After I've used hand sanitizer. When I step out of my front door, I'm on my property, and I'm walking to my car. I also don't wear one when I'm out on a walk, because it isn't a requirement when you're getting exercise. If I'm going into a situation where I'm going to be entering a public building or otherwise interacting with people, I wear the damn mask. Same for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is young urbanite (hardly a Trump contingent) bar hoppers have more to do with the spread. There are plenty of stupid people with a D next to their name. Who said only Trump??? Did you even read my post? I blamed it mostly on a 15 year campaign to deny and invalidate science. That started long before Trump. And yes I don’t doubt bar hoppers contribute to the problem but in our area many of the non-mask wearers are older white males. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly believe someone would hold back a cure and allow people to die solely because of politics?? You are really that cynical?

That post was directly from Newsom's original tweet listing the counties impacted. He edited the list later and removed Kern. He then posted this tweet explaining it. Now the removal of Kern is getting push back from people replying to this tweet saying it should be on the list. Also the replies make comments about mask wearing in Kern.

My super Trumper friend has had 4 Bypasses and is overweight. He also has a grandson getting chemo for luekemia. We went to a party with 25 people none of whom were wearing masks. Someone already posted the survey on mask use. The state activated the coronavirus surge center it created in Porterville (about midway between Fresno and Bakersfield for those who do not know it) about a week or so ago. It is located at the Porterville Developmental Center (formerly Porterville State Hospital). They activated the first 50 beds out of the 400 potential beds. What I hear is that 15 to 20 patients are currently at the surge center after transfers from area hospitals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead he bumbled incompetently and tried to bully the virus and science. Most governors and world leaders capitalized politically on the virus. Trump has nobody to blame but his own incompetence. Poor... Trump... why did the virus happen to him... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot will use the first sentence as part of the anti-mask campaign. "Why wear a mask? If you are so scared that you wear one, maybe you should stay home". Usually as a response to pro-maskers saying to wear one or stay home. And right now the mask/anti-mask is pretty divided on political party. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan of wearing them, and I doubt the shrillness of the call to wear them is any where near the efficacy of wearing them, but I wear them where required. I think most republicans wear masks. However, there are a few notable exceptions (Trump, Cruz) that contribute to the notion that republicans won't wear them. Silliness....and for no real political gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
