Corona Virus

I had some of these made. The kind with the hole in the top that you can put a coffee filter in.

Magical masks are still not stopping COVID-19.  Hong Kong is experiencing a uptick new cases.  Did they stop wearing masks?  No?  Why then is this happening?  Spin away folks, it's what you do best.  Masks are just one small defensive measure.  There are so many, many ,many layers to this issue, mostly being political and about profits, but sure let's keep this about a singular issue, mask wearing.   This is being exposed more by the day.  At some point the MSM won't be able to keep a lid on it anymore.

New Uptick in Hong Kong as Fear of Third Wave

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

145 new cases in a city of 7.5 million people would barely even register as background noise in the US.  That article just illustrates how much more seriously a place like Hong Kong is taking this than we are here in Trumpland.  HK is one of the most densely populated cities on the planet and it's impossible to prevent all transmission in a place like that no matter what you do.

Nobody said that masks are magic, nobody said that they stop 100% of infections, quit making poo up and projecting.  You're the only one spinning here.  Why are you so damn triggered by a piece of cloth.

I mean let's use your own logic here.  If masks don't work then every other country on earth where mask-wearing is already embedded in the culture and considered a normal behavior should be doing just as bad or worse than us, yet they aren't.

mounting research is also showing that wearing a mask will minimize how severe you get it - if you get it.

For reference Miami-Dade county has about 2.7 million people and reported almost 3000 new cases yesterday.  Using a city as dense as Hong Kong and saying that it's proof that masks don't help because they recorded a "spike" of 145 cases makes the exact opposite point you think it does.

According to Wikipedia:

Quote

Headline population density of about 6,800 people/km2 does not reflect true densities since only 6.9% of land is residential, the residential average population density calculates closer to a highly cramped 100,000/km2.

100,000 people per square kilometer and you're busting a nut and throwing a parade for your big brain over 145 new cases in a day.

It's also entirely possible that they're experiencing their second wave now, which is something that everyone said was going to happen anyway.  We're still rolling along in wave 1 here.

It's newly resurfaced...for a THIRD time, dude. It needs time to spread.  They wear masks, have worn masks and will continue to wear masks.  It hasn't gone away.  Again, an attempt to keep this singular, divisive issue and ignore the big picture.  Follow the shiny object and not look any deeper.  Masks HELP, but that's not the end all.  So we can go back and forth all day, but I already know the deal.

Does Miami-Dade not have a mask mandate?  I will look, but going off memory, I thought they one in place.  Shiny object continued.

You made a bad argument and just need to own it.  Yeah I'm going to go out on a crazy limb and say if everybody wore a mask in public it would slow the spread of the virus and possibly allow some normal activities to resume.

The people who made this a divisive, political issue are squarely in your corner of the political spectrum by the way.

So when Biden wins, you guys will get in taxis going the opposite direction.

LOl!  Nah man, I'm good. Mask slow, not stop just like Hong Kong experienced as it resurfaced again. Keep following the piper.  Most of America has resumed, FYI.

Miami-Dade EXPANDS Mask Mandate

Apparently the second wave of cases has passed and we are two weeks from the peak in deaths. Hopefully this was the second wave and not an extension of the first wave.
