I think that's great especially for those who are so deathly afraid of getting Covid and who have finally realized the cloth masks they were proudly wearing were worthless virtue signaling props. IP: Logged |

He has failed miserably to crush the virus as he promised. A little too late. Instead of forcing people for all year to wear a worthless prop and killing untold lives, he should have been honest with everyone. He is truly a POS.IP: Logged |

I have not myself looked @statistics but heard it reported this wk from someone via podcast who did. It seems the uptick has exploded only After massive jabs cohersions, masks being forced so often, if this boom in cases is after some "miracle" they push ... shouldn't we all be A-ok by now?!! Hmmmm logic ~ where has it gone to? IP: Logged |

Well, look at the timing. Now that all polls show Biden popularity is in freefall, they have to do something. If they were really serious, the N95 masks and the free test kits could have been distributed well ahead of the Xmas holiday, to enable people to get together and visit grandmas with less worry. But this comes up after the holidays are over.

@Belage .. yes and you are "reasoning" which this admin. seems geared against. In fact their motto might be "why think for yourselves? We'll do it for you" - in fact nothing they do makes any sense for those if us still using our own minds and not giving our thinking abilities over to them. I saw somebody elsewhere write we are becoming a nanny state. We've long since been one, this is far tighter control than nanny. I think seat belt era, rules and permissions on many differnt categories that have widely been debated by many of various educational sytstems, which proved in their analysis of those far back times such areas were not truly in need of a FIX. Yet they were imposed. The seat belt is a hugely argued debate, might be a lesser useful point so please don't grab this as it was just one. I will say I come from a medical fam bg and was here to see the results in hospitals before/after - we had less cases than it may say Previous the change that were so awful. Population was much smaller then too ~ less cars. I used to know paramedics who told me getting them outta the belt took time off the clock that was necessary to get them to the hospital .There's pros/cons to everything but those we allow to lead use EVERY opportunity to control by the (H) Tip toe.

If people like teasel could think for themselves, they would be furious that tests weren’t distributed before Christmas, especially since Biden rejected the plan involving having tests ready early. Instead, the deranged Trump haters can’t accept the reality that Biden is a total f*ck up who has lied to them from day one, which was as far back as his nomination. People were running around wearing masks thinking not only that they were protected but were guilted into thinking they were protecting others, while all they were doing was spreading it around more. Then they were duped into thinking that the vaccine would stop the virus with each of them. The ultimate con job. But instead of realizing that the jig is up, they delude themselves into denial. Cognitive dissonance much? We anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers were right all along. IP: Logged |

The most difficult words for anybody to say in any language is: I was wrong. Because they trigger overwhelming emotions of shame and guilt. I have yet to meet a human being including myself for whom this was easy to say. Humans will do all sort of things, including cognitive dissonance and doubling down to avoid facing the fact that they are wrong, even in the face of overwhelming evidence. The thing about eating humble pie is that the pain of eating it is much less than the pain and effort involved in maintaining the facade. Those of us who were right must learn to welcome regular people who admit being wrong, and refrain from doubling down on them. However, we all need to hold a fire to the feet of the media and government and health officials who actively promoted what they knew to be false for the purpose of keeping people in fear and controlled.

Yes! This is ^ 90% of the issue. Those cleaving to beliefs which they learned from a bad source (many in this mess) and are - as I heard it said elsewhere "are too lazy" to read for themselves the opposite view as "correct" - it's a fall from pride to admit when wrong. Believe me in my later years I have and surprised other's when I (have/or do) admit it. Yet there's so many of them boxing themselves in .. once a lie is told long enough it is believed therefore they could really believe or be complete cowards. I'd rather they man/woman and graceful say they were/are wrong and let us all heal. IP: Logged |

I agree. However, there's a difference between being wrong by relying on figures of authority and choosing to remain blissfully blind and ignorant.IP: Logged |

Most people's psyche is too fragile for them to move through the emotions of shame and guilt they would feel. So they will project it outside even more. They might actually double down and in this case, require that since people now have received free N95, they should be wearing them and not cloth masks, and reinstate mask mandates that require N95 for all. How much are you willing to bet some will call for that? I know it sounds crazy, but covid has blurred the line between crazy and rational. IP: Logged |

Ok, but when those no longer choose to remain blissfully blind and ignorant, they should still be welcome, imo. After Germany lost the war, the Allied did not round up the general population of Germany and put them in jail. But they did round up the leaders and held them accountable.

Sad. " Biden administration to distribute 400 million N95 masks to the public for free" Trying to stop covid 19 with an N-95 mask is like trying to stop a flood with a chain link fence. Too porous to stop covid 19.IP: Logged |

Distribute made in America N95s...Can't trust China now. They have lost our trust. They were the victims at first. But just as in law ,ignorance of law doesn't make them innocent. They have done nothing to help the world understand the origin of the virus so that there is a cure. IP: Logged |

I take it back. Nobody is testing anybody these days as everything resets. It is not limited to nations but such things are happening in families too.IP: Logged |

I seriously doubt Biden will actually do this. And why hasn't he already done so? Because he was busy pushing people to wear obedience masks that he knew were completely worthless.  IP: Logged |
