If masks and other government policies work, how do you explain this?

[ExpressLane]

Last time I was in San Felipe you had to buy toilet paper before stepping into the shitter. That was in the 80’s however.

That stinks.

It was declared by Congress. They used the term 'authorization to use military force'. That is declaring a war.

There is a legal difference between the two.

One of my coworkers a few years ago was a Korean vet and that''s what he told me.

He would be wrong.

ETA: I believe he said he didn't qualify for VA benefits.

Since he lied about that, it may be quite possible he was never a Korean war vet nor in the military at all. He's just making it all up. People do that, you know.

 

[Into the Night]

I couldn't tell you what he did or where he was. That was over 10 or so years ago, he just said he didn't get the VA benefits.

Personally, I think he's making it all up. I doubt he was ever in the military or the Korean war.

Careful; Jerome got a 7 day vacation for making comments like that, and I believe that Phantasmal is itching to avenge her fellow leftist's humiliation.

...and what forum rule is bring broken here??

 

[Into the Night]

So, show proof Congress declared war. I’ll wait.

Already done. RQAA.

 

[Into the Night]

Do you have proof? I’d love to see it.

Repetitive Question Already Answered. RQAA

None. Authorizing expenditure of military force upon another nation is a declaration of war. It doesn't matter what some bureaucracy wants to try to call it. False authority fallacy.

 

[Phantasmal]

None.

You didn’t read the article, did you

...and what forum rule is bring broken here??

That's not for me to decide; however, Rule 12b leaves considerable scope for interpretation if a moderator is so inclined.

I guess since there have been no wars since WWII. After the last WWII vet dies they can just lock the doors at the VFW.

A surgical mask is nothing more than a regular N95 mask treated with a biocide. They are good for about a couple of hours after opening them. After that, they are just like any other N95 mask.
Surgical masks are somewhat effective against bacteria due to this treatment, but that only lasts for a couple of hours. None of these masks are effective against viruses at all.

An N95 mask is also considered a 'respirator' by the industry. Canister masks, such as used by painters, are also ineffective against viruses. The charcoal canisters won't stop a virus. Compressed air masks do not stop a virus either. The compressor filters are ineffective against a virus. Oxygen masks are not tight fitting. Full gas masks, such as used in chemical exposure and bio and chemical warfare, are effective, the these masks are heavy, awkward, hot, and uncomfortable. They are also expensive. I know. I have to wear one of these bastards on certain jobs when I'm installing industrial equipment.

N95 masks are dust masks. They are good against particulates 3 microns and larger. Viruses are much smaller than this. Cloth masks are even worse than N95 masks. The only thing cloth masks are really good for is wetting them and using them against smoke long enough to get out of a fire, looking like a hypochondriac dork, or robbing banks and convenience stores.

I worked in surgery for years. Surgical mask are not 95 masks.

It was an invasion like Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc., it we mistakenly refer to them as wars, don’t we.

So Reagan didn't start a war. And you were wrong to suggest the invasion of Grenada or bombing of Libya qualified as wars that Reagan started.

Yes, I was, Grenada was an invasion and bombing Libya was aggressive retaliation

Do you actually have a circle of friends who laugh at this shit?

"He's a dude, get it? And I called him a girl!! Awwwahahhahahaah!!!!"

I keep hearing "population density".

Isn't California the 12th most densely populated state in the Union? That kind of kills the population density excuse.

LA and SF are two of the most densely populated cities in the U.S., and they have some combined 20 million people in their metro areas.

Kinda kills whatever dipshit argument you were attempting to make.

 

[Jerome]

Is that so, forum rule-abuser?

California is the 12th most densely populated state in the Union.

https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/most-densely-populated-u-s-states.html

The deaths are being tallied by state per 1000,000, not by MSA.

BTW, rule-breaker, California cities don't even make the list of most densely populated cities in the USA.

https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-most-dense-cities-in-the-united-states.html

Nor do any California cities appear in the list of most population-dense cities in the world, ban boy"

SF County is #5 in the US -- and most densely populated county outside of NY.

Seven of the top 15 most densely populated incorporated places in the US are in CA, including 6 in LA's metro area:

It has nothing to do with counties, ban boy.

First you tried to claim that the most densely populated cities are in California.

They aren't.

What's next? Zip codes?

Do you really not fucking understand how people live? They're not evenly spread out through the San Joaquin valley, shirtbird. They live in cities. Very cramped, densely populated cities. THAT'S why the virus spreads quickly there. That, and dipshit republicans who refuse to accept basic biology.
