    So you also have reading comprehension issues. I only pointed out the OP should have issue with Cruz and DeSantis being ok with forcing kids to wear masks. Is that too much for you to grasp?

    Those are not long term solutions. I'll ask you the same question.... Are you prepared to wear a mask the rest of your days? Forever?

    Because masks aren't cutting it. It's an impractical, medieval technology that doesn't fully work for crap.
    The vaccines still allow the transmission of the virus, unlike vaccines for Polio or Small Pox.
    Shutting down the economy is not a solution, either.

    People are ignoring actual science and ignoring the practicalities of this issue, while also not calling for the people responsible to be penalized aren't helping anyone.

    Giving up is the smartest thing you've done today.

    And here come the insults. Figures. No, your point about Cruz and DeStantis were debunked post and posts ago. And yet you're still here.

    masks help during a pandemic, but I agree, masks are not the long term solution

    vaccines reduce the transmission rate, by reducing the time frame of spread and amount of that spread

    The flu hits every year. We do not call it a "pandemic". Sure, COVID is slightly more fatal than the flu. Slightly.

    COVID is Flu 2.0. It is not polio. It is not small pox. It is here to stay now.

    And I'll stick with my opinion in the face of science deniers that merely want to score political points.

    Covid was classified a pandemic under Trump, he declared a national emergency, issued guidelines to the states to shut down, declared himself a war time president against an invisible enemy... seems it was more than just a flu

    Claims we have reading comprehension difficulties......also says Desantis is forcing people to wear masks......
    Then reality rears it's ugly head......I swear you could not make this up. I'm done feeding him.


    Governor DeSantis bans mask mandates and other COVID-19 ...
    https://www.wcjb.com › 2021/07/30 › governor-desantis-...


    Jul 30, 2021 — Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order banning mask mandates, school closures or other COVID-19 restrictions across the state.

    Pointing out that Cruz and DeSantis are fine with forcing kids to wear a mask is denying science? Um...ok

    Ignoring the fact that he's clearly ok with his kids and every other kid in his kids school being forced to wear a mask.

    No, now you're trying to deflect back to your original deflection. But let's go ahead and put the nail in this coffin, since you want to make it political instead of practical.

    You assume that in their personal lives, that they "are fine" with forcing kids to mask. That's an assumption you cannot prove. They may indeed be NOT happy about the private school mandates, but do not want to rip their kids out of their social circles just to take away your stupid talking point.

    They did not advise the schools to mandate masks.

    So your point is unserious political partisan BS. Thanks.

    Now we know it's like the flu. So if the COVID is a pandemic, then the annual flu is, too. Thanks.

    The proof is neither has spoken out against the schools policy. and once again you seem not to understand. This isn't about Cruz and DeSantis...it's about the OPs partisan hypocrisy of not calling out anyone on his side.

    That's not proof. That's you making a dumb comment. To prove they are hypocrites, you will need to prove 1) that they are secretly happy about the mask mandates at their kids' schools. You cannot. And 2) that they should rip their children out of their social networks and sacrifice their kids' education to make you happy, lol.

    That's your argument. None of which you can "prove". All either one would have to say is, "I don't support the mask mandates at my kids' schools, but the education there is superior to the leftist-controlled, dumbed down indoctrination of public schools." And your point is toast.

    And that's all for that deflection talking point of yours. Back to the original topic.

    Where did I argue they are hypocrites? It's utterly amazing you can read a post and see something entirely different than what is actually posted.

    And are spreading Delta in FL right now, as we type.

    Lambda in Louisiana. From South America. Of course, with our southern border wide open, it's no surprise that Lambda popped up. Which makes my point. COVID is forever now.

    You are correct I do not, but what I do have is someone I once called a friend that has been taken off of her vent so she can die peacefully.

    Sorry for your loss. My mother's circle currently has 6 people in it who have gotten COVID after being fully vaccinated.

    It's a damned mess Fauci and his ilk created.

    we will see, if the vaccines continue to work, it will be like earlier virus, kept at bay

    the vaccine targets the spikes, which means much better chance of working for future covid variants as well

    So, you've chosen the science denier path. Got it.

    Actual science says that vaccinated people can harbor and spread Delta.

    Then will be Lambda.

    Then Theta.

    There's only so many letters in the Greek alphabet to name the variants, of which there are already many.


    While people are harboring the disease without knowing it, the virus can mutate. Simple science.
