After the Sturgis bike rally helped spread COVID around the country and created a big spike in South Dakota's infection rate the state's governor takes about $5 million in COVID relief funds to run an ad campaign asking people to visit the state..
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is using COVID-19 relief funds to pay for a $5 million tourism ad campaign, despite a surge in coronavirus cases following the Sturgis motorcycle rally
So what? It's a relief fund. You know what I used my Covid relief funds for? I painted my deck.
It's relief fund. You can use it for anything you want. And of course there is a surge of CASES after a rally.
So what?
Do tell... what could they have spent the money on, that would have magically reduced the number of cases? Please, let me hear your brilliant thoughts on this. What magic should they have spent the money on to make Covid go away? Let's hear it.
Buy masks for the stupid MF's
There is zero evidence that masks prevent or slow down, or do anything in stopping Covid-19.
Denmark actually encouraged citizens to NOT wear masks. They have lower levels of infection than we do.
China on other hand, were in fact wearing masks BEFORE the covid-19 outbreak. If the masks prevented the spread of Covid, it should have never spread in China to start with. They've been wearing masks in mass, since SARS.
There is hardly any consistent evidence between countries that had harsh lock down measures, and countries that did not, that correlates to their Covid numbers. Barely any at all.
Some countries had tough measures, and had high numbers, and others low numbers.
Other countries had barely any measures at all, and some had high numbers and some had lower numbers.
Sweden, Denmark, Finland, all did fairly little, and the result was lower rates of infection than the US or the rest of Europe.
UK, Italy and elsewhere, had huge lock down measures, and had massive numbers of Covid patients.
Even within the US, some states that did very little, have had relatively few deaths, and others had massive lock downs, and had huge numbers of deaths.
No evidence to support "masks do anything".
And by the way, you do know that the World Health Organization, said and has maintained that making people wear masks who are not sick.... is not recommended? You do know that right?
So, no. Buying a billion masks would not do anything. No evidence whatsoever that wearing a mask prevents anything. None. Zero. You can't point to a single peer reviewed research paper done anywhere, that suggests mask wearing has any positive effect.
*IF YOU CAN*.... please post a link to such a report, and I will read it. If you post actual scientifically verifiable evidence, I will change my mind. But i want to read the research, and read what they did, how they did it, and who verified it.
Again, all of the fake evidence we've been given so far, has been proven false. Not even a fraction of the number of deaths happened.
In fact, even the deaths that did happen are suspect, because we know that hospitals and clinics were tagging every death they could, as being a covid death, without even verifying the patient had covid.
