The bosses still being irresponsible and reckless with the health of the population. “Do what seems best to you, it’s your choice, we wouldn’t dream of telling you what to do, freedom freedom freedom, we couldn’t possibly comment.”
Vice President Mike Pence was asked what message he wanted to offer on wearing masks, as evidence suggests face coverings can limit the spread of coronavirus.
“Well, we think that the first principle is that people ought to listen to their state and local authorities,” the vice president said, declining to offer a federal endorsement on wearing masks.
What kind of stupid “first principle” is that? It’s geographic, it’s not a principle. The virus is the virus, it doesn’t care about state and local and national. How about just giving the best medical advice and never mind whether it’s local or national?
Assholes.
Pence has jumped onboard the Trump train, and he is going to ride it right off the cliff.
Rules based on geography are particularly useless for people living around the edges. Wales has got a 5-mile travel limit (not that many people care) but can we keep people from Birmingham or Liverpool off our beaches? Nope. Some daft woman posted a video a couple of weeks ago of herself arguing with police officers who were trying to get her to go home. “Boris says I can go to the beach” she kept saying. “Not in Wales you can’t”, they kept telling her. Eventually it became clear that she was unaware of the difference between England and Wales. Sigh. I used to have to try and explain this to German people, I see now how futile it was when even in the UK there are people who don’t know this.
