Please do not assume that I do not have folks who have died due to COVID in my family or have not been affected by the death of parents of my friends.
Having folks who died by COVID still doesn't make us experts on COVID... or give us the moral high ground to berate others.
I have done no such thing.
As previously state, I have asked you to please understand that this isn't a topic to try to get points on to "own" people you consider internet adversaries and that there are real people behind these posts.
Once again, you wrote:
The real trouble is that because of mixed messages from leaders...An example of this is that De Blasio (etc) is saying wear masks when social distancing is impossible.
I've asked three times, what mixed messages from leaders are you referring to? And which leaders?
Ok.
The major mixed message (Cuomo, De Blasio) is TO WEAR MASKS WHEN 6 FEET SOCIAL DISTANCING is not possible.
In other words, TO NOT WEAR MASKS WHEN 6 FEET SOCIAL DISTANCING is possible.
Meanwhile, folks are yelling to wear a mask...even when 6 feet social distancing is present.
These are definitely mixed messages.
As for Pence and Trump, who are our leaders, after all, whether we like it or not, their messages concerning masks are ALWAYS confusing.
In this neighborhood I have been yelled at twice.
Once, a person yelled at me for WEARING a mask, hissing that didn't I know masks don't work?
Another time, my mask had slipped and a passerby yelled to fasten it. Tho at least 6 feet was definitely the distance between me and anyone else.
My take is that these two random angry folks...and no doubt both consider themselves EXPERTS...should be placed in a room to duke it out.
And leave me out of it.
