When you kids have had enough of high taxes and paying for free everything for everyone lets us know. It will happen when you grow up.

Um...that is not what the experts are saying.

Studies on the new coronavirus and other germs show wearing a mask helps stop infected people from spreading disease to others. Evidence also suggests that masks may offer some protection for the people wearing them.

*may* *some protection*

While some droplets may still spread out, wearing a mask could reduce the amount, providing a benefit to others.

If the mask is only about protecting yourself then why are they so hellbent on everyone wearing them? My body my choice as your side likes to chant all so often.

Um, when have the Dems ever claimed that Trump was blowing the pandemic out of proportion? Please, find me that story. I'll wait.

“We have right now a crisis with the coronavirus, emanating from China,” Biden said on Jan. 31 at a campaign event in Iowa. “A national emergency worldwide alerts. The American people need to have a president who they can trust what he says about it, that he is going to act rationally about it. In moments like this, this is where the credibility of the president is most needed, as he explains what we should and should not do. This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia – hysterical xenophobia – and fearmongering to lead the way instead of science.”

In an op-ed published several days prior in USA Today, Biden similarly argued: “The possibility of a pandemic is a challenge Donald Trump is unqualified to handle as president.” Biden wrote that he recalled “how Trump sought to stoke fear and stigma during the 2014 Ebola epidemic.” Trump, Biden wrote, “railed against the evidence-based response our administration put in place — which quelled the crisis and saved hundreds of thousands of lives — in favor of reactionary travel bans that would only have made things worse.”

So...Biden said that the travel restrictions were not rational and hysterical (In other words...blown out of proportion). Keep in mind...at the point Biden made these statements we already had confirmed cases here in the US. Worldwide we were already at a death toll of more than 200 and an exponential jump to more than 9800 cases...this was in less than a month of public being aware of it.

Masks do NOTHING to prevent the spread of the virus.

Anyone still sharing this nonsense should be arrested. Seriously. You're endangering the common good. The house is on fire and you're telling everyone inside that they're safe staying home.

As for "doctor" Ted, he should have his medical license revoked for spreading this kind of bologna. He's also not an expert on diseases. He's an anesthesiologist. Big difference. So, I wouldn't take his word for any of this, especially when the CDC is saying otherwise.

First of all, his "experiment" is deeply flawed. Ted compares a bunch of masks to each other, but he never shows you what happens when no mask is worn. That's the important difference. He also focuses on breathing out and completely ignores how masks affect breathing in, which is another important difference. (Wearing a mask is more about protecting yourself from others than protecting others from you.)

He also doesn't show you an N95 mask, which is a HUGE oversight. (I'm willing to bet that he did have an N95 mask, but once he tried it out and realized what a huge difference it made, he wasn't willing to change his hypothesis. So, he ignored the evidence that didn't support his assumption...which is the exact opposite of what good doctors do.)

Furthermore, there's a big difference between visible smoke and the invisible droplets and aerosol that spread the virus. You cannot see droplets and aerosol, so a visual "test" that's shared on YouTube proves literally nothing. He needs to do the same test in a lab with scientific equipment and special cameras that can accurately measure the true rate of transmission and all the other----

Oh wait! Someone already did that. Phew.

Here's the real truth of the matter. While it's technically correct to say that masks do not stop 100% of covid (or any other virus, for that matter), they do significantly reduce the rate of transmission. The best masks can reduce transmission rates as much as 95%, and even cheap masks can reduce the rate to manageable margins.

So, get a good mask (yes, some are much better than others), wear it correctly (don't stick out your nose), and don't leave home without it.

If you are concerned about the Covid deaths then you need to ask why the Democrats have opposed Trump...claimed he was blowing the pandemic out of proportion...and sent infected into conditions that would infect others

Where is this opposition? If anything, the dems have been wondering why the doctors are saying one thing but trump saying/doing another. Also, not only ignoring, giving contradictory and trying to undermine Fauci and the CDCs guidelines trying to stem this pandemic; voing against any and all recommendations of not holding indoor events, not wearing masks & trying to not increase the spread of the virus any more.
