The New Normal

. As for anger, I've spent the last 2 years living in this blue state dystopian hellscape. That's two years spent under a set of incredibly arbitrary and heinous rules.

Also, you should be on a Mexican soap opera with this drama queen bullshit.

This is just a lie.

If you had strong points, you wouldn’t have to lie.

Pro-Trump counties now have far higher COVID death rates. Misinformation is to blame

An analysis by NPR shows that since the vaccine rollout, counties that voted heavily for Donald Trump have had more than twice the COVID mortality rates of those that voted for Joe Biden.

The vaccine works. None of the other stuff did shit.

Yes it did. Every place locked down in March of 2020. Every state had mask mandates for a while (some only in the cities). It absolutely helped slow the spread.

Stop lying.

Maybe there was a justification for mask mandates in 2020, but there isn't now.

Maybe think about someone other than yourself for one second. Think about a kid whose mother has cancer, who wants to wear a mask at school, but other kids make fun of him because he’s a “pussy” for wearing a mask (in the absence of a mandate). Think about, I don’t know, someone who has a 14-week old daughter who can’t get vaccinated.

Maybe just once, believe people when they tell you that it isn’t all about you.

I think you are focusing on all the things he still does that he always did. I am focusing on what has changed. If you don't see the difference, not sure what to tell you, you don't see it.

Any update here?

These are arguments for permanent mask mandates.

These are arguments for permanent mask mandates.

No, they’re arguments for when the rate of COVID is still high as fuck, before the production of vaccines that are able to respond to variants & baby vaccines (both undergoing testing right now).

Calm the fuck down, you whiny child.

When this goes below last winter’s peak (and it’s almost there), we can all go back to living our lives.

But until then, maybe just cut the whining in half?

Everyone will have already had Omicron by the the time those vaccines are out. And what about the next variant? If you keep moving the goalposts, it will eventually become permanent.

Here's the deal. You can wear a mask forever if you want, but don't force me to or I'll vote for someone who will ban it for you.
