Orange County and some other areas are awesome! LA and the Bay Area are bringing us down! I feel we have the power to be red if voter fraud stopped and illegal immigrants did not vote.
I have friends in northern CA and I've felt for a long time that your statement is accurate...if illegals didn't vote and fraud didn't happen on the D side, CA would probably be Red.
Other than a few blue cities, it seems that many people in CA are based.
I think a lot of would be Republican voters in Cali are demoralized and just don't vote because we're made to believe Cali is deeep blue, but in reality it isn't.
I hope thats not true. The red people I know are pumped to vote. Its the only place to show your red support without being ridiculed by liberals (depending where exactly you live).
Except I care whether masks work or not, and I'm not a retard or even close to it. I care because I have a science background and don't tolerate fake communist bullshit propaganda being passed off as "science."
If masks did work, that would be one thing. I know they don't, so that knowledge provides a firm foundation to proceed on.
"Not funny" is an understatement. This video was painfully unfunny. They came off like passive aggressive dicks. I keep seeing the "Bill & Ted" comparison which is wrong. Bill & Ted were likeable.
The left is so far gone that you can no longer tell the difference between obvious trolling from the right and deadly seriousness from the left
I really, really, hope that Ellen got dunked by a pair of performance artists, but I'm not willing to watch Ellen unless I know that to be true ahead of time
These guys are somewhat known for pranks. There was some prank of theirs where they were trolling the LA City Counsel over something 2 or 3 years ago that went viral for a small time. The blonde guy calls himself Chad Kroeger like the guy from Nickleback.
Okay well... The next time you need to hop on an airplane to go to a funeral and the stewardesses forces you to put on a mask or face shield to even step foot on the plane let me know how it goes for you.
OK, but in fairness, next time you go to hop on a plane, and nearly every single passenger tells the sky waitress to fuck off with the mask bullshit, let's see how that goes for the airlines.
it absolutely helps with large particles/droplets. But supposedly this is spread by just sharing the air someone else is breathing with for a certain period of time, the longer the time the more viral load. That’s why social distancing is WAY more important than wearing a mask in which the air is barely filtered if at all.
Important for what exactly? The evidence that “social distancing” reduces the severity of a pandemic is surprisingly absent. The whole concept was only invented less than fifteen years ago.
I mean it’s pretty obvious that keeping your distance from someone whom is sick will prevent yourself from getting sick.
I’m not saying 6 ft or whatever number people wanna say, but just in general, especially if the virus is not a hand to mouth virus and more so aerosolized.
even if just to protect yourself from spreading the virus to those around you like family/friends/work and their families.
But there was never a claim that the spread of the virus would stop. It was two weeks to "slow the spread". Everyone, sooner or later, will come into contact with the virus. Some will die, most won't. What is the point of masks? If they work as you say they do (I don't believe they do), then you're just delaying the inevitable.
We need to bite the bullet and get this over with.
Nature periodically does a purge. That's not necessarily a bad thing, and there's nothing humans can do about it.
Unless it's an N95 mask, it's pointless. You go ahead and breathe through a filthy cloth which is collecting bacteria.
Edit: Apparently N95 isn't effective either. I read the studies on mask efficacy and neither surgical nor N95 masks had a measurable effect on viral spread.
you absolutely could inadvertently spread it and kill 100s of people in 1 second.
This is why people don't buy the crap being peddled by the "muh mask" crowd.
None the less we as a group of DJT supporters should just wear masks and let it go. It isn’t something we should draw a line in the sand over to make a political stand.
You're having a really difficult time grasping what the masks and the shutdown are REALLY all about, aren't you. I don't wear a mask not just because I don't believe they work, even though I don't. It's because it's a symbol of tyranny. Every time you strap one on, you're telling the Left, "We'll do whatever ridiculous thing you want...no questions asked."
Their dream is to see everyone walking around with the compliance flags on their face. Then when the Left demands another economic shutdown and exclusive fraud-by-mail "voting", they know everyone will go right along with it in the false name of safety.
No, wearing a cloth mask does not filter the actual virus in any way. Only respirator masks and above offer any actual protection.
Show me any doctor that is dealing with a virus that uses a cotton mask as protection.
Edit... Nice hyperbole about killing hundreds in a second
I have had one single solitary 25 cent paper mask I have used exclusively since mid March because my state requires businesses to force customers to wear them inside. I am sure it is soaked with the germs of every one of the hundreds of places I've been in and out of for months now, as well as those of the probably thousands of people I've been near during that time. The mask requirement is stupid and counter productive.
Unless you have a perfect seal they do nothing. Anyone who wears glasses and a cloth mask will tell you that your glasses will fog up. The air follows the path of least resistance. All they do is restrict the amount of clean air you can breathe.
Except that we're not fucked. It has an extremely low mortality rate, and very rarely effects anyone under 50. It's barely a risk for most people. We're fine.
This is the same anti-science bullshit the left gives for wearing masks. The reality is we don't know. They may help or they may not. However, the left wants to George Floyd anyone not wearing one so I call them racists.
Go for it! It's about time one of my things caught on :)
Except even I can't decide if the FACEISTS are those who wants to show their face and flout the left wingers' Party Line about the mandatory muzzle...or if the FACEISTS are—like the true RACISTS—the left wingers pimping the Party Line. It could kind of go either way. Suggestions welcome!
