Thought I'd go and read through this topic, and I'll say this... we're all idiots and we should shut up and stick to what we know, and that's video games.
@nessisonett I'm honestly not surprised. People are deeply, deeply stupid. How about "the driver might not want to have racist morons that are failing to wear masks in their vehicle"?
@Ralizah The East Asian one also brings to mind the comfort women of occupied Korea. It's no coincidence. Masks are stopping them breathing in God's beautiful air!
@kyleforrester87 It’s kinda funny how attitudes have changed since this all started though, the first few pages of the thread are just toilet paper jokes and then people started actually dying.
@KratosMD the prep needed to have been done before it kicked off in China really, by that point it was pretty much already too late. Lessons will have been learnt here, no doubt!
@Arugula Florida’s got roughly 3.7 times the population of Scotland and our total cases are 18,340. You’ve almost overtaken our total cases in one day despite the population not being that much higher. Jeez.
And yet Disney World and schools are still opening.
The actions of several GOP governors and the administration currently in the white house are indistinguishable from those of a death cult at this point.

So... yeah. Don't believe ANYTHING coming from official U.S. sources until the madman is out of office. If you don't think this is part of a cover-up in the face of a tough re-election, then I have a bridge to sell you.
I'm so ashamed of my country for electing this guy.
Blimey. Sounds like the US has just given up on containing the virus. And yeah if what @Ralizah says is true, then I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers were tampered with to make it seem like there are less cases in the future.
@Kidfried This is the same guy who just pardoned his friend without explaining himself so yeah, this doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. Of course it’s not corruption, it’s ‘political clout’.
@Octane Nationally, there was never a real attempt to contain it. Leadership is primarily down to the state level, which means you're at the mercy of whoever is the governor. It's working well in some states. Then you have states like Georgia, where evil Trump toadie Brian Kemp just banned towns and cities across the state from mandating mask wearing in public. In the middle of a pandemic.
We've turned the simple act of wearing a mask into a political football.
@Kidfried Yeah, it's pretty obvious they're lying through their teeth. I'm hardly surprised, though: for all our crowing about "checks and balances" in government, we have an executive branch that has long demonstrated it's fundamentally broken. The sad truth is that there's not a lot that can done to hold someone like Trump accountable when most of the government is controlled by right-wing extremists. We tried impeachment, but without majority support, and in the context of a president who is utterly without shame or self-reflection, all impeachment amounted to was a slap on the wrist.

@nessisonett Trump? I don't know how he would. He barely won last time by clinching a few key states, and he's polling significantly worse in key battleground states in 2020. Still, I realize it's a long time until November, and this year has been horrible, so I'm not counting my chickens yet. I think he'll be as horrible as possible on his way out, though.
@Octane You're approaching this from the standpoint of a rational human being. Approach it from a tribal perspective instead. Masks are seen as a sign of capitulation to your cultural enemies, and your chief has made a point of not wearing them. If you're a bootlicker who cares more about virtue signaling to the president than caring for the public health of your residents, then it makes sense. His people will mumble something about freedom, and then point out that they've 'strongly recommended' face coverings when people call them out on helping to perpetuate unnecessary mass death.
