I feel like I could... TAKE ON THE WORLD!!
Absolutely and it looks like its coming.
What is bad, again, is the glacial pace it is taking to happen. If its going to happen, what is taking so long? The shops are already open!

Yup, yet again, our government is late.
Late to close schools.
Late to lock down.
Late to get PPE
Late on testing
Late on track and trace
And now late on masks.

The whole sh1tshow of this goverment is a discrace,Johnson on saying we need to be wearing masks then a couple of days later Gove saying no need,just trust peoples common sense.I seriously don't get it,I mean not that I'm biased against the Tories 😁 but what is this "nobody's going to tell me to wear one" Am I missing something or is there a downside to wearing them ?

Sorry if I reacted too much too: I can be a bit protective of my clients. My rather poorly expressed concern was that because they see Germany going back to something like normal, they are relaxing and assuming the danger is past.
We have clients in protected accommodation, one of the largest centres for people with psychological issues in our state is in the same town. That one went into immediate lockdown in March and stayed that way until about a week ago. It's huge; the size of a village with, and it even has its own fire department, but still, it would have been a tough few months.
We had a C-19 case in a smaller organisation and they went into lockdown for two weeks. thankfully our clients recovered (hopefully).

Maybe he’s concerned enough for others that he doesn’t want to be an unnecessary transmission vector.

So many people think they are a special case. "I'm not in a high risk age group/have no underlying medical condition/exercising my right to not wear a mask/etc/etc/ so I'll be all right." Well, see the above. People need to wise up. With the increasing knowledge of the unpredictability of the virus in individual cases, it is becoming apparent that anybody could be in a high risk group. Just assume anyone could have it, even with no symptoms, it's still infectious. Wash your hands. Wear a mask. Exercise social distancing.
Just man up (or woman up) and grow some! (social responsibility, that is). It's not rocket science. For others if not for yourselves.
No more of this endless whining, I can't or won't do this that or the other because ... Just do it!

I am glad that is what you meant and happy to admit I was confused by your wording in the reply to AiG.

No, you didn't over react at all. I didn't realize at first who your "clients" were. If anyone is guilty of poorly expressing themselves it's me.
To shift the convo just a little bit, today drumpf was tweeting that everyone is lying about the covid-19 in order to sabatoge the economy and his -re-election. He's saying ..."the CDC, our doctors and Democrats are lying to keep the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I'm sick of it." Amazing that he's claiming Fauci and the CDC are politically motivated when all they are trying to do is save lives. In typical fashion HE is the one making it about the election. As far as drumpf is concerned, what's a few thousand more lives so long as I can get re-elected? But what makes this tweet so outrageous and yet fitting is that he is quoting Chuck Woolery, a game show host. drumpf won't listen to the experts, the scientists, the people who understand immunology and have spent their careers trying to save lives, but he will listen to a game show host. You can't make this stuff up if you tried.

I hope that the people in charge of the Democratic campaign are building up all this evidence of his duplicity and downright lies and dishonesty and go in hard with it for the rest of the campaign. They have to fight fire with fire as the stakes are just too high for the US to let him "win" again.
The dirty tricks of him and his team to discredit Fauci are beneath contempt....at least by the standards of previous presidents, even Republican ones.

I've felt the same thing. That he needs to be beaten at his own game. And it's not like he isn't giving them a ton of material to use. I think the best example of a group hitting him below the belt is The Lincoln Project. These are some ads that they have been airing. The wonderful yet suprising thing is The Lincoln Project is by a group of Republicans who want drumpf out. My only question is why aren't the democrats doing something similar?
