    That is stupid of them. What are people in the States supposed to do?
    Stay out of Canada and Britain. Obviously.

    And also take the pandemic seriously.

    Define "herd immunity" as you're using the term.

      It is so ignorant and manipulative to say that the Americans have not be taking this seriously. The advocates of that position about the perceived seriousness means that the manipulators place a guilt trip on the American people. In this fashion, the governors don't take responsibility for making half-butt laws that have no effect on the virus. This is followed by excessive testing of healthy people which shows bunches of positive "cases" -- often counting the same person every time he or she has had a test done or has been to the hospital. So, we just have useless counts of cases that merely increase because more tests are done.

      Most likely the social distancing and masks fail to have any benefit. The number of cases fails to have any scientific or epidemiological significance. Therefore, everything the government and media have done are nonsensical. And it is evil to blame the people for the stupidity of the government policies.

      The people have mostly adhered to the gubernatorial edicts. So the people are not guilty of any failings. In fact, most people are scared of the bogeyman, such that they have stayed quarantined as much as practical.

      If people want to take the pandemic seriously, they need to do the healthy tasks of good diet and exercise. They should take HCQ and Zinc supplements. Healthy people do not become deathly sick from coronavirus.

        The world is not coming to an end, but yes tha pandemic is documented spreading among those that do not social distence and wear a mask.


        Thanks for again pointing out how stupid the media is. The media idea of wearing of masks was to keep you from spreading coronavirus if you had it. But we are smart enough to remember that fact.
        You are apparently not smart enough that you accept the word of the Looney Bins Doctor and her 12 disciple doctors that believe in demons and breading with aliens,

          Congressman Louie Gohmert tests positive for coronavirus

          BY GRACE SEGERS, FIN GOMEZ

          Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert has tested positive for coronavirus. The Texas Republican has not been wearing a mask inside the U.S. Capitol, flouting safety guidelines.


          Gohmert was supposed to fly to Texas with President Trump on Wednesday, but tested positive for the virus during a pre-screening at the White House, several administration sources confirmed to CBS News. Politico first reported Gohmert's diagnosis.

          In an interview with NBC affiliate KETK-TV, Gohmert said that he had not exhibited any symptoms of coronavirus.

          "It's really ironic, because a lot of people have made a big deal of my not wearing a mask a whole lot, but in the last week or two I have worn a mask more" than he has in recent months, Gohmert said. He suggested that keeping a mask on "might have put some germs and some of the virus on the mask and breathed it in."

          "I don't know where it came from, but apparently I have it," Gohmert said. He added that he would quarantine at home for 10 days.

          Gohmert told CNN in June that he was not wearing a mask because he was frequently tested for the virus but said that if he contracted it "you'll never see me without a mask." Many members of Congress, mostly Republicans, have refused to wear a mask while in the Capitol.

          Could have been the mask, who knows.

          But it does go to show that if you are vocally anti-mask or this is all fake, it's best not to get the chi-corona. You'll look silly.

            And now Fauci the Fraud is suggesting requiring goggles and face shields. At this rate, he'll be suggesting full hazmat suits by Christmas.

              As a country, we have not taken the pandemic seriously. We didn't put enough emphasis on increasing availability of PPE and tests, we didn't shut down early enough or long enough, and we haven't been as careful about social distancing and wearing masks as we should have been. And this can all basically be attributed to having a president who was more concerned about his reelection than he was about people dying.

              Yes, some people in this country have taken the pandemic seriously, but that doesn't make up for the huge number who haven't.

                    As Stoic explained, it links the virus with our current so-called president.

                        That's not true. He is suggesting that people who already have goggles or face shields should wear them if they want the maximum amount of protection from the virus.

                          Yep, it's all getting pretty absurd. Of course Fauci doesn't bother to follow his own advice when he thinks the cameras aren't watching because even he knows how useless cloth masks are.

                            If they're family or people they spend a lot of time around, then a pushed-aside mask is NBD, and especially-so since it appears no one's within 20 yards of them.

                              According to Snopes, he's with his wife and a close friend, and probably lowered his mask to drink from the water bottle shown in the picture. Being outdoors, the risk was probably minimal, even if they had been strangers.
