    Trump, masks 'they're not for me'...

    Probably not the best person to be President at the moment. Bizarrely his ratings are up.
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...d-trump-latest
    The CDC issued new recommendations for people to wear masks or face coverings while in public. The president undermined the guidelines almost immediately after announcing them, insisting that he wouldn’t wear masks because “they’re not for me”.
    People are surprised I understand this stuff...

    And this one where he blames Obama for not having working tests. He's quite probably the world's most dangerous man right now.

    Would you want to be associated with a model that was predicting 2.2 million people were going to die in America, which led to the shuttering of the global economy?

    Ah yes the alt right line. ‘Let’s get the economy going, f**l people’s health even though it will cost us more by ruining health care systems as long as our beloved right wing billionaires get their share prices back up’

    Ah, so it's all an alt right conspiracy theory and the global economy is actually in great shape, and will be fine moving forward. Thanks for this excellent news, and for putting everybody's mind at ease

    At his White House press conferences, all the reporters and journalists are social distancing, whilst behind him all his experts are usually standing shoulder to shoulder.
    Unbelievable.

    He'll get back to you in a while when his lot have come up with something they've agreed upon, so you may have a long wait because the alt right conspiracy crowd have had a dreadful time of it when it comes to Covid 19.

    He wants to be seen as "leading" and well-liked so the people in the background are photo fodder to feed Trump's naricism. A narcissistic psychopath who rules by fiction. How long before he declares himself eternal leader and insists on having a giant statue of himself built, at which the gullible gun-toters can pay homage?

    Out of interest, has the CDC actually conducted a study into the effectiveness of wearing masks to prevent being infected? Or, is their guidance based on the principal that we are all asymptomatic and so should wear masks to prevent passing on the infection?

    My issue with masks is that it gives people a false sense of security, they are not cleaned properly, and people just think "I have this on, now I am OK". It's like those selfish idiots who dump their gloves in trolleys after shopping, so that the next customer has to remove them.

    The debate on the effectiveness of wearing mask has been on going for 15 plus years , in Asia its seen as a normal thing , some wear them in large polluted cities or on crowded public transportation .

    Many renowned scientists have claimed there is no evidence to suggest their effectiveness.

    I do wonder if they are a form of psychological comfort blanket ?

    You could argue though if a person had a flu type virus that may contain it , if it the right mask .??

    Who knows , neither experts, the Trump , or you and I don't.

    My gut feeling , if asks worked there would be evidence of less flu type viruses in Asia where they have always been worn , and thats appears not to be the case .

    I think the point is that, at a conference to advise everyone to wear masks, trump says oh no, I'm not gonna wear one, of course not.

    Also, wearing a mask for pollution and a mask for a virus is not quite the same thing.

    I find it very hard to watch him without wanting to smash his face in.

    Trump may not want one, but the rest of the yanks do

    Wow, just wow is, I believe, the current vernacular for expressing disbelief. That's quite frightening.

    When I finished watching it, I was asked if I wanted to watch it again - once was more than enough, how are they so certain about a virus which, seemingly, did not exist until five months ago?

    They are not just stupid, pathetic, hypocritical, lying, propagandists for Trump and Trumpism - promoting everything that has made this pandemic so deadly - they are the go to source of (usually false) information for a very large % of Americans. Terrifying!
