Johnson has seen the light on 'face coverings'. Just not on toxic mask-ulinity
“The scientific evidence of face coverings … that’s been growing. So I do think that in shops it’s very important to wear a face covering.” “Face covering”! I wonder if Boris called condoms “penis coverings” when he wasn’t wearing those. Over the past long months of dealing with the coronavirus, perhaps the prime minister has often been forced to point out that he is just one of those guys who is too big for masks. Maybe they cut off his circulation or something. Normally, he might suggest, countries prefer the sensation of being governed by a maskless Boris Johnson. So … this feels like it’s your problem, not his?

McConnell and Graham had apparently moved their "expert-level" classes to online platforms a few months ago.

From a Washington Post article: 



The severity of the toll on the United States was evident in new infection figures released Tuesday, with multiple states — including Oklahoma and Nevada — hitting record highs. Florida has now reported more cases in the past week — nearly 78,000 — than most European nations have in their entire struggle with covid-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus.




This makes me want get drunk and cry: 


CDC Director Robert Redfield said Tuesday that the coronavirus could be “under control” in the United States within a month or two if everyone wore masks.



The link will take you to a video interview with Redfield in which he makes the above assertion around the 5:20 mark. 

 
And the JAMA editorial where he says as much:
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2768532

"At this critical juncture when COVID-19 is resurging, broad adoption of cloth face coverings is a civic duty, a small sacrifice reliant on a highly effective low-tech solution that can help turn the tide favorably in national and global efforts against COVID-19."
Mark Gordon, Governor of Wyoming, announced that he'll be giving a speech tomorrow afternoon. Some CHUDs immediately started in on him and I naively posted that quote, saying "from the CDC's Trump-appointed Director," thinking that might get it over the threshold. It did not. I got called names. :lol: 

Can you see this? Another guy was accused of being a troll paid by the governor and the public health doctor.

CNN headline:
Coronavirus cases soar by more than 1 million over 5 days

Also in the news, Death Valley missed its all-time high by one degree on Sunday. The record is the hottest temp ever recorded, 129 and change.
Yeah, it's called 'Death Valley' for a reason, but still.

Sure starting to seem like Mother Earth has had quite enough of us, huh?

Here we are being told, "Feel sick? Get a COVID test." My boss got tested even though he was sure he caught a cold from his mother who tested negative. Masks are now recommended in Melbourne, but not required, even on public transport. I don't know how you deal with young people and the general wankers who act immortal and self-centred. Just keep on message, I guess.

Florida sets new state daily case record of 15,299
Florida has registered a state record of 15,299 new coronavirus cases in 24 hours - around a quarter of all of the United States' daily infections.

The state, with just 7% of the US population, surpassed the previous daily record held by California.

Florida, which began lifting coronavirus restrictions in May, has proved vulnerable due to tourism and an elderly population.

Its figures eclipse the worst daily rates seen in New York in April.

Florida also registered an additional 45 deaths.

The state would rank fourth in the world for new cases if it were a country, according to a Reuters analysis. More than 40 hospitals in Florida say their intensive care facilities are at full capacity.

And furthermore those that fit this description are not noted for their comprehension and listening skills when confronted by non political language and are a waste of time.  Self reliance is the future.



 

My point perhaps was not clear. I would like to be able to at least be able to obtain information from the FDA, CDC, NIH without having to wonder whether it has been influenced by politics.

Of course, I do also read articles by and watch interviews of non-governmental scientists.
