The country’s top infectious disease expert on Wednesday urged the public to comply with mask-wearing requirements as the easing of coronavirus-related restrictions trickles across the country in coming weeks.
I thought he had been disappeared
Yellow ribbon: tool for bludgeoning “unAmerican” liberals.
Masks as a symbol of national unity during this crisis can’t serve a similar purpose, so NOPE.
Birx will have to walk back Fauci’s statement for him, at least so far as it applying to Trump.
One really must wonder if she even realizes what a disservice she’s done the country.
Donnie’s medical degree is from Trump University.
Should have done that at least 6 weeks ago, now may be a another case of pound foolish, being late to the party.
…he views the practice as “sort of respect for another person and have that other person respect you.”
Which is, of course, why Donnie does do it: he doesn’t respect anyone else.
Unfortunately, he’s also been allowed to weasel his way into a position where he doesn’t have to fear them, either.
Yet.
(CNN) Americans are at odds over whether it’s necessary to keep taking coronavirus protective measures, but a leading researcher says the data is clear: The path ahead in the Covid-19 pandemic is being shaped by masks.
“We now have really clear evidence that wearing masks works – it’s probably a 50% protection against transmission,” Dr. Chris Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, or IHME, at the University of Washington, told CNN late Tuesday.
… … …
If wearing a mask is a sign of respect and caring for others ten we have a clear example here that trump, who will not wear a mask, cares not for anyone… even himself
POC who get shot by cops should “just obey and things will be fine”, but these coddled white folk who want to go to the bar need not “obey” mask orders.
Cheating science, cheating history, cheating us, and worse, neglecting and disrespecting the dead.
There is a term I saw in that twitter thread, @ralph_vonholst, that really others me.
“excess death”
To me that belittles what is very painful to the families who have lost loved ones they could not be with in their last moments. No one’s death is “excess”
Symbols don’t work very well if the guy at the top says it’s optional and he’s not going to wear one.
Can’t have one set of rules for the elite and another for the commoners.
Just bury that article and don’t mention it again. The REAL prerequisite is testing, not masks (but obviously with masking going on as well). Do NOT let the GOP/Trump KKKult move the goalposts.
Also, I question the Institute’s motives and accuracy. Per Wikipedia…
" In 2020, IHME published its model projecting deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic in the US which was described as widely influential, and informed guidelines developed by the Trump administration. The model has received heavy criticism from the epidemiological community for being flawed and misleading.[4][5][6][7][8]"
I think she knows exactly what she is doing – sucking up to Trump for a promotion and, after that, a spot on FAUX News.
It is not Russia.
Yet.
Unless you’re a statistician and need to label a data column. If Economics is a dismal science, Statistics is a cold science.
This is the mask notice I have posted at all of the entrances to my company’s buildings. It is a badge of honor.
Fauci is an increasingly weak voice crying in the reopen wilderness.