[Like the Russian-invented word RACIST, I would spell it FACIST, except that looks too much like a misspelling of FASCIST.]
I mean we do know; based on history and common sense.
If we should all be wearing a mask now for prevention of this then this means we should have all always been wearing masks from birth to death because there are even worse things killing even more people out RIGHT now.
WTF do you mean by 'we don't know'? Do you believe this is the first time a contagious virus has been an issue, and no doctors or scientists have ever studied whether masks have any effect on stopping them from spreading?
We do know actually. They don't work. Everyone was told that the "precautions" in March were going to "stop the spread." All of a sudden, after the country started to open again, the Left is telling us the "precautions" didn't work because nothing has supposedy changed so we have to do the same thing all over again.
The masks are being pushed because the Left wants to continue the false narrative that everyone is contagious and therefore, everyone at risk. This way they can continue to make everyone's lives miserable and continue to sow discord and hatred.
Oh, it also gives them excuse to run a Presidential campaign without actually having to campaign. This is what's infuriating me about GEOTUS' campaign team right now. They're playing right into the Left's hands. He has to be in full campaign mode right now. Screw the masks and mandates. If he shuts down rallies and continues to hide like Biden, he's going to lose this election. He's going to lose to an unpopular crook with dementia.
These dudes were videoing themselves pranking people to get their reaction to something so stupid as a mask on the beach...and to prove that plenty of people get it.
These are the two dudes that went to a city council meeting simply to argue for their right to party. Pretty sure these guys have been on the Jessie Waters show quite a few times now.
Edit : Now that i think about it Fucking crazy that cities banning house parties like guess you don't really own that house. I will never live in one of these big retarded bureaucratic cities.
calipede here we have more republican voters than any state but texas
there's a lot more to this state than just the hellholes of LA and the Bay Area although they take up a lot of space and are a cancer that spreads rot everywhere
I'll never give up hope that we can fix this place, it's my home.
I'm pretty sure California has more homeless people than Conservatives. I spend a month or two out there for work and see more vagrants in that short amount time than the rest of the year and I'm going to places like DC.
No, just HB and some areas in OC. We have a large amount of Republicans here, and a lot of just plain ole leave me the folk alone at the beach culture type of apolitical people.
Dude if you visit California just stay/visit in farm areas Trump sings everywhere. I drove from Fresno down big sir awhile back, the state is blood red outside of city limits.
They're pants wetting, BLM activist douchebags, trust me. Their third wheel, Strider, isn't as adept at hiding his politics.
I`ve been following them for awhile. And here's the thing, if they weren't so funny and friendly, I'd never have noticed. At some point I realized they're just more likeable versions of Sasha Baron Cohen's schtick.
I f*cking hate how stupid, moronic and tribal people have become over these masks.
Wear masks when it makes sense. Do not demonize people who have a different opinion than you.
If I live in an area with a high number of cases, I'd wear a mask:
a) if i am in a plane (circulated air)
b) if i am in a hospital. (makes sense to me why Trump did as well in Walter Reed).
c) if i am in a crowded public transport (armpit to face crowded)
d) if i am working in aged care industry or in a service industry (for customer confidence).
e) if i am immuno-compromised or if i am elderly
Other than that, I won't wear a mask, especially in open air.
I know the risk and in life there is no such thing as zero risk.
If you want to wear masks in open air, you're risk-averse, I get it, but don't push your risk aversion to me.
If someone SJW tells me to wear a mask or PPE, I'd tell them that wearing a mask unnecessarily creates tons of landfill and plastic waste.
Saying things like "hoax or lie" just plays into their propaganda that people who don't wear masks are anti-science.
"science" is another hoax perpetrated by the left.
the left knows nothing of skepticism or research or the scientific method or peer review or statistics or critical thinking. i imagine 95% of their scientific inquiry goes beyond memes at worst and the wikipedia opening paragraph at best.
the way the left uses "science" is just rebranded religion for those smug atheists... a means by which to control the idiot masses. i dont give a FUCK if those sheep think im "anti-science".
I agree that people nowadays forget that science is based on challenging hypotheses and revisiting assumptions when facts change. It has been weaponised nowadays.
I am only pointing out that using the term "hoax" (while I agree that the over-reaction the pandemic is the hoax), it can be easily misconstrued as denying the virus. The virus is real and the number of deaths is real and significant. Throwing the word "hoax" blows up the argument/discussion unnecessarily.
You may not care what other people think, but popular opinion drives social policies. And social policies affect us all. Hence, we have to win arguments.
All I am saying is to fight it with logical arguments based on science to win people's minds.
Example:
I have told people I know that vaccines take a long time. Anyone with knowledge of how clinical trials work, know they take a long time, and may not even be 50% effective. There was no vaccine created for previous coronaviruses like SARS and MERS, that I know of.
Even some vaccine experts are doubting if an effective vacine can be created due to the nature of infection is technically outside the body.
Because of the uncertainty and indefinite target date for a vaccine, it is foolish to keep the economy on lockdown.
