And your point is?

We already know the military-industrial complex wants Trump out and a more manageable warmonger in. What he wrote was absolute rubbish on the face of it. A fancy job title doesn't suddenly mean his rubbish becomes wisdom. If he says the moon is a balloon, would you accept that too?

You think endless war, domestic spying, the destruction of countries around the world is good for civilization?

My point is, here is a credible alternate view from a relatively neutral source that could provide an inkling of wisdom to a greater problem in American society for those who have ears. Whether you believe his credentials or critique is your call.

Who is saying endless war, domestic spying, the destruction of countries around the world is good for civilization? I think we agree on this point.

Just looking at that face is enough to scare most people!

2 years ago, in 2018: The African youth boom: what's worrying Bill Gates

What worries Bill Gates most? The booming population of Africa looms over his foundation’s latest global survey. By the end of this century there will be 4 billion more people on Earth – and 3 billion of these extra souls will be born in Africa. The challenge, he says, is that “Africa must almost quadruple its agricultural productivity to feed itself. That’s very daunting.”

March 31st: U.S. Surgeon General: 'The data doesn't show' that wearing masks helps people during coronavirus pandemic.

He then explained the reasons why.

“On an individual level, there was a study in 2015 looking at medical students and medical students wearing surgical masks touch their face on average 23 times,” Adams explained. “We know a major way that you can get respiratory diseases like coronavirus is by touching a surface and then touching your face so wearing a mask improperly can actually increase your risk of getting disease.”

Adams went on to say that wearing a face mask “can also give you a false sense of security." He added that "you see many of these pictures with people out and about closer than six feet to each other, but still wearing a mask.”

EDIT (JB observation): current CDC recommendations are here, in favor for a cloth cover (not substitute for social distancing).

June 26th: CDC says there may be 10 times more coronavirus infections than reported in the US

New estimates from the CDC indicate that the coronavirus has infected 10 times more Americans than confirmed so far via testing. The forecast comes from Director Robert Redfield, and it’s based on data from a COVID-19 antibody screening program.

As of Friday morning, more than 2.5 million Americans have been diagnosed. If the CDC estimates are accurate, then the actual number of people who were infected so far is 25 million. So far, nearly 127,000 thousand patients have died in the US.

If true, this would make the CV death rate about 0.5%.

June 20: Stanford prof: Median infection fatality rate of coronavirus for those under 70 is just 0.04%

John Ioannidis, a professor of epidemiology and population health at Stanford University, argues in a paper published earlier this month that COVID-19 "seroprevalence studies," which measure infection rates using the presence of antibodies in blood samples, "typically show a much lower fatality than initially speculated in the earlier days of the pandemic."

You just posted something from the U.S. Surgeon General from March. Not his current recommendations.

Alright I edited what I posted above. The 2015 study the Surgeon General cited is still valid.

If what you're saying is true, then why has the president been saying

'face masks represent 'silence, slavery, and social death'?

Furthermore,

'Pence falsely claimed the US 'flattened the curve' the day after it broke its single-day record for new COVID-19 cases!'

You can't make this sh*t up!

Anyone seen any good campaign domains for 2020?

TrumpResigns dot com - OK, maybe not technically a "campaign" domain, but close enough for me!

lol

On a side note - https://www.namepros.com/threads/the-nps-official-usa-political-thread.764342/page-1941#post-7712111

@iowadawg - posted a video of his mask, one with dogs. @mr-x is he a lemming as well?

"new face mask, it is a bunch of dogs"

You're the tool claiming people going to a Trump rally caused a new pandemic.

From the dawg's blog: "The science is settled, the facts are in COVID is a sham, and masks are the bunk."

This guy sums it up pretty well.

I said they were stupid for not wearing masks. And Trump isn't helping. Of course it contributes to the spread.

You skipped my question. Do you think iowadawg is a lemming for wearing a mask? Knowing he's had numerous health issues and probably not a good idea catching this virus. You even Thanked his post about the mask.

"It is a video of me and my new mask."

It helps, it doesn't help. A cotton cloth isn't going to stop a virus.

You read that on the Internet? What does wearing a mask have to do with you being a lemming?

 

[JB Lions]

You read that on the Internet?

You keep skipping the question. Is iowadawg a lemming? Yes, stupid, face coverings help. You're an adult and fail to grasp things little kids can grasp. How do you function in life?

"What does wearing a mask have to do with you being a lemming?"

You said that, now you're trying to get out of it because you forgot iowadawg wears one:

"Yes. A mask will save you. Ohh.. look there not wearing mask.

Lemming."

@.X. did you wear a mask at Trump's Farewell Tour in Tulsa?

You deflecting to save face after tripling down on b/s............ I'm an idiot

Pathetic. Way to own yourself.

 

[Cannuck]

Wonders if they'll make a special BS20 mask for Trump?
