WTH is honestly going to change in regards to covid?I believe the popular MAGA angle is the media will immediately quit focusing on it, we'll just treat it like a "flu season", normalize it, and not sensationalize it on the nightly news.eh I can kinda see that happen TBH

WTH is honestly going to change in regards to covid?Primarily I would hope the CDC, NIH, and FDA have a stronger voice based on science rather if Biden wins. maybe more support for relief which would make winter shutdowns easier to sell But really not much will change IMO.
rural communities are for sure not good at wearing masks. but some people do social distance and wear masks and get sick anyway (because of the community at large sucking).

The visuals don't matter for people that believe it's a hoax.At this point it's talking to a wall with 40% of Americans

Like I was talking to a good friend who's wife is also an ICU nurse (working with covid patients) and he started traveling for work...I mentioned that my biggest concerns are conference rooms, indoor restaurants, and shared cars and he was like "oh I ate inside with the group but we were socially distanced from other tables so all good". He still gets a test after every time he flies but doesn't quite grasp it and I think there's a lot of folks who can't or don't want to comprehend it even if they take it seriously.

Quote from: steve dave on October 29, 2020, 08:01:55 AMrural communities are for sure not good at wearing masks. but some people do social distance and wear masks and get sick anyway (because of the community at large sucking). yeah my mom quit going to church because the priest was like "please wear masks" and at least half of the parishoners were like "eff you". People give you dirty looks if you wear masks and assume you're a Democrat. (I'm assuming this is true, I'm not rough ridin' going to rural kansas any time soon to verify)
