The latest CDC study on mitigation factors is a comedy of stupidity
I'm certain the lecturer is intently nodding as he reads through it

Dominoes baby!
This doesn’t actually say much. For one thing, 20% is still a lot of people, and the sample is not necessarily representative. Second, the spike was expected regardless of measures taken during those months. I’ve been largely silent on COVID because I don’t have much to add to the discussion, but this feels misleading.

"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Imagine if we proposed real solutions as opposed to ineffective masks?

We need more of this in our politics. Trump Jr ain’t the guy but I hope the next to take the mantle pushes this hard.
Does the left want a solution to the healthcare crisis or not? Would be much easier to get Medicare for all if obesity wasn’t the epidemic it is right now.

I can only speak on my experiences, but most since roughly Sept of last year, most places I've gone to that aren't national retailers/chain restaurants, aren't enforcing mask wearing. As such, only about half the people in the store/restaurant wear masks and many of them wear them incorrectly. Also, to state the obvious, mask wearing is only one of the combatants we have to fight the virus.
And then of course schools (both K-12 and Universities) started reopening in person learning during Sept-Oct. And then the holidays started with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas/New Years. When there is higher amount of interaction in society, you would expect cases to rise, regardless of masks wearing or not.
40 percent of Americans are obese. I’m one of them. I agree it’s a problem that needs to be dealt with. It’s a difficult problem. I also doubt conservatives would be on board with a lot of the interventionist types of policies that government might could use to combat it. They’re not going to regulate soda, fast food, and processed foods. They probably will probably not support improving low income access to healthy foods. They’ll blame obesity and then start talking about personal responsibility so they can feel good about themselves. However some of them including Donald Trump are obese.

I have known very few people who actually say that and most obese people constantly think about losing weight.However there are reasons it’s not easy to lose the weight once your body has established it as a baseline. It has a lot in common with addiction.
However this really is an attempt to deflect to a different real problem that it is more politically viable to say the government has no role in. It’s kind of a cop out.
