[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

I've got it

Hey did you guys know that liberals hate masks?  Just the other day I was watching Rachel Maddow and she said that masks suck and only conservatives wear masks as a way to voice their disapproval of Hillary Clinton.

For the billionth time, wearing a mask reduces your chance of spreading a respiratory illness to other people.  It isn't intended to protect you.

Just say you don't want to wear a mask instead of trying to "uh well akshually if you look up the exact dictionary definition of 'prevent' then it's clear that *snort*... " your way out of it.

So other people can still get it even with a mask?  Man, I thought a mask was a COVID-19 silver bullet.

It's only a semantic if you want it to be. I know the difference, but if you choose not to, so be it.  Reduction of spread sounds so less effective than prevention, wouldn't you say?

Well, I stand corrected. You've one upped yourself. You have now made an even worse semantical argument than your previous one regarding "prevent". Maybe you don't understand the definition of "semantic". Your argument is quit literally semantic.

He said he wears his mask.  Are you mad that he's wearing a mask for the wrong reasons or something?

Are you being intentionally dense or does this just come naturally?

Gilead Sciences announced Monday the much-anticipated pricing for its coronavirus treatment remdesivir, saying it will cost hospitals $3,120 for a typical U.S. patient with commercial insurance.

The company announced its pricing plans in preparation for it to begin charging for the antiviral drug in July. The company has been donating doses to the U.S. government for distribution since it received emergency use authorization in May.

The drugmaker said it will sell remdesivir for $390 per vial to governments “of developed countries” around the world, and the price for U.S. private insurance companies will stand at $520 per vial. In the U.S., that means Gilead will charge a lower price for government programs like Medicare and a higher price for private insurers.

“Whether you’re covered by a private insurer, whether you’re covered by a government insurer, whether you’re uninsured with Covid-19, there will not be an issue for access with remdesivir,” Gilead CEO Daniel O’Day said in an interview with CNBC’s Meg Tirrell on “Squawk Box.”

Uninsured individuals will be covered under provisions of the CARES Act, a senior official in the Department of Health and Human Services said on a conference call with reporters Monday. For privately insured people, out-of-pocket costs will be determined by individual insurance plans, the official added.

Just used Huddle logic in that instance.  Sometimes satirical statements reach people better here.

Smart decisions like sticking COVID-19 patients in nursing homes?

 

Whataboutism is tedious and doesn't make a point. Florida has botched this and no amount of "But NYC" is going to change it.

And here we go with the ole Huddle "you don't understand"  fall back argument. Yes, I know what semantics means, however, I would say to you that the average person takes prevention as a literal meaning to STOP.  So no, I don't think you chose that word by accident.  Mask do not stop the spread, it reduces the spread.  It's not really a tom-A-to; tom-a-to thing.  Even when I do go out with a mask, I still know there's a very real chance I may catch it and that mask isn't preventing crap.

Again, using Huddle logic there.  I'm glad you agree.  I was trying the 4corners approach.  Obviously it works for him.
