    That’s interesting data. LOL. But even with the help below your reply it isn’t supportive of your claim. A snapshot from yesterday does not support the claim “more ppl have gotten it in red states”. You’ve been misled.

    the issue is more local. This is a virus. People have to be respectful of others. we are seeing the larger outbreaks in lib areas, like Miami-Dade, NYC, LA, San Fran because of the type of selfish leftwingers that live there

    No, I MOST DEFINITELY didn't!!!! I've been saying the VERY OPPOSITE since the beginning and almost having shouting matches with the people who say that masks don't protect the wearer, including, I've posted MULTIPLE TIMES a meta-analysis with 29 studies showing that they do protect the wearer, and I said I blame Fauci for his lie regarding this, and never forgave him for it, dammit!!! Either you have a really BIG reading comprehension problem or you're mixing me up with someone else, because there isn't any poster here on Political Forum that is a bigger defender of masks TO PROTECT THE WEARER than the one known as CenterField.

    If you want to tell a big LIE like this about my posting, then post a link to the post where I supposedly said so.

    The only thing I've said that might remotely be understood as such is that cloth masks are much less effective to protect the wearer than ASTM Level 3 surgical grade facemasks enhanced with a sealing-promoting device like the 3-rubber band technique, or N95 or higher-grade respirators. But still, even cloth masks protect some.

    Bandanas and neck gaiters though, are minimally protective if at all.

    Good points.
    About the CoronaVac I wouldn't trust the Chinese but I do trust the Brazilians with whom I worked in the past (and we remain in touch), and they confirm the Chinese data as they were able to replicate the findings on site.

    For protection I would recommend a faceshield.
    Have that kisser sock on and a faceshield and be anal about your hygiene protocol and be extremely careful in your social live.

    You do that you have a very good chance not to catch the virus.

    But still, I would not take any vaccine, which has not gone through the rigors of a German and EU certification

    Don't underestimate the American FDA, please. We are actually more careful than you Europeans since the size of your Pharmacopeia is larger than ours, that is, there are many drugs that have achieved approval in Europe but did not earn approval in the United States. Also remember, you all resumed the Oxford/AstraZeneca phase 3 trial after the transverse myelitis episode, while our FDA has not resumed the trial here, wanting more data and more investigation. Sure, currently our FDA is influenced by politics which is regrettable, but it is not to say that we don't have outstanding career scientists working at the FDA.

    Sure, face shields help, but do remember that they protect less against aerosol, than medical-grade goggles with a seal, given that face shields are open to the outside air. They do add some help in avoiding droplets hitting the masks. Me, I often have an N95 respirator + medical-grade goggles + a face shield on top of overything.

    The one you claimed was controlled?
    Perhaps you should understand what you post.

    I tried to get medical grade goggles and other equipment of that grade for my employees. You just can not get them. Even after 6 month.
    The suppliers will decline you, because you are a new customer.
    I have struggled through it since March. You order and than 2 days later you get the e-mail, declined.
    Same for protecting clothing. We fabricate them out of Tyvenec. We were barely able to get enough vinyl gloves, nearly ran out of them.
    When we do customer laundry, we are at a very high risk.
    I take it more than serious. I am the BOSS, the buck stops with me, no matter what.
    It has been a serious burden to me, my employees and my customers are my responsibility and it is seriously dragging on me

    He is done politically
    He knew he was exposed and continued as if nothing had happened, debate and fund raisers.
    The bubble burst.
    The trumps grew up in a bubble. They paid of, they never took responsibility, they had cash and lawyers.
    The golden cage, the bubble.
    They thought they were untouchable, the bubble
    It burst, as bubbles do.
    Its game over

    Yet, with all this gross incompetence for all to see, 30%+ will still vote for him as if their life depended on it.

    Covid-19 is obviously a win for the Donald. It keeps him away from putting orange make-up on his ugly face.
    He looks much more natural these days. :)

    Sounds like Kayley Whatsherface is reporting a positive COVID test today.

    Although since she broke the news herself, it's likely a lie, so I don't know what to believe.

    If she does have it, she's likely to have been the first person in the country to intentionally contract it, so she could be closer to Glorious Leader... 60 hours for her without Trump is like 5 minutes for us without oxygen...

    What kind of amateur-hour analysis is this?

    New York has had ~33,000 deaths, about twice as many as NJ, CA, and TX (at about 16,000 each). 3 of the 4 highest death states are solidly blue.
