D&D and the rising pandemic

[Levistus's_Leviathan]

I see my fellow citizens are getting tired of wearing masks, and choosing not to, which is starting to irritate me. I want to go find a good T shirt that says, "Just wear the darn mask, already" or some other similar piece of wisdom in large, friendly letters to wear when I go out for a walk.

In my town, practically no one is wearing masks. It's really irritating, and more than just that. It's disgusting. I would buy one of those T-shirts if I could find one.

Yes, I know that probably means I'll get punched in the face or shot by some numbnut....

Seems possible, with how people are acting in America right now. There was that security guard shot because they wouldn't let someone in a store without a mask, there was that couple that pointed a gun at peaceful protesters, and other examples.

Since Gov. Abbot made the masking order statewide- about damn time- compliance has skyrocketed. Still seeing occasional Karen’s & Kens, but fewer people simply eschewing masks.

First Walmart, and now Target and CVS have also gone to "you must wear a mask in this store". If Walmart actually enforces, that's apt to give everyone an easier time of it in the long run.

Just so I have this right.

Trump has now pulled the US out of WHO. And is now stripping out the CDC. Do I have this right?

It is my understanding as well that the task of collecting the data was given to a private company and will then funnel that data to HHS under Azar who would then either determine who needs the data or present it. That part isn't clear.

I think it is pretty dumb to add additional moving parts to this, especially as the CDC already has the history and experience of collecting and interpreting the data. A lot of fears that there could be an attempt to step away from transparency, as well as the wisdom in giving the data collection task to a commercial entity.

Data is already starting to disappear. In the face of a global pandemic, this sort of information control and cleansing is abhorrent.

It's just a matter of time before they report in daily increases of Covid-19 cases as: "VIRUS IS GONE, STOP TESTING FOR IT!"

Well when you have people who comment about someone in Wal-Mart not wearing a mask and having a gun pulled on them....
