What percentage of the people do you think do not wear a mask?

Not long ago in Lufkin Tx I was the only one wearing a mask.
Bought gas, bought food, stopped at a home depot...every non-employee was maskless.


Stopped in a sandwich place in southern IN.

1/3 of the customers walking in were wearing masks...I could go on and on.

Notice that the places where no one wears a mask are also the places with few cases? is that a coincidence?

I would do whatever the health experts recommend. The head of the CDC says if everyone wore a mask we could have the virus under control in 2-3 months, so if I was in charge I would make mask wearing mandatory for the next few months, then reassess where we are

What would you do when the experts dont agree?

Where are the problems at? In the cities and metro areas. How many do you see in Chicago without a mask? Very few if any. Same thing here, very few without one.

not really.

Chicago been consistently at 5% or less positivity rate since the beginning of summer. Cook county been pretty much the lowest numbers in the state for some time. When you see Illinois increases it's coming from way south down state. Chicago earned their herd immunity with riots, and holiday parties, now the Mexican's are making sure to double down on their immunity with a 5 day long independence celebration

basically we just need to let this run it's course in the bread basket of America. Down there in the Tenn and Missouri area

you could draw a circle a couple hundred miles in diameter and have 75% of the "hot" counties in America that includes OK, MO, AK, TN, IN, IL. Throw in some of Iowa and that's a big chunk of it.

Judging by other countries, I agree with you, it just has to run it’s course.

Look at any chart of any city, state, or nation that implements mask laws, you cant tell anything changes. It's almost always the same pattern, cases are rising, they panic and require masks, cases continue to rise, until they peak(which takes 5-6-7 weeks), then they begin to fall.

What you see is a natural progression of disease as occurs in all pandemics, masks have little if any effect.

“All she did was focus on impeachment,” Trump said, referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). “She didn’t focus on anything having to do with pandemics, she didn’t focus on — she focused on impeachment and she lost. And she looked like a fool.”

  • January 11: Chinese state media report the first known death from an illness originating in the Wuhan market.
  • January 15: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) holds a vote to send articles of impeachment to the Senate. Pelosi and House Democrats celebrate the “solemn” occasion with a signing ceremony, using commemorative pens. That same day, the first person with coronavirus in the United States arrives from China, where he had been in Wuhan.
  • January 21: The first American case of coronavirus is confirmed at a clinic in Snohomish County, Washington.
  • January 23: The House impeachment managers make their opening arguments for removing President Trump.
  • January 23: China closes off the city of Wuhan completely to slow the spread of coronavirus to the rest of China.
  • January 27: The White House convenes a special task force to deal with the emerging threat of coronavirus.
  • January 29: The president chairs a meeting of the White House coronavirus task force for the first time.
  • January 30: Senators begin asking two days of questions of both sides in the president’s impeachment trial.
  • January 30: The World Health Organization declares a global health emergency as coronavirus continues to spread.
  • January 31: The Senate holds a vote on whether to allow further witnesses and documents in the impeachment trial.
  • January 31: President Trump declares a national health emergency and imposes a ban on travel to and from China. Former Vice President Joe Biden calls Trump’s decision “hysterical xenophobia … and fear-mongering.”
  • February 2: The first death from coronavirus outside China is reported in the Philippines.
  • February 3: House impeachment managers begin closing arguments, calling Trump a threat to national security.
  • February 4: President Trump talks about coronavirus in his State of the Union address; Pelosi rips up every page.
  • February 5: The Senate votes to acquit President Trump on both articles of impeachment, 52-48 and 53-47.
  • February 5: House Democrats finally take up coronavirus in the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia.
For twenty days, from the day the first death from coronavirus was known, Democrats did nothing about it. They were too busy with the president’s impeachment trial — a trial Pelosi had delayed unnecessarily for several weeks.

The media really thinks the drip, drip, drip of smears will chip away at Trump, they've learned nothing.
