Might want to listen to his North Charleston speech. If he didn't specifically mean that, he certainly implied it - which is a trick he used a lot. He implies a lot of idiotic things to appeal to his idiotic base and then denies them because he only implied them.

I would never ever defend the teenager in charge of our country, but I also won't fall for all the stuff going around.  I agree it is hard to keep up with what is correct and not and totally believable that he'd say this kind of stuff.  As a Pub governor put it, he is a heckler

Didn't we evolve past tribal worship?  Why is it whatever side you lean, you're automatically stereotyped?

So you haven't seen or heard that speech? You just decided that I had only heard that he'd said that and then parroted it?

This actually explains a lot.

In the age of COVID, we all have the potential to unknowingly become an uncontrolled biological weapon set loose on general society.

Let's try and behave like responsible members of society, good citizens:  Frequently wash your hands, social distance whenever possible and wear a mask for the benefit of others.  

Why is any of this even debatable at this point?

Part of the explanation must be that the International media has done a bad job describing Swedens approach and how the pandemic has developed over time here.

People don't understand that life here is not as normal and that we actually have taken some measures that seems to have been effective. 

Saw a CBS News thread on Facebook today. And the amount of people defending Sweden and trying to "correct" the article, while of course, add incorrect facts, was mind blowing to see.

Imagine how heart warming it was for a leftist leaning liberal as myself to see a few hundred American right wingers campaigning for Sweden. Hahaha...

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a conservative non-profit association founded in 1943. The group was reported to have about 5,000 members in 2014. The association has promoted a range of scientifically discredited hypotheses, including the belief that HIV does not cause AIDS, that being gay reduces life expectancy, that there is a link between abortion and breast cancer, and that there is a causal relationship between vaccines and autism. It is opposed to the Affordable Care Act and other forms of universal health insurance.

Total garbage. Moronic. Do better research.

So with everybody pushing this mask thing, how many restaurants are going to go bankrupt?  It's impossible to eat out with wearing a mask and social distancing in a smaller sized restaurant would be very difficult.  It's such a culture shock to a lot of people here in America.  Where do you take a date?  This thing could go on for another year before a vaccine is available.

The country I'm in they space the tables out and everyone wears a mask up until the point that they are at their own table with their food. The really, really small hole-in-the-wall restaurants have stayed take-out only. I don't see anything going bankrupt and the amount of cases we have are minimal, so it seems to be working reasonably well.

To your couch with Netflix and a bottle of liquor like anyone else that gets laid.

Holy poo, remember that barista who got $100k+ in tips after some Karen posted something on FB hating on him because he did his job and told her that a mask was required?

Well, that Karen is now the early leader in the clubhouse for Karen of the Year. She's suing the barista claiming she's entitled to half of those tips.

It is times like these, when every member of a society needs to do their part for the greater good, that narcissists like Amber Lynn Gilles get totally exposed.

Wearing or not wearing mask will not impact restaurants going bankrupt.  I went to a restaurant last week.  Wore my mask inside and got to the table, then was allowed to take it off.  

The Social distancing thing is more problematic for them, but to be honest, so few people are going out right now, that I am not sure it matters.

In my town they are all still open except one burger joint that closed like Day 1 of the pandemic. Our charity has been ordering out a lot.
