All the kids in that fifth grade class are now quarantined to stay home. My grand daughter is in kindergarten. All the kids are required to wear masks all day long and there are only around 12 kids per class. I suppose we are lucky it has only been one over the past month they have been in school. My worry is that it is only the beginning. Plano School system. They have been real cautious. I have my doubts about masks but have to admit I am glad the kids are required to wear them at school. It fits into my "well it can't hurt" category.

Praying you & yours stay safe & well!

I don’t care if you wear a mask. I choose to wear it but I’d rather keep it as a choice, not a mandate. Makes sense?

Back to topic.

Tucker: Mainstream media enraged by Trump's positive COVID message

“Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life,” Mr. Trump said in a tweet in which he announced his plans to head home and praised drugs currently under development to treat the disease. “I feel better than I did 20 years ago!”

. Trump supporters close 5th Ave. to support COVID-19-stricken president

. “There were a lot of cops [but] there was no trouble,” said a local security guard, who estimated she saw the caravan blocking Fifth Avenue almost 10 blocks from 54th to around 62nd Street. “It was peaceful, no stress. Nobody was hassling anybody,” she said of the loud show of support.

Trump Makes First Public Appearance Since Being Admitted for Treatment of COVID-19

THE ENGINEER wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 3:15 pm This has nothing to do with hiding in a basement, giving up freedom, or living as sheep. It’s the irrational thought that everything being asked of a person is an attack on their freedom or rights that’s contributing to the situation we are now in. Making temporary sacrifices for the overall greater good is far more patriotic than arguing over silly things like wearing a mask while in public places. There are many smart people in this world who have dedicated their lives to solving complex problems. Trump could have collaborated with them and developed a more responsible and reasonable plan than he chose.

Carry on folks. I’m off to enjoy this nice weather.

THE ENGINEER wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:19 am I feel folks have chosen to abandon reasonable and logical approaches to helping slow the spread of this virus because of politics. Many only see red or blue, they fail to see the rest of the spectrum. They’ve limited their ability to gather their own facts and analyze them. They have chosen to only believe what the red side says or what the blue side says.

Trump is the President of the United States. He could have easily obtained N95 masks or better all day long for himself and staff. Would masks alone have been enough, probably not. Would more drastic or intelligent measures taken in addition to consistently wearing proper masks have been enough, quite possibly. As the POTUS, protecting himself should have been a greater priority than he made it though. At the end of the day Trump had access to the smartest people not only in our country, but other countries as well. If he had chosen to utilize those resources in a truly collaborative effort we would all be better off than we are now.

The POTUS,FLOTUS, and multiple other staffers close to the president becoming infected should be a wake call that the approach taken thus far has been ineffective and a new strategy is needed.

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-c ... fo-2020-10

White House physician Sean Conley said Trump has received an injection of eight grams of Regeneron's drug, which is a combination of two antibodies, and is called REGN-COV2....

Regeneron, a New York biotech firm, started clinical trials on June 11 for the experimental treatment, and recently reported some promising signs that the treatment can reduce help people's immune systems fight the virus and reduce the chance that they'll be hospitalized.

The AP Newswire is also reporting application of "an experimental treatment," but they haven't as yet named it as being the Regeneron product.

Er... What's with the "abbreviated profanity deleted" thing in the URL? It's a Business Insider news article and there's no profanity in the link.

Rafe wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 12:57 pm Just got off the phone with a friend who's a Biden supporter. He actually said--evidently with a straight face based on the conversation--that his suspicion was that Trump got infected intentionally so that he could get some "sympathy votes," and so the he wouldn't have to debate Biden in event #2.

Remain calm.

Exactly! But the positive test, symptoms or not, have a huge impact on his ability to campaign at a very crucial point in the process. MSM is already pumping the angle of him not wearing a mask. What a bunch of jerks!

"Pumping," or not, it is a fact. Leadership carries risks, if you do in fact, lead from the front, but this was a high-risk decision.

No it was not. A mask WOULD NOT have prevented him getting Covid. A mask is at best thought to possibly prevent one from spreading it. Again! A MASK DOES NOT PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING COVID!

Yes, sir, by the CDC's own guidelines, you are correct. Only a properly worn mask DESIGNED to exclude virus particles will aid in prevention for the wearer. The other masks people are urged to wear are to help prevent THEM from potentially spreading it to others via droplets if they are infected but do not know it.

If wearing a cheap mask prevents the spread of Covid by an infected person, and an N95 or similar mask prevents the wearer from contracting (and spreading) Covid the end result should be far fewer infections if everyone wore a mask of some sort. So how is asking everyone to wear a mask a bad thing?