The death rate is pretty low for healthy individuals, and if the more healthy people get the virus, the more we build up herd immunity (science).
The more herd immunity, the sooner we can get back to normal life.
The "number of COVID deaths" is indeed "inflated" depending on who's counting it, and which country.
The "number of CASES" which includes asymptomatic cases, is greatly hyped by media for fear-mongering.
It is the number of hospitalized cases and number of deaths per capita, that matters. And as far as I understand those are really low. Hence lockdowns are not justified.
But some of you here seem to be fixated on calling the whole thing a hoax.
Brushing off deaths as a hoax is not going to convince others. For anyone who knows a victim, it is downright insensitive.
All I am saying is if you want to be effective in getting people on board, then argue the points, don't just call everything a hoax.
afaik primary way the virus spreads is being carried by water droplets in exhalation.
masks do significantly limit that because they block vast majority of the moisture when a person exhales.
Respiratory droplet transmission is the usual route for respiratory infections. Transmission can occur when respiratory droplets reach susceptible mucosal surfaces, such as in the eyes, nose or mouth. This can also happen indirectly via contact with contaminated surfaces when hands then touch the face. Respiratory droplets are large and cannot remain suspended in the air for long, and are usually dispersed over short distances.[14] The size of the particles for droplet infections are > 5 μm.[12]
(yes I know wikipedia is a cucked source, but the part I quoted is a very basic part of medicine that is accepted and known worldwide)
In fact the first red-pill my family had about governments through the west mishandling the infection is when they first said
"Its a coronavirus.... but masks don't help'
back when this pandemic was only starting, because that was such a clear and blatant lie flying in the face of how these types of viruses spread.
that said, mask use should be limited to situations of close contact with a lot of people or with the people who are in high-risk. Wearing them all the time as many are suggested is just bullshit, because there are some studies that hint that they might have negatively impact on the wearer's health if worn for long periods.
wikipedia is not a trustworthy source of information. If you use it at all, I recommend looking at the source they cite at the bottom of the page and look at those instead.
I know where you are getting at. Viruses are very small (nanometers). Neither homemade masks nor surgical masks is gonna filter them all out. N95 or higher grade masks are necessary and even those are not 100% effective.
But masks do have limited effectiveness in "minimizing exposure" (not complete prevention) to the virus. And a healthy immune system should be able to deal with small exposures and give you immunity.
imho, exposure matters because a healthy doctor exposed to virus 24/7 is going to have their immune system overwhelmed, no matter how healthy they are.
If a surgical mask gives you, i dunno, something like 20% effectiveness (very ineffective), some will argue 20% is still better than 0%. I understand that argument.
With that said, I don't work in a hospital, not an elderly, and I don't go to crowded places. So my risk exposure is very low.
I am also confident with my health, hence my risk aversion is low.
For those reasons, I do not wear a mask.
All this boils down to is individual attitudes towards risk. Some people are extremely risk averse. Some are not.
You cannot change that. People will be themselves.
And if you believe in freedom, then you also have to believe in freedom of risk-averse people to wear a mask, if they choose to.
What is important is not to conflate individual/personal decisions with policies/laws that will be imposed on everyone else.
Respect individual decision to do what they want (wear a mask or not).
Governments / businesses should not force anyone to wear a mask, nor penalize them.
Don't shut down the economy just because some people are too risk averse.
Like WOAHHH dude, masks save lives and stuff, and we're super smart bro's who listen to the news. So we're going to LOL on these HB folks who don't wear masks in the fucking open outside. Such cool content we can appease the woke crew!
Imagine being so fucking uninformed and so brainwashed that you just blindly follow shit with no research or facts. This is literally akin to the BLM narrative pushed. No facts or stats, just emotional dribble with people regurgitating the fake lies as if they're facts.
Now if only we'd have some of that energy up north.
Most people I know are sick of this, but unfortunately, there's still a lot of crazies in this area. I'd go out without a mask but I need to keep my head down, too many literal crazies living here and I need to find a temporary job until my job opens again because I need money. It sucks so much.
The sad thing is that this lockdown plandemic has gotten people so scared they won't even offer jobs. Like, when has it been controversial to look for a FUCKING JOB? If a person wants to provide for himself or someone else in this time while others are satisfied with locking themselves, they should not only be hired, but also praised, not "Oh, think of others, don't you want your loved ones to catch Co-lol-nah, and suffer financially and emotionally for wanting to WORK." I'm a workaholic, I love working. Work ethic is like muscles, if people like me don't work, then we get lazy, depressed, and feeling useless. When the fuck has wanting to work became a political statement? WHY is wanting to fucking work become a political statement? I swear to god this plandemic made people more stupid than the communists. At least communists will force you to do something so that way you'd die faster. Doomers just want you to sit there and die as slowly as possible.
I just want Sacramento and their politicians to pay dearly for this. They ruined a great state just for the sake of politics. Same with the media. If I could personally arrest so many news networks for falsely spreading this panic, I'd do it. I hope that Trump addresses the need to re-open and force pressure on our state governors, and use force if necessary. I'd back him 100%.
I feel the same way, I want to find a different job because the one I have now doesn't pay much and I've been meaning to leave for a while now, even before this pandemic. But no one is hiring. It's so frustrating. I want to work but the left is making that impossible.
