Louie Gohmert tested positive and Herman Cain is still in the ICU fighting for his life. Oddly enough his twitter feed (I'm sure it's an intern, but nobody said "Hey maybe cool it while the boss is fighting for his life") is still posting non sense about Covid and what liberal hysteria it is. Sorry, but at what point do you quit being an asshole, stand up and set a good example for Americans to follow so we can slow this down?
Gohmert too recently said he would only wear a mask if he tested positive, which is like saying he'd only wear a condom if he got an STD. Much like Cain, he's still staying incredibly stupid things, stating that he probably got it from wearing a mask.

How can it be effective if two weeks pass before I know if I was positive?
Probably not unfortunately.

Not even in your dreams son. Fleas look down on you.
Oh yeah, reported.
Karen wants to speak to the manager.
Dude, that's not the same thing to what's being claimed. People are suggesting that he'll use the military to install a dictatorship.
I haven't read anybody claim that. I'm sure there are, but it's few and far between.
You're just ignoring his post and pivoting to argue against a strawman.
Personally I'd be ok if he chose Condi Rice and I think he should. Bring the country together & have someone experienced & competant in as VP.
A unity ticket would be ideal. Biden is president for one term only and we save the country from authoritarian rule.

We can survive four years of Trump like we just did.
You're naive.
Trump's assault on our constitution, the rule of law, democracy and the first amendment is pushing us into 1984 territory. Right now he's sending federal troops into "liberal run cities" after their local governments have explicitly asked him not to. We're seeing unmarked cars and unidentified, military style forces kidnap Americans without due process in cities across the country as they exercise their first amendment rights. I'm watching our president lie about the "massive voter fraud" that takes place with mail in ballots.
You came here to celebrate when his corrupt AG announced that the Mueller investigation found Trump innocent. You were easily duped by such obvious abject corruption and blatant lies. Most knew Burr's claims were false, but not you. You took that as a moment to scold everybody that they'd been clutching pearls for the previous 6 months.
So it's either naivete or you're too concerned about placating the authoritarian sycophants here out of fear they will bully you. Sticking safely to this "both sides" bullshit narrative.

Best part:
During a 2018 show at Aloha Stadium in Hawaii, she felt a tug on her hair midway through a song. She looks back and sees Axl Rose standing there with a big chunk of blue hair in one hand and a large pair of scissors in the other. “I’m like, ‘What the fuck is going on?'” she says. “I stopped playing and started screaming. He runs away and I don’t know if he’s taken off a huge chunk or what.”
It turns out the hair wasn’t hers — it was all a practical joke that Axl spent weeks meticulously plotting out. He even had a tour assistant bring him different wigs with all sorts of shades of blue so he could find the perfect match for her hair. “They went through all the possibilities of what might happen,” says Reese. “Someone even said she might grab the scissors and stab you. But he was so pleased with himself and it was pretty fucking rad.”

The Lincoln Project has been relentless in its attacks on Trump and his complicit Senators. With new ads almost daily. There are a few other Republican groups who are also hitting him hard with ads. I don't remember ever seeing something like this before.

I don't think trump makes it to election day. Yesterday, was a MASSIVE pivot on cornavirus and masks. And this president NEVER pivots!
Someone got to him about how bad this winter may become, and that it really needs attention, direction, and something needs to be done. I bet he was predicting on restarting the riots to divert attention from covid, which is why he wanted to send in federal agents to multiple northern, urban cities, since covid is mostly down south. There haven't been protests in Philly in over a month. I don't think NYC has had them either for some time.
Someone talked him out of that. I think ppl were prepared to quit & out him over it.
I don't think he'll drop out. The executive office is his hedge against criminal charges in NY for starters. But ultimately it's his narcissism that will keep him from dropping out IMO. Of course one could argue that the narcissist's biggest fear is losing an election. But just like 2016, he's already prepping for that result with claims of "voter fraud" and is not sure if he'll accept the results if he loses.
It's very dangerous territory for our country to be in.

That WHO statement was basically retracted.
Meanwhile, cases are exploding in many areas, primarily in the south and southwest. We're in this for the long haul.
I find it interesting how people attack science. As we get new data, we arrive at new conclusions. There is plenty to learn about this virus as we move forward.
A new study also found that wearing a mask will also help protect you from an infected person. It does this by lowering the viral load that you may be breathing in. They're finding that people who became infected while wearing a mask (or short exposures in general without one) had milder symptoms and weren't nearly as sick.
So yes, wear your mask to protect others when you're out. But know now that it probably significantly reduces the amount of virus you could also be taking in.
The illness is debilitating. People are suffering the effects months after clearing it. People are catching it twice. Medical bills are devastating. If more people catch it, shut down orders don't matter. People will stay home.
You don't want to catch this. Even if you're a healthy 20 year old, it could leave you with long lasting issues for many months afterwards (so far that we know.)
I'd still argue the death rate it also important though.
