You would be wrong in this instance.


Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

The flu is going around now. Masks didn't help.
A lot of people, especially Republicans, aren’t wearing masks. Gee I wonder why they didn’t help?
Mask wearing is at 90-95%.
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

So does that mean Trump supporters are 5% of the population?

I walked into that one :razz

But since only 5 or 10% of rally goers in Trump world wear masks and mask usage overall is 90-95% supposedly (I highly doubt that number Matt pulled out of his ass) then it stands to reason that there aren’t many Trump supporters and most of those who are go to each rally.

Completely false.
I was in the UP earlier this month, GR this weekend, and AA all the rest. In all places, I saw high levels of mask wearing where required. Its not 100%, but its close. 90-95% is a low estimate based on my observation. I even see some virtue signalers wearing masks when there is no need.

Wearing masks outside in groups is not virtue signaling, especially if people are from different households.

Wearing a mask when you're jogging in the middle of the street at 7am is virtue signaling.

It could also be a forgetful person wanting to have the damn thing and not having a pocket to put it in. Few people calculate their actions at that level...

I have done that. I will sometimes go grocery shopping or do that after I have visited my parents for a couple hours. I will realize that during the 15 minute drive home, I forgot to remove my mask. It happens.

You might be right in this case. Said person always "forgets" that it isn't a great idea to run in the middle of the street in the dark, wearing dark clothes.

He’s friends with said people who think bikes belong in the road with cars and need to be given all the rights and privileges of said vehicles.

I'd have to dig around to find them now, but there were several articles written several months ago about the possible risks of "over-isolation" and the impacts it would have on overall health. The idea being that isolating and protecting your body from being exposed to everyday "risks" in terms of infections will reduce the body's ability to naturally respond with its own immune system. It is quite likely we might see WORSE flue seasons because of folks being isolated and using masks... not while they're using masks, but after we get past "the big pandemic".

Many more could die from complications of those infections than those that actually died from "the big pandemic".
