The Virus Outbreak Thread

As of this moment it’s now illegal for me to be outside without a mask, until further notice.

@NamelessNP  

 
It’s a start.

It appears that it’s been 3 weeks since I got it and all I felt from it is shortness of breath and being fatigued so easily after a simple movement like walking.
 
I can’t tell anymore if my immune system had vanquished the virus because I can now do all the things that I couldn’t do during the height of the struggle or maybe they’re just lying in wait before I’ll feel all those things again. I need to be swabbed asap.

Covid may enter the top ten leading causes of death in the US for 2020.
 
This is what failure looks like.

Too little, too late, not even catching the worst strain of this virus would be fitting enough for him. (I feel the same way about ALL authority figures who dropped the ball regarding the pandemic).

@Alexk13  
He’s the one to blame for the entire virus

@Sky2000  
Kindly get out of here with bull shit statements like that please. It’s nothing but false assertions based on your own political biases.

@MagpulPony  
I’m listening to ACTUAL science

@Sky2000  
If that were the case, your statement would be directed at the President of China.

@MagpulPony  
Even if he isn’t the cause of it, he didn’t help out the country he’s the president of. I dare say that he made things worst than they should have been.

@MagpulPony  
Look, China was awful during this pandemic, But Trump is also responsible for this getting out of control

@Meanlucario  
That’s fine to debate, but claiming that Trump is personally to blame for the entire virus? Nope.

@MagpulPony  
I fail to see how it’s a “debate.”

@Meanlucario  
Pretty much

@Sky2000  
Trump should have taken harder stances on things like masks and testing, but pretending like Trump saying something to people was going to have some sort of magical impact on people is ridiculous. The responsibility in the end falls on the people to do their part, which evidently they had no intention of doing regardless. But in the age of “orange man bad” the MSM will never pass an opportunity to blame whom they hate the most.

@Meanlucario  
I do. A lot of states didn’t want Trump calling the shots and taking authority over their response on a national level. So Trump took a step back and let them manage their responses in a state by state basis, and now that that’s shown to be a failure, they’re blaming Trump for not doing his job. Well shit, he does literally anything he loses in the eyes of the media. It’s obvious bias to me.

McDonald’s will start requiring face coverings at all US locations starting in August.
 
Don’t get me wrong: I understand the need and the urgency to get the new case numbers down in a big fucking hurry, but you got to admit that the growing number of these mask mandates are getting kind of annoying. First it’s like half of all the US states, then just about every major retailer, then the schools in the states that reopen them, then the fast food restaurants. I wonder what’s next.

@Goku Black  
It should be required everywhere. Plain and simple.

@Goku Black  
It’s sudden since they were dragging their feet until now, when it makes them look good.

@MagpulPony  
8-12 hours a day is enough for mask-wearing, at least for me. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be wearing masks 24/7, including at home.

@Goku Black  
You don’t need one at home, just when out in public.

@Goku Black  
you have to wear a mask outside even if you dont like it i dont want to get sick because people dont want to wear it because it violated your freedom it dont violate anything you have more freedom wearing it you dont make other sick
