    Get yourself a UV light and use it for small periods daily during winter. Colds and flu's are linked to reduced sunshine as is a weaker immune system linked to vitamin D deficiencies

    This winter is "special" it is also the grand solar minimum so I do recommend the use of the light Moi

    Biden can't manage the virus any better than Trump has done. He can make different recommendations than Trump has, except that the CDC is the group making the recommendations, so those won't change. Any "messaging" changes Biden does won't matter because state governors are individually in charge of the health of their state's citizens. They can take a President's "national" health recommendations and follow them with even more strict measures, or they can tell him to bugger off.

    Even Kamala said they can issue a nationwide "mask mandate" but the federal government can't enforce one. It's just a recommendation. Nothing more.

    I can't believe y'all have spent an entire year blaming Trump for mismanagement, when the president doesn't even have very much power or control over health responses, except to do what Trump has done. Push through tests, treatment and vaccine approvals, and back up the state governors if they get in trouble and need more resources. Most of the work that can be done has been done....by Trump.

    I'm sure you will prefer Biden's messaging of authoritarian health control measures over Trump's economic freedom messaging, but the outcome will be the same. Blue states will lock everyone up. Red states will provide as much freedom and economic opportunity as possible, while recommending masks and social distancing and selectively shutting small outbreaks only if the hospitals are starting to get burdened.

    Basically nothing changes but a switch to "government control" propaganda messaging to make you "feel" safer.

    (To heck with the economic disaster.)

    "Managing the virus" is the same as saying "The Emperor's New Clothes are beautiful"

    An exercise in delusional thinking, nothing more.

    I'm beginning to wonder if the "outbreaks" in the northern and northwestern tiers of states is actually the flu instead of covid.

    Some say the CDC info strongly suggests that the virus itself has not been isolated. What if they are correct?

    The biggest mistake Trump made was to let it get ahead of us.
    That's a hard one to fix unless you have a time machine.

    Seeing as they spiked outside of flu season . . . put two and two together. But that would require actually looking at the numbers . . . which fringe conspiracy theorists refuse to do since they never actually cared about evidence to begin with.

    So . . . C would be someone actually paying attention to the ****ing facts, showing some kind of regard for the health and safety of others, and even following the guidelines produced by the White House . . . care to actually think about this some more?

    Actually looking at the numbers requires that one understands the PCR tests are bogus and not designed for diagnostic purposes.

    Actually looking at the numbers requires that one understands that all the whistleblowers in the industry that pointed out how the books were being cooked were quickly censored and vilified by the mainstream media.

    Actually looking at the numbers requires that one understands that this virus has an extremely low mortality rate. After all these months I still do not personally know anybody who died from it. I do know the friend of a friend who died from it, but I also know the numbers and books have been cooked from the start. I also know there has been financial incentives and political incentives to cook the books.

    The excess mortality numbers show that you have no idea what you are talking about. Your attempts to run away from the data by appealing to anecdotes is just absolutely vapid -- not even a well-informed junior high student would fall for that. It is completely devoid of even the most basic of critical thinking.

    That makes me feel so much better about a really good friend dying from this

    And I know it makes my friend feel better about his mother dying from it...really

    And here I thought you told us you were in favor of mask wearing. Was I mistaken about you?

    I have told you many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many....

    times that I wear a mask. There is a mask mandate in conservative red Texas.

    Biden is just talking out of his butt. Most states and/or cities already have mask mandates. He isn't really adding any value except empty political rhetoric.

    So you ONLY wear a mask because there is a mandate?

    That's how Trump fans feels about each and every one of the TWO HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND who have died so far from this.

    C would be somebody wearing a mask to impress and deceive people . No need to mask when you are 15 very away from others , walking outdoors or speaking from a podium. If he wants to set an example using hand sanitizer before he fiddles with his mask and popping vitamin D with zinc would be nice. :please:

    Death isn't fun, regardless of circumstance. Celebrating death from COVID is just nasty. Not sure why you get so much joy from it. Are you the angry guy I saw without a mask at the supermarket today? He was so angry, he left freezer doors open.