I'm shocked at how many pedes took this way too seriously and didn't do a little digging to find out who Chad is. These guys run a youtube channel just for trolling.
They went to a city council meeting and filed a motion to erect a Paul Walker statue in San Clement or some other town. They're hit or miss in terms of their comedy but they're definitely just trolling/parodying
I suspected as much when they stayed chill, lighthearted, and respectful. They’re also somewhat groomed and not either of limp soy noodles or butterbeasts.
Obviously cut to make people look dumb (and yes, some responses were actually dumb - like breathing your own "carbon monoxide" -- it's dioxide)
The dude walking 20 miles was moving at an aggressive clip (which you would need to do to walk 20 miles in a day). A mask would get soaked from respiration. He's not out strolling casually.
It's about as dumb as asking dudes on bikes to wear masks. Uh, no, they're exercising and breathing heavy.
For those curious about who these guys are, they’re a sketch comedy group- check out chadgoesdeep on Instagram. They’re on Fox News in character from time to time
The further south you go in Orange County, the fewer people you will see wearing masks. I guarantee that there's less than 10 percent of the people wearing masks in south OC, maybe one percent if that at the beaches. I was at San Clemente over the Fourth and people were throwing house parties and bombing hills in wagons without a single mask in sight. Either they know the coronavirus is bullshit or they just don't give a fuck, but probably both.
These responses are pure gold. Nobody is having it. Not men. Not women. Not young people. Not old people. NOBODY IS HAVING IT.
There is NO EVIDENCE OF OUTDOOR SPREAD. It takes 15 minutes of close indoor contact with no breeze to develop enough viral load for a successful transmission.
There is no need for masks or distancing or anything when you're outside at the beach with the breeze blowing. Also, the vitamin D you're getting from being in the sun (with those great tans) should be enough to ward off the virus.
Yup, they are bro-dude pranksters/trolls.
Sadly, that lady asked him the most important question he will ever be asked, and he laughed it off. I pray he finds Jesus.
What's worse is he doesn't even know English. When the lady asked him, he called god a "superseding" being.
Not supreme. Even if they are trolling to show the farce of the situation, they're still ignorant of the use of their own language.
yep that is the sad part. The worship the youtube God and lefty idols.
I thought they were jonesy and Riley. Was waiting for them to run into shoresy. Furta
yeah this is thier worst video imo. them trying to get a statue of paul walker at the beach is great tho.
Funny dudes.
Holy shit. How the fuck is Cali blue, these people are fucking awesome!
This made my fucking day!
Orange County and some other areas are awesome! LA and the Bay Area are bringing us down! I feel we have the power to be red if voter fraud stopped and illegal immigrants did not vote.

I think a lot of would be Republican voters in Cali are demoralized and just don't vote because we're made to believe Cali is deeep blue, but in reality it isn't.
I hope thats not true. The red people I know are pumped to vote. Its the only place to show your red support without being ridiculed by liberals (depending where exactly you live).
https://depts.washington.edu/moving1/California.shtml
Because non-whites vote for Democrats, and CA is more than 50% non-white.
watch their women's march video! haha
This was so funny. Read the comments though. A bunch of Karen’s lecturing about selfishness and anti science
you kidz smoking weeed? lmao
haha, the one dude just grabbed his shit and dipped.
He was social distancing...lol
I'd do the same if some stranger sat the fuck down right next to me
Dipping is the new term for leaving? Ha ha ha

I like "chin diaper" too :)
That's true, except if the entire premise is that masks work to prevent disease transmission.
If that's the premise, then the science matters; it's the sole useful tool to test the truth of the premise.
As it happens, the science is abundant and conclusive in destroying that premise as bullshit.
Were you considering a different premise, though?
10 minutes ago
That definitely seems like a joke. The people I see actually trying to force everyone to wear masks are much more forceful and violent about it.
That's Chad and JT, the Bill and Ted of city council meetings! https://www.youtube.com/c/ChadGoesDeep
They were on Watters World a while back. https://youtu.be/2uv1_dB7P9A
Well yeah, they're aggressive authoritarians.
This guy gets it
Those dudes are a (not funny) sort of comedy duo I've seen a bunch of times onJesse Watters' show.
They're almost semi-regulars
"Not funny" is an understatement. This video was painfully unfunny. They came off like passive aggressive dicks. I keep seeing the "Bill & Ted" comparison which is wrong. Bill & Ted were likeable.
Every Democrat is a violent totalitarian thug.
Doubt it. Anyone that goes on Ellen is a degenerate in my eyes
My two takeaways are....
The left is so far gone that you can no longer tell the difference between obvious trolling from the right and deadly seriousness from the left
I really, really, hope that Ellen got dunked by a pair of performance artists, but I'm not willing to watch Ellen unless I know that to be true ahead of time
They did?
These guys are somewhat known for pranks. There was some prank of theirs where they were trolling the LA City Counsel over something 2 or 3 years ago that went viral for a small time. The blonde guy calls himself Chad Kroeger like the guy from Nickleback.
So that's their shtick. Being douchebags.
For anyone interest. This is their LA City Counsel House Party prank.
