important freedoms for all sometimes require slight adjustments by individuals. That’s not tyranny. That’s responsibility.
This is where I think that the US has "failed". Failed is probably not the correct word, it is not quite that bad - maybe "not done as well as we could have".
Sometimes the good of society has to come before what an individual thinks is best.
What is the good of society is debatable.
Agree, but in the case of virus, I don't think that anyone says that NOT wearing a mask will decrease the intensity of the virus.
It is required in Counties with zero total cases. It is impossible to decrease an intensity of zero.
Zero total identified cases.

If they aren't identified, they don't exist. Falling tree in the forest, etc....
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

You can catch Covid 19 off somebody who is asymptomatic, has had no reason to be tested, and hasn't been identified. That's one of the reasons it spread so quickly.
There is no way to tell whether a county has zero infected people unless you test everybody.
My town currently has had two confirmed cases in the last week. You think that's how many people caught it in the last week?

Tell that to New Zealand
And what is the goal?
-
My goal is to take reasonable precautions against getting sick, and to keep working.
Pretty simple, really.
-
flu
-
What is the goal? Make sure all the beans are counted and accounted then take a decision so that all the beans counted will be there to account for in future accounting. Seems like an accountable goal regardless of how unreasonable it is.
Not convinced there needs to be a goal other than not crater the health care system.

Dr. Fauci at the ball game
Apparently it is real
Yeah. Presumably the woman to his left is his wife, so she should be totally safe in terms of risk.
He said the guy to his right was "a close friend."
OK, "close friend," tell us about your potential exposure...

I thought that we can't all be cooped up and need to get back to our lives? I thought staying at home was tyranny?
Please love yourself.

He is. And it's weird that in that news story, Fauci seems to not practice what he preaches. That seems crappy. But I'm an advocate of masks in public. Those who aren't but still criticize Fauci sound like bigger hypocrites than Fauci does.

No, no. His assholery predates Covid by decades.
Well, on that point, you're right....
Yeah, but crapping on him for every thing in the world gets old. And loses any effectiveness....Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!...Well, y'all get the drift...
-
It’s always something.

@jon-nyc said in American Response to the Pandemic:
Wolf, my ass. I crap on him all the time because he’s a walking toilet.
Well, the toilet has a helluva lot more on the ball than the drooling racketeer the Dems are nominating, wouldn't you say?

You mean you support a doddering old man for President? A temporary placeholder who will pack it in within the first twenty-four months?
The same guy who illegally strong-armed the Ukrainian government, used influence peddling to make his son rich on Chinese money and used the FBI to illegally spy on an opposing political candidate?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

That statement makes the Ukrainian government sound like a victim. It is not, despite the fact it likes to present itself as one.
