The Coronavirus thread

Considering the sacrifices Americans made during various wars, resistance to mask wearing makes people look like feckless weenies.

Quote: AZDuffman

Americans are tired of the masks.

No they’re not. You’ve been saying this since March and it’s never ever been backed up with any evidence. Because poll after poll shows the vast majority of Americans are pro-mask.

It’s the “loud minority” of beta males and Karens who are tired of the masks.

I agree with AZDuffman. I think most people are tired of wearing masks but think it is better than the alternative. What percentage of people will continue wearing masks daily after the Covid threat is over?

I agree
If anything
I am seeing a higher % of people wearing masks as I have traveled through the country
What really surprises me is all the mask wearing outside
Most people are really serious about avoiding this virus
Tourist areas such as art galleries on Canyon Rd, 90% wearing mask outside covering nose and mouth
9% mask down outside, 1% no mask
Its really shocking so out of touch Trump is regarding the virus and the America people
3 weeks away and he is dismissive of the virus while the clear majority of the country including many conservatives are taking this virus seriously,
Its almost as if Trump is throwing the election

I always had a change jar. In years past I've turned it in and made house payments, or trips to Reno. It hasn't seen much action in several years now. Yesterday my wife went to our bank to get a notarized signature, she took our change jar in.

It seems like years ago all banks had a change counting rolling machine? Then fewer had them. Then I see the coinstar machines that charge people 10% to roll their coin.

The way this bank works it now is, they give the account 50.00 credit right away and when it gets turned into rolls sometime later on [ not by today] they put that amount into our account. Banks have less purpose than they used to.

IIRC you don't bank much. How do you get things notarized?

Haven't had anything to notarize
in 20 years.

A 25 yr old patient in Nevada was infected with two different strains of the virus in less than two months.

Previous exposure to Covid-19 did not prevent infection by the second strain. If this is true, a vaccine may not offer protection against other strains.

"Genetic discordance of the two SARS-CoV-2 specimens was greater than could be accounted for by short-term in vivo evolution. These findings suggest that the patient was infected by SARS-CoV-2 on two separate occasions by a genetically distinct virus."

"The second infection was symptomatically more severe than the first."

Very, very few. I don't know many people who do not hate the things. All you have to do is notice how fast people take them off when they sit down at a restaurant.

Something very strange is going on.
This is from the NYT today:

Experts Confident Pandemic To Be Over ‘Far Sooner’ Than Expected, Trump Efforts ‘Working With Remarkable Efficiency’

The NYT is praising Trump
to the heavens 3 weeks
from the election and by
doing so shooting Biden in
the back. Biden's whole
campaign is the virus will
kill us all if Biden doesn't
win.

Why is the Times doing this,
why are they
all of a sudden anti Biden.
What do they know that
we don't about Biden.