The comments section on that video tells me those guys are probably actually like that. At first I thought it had to be satire.
The comments section gave my eyeballs cancer.
You got eyeball cancer too?
Yes, amongst my other ailments such as glass bones, paper skin, and an awful sense of humor.
Nah, they’re two atheist douchebags. The title summed them up correctly. They were friendly though so that’s different.
I didn't find them friendly at all. I did find them to be douchebags.
Or anywhere really.
Okay well... The next time you need to hop on an airplane to go to a funeral and the stewardesses forces you to put on a mask or face shield to even step foot on the plane let me know how it goes for you.
OK, but in fairness, next time you go to hop on a plane, and nearly every single passenger tells the sky waitress to fuck off with the mask bullshit, let's see how that goes for the airlines.
So doctors?
Or left with no option. Many employers mandate it or live somewhere that mandates it for workers.
I think anyone who cares what other people are wearing is just looking to complain about something
Thats the problem. Masks don't actually filter the sub micron sized virus particles.
it absolutely helps with large particles/droplets. But supposedly this is spread by just sharing the air someone else is breathing with for a certain period of time, the longer the time the more viral load. That’s why social distancing is WAY more important than wearing a mask in which the air is barely filtered if at all.

There is evidence to suggest they can: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.0c03252
No there is zero evidence that a piece of cloth will filter any virus, ever.
Me: provides evidence
Some retard: tHeReS nO eViDEncE eVr
What is the link? I don't click on links that don't identify themselves easily.
It shows that any random cloth covering will ACTUALLY FILTER virus sized sub micron particles!?
But there was never a claim that the spread of the virus would stop. It was two weeks to "slow the spread". Everyone, sooner or later, will come into contact with the virus. Some will die, most won't. What is the point of masks? If they work as you say they do (I don't believe they do), then you're just delaying the inevitable.
We need to bite the bullet and get this over with.
Nature periodically does a purge. That's not necessarily a bad thing, and there's nothing humans can do about it.
remember it went from "flattening the curve" to where we are now...which is? I don't even fricken know anymore!
Unless it's an N95 mask, it's pointless. You go ahead and breathe through a filthy cloth which is collecting bacteria.
Edit: Apparently N95 isn't effective either. I read the studies on mask efficacy and neither surgical nor N95 masks had a measurable effect on viral spread.
Unless its a tank of air that isn't exposed in anyway to the outside, it's pointless.
People have a REAL struggle with scale once things get very large or very small.
Viruses are on the small side, if you want to stop a virus from going through a material its going to be very difficult to also push air through.
This is why people don't buy the crap being peddled by the "muh mask" crowd.
You're having a really difficult time grasping what the masks and the shutdown are REALLY all about, aren't you. I don't wear a mask not just because I don't believe they work, even though I don't.

Never, bud
It's a hoax
Then hold up your favorite mask, and spray a burst of aerosol into it, simulating a cough or sneeze.
Watch it fucking go right through.
Then quit wearing the germ-soaked things, or at least quit advocating that others follow along with the tyranny
I have had one single solitary 25 cent paper mask I have used exclusively since mid March because my state requires businesses to force customers to wear them inside. I am sure it is soaked with the germs of every one of the hundreds of places I've been in and out of for months now, as well as those of the probably thousands of people I've been near during that time. The mask requirement is stupid and counter productive.
Unless you have a perfect seal they do nothing. Anyone who wears glasses and a cloth mask will tell you that your glasses will fog up. The air follows the path of least resistance. All they do is restrict the amount of clean air you can breathe.
The only use I've found for a mask it's to get in to stores that won't let me in without a mask.
I’m pretty sure they were trolling. I enjoyed it.
I honestly couldn't tell. Hilarious either way.
Except that we're not fucked. It has an extremely low mortality rate, and very rarely effects anyone under 50. It's barely a risk for most people. We're fine.
Virus can also get in your butt hole so keep it covered as much as possible.
This is the same anti-science bullshit the left gives for wearing masks. The reality is we don't know. They may help or they may not. However, the left wants to George Floyd anyone not wearing one so I call them racists.
I call them FACEISTS.
Go for it! It's about time one of my things caught on :)
Except even I can't decide if the FACEISTS are those who wants to show their face and flout the left wingers' Party Line about the mandatory muzzle...or if the FACEISTS are—like the true RACISTS—the left wingers pimping the Party Line. It could kind of go either way. Suggestions welcome!

Thanks for replying
upvoted
I mean we do know; based on history and common sense.
If we should all be wearing a mask now for prevention of this then this means we should have all always been wearing masks from birth to death because there are even worse things killing even more people out RIGHT now.
In short; Not happening.
WTF do you mean by 'we don't know'? Do you believe this is the first time a contagious virus has been an issue, and no doctors or scientists have ever studied whether masks have any effect on stopping them from spreading?
Yeah actually there's no scientific studies on this. I've looked for em but if you can find one I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
We do know actually. They don't work. Everyone was told that the "precautions" in March were going to "stop the spread." All of a sudden, after the country started to open again, the Left is telling us the "precautions" didn't work because nothing has supposedy changed so we have to do the same thing all over again.
