    But that isn't the government that is an individual business decision. We have government officials insisting you should wear mask in your own home and during a zoom video conference.

    And just because it's outside, do you get to walk around in public with no pants?

    The government has set general public dress codes for over a hundred years.

    It is both the government and the business decision. Businesses cannot overrule the government but they can’t implement their own rules if the government fails to do its job. What officials have asked for citizens to wear masks in their own home?

    Usually I wear shorts, but there are people who for psychological or physiological reasons can't wear masks.

    And there are plenty of delivery services or accommodations that can be made for such people. They have a social responsibility to make concessions on their part as well.

    No he didn't. He merely has said pretty much the same time as Fauci at the same point of time on masks it is the media has decided to use the mask idea to attack Trump. In fact the left stream media has done everything in their power to weaponize the pandemic.

    And most of those charge a fee and carry a minimum dollar amount per order.

    Fauchi has been preaching masks for months, yet Trump still walks around without one and doesn't require Tham at his rallies. Trump sure as hell has politicized mask wearing.

    So they have to plan better. It's called being socially responsible - not being a social jack-ass. If I claim that I have to be naked or I have anxiety attacks - do I get to walk around town naked? No - I don't. Same principle applies. The community has been setting social standards for centuries.

    That isn’t true, even after new guidance was released he still refused to wear or tell his base to do so.

    You believe you do get to walk around naked?
    Strange. I don’t see that working out well for you. Public indecency charges are pretty severe in some places

    Nonsense. He has frequently said you should follow whatever guide lines are present in your state.

    I can only pray that Trump loses and we get a chance for some competent leadership and respect for science back into the institutions that rely on them, like the FDA and the CDC. The way people are twisting this "revelation" goes beyond just mere ignorance. It's purposeful willful stupidity.

    Nonsense. The problem isn't lack of planning it's storage capacity

    When it comes to the issue of virus deaths, I can't find anything which gives the number of people who died only from COVID. There are plenty of stats about how many died with COVID combined with other serious illnesses, like influenza, pneumonia, heart disease and such.

    I'd like to know how many otherwise healthy people with no other serious health issues have died from this virus. I suspect the number is very low.

    That's not going to happen if Biden wins.

    If Biden wins.everyone better hope that the Democrats don't take control of the legislative branch. If that happens we're all screwed. Even liberals and they won't have anyone to blame, but they'll try anyway.

    If Biden wins you'd better start looking for a new life in Canada .... or somewhere.

    And Herman Cain is at least one confirmed casualty of it.

    There's a much better chance of that happening with Biden than there has been or will be with Trump. Trump's the one in charge right now and look what's happening. Even he gets up on stage and spouts anti-science nonsense.
