When it comes to Covid, best is to cut the authorities some slack. To begin with, the disease was thrust upon us with very little warning. And the disease proved to be quite fatal initially which causes fear and confusion. Under the circumstances, the medical and scientific community has performed an amazing job of developing vaccines.

Medicine is not an exact science. And Trumpers have made it a lot more difficult than it was needed to be. So best is to comply and not question the logic or the justification.

A month ago I got carded for buying Clausthaler non-alcoholic beer (because technically there cannot be a 0% beer) since the store had a strict age verification policy.

In my years on this planet was lucky to have figured out early. That an attractive looking person can become less so the longer known, with the opposite also being very true for the unattractive looking. They can become more appealing the longer exposed to, knowing the person.

The inner soul having an greater effect on perception.

My guess on both of the before mention Ladies. The amount of time to gain new insights into their overall appearances would be rather quick.

Don't know if it really slowed the overall growth of fascism. True, some fewer potential fascists, but most remain and they feel all the more traumatized by reality....

Just pointing out that the 'data' is now politicized, when generally people claim Covid is indiscriminate in who it attacks.

Broadly, Covid has been politicized from the git go.
There has been a mass of claims and counter claims.
Riding on this is some lack of trust because of the big money involved.

The virus is indiscriminate, it goes where it goes, lands where it lands, and doesn't care who. A mucus membrane is a mucus membrane to it.

Whether it is blocked by a mask is a factor under human control. An immune response can be boosted, likewise, by measures under human control. So discriminating factors can be introduced, or not, into the equation. Their effect can be measured. The effects reported may be 'politicized data,' but it's plausible to me that they are real effects produced by human decisions, and it's the decisions that are politicized.

Exactly. From the article;

RED STATE, BLUE STATE

The map of states with the most preventable deaths shows a sharp political divide – as NPR has reported, people living in counties that voted for then-President Trump in the 2020 election were three times more likely to die from COVID-19 than people who lived in counties that voted for President Biden.

It makes it look like there is a geographical barrier to the virus, when this can't be true.
