective in real world situations, right? So, what are these mental gymanstics truly about? Honestly, I realize that I may need to switch tactics here...

Maybe I need another cup of coffee or maybe it's a bad translation, but what is that quote supposed to be getting at?

Their trust factor for a certain politician certainly hasn't wavered despite spewing blatant falsehoods at every opportunity. Funny how that works.

Constantly evoking whataboutisms and pseudo-science is a far better use of time?

It's so painfully simple. Yet we have people just flat out refusing to do it or engaging in mental gymnastics to convince themselves and others why maybe they shouldn't. Just wear the mask. This isn't a personal liberty issue and it's ridiculous to make it out to be one.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/14/us/politics/trump-cdc-coronavirus.html This is deeply concerning.

Yeah, it's well known that COVID generally doesn't hit the young all that hard when we know the flu can be pretty dangerous for young children.

Many are actually pulling a complete 180. At first, everyone who wore a mask was a pussy. Now they're basically claiming they can't wear masks BECAUSE they are pussies, inventing "issues" they have to explain why they can't endure the tortures of wearing a simple facemask.

I'm likely considerably right of most of the other mods. Right wingers call me a commie and left wingers call me a fascist. Honestly, I think both are completely illogical

If a poster makes it a habit of derailing threads with political conspiracy theories, yeah they'll end up banned at some point.

While blaming it on everyone else.

You're not banned, but you're going to take this to the TB or you'll end up banned.

Good grief, man. Turn off Fox news. It has been mathematically demonstrated time and time again that the rise in cases is not simply due to increased testing. The flu is not a coronavirus. This is literally not "a flu". If you just want to talk politics and psuedo-science, we have a dedicated forum for such tomfoolery. Take it to the TB.

You realize there are actual clinical trials out there on mask effectiveness, right? The evidence is very strong. But, keep convincing yourself otherwise because it's what you desperately want to believe. It's sad that the same people who cried about the lockdowns while claiming there had to be another solution are now crying about the very simple and minimally inconveniencing alternative solution.

What baffles me is that people will believe a politician (who is blatantly ignoring his own advisors) over actual expert medical professionals because... well, honestly because they're really unintelligent.

Highly educated, highly trained medical professionals say one thing but the guy who barely passed his high school science classes shared those memes on Facebook... I wonder who I should believe?

It's almost as if memes aren't the best source of factual information. Shocking, I know.

Pandemic response was never a political issue before this. Republican or Democratic administration, they all saw the need. This administration politicized it and figured what are the odds of it happening on our watch? Well...

Accounting is a shell game. In real dollars that scholarship doesn't truly cost them out of pocket much at all.

South Carolina is currently holding a huge press conference to announce their new measures to curb the spread of the virus. They're not going to allow sales of alcohol after 11pm. That's the beginning and end of the list.

In accounting terms? Sure. In real dollars? Nah.

Imagine being so terrible at business that you have free labor and still find a way to be nine figures in the hole.

You're arguing against and dismissing studies you haven't even seen. The mark of the moron.
