@@jeremysmith9694 they’re avoiding touching their mask unnecessarily to lower the risk of accidental transmission. You should sanitize your hands before touching your mask and after removing it to lower the risk of accidentally transferring any viruses on the outside of the mask to your hands or vice versa and accidentally touching your face and infecting yourself. While out it’s easier to put a mask on and leave it. Then if suddenly in a situation where you need the mask it’s already on. Get a brain

[@jeremysmith9694]

@@Nevertoleave The overwhelming majority of people don't do what you just said. How most people use masks is dumb anyway because they're constantly touching the outside of their mask all day. But if you're outside exercising basically alone the benefits of fresh air far outweighs the risks not wearing a mask. I went to a Christmas party on Saturday with 16 good friends. Indoors. No masks. My mental and emotional health needed that human interaction and contact much more than I needed to protect myself from a virus with less than a .05% mortality rate. It's called risk and reward. Balance is the keyword. I can either die living alone in my basement not working, eating or living or I can take a risk by living my life and using caution. I'll take the risk.

Remember after this outgoing administration. We can't let our guard down. From this administration forward we must hold ALL of our elected officials accountable. If not we run the risk of someone worse later on. Like I said before...Although wounded...HOPE is alive Merry Christmas 🎄☃️🎅

I doubt very much that Trump will be indicted for anything he did WHILE IN OFFICE. That's because every president breaks some laws by authorizing such things as CIA so called "black ops". Charging Trump for crimes he committed while in office would result in all future presidents being charged by AGs of the other party. But, in Trump's case, there's plenty of crimes for which he can be indicted that he committed before he took office.

No , he had work to do , as President- those are the acts of a president , war is not murder , if in his spare time he missile struck a political enemy - that's a tort , he is culpable for any or all criminal acts ,

"I care ... more about my partner and her safety than I do about myself. I don't know what that says about me psychologically..." It says that you love that person. Love is simply a barometer of your willingness to sacrifice your well-being to ensure the well-being of another.

Exactly. Wear a mask when you're not at home. And _keep it on to cough._ Don't pull it down or up so you can cough freely. I see idiots saying that you're not supposed to cough directly into your mask, and that you're supposed to lift it up and cough into your sleeve or your elbow. No, folks. Cough directly into the mask. That's why it's there. Thank-you, Rachel.

Man, I love Jon Batiste. One of the coolest people on the planet.

Rachel is the best and is my best source for news. She never lies. Just the facts. Her presentation is awesome. She has a way of connecting the dots like no one else.
