Fed law would over rule Florida law

:roll:   Look at you pretending like you won't be back on the Trump Train in 2024.  $50 says you're on here in 2024 explaining how you voted for Trump because DeSantis was too liberal.

No, if it's between Trump and DeSantis, I'll go DeSantis every time. More electable (because he's less despised than Trump) in a younger package. No one is going to want to go for another elderly candidate after what Biden will put us through for four years.

There were two reasons: A) They were not yet convinced that the primary route of transmission was through aerosols and B) They wanted to ensure that there were enough masks to supply healthcare workers. Once A) Enough research had been conducted to prove the link between COVID and aerosols and B) Mask production and distribution kicked into overdrive and we had enough to supply the general population, they (like scientists do when they learn things) CHANGED THE GUIDANCE TO ALIGN WITH NEW INFORMATION AND CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES.

But go ahead, keep being totally wrong if that's your thing.

Not sure if you saw the CNN special last night that had interviews with Fauci, Birx, Redfield and others. Was pretty interesting -- makes you really appreciate the impossible situation Birx was in. Both Fauci and Redfield confirmed the driving force was PPE shortages -- they didn't want a run on masks from the public hoarding. Once they determined how wide spread the asymptomatic spread was, that cloth masks were effective, and that healthcare workers had supplies they changed the guidance.

Not sure why you keep giving the clown the attention he so desperately desires.

Someone care to dispute this?

Texas cases are down from what? They were higher yesterday than they were the day before. They had over 3,000 new cases yesterday. Your ridiculous posts about variants have been disproven. People that refuse the vaccine are Trumpbots that will likely die. Not my problem. I'll be fine. 

Most of us are tired of your act. At least KZ is sort of funny with his trolling.

The other interesting thing was Redfield being very assertive that he believes this escaped from a lab. That a normal virus from nature wouldn't jump from animal to human and adapt to human to human transmission so easily. Given all the odd factors of this disease (mainly the asymptomatic spread), I'm starting to think he is right.

Today Texas recorded the lowest 7-day COVID positivity rate since that data began being calculated: 5.43%."

Not quite, variants are a huge problem

I intended to watch that but forgot it was on last night. I'll have to try to catch a replay.

I enjoy exposing fools, especially when their stupid takes are so easily disprovable, but you're right.

Yet you have done no such thing, counter the fact Texas is better off now? you can't, counter that variants are not a huge problem, you can't

I've always thought this. It's just too different than other corona viruses.

I posted that Bill Maher interview from a couple of months ago with an immunologist couple who were still heavily suspicious that this came from a lab. It really made me re-think the situation. WGB continued to express skepticism about the matter. There were a couple odd comments made by them but nothing that would lead me to reject their positions out of hand.

So many unknowns...

Maher had guests on a while back who were saying something similar -- that the virus acts differently than anything else in its family. Like it was designed to spread undetected. 

Doesn't mean it was released on purpose -- could have been an accident. But the logic holds.

That's a lot of maskless winning - almost too much

No one will comment on that, just I am troll blah blah blah, mumbo jumbo Herd Immunity, mumbo jumbo masks then the same 3 people give likes ^_^

I never did. I've only directly confronted you on a claim of yours that was particularly egregious in its being factually incorrect, which was the incredulous statement that "there's no evidence of masks limiting transmission."

The "official" explanation of the origins of this virus still rubs me the wrong way. I'm not a conspirator by any means, but I still think the lab discussion has legs. China's initial cover-up of the severity of the virus and then cawk-blocking the WHO for almost a year should raise eyebrows everywhere.

There is evidence masks are not the savior people think. I asked this before, everyone wearing multiple masks?

Likes don't discriminate, bro.  Likes don't care if it's the same people over and over again.

Texas reported 2,239 new infections Saturday, roughly 500 fewer cases on average from the previous week, according to data from the state’s health department.

Yesterday Texas had 3,293 new cases. Roughly a thousand more than they had on Saturday. Of course Fox news and Abbott are going to spin it. Cases would go down in the warmer weather anyway like they did last summer, but they aren't really going down.

Not to mention even if it were true that Texas is essentially beating covid by doing nothing, it destroys your "we are all going to die from Covidzzzzz" narrative. The weather is getting warmer in Texas and they are vaccinating hundreds of thousands of people a day so the numbers aren't spiking as high as they would have if Abbott  had pulled this stunt in December. 

Studies show that even after the first dose, pfizer is 70% effective in preventing covid infection. In short, your Texas case proves that vaccines are working and the variants aren't a major problem. So give it a rest.

No it doesn't, numbers still are not good, point is states with strict masks mandates are not necessarily doing better. Ok so the numbers over the last few weeks say they are going down but they aren't really
