Re: Trump - a puzzling enigma
The UK has done worse than the US, despite lockdowns and mask wearing. And Biden isn't going to lock down the country so how is that any different from what Trump has done?

I don’t expect there would be obvious difference except for transparency.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 7:57 pm The UK has done worse than the US, despite lockdowns and mask wearing. And Biden isn't going to lock down the country so how is that any different from what Trump has done?

You do realise that it was WHO that was was saying mask wearing was unnecessary and could be counterproductive don't you?commonsense wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 7:59 pmI don’t expect there would be obvious difference except for transparency.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 7:57 pm The UK has done worse than the US, despite lockdowns and mask wearing.

We had no enforced mask wearing here for that reason.

If you’re thinking that Biden will mandate masks, all I can say is that I don’t things will look any different than with voluntary masking.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 8:02 pmYou do realise that it was WHO that was was saying mask wearing was unnecessary and could be counterproductive don't you?commonsense wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 7:59 pmI don’t expect there would be obvious difference except for transparency.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 7:57 pm The UK has done worse than the US, despite lockdowns and mask wearing.

If the WHO employed any healthcare workers at all, they must have known that KN 95 or N 95 masks — aka respirators — were necessary for all healthcare workers and front line workers who could find themselves within close proximity of someone who isn’t masked, as well as necessary for anyone else who could come into proximity with someone who isn’t masked.
So the WHO should have said it wouldn’t be prudent — rather than it would be unnecessary — to deprive healthcare workers and front line individuals of masks as a priority before the rest of us.
The WHO should also have recommended the use of N 95 and KN 95 respirator masks only.
But that’s just my 2 cents’ worth.

Re: Trump - a puzzling enigma
That's not what I heard. It was 'masks', not specifically industrial strength medical ones. Lots of people make their own, or wear cloth ones with bees and butterflies on them. You can convert a hankie into a mask in two seconds using a couple of hair ties.commonsense wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 8:38 pmIf you’re thinking that Biden will mandate masks, all I can say is that I don’t things will look any different than with voluntary masking.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 8:02 pmYou do realise that it was WHO that was was saying mask wearing was unnecessary and could be counterproductive don't you?commonsense wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 7:59 pm

Re: Trump - a puzzling enigma
Countries with a higher death rate than the US:
Brazil
Spain
The UK
Peru
Argentina
Italy
Belgium
I won't even bother mentioning the countries with the obviously bullshit stats (you know who you are India and China...)
Yet every night on the mainstream news it says, in hushed tones, that the US is miles ahead of every other country (and it's all Trump's fault). Now fair is fair. That's just plain biased bullshit.

Re: Trump - a puzzling enigma
Those masks will decrease the flow of respiratory droplets both into and out of a person. COVID 19 can be carried by respiratory droplets, but the virus is also (mainly?) air borne of its own doing without being piggybacked on droplets. Viruses are small enough to pass virtually unfiltered through handkerchiefs and similar.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 8:46 pmThat's not what I heard.

N 95 & KN 95’s can be purchased by the general public.

Re: Trump - a puzzling enigma
On second thought, maybe I was wrong when I said Donald Trump is a product of the anti-intellectuals culture. Maybe clever Donald Trump is riding on the willing backs of his MAGA horde.And will continue to spur them on when his physical person has passed on into myth.

This CRAP, btw, is a sea change in the air for the global politico-economic future, not to mention who knows what other affected areas, not exactly unlike Noah’s flood.