I guess it depends on your definition of work. Do they stop transmission by 5% of the time? Maybe. It certainly wouldn't stop it 100% of the time.
The masks are being pushed because the Left wants to continue the false narrative that everyone is contagious and therefore, everyone at risk. This way they can continue to make everyone's lives miserable and continue to sow discord and hatred.
Oh, it also gives them excuse to run a Presidential campaign without actually having to campaign. This is what's infuriating me about GEOTUS' campaign team right now. They're playing right into the Left's hands. He has to be in full campaign mode right now. Screw the masks and mandates. If he shuts down rallies and continues to hide like Biden, he's going to lose this election. He's going to lose to an unpopular crook with dementia.
These dudes were videoing themselves pranking people to get their reaction to something so stupid as a mask on the beach...and to prove that plenty of people get it.
I think they are playing dumb for the video
“Dropping Dong Dude” Big pp
These are the two dudes that went to a city council meeting simply to argue for their right to party. Pretty sure these guys have been on the Jessie Waters show quite a few times now.
"Wat up council I'm a PartieS enthusiast..."
Edit : Now that i think about it Fucking crazy that cities banning house parties like guess you don't really own that house. I will never live in one of these big retarded bureaucratic cities.
If you want to know who really owns your house, stop paying property taxes.
Fun Fact Coronavirus is just another phrase for the Common Flu.
not even the common flu, the common cold.
Same family. I have no evidence, but I heard tests could false-positive if you have a cold.
tests can false positive if you dont even show up to your test
Lol dude then you're not paying attention. The hoax doctors confirm this basically every time they go on tv
holy shit California is based?
calipede here we have more republican voters than any state but texas
there's a lot more to this state than just the hellholes of LA and the Bay Area although they take up a lot of space and are a cancer that spreads rot everywhere
I'll never give up hope that we can fix this place, it's my home.
I'm pretty sure California has more homeless people than Conservatives. I spend a month or two out there for work and see more vagrants in that short amount time than the rest of the year and I'm going to places like DC.
I was visiting Ventura once and had some awesome left over Indian food I offered it to a homeless guy as we were leaving the establishment.
"I don't take food from strangers."
Well, escuuuuuuuse me. :D
They got a better life out there then in Texas. That's for sure.
https://depts.washington.edu/moving1/California.shtml
No, just HB and some areas in OC. We have a large amount of Republicans here, and a lot of just plain ole leave me the folk alone at the beach culture type of apolitical people.
Dude if you visit California just stay/visit in farm areas Trump sings everywhere. I drove from Fresno down big sir awhile back, the state is blood red outside of city limits.
These guys are funny. They’re not douchebags though, they’re just trolling.
They're pants wetting, BLM activist douchebags, trust me. Their third wheel, Strider, isn't as adept at hiding his politics.
I`ve been following them for awhile. And here's the thing, if they weren't so funny and friendly, I'd never have noticed. At some point I realized they're just more likeable versions of Sasha Baron Cohen's schtick.
They were joking. Not douchebags. It was good to see people rejecting wearing masks outside.
Guy on the bike knows what’s up
What did he yell at?
I f*cking hate how stupid, moronic and tribal people have become over these masks.
Wear masks when it makes sense. Do not demonize people who have a different opinion than you.
If I live in an area with a high number of cases, I'd wear a mask:
a) if i am in a plane (circulated air)
b) if i am in a hospital. (makes sense to me why Trump did as well in Walter Reed).
c) if i am in a crowded public transport (armpit to face crowded)
d) if i am working in aged care industry or in a service industry (for customer confidence).
e) if i am immuno-compromised or if i am elderly
Other than that, I won't wear a mask, especially in open air.
I know the risk and in life there is no such thing as zero risk. If you want to wear masks in open air, you're risk-averse, I get it, but don't push your risk aversion to me.
If someone SJW tells me to wear a mask or PPE, I'd tell them that wearing a mask unnecessarily creates tons of landfill and plastic waste.
Saying things like "hoax or lie" just plays into their propaganda that people who don't wear masks are anti-science.
"science" is another hoax perpetrated by the left.
the left knows nothing of skepticism or research or the scientific method or peer review or statistics or critical thinking. i imagine 95% of their scientific inquiry goes beyond memes at worst and the wikipedia opening paragraph at best.
the way the left uses "science" is just rebranded religion for those smug atheists... a means by which to control the idiot masses. i dont give a FUCK if those sheep think im "anti-science".
I agree that people nowadays forget that science is based on challenging hypotheses and revisiting assumptions when facts change. It has been weaponised nowadays.
I am only pointing out that using the term "hoax" (while I agree that the over-reaction the pandemic is the hoax), it can be easily misconstrued as denying the virus. The virus is real and the number of deaths is real and significant. Throwing the word "hoax" blows up the argument/discussion unnecessarily.
You may not care what other people think, but popular opinion drives social policies. And social policies affect us all. Hence, we have to win arguments.
All I am saying is to fight it with logical arguments based on science to win people's minds.
Example: I have told people I know that vaccines take a long time. Anyone with knowledge of how clinical trials work, know they take a long time, and may not even be 50% effective. There was no vaccine created for previous coronaviruses like SARS and MERS, that I know of.
Even some vaccine experts are doubting if an effective vacine can be created due to the nature of infection is technically outside the body.
Because of the uncertainty and indefinite target date for a vaccine, it is foolish to keep the economy on lockdown. The death rate is pretty low for healthy individuals, and if the more healthy people get the virus, the more we build up herd immunity (science). The more herd immunity, the sooner we can get back to normal life.
Umm the number of deaths is absolutely not real at all. It's a hoax
Yup. I couldn't read anything he said after reading that part. He sounds like a concern troll.
Maybe next he'll ask you guys to acknowledge your white privilege just a bit or else liberals won't think you're cool.🤷🏿♂️
The "number of COVID deaths" is indeed "inflated" depending on who's counting it, and which country.
The "number of CASES" which includes asymptomatic cases, is greatly hyped by media for fear-mongering.
It is the number of hospitalized cases and number of deaths per capita, that matters. And as far as I understand those are really low. Hence lockdowns are not justified.
But some of you here seem to be fixated on calling the whole thing a hoax. Brushing off deaths as a hoax is not going to convince others. For anyone who knows a victim, it is downright insensitive.
All I am saying is if you want to be effective in getting people on board, then argue the points, don't just call everything a hoax.
Done arguing points. If you can't tell it's a flat out hoax then Idk what to tell you.
5 months of pointing to the numbers is enough for me
5%, not 95%?
So why weren't you wearing a mask in all of these situations before?
i get it that mask-shaming is being used as a political weapon, not just in the US, but in various countries as well.
but going towards the extreme opposite end implying all mask usage are bad and mind-control, aint gonna help either.
Tell us what you think the mask is blocking, microbe-wise.
Share how big you believe the pores on the very best masks are...and how big viruses are.
Explain WHY a mask can help. Maybe more people will give up their freedom and follow along.
afaik primary way the virus spreads is being carried by water droplets in exhalation.
masks do significantly limit that because they block vast majority of the moisture when a person exhales.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_(medicine)#Droplet_infection
(yes I know wikipedia is a cucked source, but the part I quoted is a very basic part of medicine that is accepted and known worldwide)
In fact the first red-pill my family had about governments through the west mishandling the infection is when they first said
back when this pandemic was only starting, because that was such a clear and blatant lie flying in the face of how these types of viruses spread.
that said, mask use should be limited to situations of close contact with a lot of people or with the people who are in high-risk. Wearing them all the time as many are suggested is just bullshit, because there are some studies that hint that they might have negatively impact on the wearer's health if worn for long periods.
https://www.jpost.com/health-science/could-wearing-a-mask-for-long-periods-be-detrimental-to-health-628400
wikipedia is not a trustworthy source of information. If you use it at all, I recommend looking at the source they cite at the bottom of the page and look at those instead.
I know where you are getting at. Viruses are very small (nanometers). Neither homemade masks nor surgical masks is gonna filter them all out. N95 or higher grade masks are necessary and even those are not 100% effective.
But masks do have limited effectiveness in "minimizing exposure" (not complete prevention) to the virus. And a healthy immune system should be able to deal with small exposures and give you immunity.
imho, exposure matters because a healthy doctor exposed to virus 24/7 is going to have their immune system overwhelmed, no matter how healthy they are.
If a surgical mask gives you, i dunno, something like 20% effectiveness (very ineffective), some will argue 20% is still better than 0%. I understand that argument.
With that said, I don't work in a hospital, not an elderly, and I don't go to crowded places. So my risk exposure is very low. I am also confident with my health, hence my risk aversion is low. For those reasons, I do not wear a mask.
All this boils down to is individual attitudes towards risk. Some people are extremely risk averse. Some are not. You cannot change that. People will be themselves.
And if you believe in freedom, then you also have to believe in freedom of risk-averse people to wear a mask, if they choose to.
What is important is not to conflate individual/personal decisions with policies/laws that will be imposed on everyone else.
Respect individual decision to do what they want (wear a mask or not).
Governments / businesses should not force anyone to wear a mask, nor penalize them.
Don't shut down the economy just because some people are too risk averse.
Yes
Like WOAHHH dude, masks save lives and stuff, and we're super smart bro's who listen to the news. So we're going to LOL on these HB folks who don't wear masks in the fucking open outside. Such cool content we can appease the woke crew!
Imagine being so fucking uninformed and so brainwashed that you just blindly follow shit with no research or facts. This is literally akin to the BLM narrative pushed. No facts or stats, just emotional dribble with people regurgitating the fake lies as if they're facts.
Imagine being unable to detect ironic humor and good-natured ribbing
Meh, these days satire and reality are virtually indistinguishable.
In many cases yes
Gonna keep saying it until it sinks in - more Trump voters in California than in the 10+ reddest states combined.
I doubt that.
Now if only we'd have some of that energy up north.
Most people I know are sick of this, but unfortunately, there's still a lot of crazies in this area. I'd go out without a mask but I need to keep my head down, too many literal crazies living here and I need to find a temporary job until my job opens again because I need money. It sucks so much.
