    Just because they wear masks doesn't mean the numbers are legitimate. Separate subjects. You continue to want to have an argument about something i didn't reference

    Just because China is communist doesn't mean they are illegitimate. Other Asian countries which are not communist are also reporting very few deaths now. Why? Because of the masks. Masks are germane to this discussion because you are trying to tie a result to communism versus the more obvious reason - masks.

    What if there were less infected people that go back to their “houses” in the first place because people were a little more cautious and considerate !!! Oh my gwoshhh!!!

    Trump is an egotistical moron that made huge monumentally wrong decision after wrong decision. Leading his most ardent supporters down such an idiotic path that it led to this being way waay worse than this had to be.

    the US' results are on par with many Western European countries (deaths per capita).

    I am in favor of wearing masks.

    Death rate in the US declining rapidly, and is at the LOW END of what was forecasted. By any objective measure, that's a great outcome.

    A vaccine on the way, therapeutics emerging, testing leading the world, and our economy is roaring. Thank you President Trump for your leadership. And no thanks to the Democratic governors who killed so many nursing home patients (Cuomo, Whitmer, Murphy, Wolf, Newsome). If you adjust for Democratic politician incompetence, USA COVID deaths would be FAR lower.

    Does someone have a gom jabar for you people?

    There are medications that might help that mental illness of yours. They're called intelligence, common sense, decency, humanity. But don't take too much at once. We'll think someone hijacked your username.

    Trump did nothing so that he could do what you're doing: project his own failures onto blue state governors (although the virus has somehow, magically, managed to kill Republicans and Democrats and everyone in between).

    But trolls gotta troll.

    Im not trying to say anything about masks. Im saying something about China's death toll number

    I didint say China is illegitimate because they're communist. Do you trust everything their government says?

    If you want to argue about China's numbers being legit fine, if you want to argue about masks go find a mofo who is anti mask

    I am not saying they are legit or not. I am saying that because other countries are getting the same result with masks their numbers are plausible.

    Because our ****ING MORON of a President has decided to tell all the DUMB and IGNORANT people here that masks are a sign of weakness and even though the virus is killing nearly 1k per day, that it is ok, and going away.

    And the STUPID ****S believe him.

    The psychological impact of wearing masks is that it creates fear of the virus. Fear in people will delay the return to normalcy for society. For healthy people, the survival rate of the virus is well over 99.99%. And that's if you even get COVID in the first place. The negative effects of not restarting the economy (mental health, suicides, depression, job loss, food insecurity), FAR outweigh the positive effects of healthy people wearing masks. And THAT is why asking healthy, asymptomatic people to wear masks is stupid. The negatives outweigh the positives. Most liberals and mask nannies haven't thought things through to this level of detail. This is where it's important to listen to your intellectual superior - in this case, me.

    The vulnerable should continue to take precautionary measures, but the healthy should return to normal life.

    Thousands upon thousands of Muslims celebrating 9/11 on the streets of Jersey city.

    Migrant caravans invading America

    Anarchist American cities

    Poor people invading the suburbs

    I'm seeing a trend here where the president loves spreading panic so something is off with this narrative of him not wanting to in this particular case.

    Agree?

    What a load of crap.

    Who has more mental health, suicides, depressions, job loss, food securities issues these days, USA or New Zealand?

    So you don't wear masks? Kinda putting your house and wherever you work at risk but whatever happens happens.

    Please host more covid parties to help save the economy!
