[Warning: Long Post Ahead]
So I need your help: I need some stats that I can trust. I need some good articles and graphs to show my wife the truth, and not fear-mongering. She is a strong woman, but has been stressed out so much (working from home while teaching 3 kids their school's lesson plans is HARD) I get to go to my office every day then come home and play with my kids.
A problem I have is that I don't trust the CDC or WHO. And that's a problem with the 'mask' situation. During our argument, I mean our DISCUSSION, she said the "CDC is still telling everyone to wear masks in public!"
I looked it up on their website, and yes, they do. But then they say it's to prevent you from getting OTHER people sick, in case you're sick and don't know it yet. The CDC is telling people to wear masks so they don't infect others, NOT to keep themselves safe.
And the CDC, WHO, state health department, etc. are always going to mitigate their liability. They're going to err on the side of caution, and recommend more drastic measures than are likely necessary. (If not downright lie; don't get me started on that!)
Long story long, I need help convincing my wife things are OK. I need help reassuring her things are OK. A lot of this is stress she is dealing with because she is trying to work full time at home (impossible) while watching 3 kids AND teaching them (and they're all in different grades, so different homework, lessons, videos, etc.)
Thank you if you were able to stay awake and read my entire post. :) I wish TDW had a sub (dom) for text posts like this, separate from the memes and hot-off-the-press news. More of a discussion-focused area.
Stay safe and MAGA-on!
Good luck Brother! I dont even try to red-pill my wife! I just watch videos and read Alt media in front of her and just live my life. She hates what the dems are doing but she doesnt like that trump is "mean". She knows the media fucked him over but thinks he should be above it. Just dont wear your mask or make your children wear one with they are with you. Im not wearing a mask either well i have a drs appointment and they asked that I wear it and I respect that.
I haven't worn a mask at all during this thing. Not saying that to boast or anything, but because I didn't find it necessary.
My wife has not let my kids into a store in the past... 2 months or so???? It's not even a question of my kids wearing a mask, because she won't let them go anywhere except our house and my parents' house (we have a few acres, and my parents have about 10 acres. So the kids get to play, but they are already tired of that stuff.
My dad voted for Trump, has a bumper sticker, several signs on his yard fence and flies his Trump flag next to the Gadsden flag (Don't Tread on Me)... yet, he went to a grocery store with my Mom last week, and they had a sign requiring masks.... So he goes to his truck and gets a mask and shops in the store.
ME, I would have left, on a matter of principle.
If they require one at the Dr. Office, yes, I'll wear it then, but that's it.
