Well on that note you could probably get some universal agreement..
in fact I bet, if you asked nicely, some would even voluntarily help you.........
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

If COVID-19 is spreading in your community, stay safe by taking some simple precautions, such as physical distancing, wearing a mask, keeping rooms well ventilated, avoiding crowds, cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue.
Check local advice where you live and work.
Do it all!
What to do to keep yourself and others safe from COVID-19:
- Maintain at least a 1-metre distance between yourself and others to reduce your risk of infection when they cough, sneeze or speak.
- Maintain an even greater distance between yourself and others when indoors. The further away, the better.
- Make wearing a mask a normal part of being around other people.
Here are the basics of how to wear a mask:
- Clean your hands before you put your mask on, as well as before and after you take it off.
- Make sure it covers both your nose, mouth and chin.
- Here are some specifics on what type of mask to wear and when, depending on how much virus is circulating where you live, where you go and who you are.
Wear a fabric mask unless you’re in a particular risk group. This is especially important when you can’t stay physically distanced, particularly in crowded and poorly ventilated indoor settings.
Wear a medical/surgical mask if you:
- Are over 60,
- Have underlying medical conditions,
- Are feeling unwell, and/or
- Are looking after an ill family member.
For more public advice on masks, read our Q&A and watch our videos. There is also a Q&A focused on masks and children.
For health workers, medical masks are essential personal protective equipment when engaging with patients with suspected, probable or confirmed COVID-19.
Respirator masks (such as FFP2, FFP3, N95, N99) should be used in settings where procedures generating aerosols are performed and must be fitted to ensure the right size is worn.

WHO cares! Actually WHO doesn't care.
WHO is a political organization at the top, not a medical one. It's leadership is mostly unqualified medical hacks turned politicians.
WHO has regularly been caught in lying about things when it is politically expedient.
WHO is not a research or academic body that produces any sort of tangible results on anything.
When confronted with the above by detractors, the WHO leadership play the race card regularly

WHO is the sort of useless bureaucracy run by political hacks you can just ignore as they haven't got anything useful to add to the conversation.

Make wearing a mask a normal part of being around other people.
Masks should be used as part of a comprehensive strategy of measures to suppress transmission and save lives; the use of a mask alone is not sufficient to provide an adequate level of protection against COVID-19
Here are the basics of how to wear a mask:
1. Clean your hands before you put your mask on, as well as before and after you take it off.
2. Make sure it covers both your nose, mouth and chin.

Most states now require face masks to reduce the spread of COVID.
While health officials agree face masks help prevent the spread of Covid-19, state and local governments have varied widely on implementation of mask rules. Now, President-elect Joe Biden wants to change that.
President-elect Biden's office has released plans that his administration intends to implement in the beginning of his term, and one is a national mask mandate by working with governors and mayors.
Most states already have some type of mask mandate, but some have no statewide rule -- either leaving it as a recommendation or giving the authority to local officials.
In a speech Monday, President-elect Biden implored Americans to stop politicizing masks and social distancing.
"Please, I implore you, wear a mask," the President-elect said. "Do it for yourself, do it for your neighbor. A mask is not a political statement but it is a way to start pulling the country together."
During the campaign, President-elect Biden spoke of his plan to issue a nationwide mask mandate. Doing so could be challenged in court, though, and in October President-elect Biden said he would go to every governor and urge them to issue mask mandates.
"And if they refuse, I'll go to the mayors and county executives and get local masking requirements in place nationwide," he said.
Because the virus is mainly airborne, face masks are the most effective way to stop person-to-person spread of Covid-19, studies have shown.
"Wearing of face masks in public corresponds to the most effective means to prevent inter-human transmission, and this inexpensive practice, in conjunction with simultaneous social distancing, quarantine, and contact tracing, represents the most likely fighting opportunity to stop the Covid-19 pandemic, prior to the development of a vaccine," researchers agree.

Mask Mandates Work To Slow Spread Of Corona virus, Study Finds
It has become the battle cry of public health officials around the world: "Wear a mask to slow the spread." Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new evidence supporting this advice.
Researchers analyzed coronavirus infection rates following a statewide mask mandate.
They found that jurisdictions that chose to enforce the mandate saw their cases decrease.
Jurisdictions that chose to opt out saw their cases continue to rise.
"This adds to the growing body of evidence that says large, widespread masking helps to slow the spread of COVID," says Dr. Aaron Carroll, a professor at Indiana University School of Medicine.
The findings were consistent with declines in coronavirus cases observed in states and the District of Columbia where masks were mandated, compared with states that didn't require the face coverings.
Along with other mitigation strategies including physical distancing and hand washing, "the decrease in cases among mandated counties and the continued increase in cases in non-mandated jurisdictions adds to the evidence supporting the importance of wearing masks," the CDC says.
The coronavirus is a respiratory virus. It spreads from person to person, primarily via respiratory droplets expelled when we are in close proximity to others. These droplets can hang in the air — especially indoors, in poorly ventilated spaces. So, blocking the dispersion of such droplets with a mask is a good strategy to cut down on transmission. The CDC recently updated its guidance to clarify that masks protect the person wearing the mask as well as other people.
"You wear masks because the evidence suggests it not only protects you from acquiring the infection, but it protects others around you," says Jeffrey Shaman, an infectious disease expert at Columbia University.
He says it's been "incredibly frustrating" to see the use of masks become a partisan wedge issue instead of being seen by everyone as a sensible, public health strategy. "You do it to protect your loved ones, to protect your neighbors. You do it for the good of the country."
Shaman acknowledges that "we're all exhausted by this virus. But the reality is the virus doesn't care. All it looks for is the opportunity to move from person to person," he says.
And a mask is a harmless, cheap way of slowing it down.
