Why do you continue to peddle this false narrative that masks don't work?

Are you really so arrogant that you think you know more than the Center for Disease Control? Are you really so vain that you think you're smarter than the American Medical Association?

Do tell.

Masks may slow the spread, but they’re not going to magically stop Covid. It’s going to run it’s course regardless

I wish I could share details from our Pediatric hospital. It's sickening.

I don't know what made you choose to be a pediatric doctor but God bless you. I don't do kids for a reason. I would imagine things are still going to get worse if we don't go back to some sense of normality. Kids shouldn't live in fear.

Because we've had a mask mandate since June and our numbers continue to rise, the virus is going to do what a virus does

Not to mention that New Zealand, New York, Australia and California are 4 entities that have had the most stringent lockdowns and their numbers still spiked.

To the OP's original question. No, if the Democrats instituted a national lockdown they would ensure gains in the Senate and House for the Repubs and give away the next election.

Biden Covid advisor says U.S. lockdown of 4 to 6 weeks could control pandemic and revive economy

Shutting down businesses and paying people for lost wages for four to six weeks could help keep the coronavirus pandemic in check and get the economy on track until a vaccine is approved and distributed, said Dr. Michael Osterholm, a coronavirus advisor to President-elect Joe Biden.
Osterholm, who serves as director of the Center of Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said earlier this week that the country is headed toward “Covid hell.” Cases are rising as more people grow tired of wearing masks and social distancing, suffering from so-called “pandemic fatigue,” he said Wednesday. Colder weather is also driving people indoors, where the virus can spread more easily.

A nationwide lockdown would drive the number of new cases and hospitalizations down to manageable levels while the world awaits a vaccine, he told Yahoo Finance on Wednesday.

“We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers, for losses to small companies, to medium-sized companies or city, state, county governments. We could do all of that,” he said. “If we did that, then we could lock down for four to six weeks.”

Osterholm was appointed to Biden’s 12-member Covid “advisory board” on Monday. The panel of advisors is co-chaired by former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner David Kessler and Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith of Yale University. Other task force members include Dr. Atul Gawande, a professor of surgery and health policy at Harvard, and Dr. Rick Bright, the vaccine expert and whistleblower who resigned his post with the Trump administration last month.

What say ye? Would you listen to our government and comply, or if not, why?

I'm sick of hearing this ****. I have a coworker that's in ICU now from this crap. He was exposed by older family member who wouldn't wear mask and that person is now on vent.
Wear a frigging mask. If it helps even moderately, so be it. I'm not surprised to see rise in cases. I've seen the lapse in caution and people outright throwing caution to the wind.

And right now he’s a former Vice President in between jobs. He’s not even the President-elect and won’t be until the EC votes.

Heh. You wish.

Biden is President-Elect now.

"The president-elect of the United States is the person who conclusively appears to have won a presidential election in the United States but has yet to take office as President."

But, I'm sure you think Trump will somehow steal the election with an end-around. Ain't happening, bro.

Thank you!

The PF has a number of full-on "Special Olympic Participants" that would debate the color white if Trump said it was blue.

Fortunately, kids' time in the White House is over. The adults are coming back to drive the bus, per usual.

I’m not a Trump supporter. He lost and he and his supporters need to come to terms with that.

I’m glad you found the definition of “president-elect” it shows you’re a little more evolved than I previously thought.

I wear a mask at work and I wear a mask into businesses that require it. I social distance. I still got it. Masks aren’t going to stop it and neither will draconian lockdowns.
