How can there not be a COVID-19 thread?

Just saying that if a 3-year-old can roll with this without issue, then it might be an issue with your hardware software.

You still assume it's hard for her. No it's not very hard for her, LOL.

Why not? Because Dems looked as dumb as they possibly could? Had that been a plane full of Republicans this place would be full of posts condemning them.

My concern about the DV is that I have the Pfizer jabs and it doesn't seem to be as effective against it.

I couldn't find the maskless claims but I did find claims that they were vaccinated. That said, I'd rather double mask around strangers than get COVID for stupid shit.

As for the efficacy, the phase 3 trials eval'd efficacy until the 4 month mark, "essential" workers like politicians and me got vaccinated in January. You can do the math...

Did you read the rest of my post? I believe I explained why not.

Maybe you should take a moment to put things in perspective. 30,000 people a day are catching this, over 200 a day are dying of it. But you are worried about these 3 people? That makes absolutely no sense.

LOL... from your crazy rightwing Facebook group? Nice, grandpa.

It's one thing if you want to talk about the politics of it here but be careful about spreading misinformation. We put up with a lot here but have zero tolerance for that.

Please clarify what misinformation I am spreading?

Are you actually disputing the authenticity of that photo? Not the meme, but the photo on the left.

I could just as easily post a store full of people wearing masks while socially distancing and an indoor Trump rally full of people screaming to the top of their lungs within inches of each other. The point is your meme is partisan to make a partisan point.

Posting this crap is on the edge, just watch that here. Anything doing with anti-masking or anti-vaxxing will not be tolerated, consider this fair warning on this topic.

The people on the photo to the right should’ve gone by private plane too!

I verified that photo and it seems legit. It's nicer when these are posted with sources and not as memes...

I hate nothing more than having to invest more energy verifying your claim than you posting it.

I posted the meme because no one else seemed to want to discuss the actual topic which is a bunch of Dems flew on a plane maskless and 3 of them tested positive.

Damn right its legit. It has been all over the news I just wrongly assumed everyone had seen it. My bad.

Lets do discuss. My state is heavily anti-vax, anti-mask. We've gone back to the office and now have a confirmed case, so contact tracing is having a bunch stay home for the next two weeks.

I went to Costco and Michaels today, and although my wife and I wore our masks, I'd say we were in the far less than 1/4 minority, due to overwhelming _Patriots_ in this state.

So, yes, no mask = stupid. Guess where no mask is coming from?

Your political topic, nobody else really cares here.

Ignoring the droves of Trump supporting anti-vaxxers to make a point about three dems is ignorant right wing propaganda. Maybe you'll find more sympathy posting this turd over at Parler.

Ok, yes my political topic. But it is less about the masks and more about "Rules for thee, but not for me". But would you agree if that plane were full of Republicans it would have been on every news channel ad nauseum?

And hey, I am more than willing to discuss Republicans being vaccine hesitant. I really do not understand why either. Unlike masks, there is not a "freedom" issue they can use.

Oh, is that the actual topic? Shall I change the title of the thread for you then? What would you like me to change it to?

All I know is I declined to go out west to a conference because I wasn't willing to wear a mask for 6 hours (airport time plus flight), but these legislators all got on a plane together and even took a maskless "selfie" and posted it online. And now 3 have tested positive.

A bubble of co-workers certified with dual vaccinations, sharing a chartered jet in a closed cabin with flight attendants and pilots (who weren’t part of that bubble), and who have since been in the company of people who weren’t part of that vaccination bubble,

versus,

People from all walks and communities, sharing a commercial jet in a closed cabin with flight attendants and pilots (who weren’t part of that bubble), and who are wearing masks to limit their own indeterminate ability to carry and pass along their potential to infect others as a function of prior exposure from the communities they originated.

Make bacon to oranges comparisons, get dismissed as a meme crank.
 
I point of fact I did see the story. I just didn't draw the same conclusions Herdfan did.

Well, masks don't work if you don't wear them.

And this was the first different conclusion I came to.

The fact that they were maskless didn't scream "hypocrites" to me, it screamed, "We came from a state where the disease is rampant because nobody else wants to wear a mask." They probably assumed the risk was minimal because immunized people are not being asked to mask up around other immunized people. That was their mistake. They forgot what state they were coming from.

The Dems would have looked dumb if they were unmasked on a commercial flight. But again...private plane, immunized.

And frankly the comparison doesn't stand up. If the private plane had been full of Republicans, most of them would likely not be immunized or masked. That's a much higher risk situation.

Uh-uh. Don't go there. Medical professionals are frustrated and beyond dog-tired. They did not sign up for taking care of a bunch of whining, irresponsible grown up children who act like they're suicidal. I'd wager you that most medical professionals who have to take care of these dumb anti-vax people have thought to themselves on multiple occasions, Why are we trying to save people who won't help themselves? We should just let them die.

Topic is COVID. Three of them tested positive after being in an enclosed aluminum tube for several hours and then going about meeting with multiple people in DC.

No, I think your topic title is just fine.

Isn't that ignoring the obvious?

The photo is Texas democrats on a PRIVATE CHARTED plane. Mask are NOT required according to federal pandemic guidelines, and they are vaccinated.

What exactly is the hypocrisy or issue you're reaching for?
