    We should just close our airspace for the next 30 days. Problem solved

    If only we had some sort of force specifically geared to guard that space. Like guardians in the Space Force or something.

    We didn’t have that on 9/11 but was easily able to close our airspace

    Your recent exchanges with @G8trGr8t have been not only rude, but hypocritical. Before accusing others of hypocrisy, you might check yourself. After all, you've offered up the following . . .
    Thanks also for your medical expertise . . .

    so you think it’s a hoax? And docs and nurses are lying to increase payouts to their orgs?

    If Christmas / NYD are twice the super spreaders that T-day was, we could be looking at almost 500k/day by mid Jan and our hospitals destroyed by Feb 1.

    Be safe people.

    Yeah I know, I was one of the guys that closed it.
    Would have been so much easier with Guardians.

    No not a hoax, it's real. I've stated numerous times that it's like the flu and I still think that. Do I think some doctors and nurses have lied or exaggerated this, absolutely. Is it wide spread, no

    I give you and others the same respect you've given me. Show me some and I'll do the same.

    I get what you're saying and I've followed the guidelines in Florida, I still don't think it's necessary for those who are healthy to wear mask.

    As for pointing fingers, that's the only way to get several on this boards attention on how rude and arrogant they are to others

    so how does one know whether or not they are asymptomatic? I know I can get tested to see if i'm negative but getting the test doesnt make me immune. So would i need to be tested every day so that I would know that I dont have the virus and therefore, no risk to spreading to others. This way I would no longer need to wear a mask?

    Florida's vaccine plan is different than CDC's. 65+ will be in the first wave. IMO, this makes a lot of sense. 65+ is 20% of Florida's population and 80+% of COVID fatalities.

    You can't stop the spread. If you're really concerned just continue wearing a mask and follow the guidelines

    This will be the far rights equivalent of the greatest generation. Except there won’t be any storming of beaches or sacrifices at home. Their crowning achievement will be denying science behind a keyboard and not wearing a mask to the Waffle House.
    Don’t step on snake.

    If you think it’s only far right then SMDH. I’m witnessing both right and left, young adults and teenagers.

    It’s the “far right” that’s too stupid to shut up about it. The other classes just ignore the rules quietly and move on.

    There are certainly some teens out there that ignore rules (you know they have political affiliations too, don't you? You can be a teen or young adult and be liberal or conservative or something in between). Mask wearing and whether corona is real or not can be fairly predicted on how you vote, and that just amazes and saddens me. Trump has told his lemmings masks are bad and the virus is fake news and of course they will march in lock step.

    I haven't been to a waffle house in a long time but I always remembered them being really good after drinking all night.
    You're such angry liberal
