    No, but I also don't believe every country is not, wouldn't it be nice to go to a ball game?

    Once again, they probably suffered from bigtime Covid a long time ago. Now when it hits the US, the media blows up and starts hammering. Making us out to be a craphole because of Trump, because Americans are selfish, etc. This a big political game revolving around the very real covid problem. I am not saying we are doing great with handling covid, but I am certain people and countrys are shady and lie.

    Yes it was July not June and 3 times more people died from the flu and pneumonia vs the covid virus. If only in the US there was a place to get accurate numbers.

    Consider, two things :
    1) Americans are disproportionately obese, this manifests itself in all forms of high(er) risks and potential complications.

    2) The government has created a (financial) discentive to accurately, truthfully count cases, hospitalizations and deaths, effectively through 'reimbursements'... Not unlike the inventives Wells Fargo gave their employees for opening accounts.

    Well that's because no one died from the flu this year, or heart disease or car accidents. Only covid and wicked white cops

    Point C is crap. They can and do transmit well. A co-workers kid (8 years old) has it. Got it from other 8-9 year old kids playing ball. Over 20% of the league has it and the rest are on quarantine for this week. A couple of the parents got it now.

    Our county had 18 cases 3 weeks ago. We are at 140+ today. Nearly 90% are 18 and younger. Grad parties and some idiot throwing a Prom was the cause in most of the 16-18 year olds cases.

    Sounds like a mask mandate is coming for all of Minnesota from Gov Walz. People are going to melt down. Up here there are yard signs for recall Walz, he is not beloved in outstate Minnesota. People in Lake of the Woods county that have not had a single case of covid now wearing masks because some dolt in the cities says they need to be kept safe.

    We are just Rocks and Cows. Royalton is covered in the recall Walz/Rocks and Cows signs.

    No one will follow this mandate in central MN. 0 . Zilch. They will survive off of the small town stores that have not been enforcing the mask rule the entire time.

    You know I see the recall walz sighs all over and the rocks and cows bumper stickers too. I have to admit I love living there.

    Now Ohio joins the club mask mandate blanket approach., not sure what all the folks in southern Michigan will do now

    Also he took a step further and stated one should quarantine if traveling to the yellow states or coming from. Here comes state vs state bs now.
