dummy trump jr test positive for covid 19
Doesn't mean much. They could have went home, wife or kids could have been infected. Fireman goes back to work carrying the infection and infected the crew. So many possibilities. Also wearing a mask doesn't guarantee they won't get infected and unless your wearing an n95 mask with face protection, your more likely to get it than those wearing masks that 90% of the population are using right now.We have about 10% of our "dummy" firefighters here testing positive for C19 they said on the news. I'm sure that they wore masks and distanced whenever possible and still 90 of them got it.

I agree with you. My post was in response of someone calling Trump a dummy. I personally believe that a lot of people infected are innocent victims of this virus as is a lot of people that are unknowingly infecting others. I also believe what you say about the effectiveness of masks which 90% of the people are wearing. What puts an exclamation point on all of this is the health professionals will likely receive the vaccine long before the rest of us which is a testament of high risk and they have the best masks and everything including superior ventillation and sterilization equipment while we have far inferior protection and constantly are barraged by inferences that the "stuff" we do keeps us safe.Doesn't mean much.

Can't wait? What do you mean by that?
Also, not protecting yourself and helping slow the spread to the best of your ability is like a slap in the face to those front line workers who already have enough to deal with. If everyone just followed the advice of the experts we would have gotten through this with a lot fewer deaths.This x1000% jtr. It's the right thing to do. And our duty is much easier than that of the front line workers who put their lives on the line every day for us.
Masks work great when nearly everyone is wearing them. I'm guessing lots of people weren't, hence the infected firefighters. When a large segment of the population chooses to forgo them they still protect the people wearing them, but the overall effect isn't as good. And saying this as someone who does in fact find a mask uncomfortable, I still don't see what's the big deal with wearing one if you're going to be in situations where you're within maybe 10 feet or less of others. You can take it off the rest of the time, although that has the issue of touching your face after you may have touched objects contaminated by the virus. That's why I just leave it on until I get home and wash my hands first.We have about 10% of our "dummy" firefighters here testing positive for C19 they said on the news.

This shows that TREATMENT is more effective, and that a smaller percentage DIE.
