Did the chinese not send their "need attention care package" today?This is a fantastic thread. What an election.
Do you ever take your mask off while in the store? If so, then you have defeated the purpose of the mask.....or at least what the "experts" claim. Myself, I think they are useless and don't wear one.
My company makes us wear them when interfacing with our customers or on test drives, otherwise I refuse to wear one. Damn near 99% of folks exposed either are unaware of any exposure or survive symptoms if they appear. Why are we worried about protecting ourselves from something no more threatening to most of us who are healthy than the common influenza virus? It's not the virus that bothers me per se but all of the hype and fear around it.
No..... I also social distance and avoid people that try to get close. I believe it's common sense and It's not a problem for myself and family.
I also think that many of the lock down rules are utter nonsense and are not based on the science.
This isn't complicated and exactly what Biden was doing in the OP you mocked. Why show such hypocrisy?

Come on Bru....you know better....You want me to post the pics that show Biden and wife putting on the masks AFTER getting out of their security detail vehicle.
I'm living life as usual. I'll follow the rules business owners put in place, but unless told otherwise, no mask or social distancing for me.
Here's how I deal with it: I enter business, if they tell me I'm not "social distancing" I leave and won't shop there again. If they refuse to let me enter not wearing a mask, I refuse to shop there again. It may not make a difference, but it's my policy. People keep using "science" as the rational choice. But we aren't using science, we are using hypothetical statistics and fear media reporting. Science says that 99.8% of our immune systems will fight this and be fine.
I don't get your point at all. You wear a mask to prevent the spread to those not normally around you. I assume the individual in the car had proper social distancing guidelines enforced meaning a barrier between front seat and back seat. If not, that is a problem but that isn't your post, is it? Getting out of the car, ok there maybe a second where there isn't proper social distancing and is a minor problem, very minor. But again, that isn't your post.
You are making excuses in your piss poor attempt at doing a political hack job on a serious matter that you actually support. Problem is you, not the Biden's.
I believe that 100%. I still think I had it. Very slight fever for two days and then about 3 weeks of a miserable cough. It wasn't as bad as the last time I had the flu, which was the spring of 2001. I have never had a flu shot and I refuse to get one. I will not live in fear, like leftists leaders want us to. There is no reason to.
Most businesses are merely following their state's rules so they can open. I can't punish them for what idiotic "leaders" force them to do.
I'll do whatever though. Want to shake hands? Of course I will. I refuse to live the life of a leftist. Hanging off a government teat, whimpering at every move and crying when someone upsets me.
Washington (CNN)Dr. Anthony Fauci implored Americans on Wednesday to wear a mask while out in public, a comment at odds with President Donald Trump's repeated downplaying of the necessity of wearing one.
"I want to protect myself and protect others and also because I want to make it be a symbol for people to see that's the kind of thing you should be doing," Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert and a member of the White House's coronavirus task force, told CNN's Jim Sciutto.
Trump has sought to politicize the wearing of masks during the coronavirus crisis. Trump himself has not worn a mask in public during factory tours in recent weeks, even as public health experts have recommended wearing them. This week, Trump shared a tweet that mocked former Vice President Joe Biden for wearing a mask Monday at a Memorial Day ceremony, prompting the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee to call Trump "an absolute fool."

I can blame the business managers and leaders that are pricks about it though. And there have been several.
Fauci should back up what he says by wearing one at all times......HE DOES NOT....I personally have zero issues with Fauci and his lack of mask wearing because he knows when one is needed.....just like Trump.
Trump has never downplayed the necessity of wearing a mask for people that are not tested on a daily basis.....he has repeatedly told us why he does not wear one at all times....makes perfect sense. Joe had NO NEED to wear one at his visit to the memorial.....just a big nothing burger.
I don't see a need for anyone to wear a mask when they are speaking into a camera and there is appropriate social distancing. But as said before and I'm done saying it when im public as the Biden's were the other day, they did the right thing.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with anyone wearing a mask in ANY situation. The fact that you are making a deal out of Joe wearing one is the nothing burger.
Fair enough.......but lets not make it a...."Joe wears a mask"......."Trump refuses to wear a mask"..... news story as portrayed.
These masks do nothing but HELP protect the user, even though it's very minimal to nil, concerning the COVID-19. It's mostly show.
A surgical mask, also known as a face mask, is intended to be worn by health professionals during healthcare procedures. It is designed to prevent infections in patients and treating personnel by catching bacteria shed in liquid droplets and aerosols from the wearer's mouth and nose.They are not designed to protect the wearer from breathing in airborne bacteria or viruses whose particles are smaller.

I've made it out that wearing a mask by our leaders appropriately is a sign of quality leadership in addition to doing the right thing as explained by our medical professionals.
Depends on the jurisdiction. Typically, when in public and possibility of being within 6 feet of others, wear a mask.
