Thick as a brick, is it better?
I thought that was just a
Jethro Tull song.
Correction, scarves are better if you’re poor and masks only work for the elites.
@Gator check again…..page is blank.
@norma g there’s literally thousands of results. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174239683664 thousands.
@brain plumber when’s the last time he’s seen his wife’s underwear? When fucking Baron Trump was conceived? Lol
@Joy Phillips Are the hospitals doing that thing where they insist on seeing your Leftist Club I.D. card before they’ll treat you again?
Will someone please ask him if he knows what he is talking about?
@Pak De you are right. ),:
@Briza Ac Read @Pak De’s comment more carefully. The CDC told us not to wear masks, even though masks do protect us to some degree. It was a lie. The reason was because people were hoarding masks and there were not enough for health workers, who need them more urgently than the general public. Pak De said all that. They were NOT trying to get the disease to spread. It’s just that we didn’t have enough of a mask supply. And that’s a whole other story…
Don’t you get what he was trying to say. He’s not wrong scarves are reusable, washable, and you can save those masks for those on the frontline, healthcare workers. Trump has a point.
Scientists and doctors found the virus in the air in a New York hospital after a patient had died. Covid-19 is a airborne virus.
@jaykay415 – I was sarcastically responding to Pak De’s assertion that the WHO and the CDC “deliberately allowed” the disease to spread, causing thousands to die needlessly and also that the reporters have become “so biased”, blah, blah, blah. COVID-19 is a novel (not seen before) virus so the WHO and the CDC didn’t know exactly what they were dealing with. It’s probable that since there was no information at the time regarding COVID-19’s transmission capabilities, WHO and the CDC didn’t automatically assume that masks were necessary and yes, they were also concerned that there would be a shortage of masks in hospitals if the public started hoarding them, like it’s doing with toilet paper. If there’s anyone to blame for allowing the disease to spread, look to the White House.
The bandana will at least remind me not to touch my face
That is it exactly, keeps the hands away from face
@BradLee Jones why Andrew Cuomo doing a bad job equals Trump 2020/Trump doing a good job? This logic is very idiotic. Trump should have lock down NY despite what Cuomo said. He should send ask companies to make more ventilators and distribute many to NY, but instead he questioned if we even need that many ventilators (even thinking of selling them to Europe before thinking of treating patients here). Now I agreed he did good on banning China fast, but why took so long to ban Europe when it’s spreading like wildfires there, and at first not even banning the UK? When the CDC recommended everyone to wear masks (to protect people around us, not ourselves), why couldn’t he set an example that he would try to wear masks (even if that is a lie). How is it that one person is doing a bad job means other person doing the great job? Please use your critical thinking! Please don’t let political hatred and bias blind your own thoughts.
@huyenluong phung What? Everything’s President Trump’s fault? Aaaaant! Wrong Answer! What a Libtarded response!
Go Trump, The Chosen One! 2020 Landsl….AVALAAAAAANCHE!
Whaat? Allrightyy TheN I don’t think you have read a study, because you don’t seem smart enough to read a brochure. But again, what would people in the medical profession possibly know? I’m an idiot? Might have a little more sting coming from someone who can’t write at a fifth grade level. Name calling is often the the only resort for someone who can’t string a thought together. You have zero idea what you are talking about, so go back to your Facebook moms against vaccinations group and keep believing weed cures cancer plebeian.
Trump should wear a plastic bag over his head.
The Washington Post’s Article – “Got a T-shirt? You can make a mask at home” :>) The Mayor of NY actually said to wear scarves.
@Damiar 925 Its obvious less exposure is better. It doesn’t change the FACT that its BUNK telling us you need prolonged exposure to get this.
I know a local guy in my town who got this with exposure for just a few seconds. He got laughed at by healthcare workers who thought he was silly went he asked for a test. after 5 days of fighting for a test, he finally tested positive.
@Key Dash Your comment seems to indicate that I am not advocating for wearing masks. That’s not what I said at all. I have my own stash of non-n95s coming in that I ordered weeks ago.
@Michele M I’ve not heard anyone say that you NEED prolonged exposure myself. Though, I have heard to avoid prolonged exposure. Anyone who says you need to prolonged exposure to get sick is obviously wrong. I, again, have not heard that though.
He was 100% right ! DEBLASIO suggests that ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING IF YOU ARE TAKING THAT RISK. HE EMPHASIZES THAT IT IS SUICIDAL TO TAKE THAT RISK. HE ALSO KNOWS A PERCENTAGE WILL DISOBEY AND HE HAS ZERO RECOURSE. WHO WOULDN’T SAY THAT ?
the NY mayor also told us there was nothing to worry about in Feb. Whoops, now there is. Apparently his lack of preparation became Trump’s emergency. Just ask any liberal press dickhead.
So the Americans have spent two months and still didn’t figure out whether the masks and lockdown work.
@Sara Romano i believe they are taking vaccine i really do believe he has vaccine ,all of them ,he to me is too up about himself not getting anything sad ,sad, people are beening lead to the slaughter and they do not even see it. Take care you and your family.
Remember America does everything wrong before they stumble on the right thing
@Jose Andres Morales Oliva how can we unite when 40% of our idiots think this is a hoax ?
