You just cited a Vanity Fair article? Lol......that perfectly sums up your existence on this board.

Possibly. Any chance the decline is in part due to people getting sick with what traditionally would have been classified as flu now being classified as "presumed" Covid 19?

Newsflash, picking an occupation where you will be surrounded by 20-30 booger picking kids all day might not be the best field if you have a compromised immune system. This is nothing new. What is new is that many of those teachers got a taste of working from home.

That would just drive home the point even more. Younger healthy people aren't at any meaningful risk

Dodging the question again. Textbook labeling someone a racist with zero to back it up. We will accept your non answer as an admission that you were wrong. Moving on.

You are the one obsessed with a message board full of mostly "hermit" North Dakotans......who's the idiot?

Maybe he still isn't Zoltan.

We are talking nursing homes so inevitably some of those are over 80. Don't change the subject though, if masks work why have nursing homes been hit so hard with the high level of mask compliance they have there? (And those are real masks....not cut off tshirt sleeves).

Shows that frail/elderly/already sick people are vast majority that are affected. Unfortunately for you, real logic does seem twisted to you.

It's the one place where mask wearing has been 100% compliant, or at least closest to it. Shouldn't have been any deaths or at least a very low number of masks work.

Approximately 77% of MN Covid deaths have been in nursing/long term care homes. Places where even for "milder" outbreaks like flu outbreaks masks are worn by staff and visitors are restricted. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.twincities.com/2020/07/21/mn-gov-walz-battle-plan-coronavirus-deaths-in-long-term-care/amp/ Ineffective?

Keeping in mind that if they change their mind again on wearing a mask you can simply just take yours off.....but with a hastily thrown together vaccine you can't just take it back out of your body.

Hayduke=Trump=Mask wearer. Glad to see you are obeying and in compliance with your leader's request.

More evidence that there is strong likelihood that it is aerosol which would make wearing cloth masks the equivalent of trying to keep mosquitos away from you by wearing a fishing net on your head. https://news.yahoo.com/scientists-report-airborne-coronavirus-probably-infectious-090340015.html

White supremacists? Because he doesn't agree with you or do you have actual facts/statements to back that up? And while there are idiots on both sides when it comes to the debate....the ironic thing is if there was actually a dumpster (or anything else) on fire there really wouldn't be a mystery which side set it a blaze.

I think most everyone on here would be all for legal immigration of 1% per year......assuming of course that buckling down hard on illegal immigration goes right along with that. 1% might be a tad high but most don't have an issue with immigration done the right way.

Ahhh the old drinking and driving example.....another weak comparison on your part (which we are all getting used to). If I don't drink and drive....that guarantees that I won't hit you with my car while I'm drunk........100% guaranteed........On the flip side, fora required non-medical grade fabric face mask to be effective you would 1) Need to depend on someone wearing it correctly (including people that can't get out of bed in the morning without someone telling them how to do it) 2) Need some measure of thickness to the fabric (guess what....those cool under armour ones you could spit a lougie through if you wanted to they Are so breathable 3) Need guarantees that Covid isn't spread via aerosol (still very much up in the air) 3) Hope that you don't touch the same knob, handle, rail, etc that said person that put their mask on wrong touched just before you did.....etc. All in the name of buckling the economy for a virus that 99.9% of the population will never suffer any I'll effects of.

They more than appreciate your gesture.

Probably when he earned his MD from UND.

Nope. Just drowning in facts. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/X56rQkDgd0qqB7R68t6t7C/seven-things-you-need-to-know-about-antifa

You think Antifa just started during the Trump administration? Lol.

This thread hasn't been around for years.....only seems like it. Name-calling is a good way to instantly discredit any point you may have....both sides. In my opinion one side is more prone to defaulting to the practice than the other, but that's probably besides the point. When I see someone use the word "libtard" I just roll my eyes because it just reinforces the stereotype of the right and /or Trump supporters that the media so desperately wants you to believe applies to everyone in those categories.

Actually most people have an issue with using the word "retard" or any abbreviated form of it (and have for the last 30+ years). That goes for many people on the right and left. It is just as offensive to someone that is developmentally challenged (and their parents) as a racial slur is. Try to show a little more maturity in your conversation.

Talking out of your rear again.....because it's almost all political at this point. Don't be a hypocrite and try to make it sound otherwise. At least Oxbow helps put the Covid, and in this case the double standards that exist when it comes to media reporting crime, into perspective for people like yourself that aren't equipped to do so.

Typical emotional response dodging the question when things get inconvenient. Deep down, if you are assuming that Chauvin 100% only did what he did because Floyd is black......do you honestly believe that Dilorenzo and his wife being old and white played no role in 2 black teenagers picking them as marks?
