    I find it just as ironic that Democrats don’t only bitch about having to wear masks, they don’t. Them not wearing a mask will prolong this and continue to impact the economy. Not wearing a mask hurts them and their family. By their actions they encourage others not to wear a mask. When I told them Trump doesn’t wear a mask either, I got the stink eye. Lol

    Dems not wearing a mask also hurts trumps presidency. I’m not actually sure you understand the term ironic.
    You know it’s not the same thing as hypocrisy, right?

    Anyone that complains about others not wearing masks and then turns around and goes out without one is a hypocrite.

    That’s weird that they are your friends but you have to guess that they are over 70.
    You have a smart ass remark about, here it goes, talking, but you are not even sure they are over 70. You need to work on your listening skills.
    While I don’t sit around and discuss exact birthdays, I could tell you most of my friend’s ages to within a year or two. It doesn’t take a “rocket surgeon”.

    OT but I did notice that the flight attendants on both my flights were younger and hot. Maybe just got lucky :devil:

    really a mixed bag today. had 33,539 new cases, but did a record 610,000 tests, still only a 5.5% positive, and just 719 new deaths, continuing that downward trend.a little concerning that ny, tennessee, and south carolina, plus georgia had 1,000 plus new cases.

    The science on mask wearing is not political. the meta analysis of the studies universally shows that wearing mask reduces disease spread, including COVID 19.

    Ignorance, stupidity, arrogance, selfishness, cruelty and mental illness has made such an effective tool "political."

    Teams are back in voluntary camp. A full finish to the season is expected to start in late July at two locations. That will push the 20/21 season back. But who even knows anymore. :(

    Sure there is. You could say the number only or use a different word. If possible it would be interesting to ask one of the kids whose mom or dad died and see how the “just” plays out.

    The context is 719 families were irreparably changed. Hopefully people don’t drive by a horrible Car accident and say “well, I just saw two bodies in the road”.

    You could take the commentary out and just state the numbers. Nothing else is needed.