@John Henderson I understand that part, which is the dramatic aspect of it. The polarization is bringing your country down. Both side call the other idiots and the leaders should be the one starting by example changing that. I’m not American. I’m just following the multiple discussions in both sides of the media, and can’t believe how everyone is still pushing for their side. Other countries have paused their political aspirations for the time being. It is truly tragic that the virus showed up on election year, as I feel it biases all decisions. I pray for the USA.
Scarf and a few coffee filters inside is what I use til a MASK comes available
Just cover your head with a plastic bag and duct tape at the neck. 100% effective.
@Daniel Baker Hahaha. Someplace I saw the blue shop towels suggested.
baby diapers and duct tape, got a box here!
😆😅
@Joseph Fortin LMAOOOOO
That’s why I stay home unless I go shopping, but even though I try to get what I need and hurry back home.
Linda Huckabee you should get 2 weeks worth so the people working in the store aren’t put at risk every time you need something..
Hehehe you do know it only takes once right? It cold be that one time you go out for shopping.
Wear your training shoes. The virus is fast!
@Steve Kutz Remember she needs a commercial licence to drive that body!
All I’m saying is that first guy on the panel say that it’s the last resort for healthcare workers
Trump: Mask? “We don’t need no stinking mask”.
I work in a deli in a grocery store, the store says to not wear masks, i wear my mask anyway
UHaul has workers sweeping out those returned trucks! They don’t even let those trucks sit empty for 48 hrs 1st. And they don’t provide employees masks. At least where my daughter works. I’m quite concerned, she’s thinking optimistically…
People should be free to wear a mask if they chose to do so.
Jonny Ray Raygun Very wise! Please continue to do so!
Workers should be wearing masks anyway, regardless of a pandemic.
As long as they continue. to just sweep out the truck and donot. Demand sectarian. Suppliers nothing happen they will have to ban together or walk off the job. Its not like they r running over wt applications i don e that just about heat now this is something else would and could not work there i llove me too much. When people work under certain conditions nothing happens most businesses r closed
We don’t want to create bad image of hygiene that looks negative
Thicker, thicker, thickest that would be Donald “ not a shipping clerk” Trump. We are still exporting essential medical supplies to other countries. A national response would ban all exports until the epidemic was under control. Have the military use their resources to inventory the supplies we have and then expedite the movement of personnel and supplies to the most urgent outbreaks. Move said supplies and personnel to the next outbreak. Increase testing for both the virus and the antibodies test to identify people who have immunity and can now return to work. In a “war” troops and supplies are moved to the battlefields most in need. The Defence production act ,properly applied, could galvanize our production of necessary equipment and stop the bidding wars and profiteering that is now our sad state of affairs. The Federal governments first duty is the safety of the entire country. Trump takes “no responsibility “ , according to Trump it’s the states problem. Meanwhile the Federal government is outbidding the states for vital supplies. This is a national crisis that demands a NATIONAL response.
Critical supplies also come from our trade partners. Halting exports would help to starve us. Good thing you aren’t in charge.
@Underground Frenchy Nobody suggested halting exports. But when people are dying in America for lack of medical equipment (and they are), while some people are selling the same equipment abroad, at a profit. Good thing YOU are not in charge!
ragingbull alf
Name one person who has died from lack of treatment in America. There isn’t anyone who has received less treatment than requested. NOT ONE SINGLE PRRSON. Please provide evidence of an American not receiving life saving measures. You can’t. Because you are a lying partisan.
US is being allowed to import from China. China should stop this immediately. Given the viurs is rising quicker in US than anywhere else, other countries should ban Americans. Mexico should build a wall.
@Underground Frenchy If you include testing as a life saving measure… how many people have passed on the disease and killed an older relative? I don’t know and neither do you.
How many nurses and doctors have died as they selflessly work with inadequate equipment? I don’t know, neither do you!
How many have died because of a shortage of ventilators? I don’t know and neither do you.
I never mentioned treatment or lack of it.
I never mentioned people dying because of a lack of treatment
I don’t care if you call me partisan but I do want proof that I have lied.
I`d feel a lot safer if I had a scarf as thick as your President.
Sooo.. It sounds like you just admitted to feeling more safe with something thicker than… makes sense, good point 👍
@Dan Woodard no Orange is thick as a brick
Yeah You should find something thick…maybe like a hefty trash bag and wrap it around your face with duck tape to hold it there. All of CNN garbage reporters should do the same so they don’t get sick
but how to wear it? he is too fat
They don’t make them that thick.
Bet next time will say wearing stockings over his head
😄😄
24 hours later: WHO says use scarfs is you got nothing us
No us got nothing 🥴
This is Americas, “Let them eat cake” moment.
One of them.
The only thing that’s “thicker” than a scarf, is Trump himself! My friends and I think it would be better if he wore a gag, UNDER a mask!
Then he could practice playing his imaginary accordian in silence!
You are not funny though you try hard to be. You are a moron.
@Olayemi Ayoola No I think funny, yeah…. definitely funny. There really isn’t much thats thicker than that orange goon. Twat.
Olayemi Ayoola what do you expect, they get all their material watching Late Night.
There’s a shortage on scarves Dr birx owns all of them.
🤪😂😁
