Joe Biden would require face masks in public against coronavirus

We can’t get smug.

I was just grocery shopping, and only about 1/2 of people were wearing masks and less seemed to care about distancing.

The line-ups for the clothing stores, no one was masked. I am North of 49.

A second wave come fall could hammer us if we can’t get our acts together.

Also, Dick Cheney can continue to fuck off. No one fucking asked his murderous ass.

Yeah, but in Canada’s case it’s more of a combination of laziness and lack of a push from public health. At least, that’s how it feels where I live. Nobody’s losing their minds in front of Costco complaining that masks are harvesting their life-pixies for Trudeau.

I posted it mostly as a curiousity, and thought it was noteworthy that someone of his position from the conservative side was bucking the trend. But maybe it’s more of an indication of how irrelevant he has become.

Cheney’s a corrupt monster, but unlike Trump and so much of his supporters, he isn’t an idiot.

Umm … have you watched the news recently? Plenty of people actively protesting against wearing masks.

Or did you mean any politician? I’m pretty sure there’s plenty of those agin it too. Can’t be arsed to google it.

Mustn’t ever get smug in the face of a pandemic (the virus don’t care what side of a line one lives on) but it is adorable when my Canadian relatives talk about “how bad” politics or COVID are up there. It’s in that charming old fashioned way that people used to talk down here in The Before Times. “Ho ho, those fat cats in Washington sure are turrible!” It’s so other-league down here now that I can’t even take it seriously when they complain. It’s like standing in a volcano and hearing someone else standing down on the lush plains saying “gonna be a hot one today!”

I meant specifically presidential candidates, both actual and hypothetical. Sorry for the lack of clarity.

No, which was part of the problem. How many Iraqi citizens are dead because of him?

Let’s not lose perspective here.

People aren’t wearing masks a lot over here, either. In my seaside town, maybe less than a third of people go masked. Social distancing seems to be being observed pretty well, though, for the most part.

In the store where I work, a vast majority of customers wear masks. Though there’s a rising number of COVIDiots and they’re becoming more vocal about how they’re dipshits who don’t know how to wear a fucking mask.

It’s also an indication that the man who has no heart (or has he received a transplant by now?) is chock full of all kinds of immunity issues (maybe still on suppressant medications), putting him on the top of the “at risk” pile.