The sad thing is that this lockdown plandemic has gotten people so scared they won't even offer jobs. Like, when has it been controversial to look for a FUCKING JOB? If a person wants to provide for himself or someone else in this time while others are satisfied with locking themselves, they should not only be hired, but also praised, not "Oh, think of others, don't you want your loved ones to catch Co-lol-nah, and suffer financially and emotionally for wanting to WORK." I'm a workaholic, I love working. Work ethic is like muscles, if people like me don't work, then we get lazy, depressed, and feeling useless. When the fuck has wanting to work became a political statement? WHY is wanting to fucking work become a political statement? I swear to god this plandemic made people more stupid than the communists. At least communists will force you to do something so that way you'd die faster. Doomers just want you to sit there and die as slowly as possible.
I just want Sacramento and their politicians to pay dearly for this. They ruined a great state just for the sake of politics. Same with the media. If I could personally arrest so many news networks for falsely spreading this panic, I'd do it. I hope that Trump addresses the need to re-open and force pressure on our state governors, and use force if necessary. I'd back him 100%.
I feel the same way, I want to find a different job because the one I have now doesn't pay much and I've been meaning to leave for a while now, even before this pandemic. But no one is hiring. It's so frustrating. I want to work but the left is making that impossible.
"You kids smoking weed" ? Instant video cut lol
I'm shocked at how many pedes took this way too seriously and didn't do a little digging to find out who Chad is. These guys run a youtube channel just for trolling.
They went to a city council meeting and filed a motion to erect a Paul Walker statue in San Clement or some other town. They're hit or miss in terms of their comedy but they're definitely just trolling/parodying
I suspected as much when they stayed chill, lighthearted, and respectful. They’re also somewhat groomed and not either of limp soy noodles or butterbeasts.
Picked up on that as well. More Bill and Ted vibes and not Trigglypuff and Karen.
I could tell they were just being funny pretty quickly.
Hahaha, this was hilarious. Thanks for sharing! These two idiots are comedy gold. If it's not all an act of course. Some many based reactions too.
Woa now lets chill out. These are comedians Chad and JT. They have a ton of love for Melania.
Yeah I can't believe everyone dissing my boys Chad and JT!
glad to see that not all of cali is cucked
These are the guys that went to the city council meeting to lobby for Partying. It's a goof. Even if they are libs, they're not assholes about it.
This is so funny, while they are a bit sucky, they’re funny and everyone they met was awesome!
Was that fucking Riley and Jonesy from Letterkenny?
I looked at the picture as well and my first thought was "does it come in onesies?"
Obviously cut to make people look dumb (and yes, some responses were actually dumb - like breathing your own "carbon monoxide" -- it's dioxide)
The dude walking 20 miles was moving at an aggressive clip (which you would need to do to walk 20 miles in a day). A mask would get soaked from respiration. He's not out strolling casually.
It's about as dumb as asking dudes on bikes to wear masks. Uh, no, they're exercising and breathing heavy.
It seemed more like an act than douchebaggery to me
entertaining clip though
I am so proud of california. The fireworks on independance day were awesome. And those people were absolutely based!!!
'dropping dong' was fucking awesome, i've never heard of that... These guys didn't antagonize anyone, i think they're pretty neutral.
What's a muzzle 🤣😂
These kids are just being playful, wouldnt call them douches tbf.
Lol. Almost seems like this was the expected outcome and were proving the point that not all people want masks. I’d like to watch more.
For those curious about who these guys are, they’re a sketch comedy group- check out chadgoesdeep on Instagram. They’re on Fox News in character from time to time
I think they are deplorables undercover! Slowly, the video gets more and more ridiculous.
I am a member of a SJW forum. I just derp on them, post silly things to sabotage. Above is a great red pill.
Fuck. California could be duch an amazing state.
It used to be, before the Dems ruined it
The further south you go in Orange County, the fewer people you will see wearing masks. I guarantee that there's less than 10 percent of the people wearing masks in south OC, maybe one percent if that at the beaches. I was at San Clemente over the Fourth and people were throwing house parties and bombing hills in wagons without a single mask in sight. Either they know the coronavirus is bullshit or they just don't give a fuck, but probably both.
HB is so based. Its one of the last places in California you can be American, celebrate your country, and live a good life.
The muzzle bike dude is my new hero.
These responses are pure gold. Nobody is having it. Not men. Not women. Not young people. Not old people. NOBODY IS HAVING IT.
There is NO EVIDENCE OF OUTDOOR SPREAD. It takes 15 minutes of close indoor contact with no breeze to develop enough viral load for a successful transmission.
There is no need for masks or distancing or anything when you're outside at the beach with the breeze blowing. Also, the vitamin D you're getting from being in the sun (with those great tans) should be enough to ward off the virus.
Masks? Like they do not wear butt diapers on their mouths in v2.0?
funny.
Lol, the most based medical professional I know is a friend out in OC, and he's been straight clowning on the mask mandates since day ONE.
Wow, that was very reassuring. All of this mask deniers are my People.
FREEFACES
We're not "deniers", which suggests obstinate opposition to actual established fact. Cf. Holocaust deniers.
We're mask OPPONENTS, because they do no good at all but do immeasurable harm.
You don't wanna go to hell do ya?
Nah that would suck.
Scholars lol
"Droppin dong bros"
I get Bill and Ted vibes from those two, but not in a cool way.
