I like this post because it's a tacit admission that you think it's stupid as hell to have a gigantic circle jerk right now but your gag reflex as a Republican won't let you admit it, so your first reaction is "well what about... "

But to answer your question, one of those groups thinks trying to get people to wear masks in public is a liberal conspiracy to steal their freedom.

Glad I was able to let you get that off your chest

For the purely political minded, you are in an election year and like any other politically minded person, you want to say, "hey, I have freedoms, or, hey you like Trump so your dangerous"  I could care less as Trump or Biden or horrible, horrible alternatives for the country to choose from, embarrassing actually.

But for those who are not constantly breathing their politics, this thing is constantly circling back to what we knew in Jan.  If you are old and especially if you have underlying health conditions, stay safe.  If you know someone like that, stay safe or stay away from them.  Taking precautions are good.

For those in charge, stop sending sick people to rest homes to get well, it is beyond moronic that you would send death sentences to those who are most vulnerable by purposefully putting Covid into their facilities where they cannot get away from it.  Beyond moronic.  Then, you wonder why people do not adhere to your constantly moving goalposts about how to act.  No amount of shaming can substitute for competence.  And the governments and CDC have acted the entire time as if they do not know what to do or how to act.  It started as wear masks, then not wear masks, then back to wear masks.  If the government has already killed your grandparents in the rest home, then I am not sure that people are gonna want to continue following them and their changing rules, especially those who are young.  It is just human nature.  Gov should know that.

complete negligence and mismanagement from the trump administration. He does not care about you. 

Have you noticed how certain posters will say the government is doing a bad job all day long but they'll tie themselves in knots to avoid specifically criticizing the actual people who are running the government.

Does COVID differentiate between BLM and Trump?  Is one mass gathering better or worse as far as the virus?

Just look at the crowds. At the BLM protests, almost everyone was wearing a mask. At the Trump rallies... well, let's see how it shakes out, but advance word is that if you are a true believer in Trump you won't wear a mask and don't need to.

COVID doesn't differentiate, but the practices of the participants will probably differentiate them for it.

Understood.

The problem is, at least for me, that we were told in the beginning to wear masks, then, that unless they were N95 masks, they were no good anyway, then don't wear masks unless you are contagious, then, everyone wear masks, even if just a bandana.

It would be smart, at least for optics for Trump to hand out 50k "red" masks or whatever, at least to make people think they gave a crap, but I think his angle is not so much about safety, at least that is not what he touted 4 years ago, haha.  OK will be just a big drama w/ Trump vs Antifa

And keep in mind, Antifa has been masking for years.....

While there was certainly some mask wearing going on at events, I also most certainly saw plenty of photo op pictures from politicians walking hand in hand with protestors without a mask in sight.

Intriguing observation sir. And now that you mention it, yes, I do see that tendency.

our own govt has found no threats coming from antifa . look at the leaked documents.  its the boogaloo movement and white supremacists that are a threat to law enforcement at the protests, in other words outside antagonists trying to start a race war.  oh, here's the article in case you want to look at it - from the noted liberal rag the washington post.

They're going to hand out masks at tonight's events as a CYA measure. Meanwhile, the demagogue will be on stage refusing to wear a mask and downplaying if not outright completely denying the ongoing pandemic. When the inevitable outbreak among attendees happen, they say, "Well, we handed out masks and told people they were attending at their own risk. They signed a waiver." in complete denial of the pivotal role they played in said outbreak.

    • Raptors blown out by Phoenix. Man this final stretch is gonna be crazy. Seeds 5-10 in the east are separated by 2.5 games… Hawks only team “hotter” than us, and I think they’re bound to come back down to earth with a pretty tough schedule to close out the season. We have some tough games too but ones that I think are very winnable, and still some very very easy games — which we have been winning consistently in 2026. Don’t think we’ve had a bad loss against a team we should beat since the Pacers in either very early January or late December
    • My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong
