Made the mistake of turning on the local TV news this morning.  More Virus doom and gloom talking about huge numbers of cases now, spikes and second and third waves.  It is relentless pounding of the airwaves of this propaganda.   The next story was about a cop in Allentown that had his knee on the neck of some Black guy.  The feigned outrage and racial divisiveness was sickening.  All hate Whitey all the time.

The Media is fixated on:

1.  Virus panic and societal/economic destruction is the "New Normal". 

2.  America has epidemic Systemic Racism.

This is almost ALL they talk about constantly.

Of course they will.  They'll get to leak his tax records and then let whispering campaigns run wild on how many "illegal" tax dodges he is using.  The general public...including the NY attorneys, you and maybe me...have not the first clue what a billionaire's taxes look like and how many programs provided for by Congress he is engaged in.  I say maybe me because I did study tax law in bschool for two semesters, so I might have a first clue, but I'm still far from being able to understand it.

This has never been about a suspicion of wrongdoing.  It's about new fodder for feeding the ignorant "news" about how much Trump is cheating them on his taxes.

I didn't realize that was a serious question to which you actually wanted an answer.

Risks are relative.  I feel the risk of which you speak is small and manageable.  The only time I ever had a moisture problem on a mask was when I was cleaning out a dusty warehouse on a hot and very humid day.  I was sweating and breathing heavy.  There was no viral or bacterial threat, but I changed masks anyway as the moisture mixed with the dust to clog it up.

I look at it the same as I look at people that don't wear seat belts because they heard of a crash where the non-belted occupant was thrown clear of an exploding car.  Had he been belted in, he would likely have died.  But compare that to the number of lives SAVED by seat belts and that risk seems insignificant.

Yeah, a lot of people wear crappy masks and bandannas, and a lot of people wear the masks incorrectly (below the nose) and they fidget with the mask, and THEY EVEN TAKE IT OFF AND PUT IT BACK ON every time they get in and out of their car.   But overall, masks reduce the rate of transmission of the virus.  It's just cheap, but admittedly imperfect, protection against a potentially fatal disease.

"It's just a ride in a cattle car. For your safety"

Well I am firmly invested in Kristi Noem as the next President after Trump.
