also, you're again stuck on early material, assuming people aren't allowed to improve and revise their advice--that actual humans are incapable of learning.
"CNN ran an article saying that wearing a mask can increase your chances of getting covid." Yes, I'm sure they did. You know what, that was probably found everywhere. You know what? I know I mentioned this early on in February as well.
Do you even know what the argument was, or is it just "CNN said bad thing first therefore always is bad thing that is said and believed." I am sure this is how your brain works. I mean, there is no question. That is literally how you think.
The argument is that when people wear masks, especially the ave. American that is completely unused to this on a regular basis, they both aren't going to know how to wear it (false confidence can lead to worse habits) and also increase frequency of unconscious tics that will make things worse--constantly touching face to adjust mask at nose, rub eyes, etc. Yes, it very well can increase your exposure in sensitive areas, just from wearing the mask. This isn't about covid--this argument is based on decades of these kind of studies, tons and tons of data regarding respiratory infections. It's not "about covid." It's about what is actually known about masks.
Also, the cautionary advice against masks is in light of recognizing that our national supply was preposterously low. Why is that? Well, fucking Trump is why. His admin's duty (HIS DUTY) was to keep the national stock up to date and resupplied. It is not that "Obama removed the supply!" That is what you do when you have a normal schedule to restock. You see, you are supposed to restock. Fucks like you argue that business people are brilliant, because they think they need to run on a tight budget, never fucking plan for anything, supplies are simply waste! this is what is one of the many broken things about the conservative brain, and how they don't fucking understand how government needs to work, and it's simplest, base duties. When Trump refused to restock the national supply "because it's waste!" well, guess what the fuck happens when it's needed, dumbass?
HHS confirms that 90% of the personal protective equipment in the stockpile has been distributed to state and local governments. The Trump administration announced that it will restrict the export of certain face masks and gloves for four months in an effort to make sure U.S. health care workers...

Trump ignored warnings for months about the oncoming pandemic (yes, this was known back in
November). He failed to prepare, and all of the data is there to support that his is only, and everything, the complete fault of Trump and his titanic, easily-predictable ineptitude at
running anything. The guy has been nothing but a consistent failure in life, at every single fucking business that he has tried to start on his own. Every single one--which, if they weren't an outright fraud, they were just a complete fucking failure. This isn't disputable--it's completely true. So, you know, to figure that the guy that couldn't succeed at a single idea that he ever had in life (beyond steal that other guy's money and sue him until he shuts up!) is somehow capable of leading the United States, is to be the dumbest mother fucking version of a human, ever.
Ever. You have to literally be dumber that the minimum threshold on any intelligence scale that humans had ever devised, to have both voted for Trump in 2016 with everything that was thoroughly known about him, and to continue to support him during the consistently available, indisputable, daily evidence of his complete failure at everything that life gives anyone a chance "to do."
You're right from the other thread: 100 years from now, humanity will look back at us with disgust, and it will be that Trump and Boris and Bolsonaro and all the other eastern European fascist rightwingers were allowed to capture the brains of plain idiots during these years, and set all of humanity back at least 2 generations.
Consider what's happened to the children right now, essentially missing nearly 2 solid years of mental and intellectual development, ALL because pudding brains such as yourself "got their feelings hurt!" when black man was president. That is it. That is how history will define this era. It isn't anything but. You are an embarrassment, and you are a stain on humanity. You will not be remembered with reverence, but with the same type of disgust as rabid slave-holding zealots in the south and apathetic but sympathetic bedwetting Germans that just let the Nazis roll through Europe and exterminate millions, all because "your feelings were hurts." Hell, at least Germans had the excuse of literal poverty and historic, nation-killing depression. The US during the Obama years was essentially better than it had been over the previous 20 years--also not in dispute by any economic measure. But you believe something else, and nothing like the actual truth of the world will compete with "your belief," therefore your contemptible desire to destroy Western Democracy is defensible, in your tiny pudding brain.
