Chamale posted:Are the non-reuseable paper masks better or worse than a cloth mask that I wash every time I go out? Is there even a significant difference? It depends on the fabric. Tight weave heavy weight cotton at least 2 layers thick is a little better than a disposable surgical mask. Polyester and stretchy t-shirt fabric are not great. https://newsroom.wakehealth.edu/News-Releases/2020/04/Testing-Shows-Type-of-Cloth-Used-in-Homemade-Masks-Makes-a-Difference Both help, and the best mask is the one you'll actually wear reliably, so pick one that is comfortable and affordable for you and don't worry that a different choice might be 2% better.

This could be pretty good for the left. All they need to do is put more effort into educating their own, buying and distributing ppe, sanitiser, etc to the elderly and in disenfrachised communities and letting the right/conservatives/Trumpites kill themselves. Surely they still have the DSA call lists and Bernie sign up lists and such. Start there.

Remember how the chuds have been crowing about the death rate continually dropping off even though everyone else tried to tell them that it lags a few weeks behind the infection rate?

My mom went back to work, presumably at the same nursing home after catching it there and barely surviving. She said it's because she hasn't been paid in 3 months, and sent me a picture of her wearing a kn95 under a surgical mask and a face shield :/ I'm worried again. I assumed she would try to coast to social security age. Sure hope those antibodies last.

Cough Drop The Beat posted:It's far too late for anything to matter because our dumbass state opened up everything from restaurants to bars to zoos to offices far too early. Maybe if DeWine didn't arbitrarily kill the lockdown order back in May then maybe we wouldn't be totally hosed!! Something changed almost over night back in May. DeWine was not ready to talk about much re-opening and then all the sudden he basically threw up his hands . I really suspect our Bigly boy president made credible threats of withdrawing funding to the state

Love speculating how a deadly pandemic is good for my political party Hey did you know that the mortality rate for coronavirus among minorities is catastrophically higher than among white people? Maybe put that onto your white board (or let's face it, your Etch A Sketch) before you start thinking that it's only MAGA chuds that are getting killed.

I don't think he cares about politics and and probably wont be running for a 2nd term. The way I hear it is the Lt Gov dropped out of the primaries to join DeWine with a promise of him getting the next election. But it was def big daddy threatening him with witholding money.

There were a few weeks where Trump kept repeating "the cure cannot be worse than the disease" and I 100% believe it's because he got the swab up his nose and it traumatized him so much he decided in that moment to just give up on having any kind of response at all to this.

They're opening schools here in September with the very hilarious plan of "just use the bubble system" which would be fine if a bubble didn't mean literally 250 kids. Yes, so long as you stay in your bubble with 250 other families it will aaaaaall be fine.

Aren't those all demon-worshipping bankrupt socialist hellhole countries? Make up your mind Donny. Seriously what's up with his handlers' recent narrative push for school reopening? He doesn't give a gently caress about education. edit: never mind, found an NYT article. Of course it's about the economy crashing and hurting his reelection chances because god forbid parents stay home with their kids instead of hurling themselves into the bloody cogs of the economy for papa orange Hazo fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Jul 8, 2020 |

Best part of that article: quote:In mounting their pressure campaign, administration officials pointed to guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics and other research suggesting that the risks of the virus to children are much lower than for older Americans while the benefits of being physically present in school are critical. You know what else has lasting effects on kids? Having their friends and teachers disappear because they loving died.

Make up your mind Donny. its more of the positive thinking/denial of reality also might have to do with the college loan bubble. at my school they are trying to do classes online for stuff like sculpture, pottery, etc, everything that requires access to tools and studio equipment, and students can only access the studio to drop off/pick up their projects.
