    Approved in England, yet sat for over 10 days before they addressed receiving the data, if there was ever a time for transparency and daily briefing this is it, yet not coming from the FDA.

    Let’s see changes subject, deflects are you trolling?

    Pointing out the variables left out in your claim.

    1. Summer vs winter
    Being outside way safer than inside
    2. Least here restaurants and bars were still shut down or outside dining only.
    3. None of us know data of how infections happen, mainly because no state has enough contact traces.
    4. Holidays and people are visiting house holds.

    That’s just 4 variables left out of your blanket statement.

    I bet if we look at bars restaurants being open in would coincide with the rise of cases.

    If I was a betting man we would see the rise of families spreading it in house holds. My sisters husband family all got it at one get together. 10 people, but that’s not enough data to make a claim. Just like 5000 cases a day = mask don’t work. You’ll keep making the claim that’s fine, just pointing it’s bogus until we have all the data.

    Minnesota mask mandate started way before the cold weather indoor season and the increase in positive tests, could be from more testing. Personal responsibility is a lost art. I had Thanksgiving at my home had my kids their spouses my grandson and parents. Every person tested negative in the days up to Thanksgiving. Yeah went against gov't mandate but we all took responsibility to make sure we were all safe to attend. People are so reliant on the Govt and believe what the media reports without seeing the spin.

    I am anti mask but I wear a mask. I am a business owner and if we do not have a mask policy and enforce it I can get fined or shut down, when I am in public and I go in a business I wear a mask out of respect for a fellow business owner. Do I agree with it no but see it as a short term tax I have to pay.

    I bet in assisted living they are all wearing masks and PPE how are those numbers looking? Then again assisted living is actually waiting to die.

    Does not matter to me, it is very rare that we go out for dinner and we are not going to go hang out in a bar either. It was late July before the places in town opened the 2 bar restaurants.

    I have a question for you, evertime you go in a big box store are people wearing mask? I believe before you stated they seem pretty compliant in those setting.

    That would be a case someone makes above, 1 variable people wearing mask at stores = no spread.

    What about not being around someone for 15 mins within 6ft, which is one of the standards here to be quarantined.

    Where are people most likely to be around another person within 6ft and no mask.

    A grocery store or a bar?

    A half million vaccines for health care and elderly arriving in VA in a few weeks. I hope this starts a domino effect for covid.

    The Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) has a 60day wait period, for any side effects from trials to manifest. Won't be anything to see for a while.

    Hudson WI a border town not from from the Twin Cities is going to have a bar curfew closing at 10:00 because of Minnesota chuckleheads heading over to the open Wisconsin bars.
