(Let me ask this question first: How can you show any respect for a person that recklessly and deliberately sets out to harm you or your family by the refusal to take a simple and cheap health precaution? I'll answer:You can't. That is like speeding down quiet suburban streets with your lights off ...on Halloween.)

(If Trump could show some leadership and take his eyes off TV even for a few minutes and mandate wearing face masks, we might be able to salvage the economy and thousands of lives.) “Mask mandates delay the need for re-imposing closures of businesses and have huge economic benefits. Moreover, those who refuse masks are putting their lives, their families, their friends, and their communities at risk.” So said IHME Director Dr. Christopher. (I know what some of you are thinking: “He's an expert, what does he know?”)

A new model by the University of Washington is projecting more than 200,000 U.S. c****av***s deaths by November, though it says it’s not too late to take a simple step that could save tens of thousands of lives.
The latest projection by the university’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation shows the U.S. death toll hitting at least 208,255 by Nov. 1, if current conditions hold up. However, that total drops to 162,808 if 95% of the population wears a face mask, researchers said.

To date, the U.S. has logged about 132,000 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

Without new national mask requirements, the IHME found c****av***s deaths are likely to significantly increase starting in mid- to late September, as seasonal flu season begins.

What the selfish pricks who refuse to wear masks don’t realize is that they are going to cause the economy to be shut down again which is what they claim they want to avoid. It is already happening in Arizona and Texas.

Your cure for the Chink v***s

He appears to have missed; he is still posting his brainless drivel.

Where can I got one of those magical 45,000 masks. And if they are so magical, why not 8,000,000,000 for everyone on earth.

As usual, your numbers are all B. S. and so is your theory.

rumitoid

If you looked online there are masks enough for all Americans, even you. Not magical but simply a way too possibly slow infections. No cure.

ImLogicallyRight

As usual with your types it is your made up B, S, numbers. It may save some lives and it may not. And this whole lock down is also costing lives. And wearing masks in and of themselves is not healthy accept in the very rare case where it might stop you from spreading the v***s if you have it or anything else, and even less your chance of catching anything else yourself. Meanwhile they are unhealthy especially by yourself. Fact.

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Unlike previous v***l and bacterial p******cs with much higher mortality rates, C****-** is relatively tame.

For example, Septicemic plague is one of three bacterial plagues that k**l 100% of untreated cases - men, women and children. This is the bacteria that wiped out almost 50% of the European population in 1347. Fortunately, medical science has advanced exponentially over the past 7 centuries. Today, Septicemic plagues are nipped in the bud.

C****-** is currently fatal to around 4% of those infected, and those are people most vulnerable to respiratory infections or with health conditions that hinder oxygen assimilation. Healthy adults and especially healthy children with robust i****e s****ms and no pre-existing respiratory ailments are naturally protected from the ravages of C****-**.

Currently, C***d has infected 0.1% of the world population and has k**led 0.007%. IOW, C***d is not as deadly as we are being told. So, if, in the past 6 months, C***d has thus far k**led 500,000 people world wide (tragic, of course), who is telling us C****-** is an unprecedented health crisis and why?

The answer is obvious.

The mandates assume that everyone is susceptible and threaten everyone with penalties for non-compliance regardless of susceptibility therefore everyone must protect themselves and others by wearing a mask and maintaining an arbitrary "social distance" of 6 feet (airborne C***d can travel as far as 20 feet in a light breeze such as that from an A/C system.)

The mandates are politically motivated. Fear mongering and media hype are forcing everyone into believing they are victims - where have we heard that before - yet the mandates didn't end with just requiring masks and social distances. The damage politicization of C****-** has done to the American people extends far beyond reason and common sense and even beyond any scientific or medical solution to the problem. The economic consequences of masks, distancing, quarantines, lock downs and stay-at-home orders far exceed those of the C***d threat.

As always happens when a "crisis" like this is politicized, the door opens wide to unintended consequences.

. . . . the fashion industry has capitalised on the crisis by turning their factories into mask and PPE-making facilities. As previously seen during the bushfire crisis, designer brands are turning a profit from face-masks, with those from higher-end brands selling for just under $US200 and on ebay for upwards of $US250. These masks are manufactured under the same exploitative conditions as other products of the garment industry, with women and girls in developing societies often working under s***e-like conditions. Only a few weeks ago, workers in factories making clothes for Zara and Primark in Myanmar were fired after forming unions — the reason management gave was related C****-** austerity measures.

At the other end of the market, many small businesses and newly unemployed workers have begun to sew facial masks in an attempt to survive the economic recession, while some community organisations are making masks to give away to those on low-incomes.

Email s**mmers are bombarding low-income elderly with all kinds of "miracle" preventions and cures. For a price.

By no means is this the end of it. Face coverings afford the individual with public anonymity and criminals are capitalizing on it. Remember the Wild West bandidos? They weren't wearing masks to keep out dust or prevent v***l infections, they wore them to make identification more difficult.

C****av***s Masks a Boon for Crooks Who Hide Their Faces

"There's a troubling new reality for law enforcement in the age of the c****av***s."

These days, they can keep the masks on and blend in easily with or without being “captured” in images.

“The video is much less useful if we are unable to see a face,” said Carlos Marquez, a detective division commander in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, in an email.

It's leaving law enforcement without a crucial crime-solving tool.
