Trump supporters and conspiracy theory - Part 2

[Rick Plant]

To put this in a common context, consider that your odds of rolling double sixes with one roll of a pair of dice are 1/36, or 2.77%. Suppose you were offered the chance to win $5 million by rolling double sixes but on the condition that if you failed, your retirement account would be cut by 80%. Virtually no one would take that gamble, because the odds of winning would be extremely low. For ages 0-64, the odds of dying from COVID-19 are even lower than the odds of rolling double sixes.

 

According to Michael T Griffith if you're 64 then you're immune to COVID, but soon as you hit 65 a couple of months later, then you're at "high risk". That's the bogus right wing propaganda and conspiracies he listens to. Absolutely ridiculous. He has no clue what he's talking about. COVID-19 is killing people of ALL ages including children and young adults, because this is a deadly virus.

Richard tells us "masks don't work". Well, if Rudy wore a mask he wouldn't be in the hospital right now with COVID. Who knows how many people this lunatic infected.

Lame Duck Donald was never popular as his approval rating never even hit 50% once.

Biden's already more popular than Trump's ever been

LOL.  So much happiness when someone you don't like is infected with a life threatening virus.  That must have made your day.  Imagine how happy you would have been if Trump died from the virus.  Very pathetic to be filled with so much hate.  And that's not what I said about masks.  Another falsehood. I said masks were not as effective as the dems have claimed.  If they were, then places like NY, California, and other states with mask mandates for months would not be seeing the number of new cases skyrocket.  Can you make that connection?  Even a person of limited intelligence should be able to follow that.

"Wearing face masks in public spaces reduces the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

What is added by this report?

The governor of Kansas issued an executive order requiring wearing masks in public spaces, effective July 3, 2020, which was subject to county authority to opt out. After July 3, COVID-19 incidence decreased in 24 counties with mask mandates but continued to increase in 81 counties without mask mandates.

What are the implications for public health practice?

Countywide mask mandates appear to have contributed to the mitigation of COVID-19 transmission in mandated counties. Community-level mitigation strategies emphasizing use of masks, physical distancing, staying at home when ill, and enhanced hygiene practices can help reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2."

Getting embarrassing Richard. No wonder you can’t explain Darwinism. What is the character trait called when someone is called out but refuses to address the comment?

Still haven’t replied about whether you cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze in a social setting either.

I can't follow this rambling post.  Here is the point again.  Many states have mandated mask wearing for months.  New cases in those states are skyrocketing.   That is just a fact.  Now pay attention and don't get distracted thinking about how a chicken lunch is the key to the JFK assassination, masks wearing may have some benefit in slowing the spread of the virus but it is not as effective as touted by the dems.  Again, not that they don't work at all but that they were politicized to give the impression that they are much more effective than the evidence is showing.  I can't dumb it down any further.

Who cares if it isn't as effective as claimed by the democrats? As long as it slows the spread of the virus, masks should be worn and anybody who argues against that is an idiot.

Who cares?  How about the people who are getting the virus while wearing masks under the mistaken assumption that they are much safer than they really are?  You can't be for real.  LOL.   Again, no one is arguing AGAINST mask wearing.  That is another false narrative that the dems have driven.  Just questioning how effective they are when, for example, the head of the CDC falsely suggested they are as or more effective than a vaccine.  Or Old Joe waves his mask around and reads from the teleprompter that they will save hundreds of thousands of lives.  Maybe some people hear those baseless claims, put their masks on and decide to go about their normal business thinking they are safe when they may not be.  Maybe they would make different decisions if they had not been told these baseless claims.

Oh please... all this fake outrage. If you could you would actually blame the virus itself on the Democrats.

Again, no one is arguing AGAINST mask wearing.

Except Trump. He has been arguing against it for months. Talk about giving people the wrong impression!

Maybe they would make different decisions if they had not been told these baseless claims.

And maybe less people would have gotten infected or died if Trump had not been so negative about wearing a mask.

It's a total falsehood that President Trump has argued against anyone wearing a mask.  Another false narrative.  He has simply not overstated their effectiveness and has instead promoted the vaccine as the real solution to the virus.  He has been 100% accurate on those accounts.  It is the vaccine and not masks that will make the difference.  Mask wearing may provide some protection but it also encourages people to go about their normal activities which offsets much of the value they provide.

BS.. he refused to wear a mask for weeks. You are, once again, trying to rewrite history.
