250,000 Now Dead in US from Covid - Snorlax94 - 11-18-2020
A sad and terrible milestone now that over 250,000 Americans have died from Covid. Also today, two more representatives have tested positive: Republican Dan Newhouse of Washington and Republican Doug Lamborn from Colorado.
This is in addition to Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa testing positive Tuesday, and after the (at least) two Super Spreader events at the White House.
Additionally, Republican Governor Kim Reynolds of Iowa has now issued a mask order, reversing statements this summer -- “No, I’m not going to mandate masks,” she said this summer, dismissing the order as an unenforceable “feel-good” measure. “I believe in Iowans."
Huh, I wonder where Dr. Atlas and his Twitter account is now that Republican governors are issuing lockdowns and mask rules.
Where are all the conspiracy theorists who claimed masks "trap in" the virus and make you sicker, when a Republican governor issues a mask mandate? Do masks cause mask-ne only when Democratic governors mandate them?
If Governor Reynolds believes masks work and that freedom-loving Iowans can wear masks, then wouldn't it follow that masks would've worked in May, as well? Then why all the hatred against masks all summer? Why were security guards verbally abused, punched and even shot and killed trying to enforce mask rules at private businesses?
What a strange type of "science" that reverses itself depending on who's saying it.
I've cancelled my very minimal plans to catch up with a few friends outdoors and am stocking up for the dark winter. Good luck to us all.

Is your entire outlook set by the dichotomy of Democrats Good, Republicans Bad, or is it just on Covid?
Either way, see you on the other side. (Or maybe not, if we're all as doomed as your post portrays).

I guess it is impossible that someone changed their minds in response to the data? I guess every time the CDC revises it's advice they are inconsistent idiots? Perhaps "trusting" Iowans proved not to be such a good idea when "security guards verbally abused, punched and even shot and killed trying to enforce mask rules at private businesses?". Yes, the Governor was probably wrong in May. At least she isn't persisting in her error, unlike some other prominent chief executive we know.

I'm all in favor of politicians — and anybody else — who change their policy because of new or more information. All the "waffling" and "wishy-washy" attacks are the worst of politics when it's about changing a mind for cause. And I'm in favor of any Republican who gets cautious on Covid at this late date ... better late than never.

I'm absolutely and unabashedly taking this opportunity to say my view is regarding Covid, so far, "Democrats Good, Republicans Bad." The facts so far prove that true. And here's hoping that all Republicans change their minds as soon as possible.

Yes, please. Thanks Goose.

I think the relevant data here is that voting ended two weeks ago.

Johns Hopkins now estimates there will be over 300,000 deaths within a month. Just be thankful the CFR has gone down since April. The death numbers would be way higher had treatments apparently not improved. Of course, really be thankful everyone's CFR isn't as terrible as North Dakota's, which is the worst on planet Earth.
Anyone know why North Dakota is the Covid death rate capitol of the world?
