This might be a Fox News talking point, but it is absolutely true. If 80 year old Pelosi (see: high risk group) is comfortable enough to go to and into a salon and walk around with no mask, then i'm going to question how deadly this virus really is; especially after her continual rhetoric about wearing masks. Either she has a death wish based on her own rhetoric or Covid is not as deadly as it is getting played up to be. I'm going with the latter.
What death toll is the cutoff for you Fred? 1? 1000? 10,000? Would you crash the economy and lock everyone down for 1000 elderly high risk people? And I keep saying it like a broken record, that the ancillary harms from the lock downs may come close to or outweigh the damage from Covid itself when all is said and done.
What ancillary harm is worse or more permanent than death?
I’m gonna explain this again for the nth time; the mask Nancy Pelosi wasn’t wearing in the salon isn’t to protect her from getting sick, it’s to protect the staff from Nancy Pelosi getting them sick if she is infected and doesn’t know it.
If you don’t understand how mask decrease the spread of disease you aren’t qualified to give mask recommendations. That’s why at your hospital you wear the type of mask you’re told to wear when you’re told to wear it because you’re not qualified to tell others they don’t need to wear a mask.
