What Does America’s Coronavirus Response Look Like Abroad? | NYT Opinion

[@emilyholzknecht4012]

Hi! I'm Emily, a member of the NYT Opinion Video team. We're experimenting with this format and would like to hear your feedback on this video. What do you think? Would you like to see more? What should we focus on next?

[@speakeasy5306]

Simply PROPAGANDA and no doubt it would have been equally at home in 1930s GERMANY. And you call yourselves liberals ??? I'd call it a SMOKE SCREEN for FASCISM. America has a 5th COLUMN within and they are a Real and Present Danger to your Freedoms. To clarify .. FASCISM as used here. It is the BEHAVIOUR and INTENT that defines any ideology: NOT the pretty label they hide behind, albeit in this case LIBERALS. You are witnessing all the hall marks of FASCISM being practiced.

As Trump sees his poll numbers beginning to suggest that he has no path to victory in November .. short of martial law, theft, voter suppression, etc. ... he grows steadily more desperate and dysfunctional. I believe that the answer lies in a wholesale restructuring of our political system that would end political contributions from anyone who does not live in the district in which a candidate is running. No more PACS, Corporative contributions, etc. Make our politicians accountable to their future/present human constituents, and let's see what kind of government we can create. And construct/mandate an electoral system in which public servants come to believe that their tenure in office depends upon our opinion of the job they're doing. Make them believe that our well being, and their career, are inextricably entwined. In short, make it clear that we want nothing less than Representative Democracy.

I have been going to stores looking for face shields for me and my sister. Flu season is coming and masks are not enough.

[@Maatkara1000]

@Rohan Grin no it is not. Masks do NOT stop the virus from entering you, they stop your viruses from coming out. If you are wearing a mask but the other person doesn't, you are still getting infected. Wearing the mask has to be done by everyone. Think about the one person you see. If that was the only person not wearing mask, which wouldn't be that bad, what are the chances of you seeing him in the exact same shop you buy from at that exact same time? Very few. For you to encounter a person without a mask every time you go to town, there has to be enough people not wearing masks for the probabiblities to work the way they are doing. Now, think of all the negationists in America. Think about how an infected negationist spreads the virus to, let's say, 20 people around him. What are the chances of all those 20 to not meet anyone while not wearing a mask for the next month? Very few. Each of those 20 will spread thr virus to some other 5 people (that is, if each of those 20 wears a mask religiously), and those 5 to some other 5 each (again, if they wear masks). Do you see how the virus moves? In just three steps, 500 people have gotten infected. Knowing this, calculate what are the chances of someone around you getting infected, and multiply that by 10 for every maskless person you AND they encounter. See where I am going?

As a Texan, I couldn't possibly agree more with your opinion of Texans. I'm a Senior Manager of a restaurant that's stayed open the entire pandemic, not without casualties - another branch store has half its managers out from Covid and THEY'RE STILL OPEN. I'm serious when I say my customers are belittling it by comparing it with the Flu: although the flu might have a higher mortality rate untreated, it can be treated and its spread is easily prevented. Covid is not so easily stopped and currently has no vaccine and almost no way to treat its symptoms and we've quadrupled the deaths from the 2018-2019 flu season. And yet they believe otherwise. And our governor has literally stated he "doesn't plan on closing again" and he means it! Mandatory masks in public was his 'last resort to keep from lockdown' and, not only has it not slowed down the spread in Texas, he also hasn't gone through with his threat and shut down. At all. Stay away from Texans. Seriously. I wish I could but I don't get unemployment if I quit and my company ain't offering Furlough or partial/full Unemployment benefits.
