When you wish upon a star learn to live with it where you are.
Every time you step out the door of your home you are "gambling with your life". That is why some people are afraid to ever leave the house. We even have a name for it - agoraphobia.

Some are just more risk averse than others. Different people have different risk tolerance levels.

That in no way negates the fact that it is the opinion of the medical community that masks are a primary tool in combatting COVID. I’m not sure why you right-wingers would want to claim otherwise.
Then again, you also “do no believe in” manmade global warming and many actually “don’t believe in” evolution.
It just goes to show once again that it is the low IQ population that makes up a very great majority of Trunpublicans.

The insane resistance to individual protective measures like masks, as well as the pernicious influence of oligarchical interests who are willing to sacrifice workers rather than support them in lockdown, is why the US line on this chart is what it is. Look at the Japan line. In Japan everyone wears masks.

Sounds like Japan has limited testing to people who are symptomatic. Unlike here in the US where testing has gone up like crazy. Japan isn't testing any random person who wants a test.

Here in the US were not getting proper info from the mainstream media. All we hear about is positive test supposedly found each day. Don't get the info that the death rate has gone way down and don't say how many positive tests are asymptomatic or if they show antibodies (which means they already had it and didn't know).

So maybe Japan has way more cases then we know.

If that rate of cases goes up faster than the rate of testing, it's not just 'more cases because of more testing.' That is what has happened here.

Ok I'll jump in on this. No I don't believe in manmade global warming, pollution is a different thing but that's just my opinion.

As far as evolution yeah not sure. I do believe there is a higher power but not totally sure what it is. It's funny you had to throw that in. You can believe the scientist if ya want but I don't think the entire theory is sound. They go by carbon dating which started less then 100 years ago. So based on that 100 years of trial based on how many trillions of years they say the earth has been around? Ya cant totally agree. BUT what happens if both are correct. Where did we come from? What was the first thing? Where did that first thing come from? What started evolution? What started god?

The true question is WHERE DID THE FIRST THING COME FROM?

Yes, that is "just" your opinion because the scientific fact is that there is indeed manmade global warming and the scientific evidence for that is overwhelming. There is simply no debate about it in the mainstream scientific community.

"The true question is WHERE DID THE FIRST THING COME FROM? "
Exactly, and that is why scientists continue their quest to try to understand the universe, which is quite a task given our relatively puny brainpower.

“THEY’RE SAYING, ‘WE’D LIKE TO SEE BIDEN CRUSH TRUMP’”: FOR SOME ON WALL STREET BEATING TRUMP IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MONEY

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020...on-wall-street

Quote:
Most of Wall Street, it seems, is happily preparing for a Joe Biden victory in November. “The majority of my friends on Wall Street would like to see Trump lose to Biden,” one very senior investment banker tells me. “They’re saying, ‘We’d like to see Biden crush Trump.’”
Donny is toast.
