The scary part is that this is not the second wave we've heard about - this is a continuation of the first wave. The second wave will be in the winter.
I watched video of a public hearing in Palm Beach County yesterday in which the commissioners voted unanimously to make face masks mandatory, and the people commenting publically all seemed to be batsh*t crazy. It's no wonder FL has such an increase.
At the COVID task force briefing today, Pence refused to use the word "face mask" when talking about the CDC recommendations. He did, however, say at least 4 times that we should pray over this. There are 125,000 Americans dead; prayer is not working. It reminded me of the story of the guy whose house was flooded and he was stranded on the roof. A boat shows up and offers to take him to safety, but he declines, saying he is relying on prayer. Then a helicopter shows up to lift him to safety, but he declines and continues praying. And as he is praying, a voice comes from the clouds and says. "Look, I sent you a boat, and then I sent you a helicopter. What else do you want me to do??"
The message is clear - pray if you want to. Just. Wear. A. Mask. |
