OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

What is your go-to source for what to believe? Nothing really seems to be conclusive (worldwide) these days. Oh, other than let's all wear a mask, regularly wash your hands/face, and stay away from each other.

Errrr.....wait.

Why don't you participate in good faith discussions? I just don't understand why you'd spend so much time in here, if you are not going to be constructive.

 

Because I'm an independent thinker, silly. There are many sides to many issues. Herd mentality doesn't always rule.

 

No, I don't believe you are. Your herd is just a different herd.

There is a great value in discussion, but if one party is just throwing out quips and unreliable data, it makes it 1. demoralizing and 2. meaningless. I just think you can do better. You are intelligent and full of energy/enthusiasm, why not try to see where thoughtful posters are coming from?

 

I have....and do. There are other lines of thought. But, guess what? Invariably, when I share tidbits here and there, they're generally discarded as fake news, drivel, tripe, foolishness, and the like. As this is libtown, I then tend to resort to facetiousness. It's all in the fun, though. I don't take things too seriously.

 

So why do you blindly follow Trump? Why do you blindly support the government interfering with a woman’s right to choose? There are a lot of independent thinkers here, but you’re certainly not one of them. Just because you think differently than so many here does not exactly make you an “independent thinker”. The irony is that, despite your assertions you present as just another MAGA sheep, going with the flow. Your posts are like the little kid who runs into a room from no where, smacks someone at random and then runs outta the room. Some of us are always willing to have our minds changed when presented with facts, it’s just that you never seem to present any.....and then you play the victim card (Or worse, the flip comment card) when you’re called out. Just be honest and admit you don’t want your mind changed in general. at least that is intellectually honest......

 

So don’t complain when we don’t take you seriously.....

 

Never have, never will.

MAGA

 

Because, the last time I checked, the baby isn't getting that same right by some. There is such a thing as standing in the gap for others.

 

Do you read the articles you post? I swear this is like the 4th time you've posted an article that doesn't help your cause. And it's an article from February!

Note: The CDC now recommends everyone wear masks in public to reduce asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19. Since initial publication in February, new research has been published. For an update on the science of masks with respect to COVID-19, please see this article. For those using masks, this article answers questions about wearing, cleaning and maintenance.

Experts, including the CDC, continue to state that the evidence does not show that wearing a mask will protect the wearer, but everyone wearing masks should benefit the population overall. The headline has been changed since publication to reflect this understanding.

 

The good news is that I’m gonna live forever. The bad news is I’m not gonna remember it.....

 

There's always somebody who wants a government grant for getting stoned.

 

Just make sure you respond with lots of emojis as he really enjoys that.

 

oh, you'll remember some of it....mostly the bad parts. Then you'll get stoned to forget those bad parts

Relax, pal. I do know how to wear a mask. I just enjoy inciting your ire...and those of your ilk. If the whole world wears a mask, we'll have this thing beat in 48 days. Promise.
