  703. It's called a narcissist. He's got the classic victimhood of narcissism too, where everyone's out to get him and it's not his fault he - achieved the worst infection in world, - through inaction and misinformation caused more deaths than vietnam did, - lost a trade war he started, - got caught trying to bribe a foreign nation, - lost the house, - was impeached by the house, - built next to no wall, - caused a government shutdown by his own admission, - imprisoned children and orphaned them, - sacked nearly everyone he employed, - undermined journalism, by his own admittance so that he could get away with lying so much, - doomed the US's allies the Kurds, to death, - made no progress with North Korea after sucking up to the (other) worst man in the world, - pulled out of climate agreements that the rest of the world were in, - restarted Iran's Nuclear program, - personally gave state secrets to Russians in the whitehouse, - is the most unpopular president statistically since polls began, - failed to deliver a health plan, - failed on his promise to repeal ACA, - used his office to make money personally, - physically pushed world leaders aside to preen himself on the world stage, - looked directly into the sun, - encouraged white supremacy, - lied about critical weather warnings to cover up his mistakes, - left his own country without aid after hurricanes, - has presided over the biggest falls in the stock market ever, - has presided over the biggest rise in unemployment ever, - tried to use the nation's own armies against its people, - suggested injecting bleach, - suggested using a nuclear weapon against a hurricane, - massively increased taxpayer's debt and is now trying to steal an election with zero evidence. What a poor weak loser. so much losing. I'm tired of losing.

  818. here's a transcript. I'm a bit worried you keep saying he's intelligible but it's just dialect. It is understandable by a lot of people. Saying it's intelligible underestimates the impact that walker is actually having and comes across as a bit upper-class-elitist 1:09 "and he even paid himself childcare" - he's saying warnok benefitted corruptly from benefits warnok put in place "all that stuff" - and et cetera; "and why doesn't he keep his own kids; dont have nobody keep your kids, you keep your kid; he's got somebody else" - warnok got child care to look after his children and is a bad father because he didn't look after them himself "I keep my own, even though he lied about me" - I looked after my children and warnok lied saying I didn't "but it's ok! its ok because he's trying to get your vote - don't let him trick you trying to get your vote" - they're lying about my children to get your vote, but don't let them trick you 3:03 " I can promise you, Iran-Russian, they're not talking about charging a tank right into a dessert, they're talking about war" - Russia's looking to have war with the US, not just attacking minor local powers "and let me tell you this here" - and another thing: "if we was ready for the green agenda I would raise my hand right now" - I agree with green ideals in principle "but we're not ready right now" - but technologically the USA does not have the ability to fully switch to a green economy "so don't let them fool you that this is a new agenda, this is not a new agenda, we're not prepared we're not ready right now" - democrats are using an old trick of promising a green economy when it's not possible "what we need to do is having those gas guzzling cars" - fossil fules are still a necessity "we've got good emission out of those cars" - western petrol/diesel cars have been advanced enough to significantly reduce their emissions impact "we're doing the best thing that we can" - given the necessity of fossil fuels, the west are at least doing their part for the environment by reducing car emissions "but we need help, and those other people not helping us, china not helping us, india not helping, but yeah, we gotta do it all" - other countries are not contributing to help the climate crisis "cos they're spending your money" - usa taxpayers are bearing the burden of alleviating the climate crisis, and india and china are effectively spending your money to do it instead of contributing themselves

  846. Yes, I would - and it appears most of the UN also support some sort of action. Sanctions do not mean war. War is usually, something like, annexing by force. Or a sharp rise in attacks on information infrastructure. Or flying nuclear bombers barely into european airspaces. Or entering a warzone with an ally then turning on their ally's ally. Oh, have you been paying attention? Russia already did these. Europe and the US are already in a cold war, with NATO actually stationing troops in the Baltics at the request of the governments there because they believe Russia will invade them. Sanctions are the peaceful option to discourage material aggression. Especially when they are targeting individuals in the government rather than the country, which is easier because Russia is an oligarchy. It give more power to less corrupt opposition. Trumps response? More nuclear. "Why can't we use nuclear weapons?" "Let there be an arms race". That is real war, where people die on masse and the world ends up inhabitable. Despite Russia's poor economy, Putin has been expanding their military capacities, if you had been paying attention. NATO have declared that they now would not be able to hold off Russia without the US. Putin can easily take on the the post-soviet states to recreate the USSR, against their wishes. Russia will not be USA's overlords through war, they will now only have to bribe or blackmail the president, or make a deal with the new cabinet to make them richer. Putin can fight the US now with it's own sanctions directed at Trumps empire, leaving him free to get away with bullying Europe and the post-soviet states using real armies. (which they are already doing. If you had been paying attention.)

  1688.  @ravenrock541  so, I've not looked too hard into this, but there are a couple of points. The article that this is based on is not a study, but a perspective, not based on an experiment: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372 . In it, it discusses whether all medical staff should wear a mask, not jut those in ppe equipment. It states "First and foremost, a mask is a core component of the personal protective equipment (PPE) clinicians need when caring for symptomatic patients with respiratory viral infections, in conjunction with gown, gloves, and eye protection." - this is an admittance that masks do indeed provide a level of protection; their argument seems to be that masks don't provide enough protection in a hospital setting: "A mask alone in this setting will reduce risk only slightly, however, since it does not provide protection from droplets that may enter the eyes or from fomites on the patient or in the environment that providers may pick up on their hands and carry to their mucous membranes" although, this is not actually backed up by any referenced study. But, given this is concerning ppe usage in a hospital setting, it's probably good to back to what they say about using masks outside of a hospital: "We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes .. The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal." the argument here is that masks are not worthwhile because you're unlikely to catch the disease anyway. So, firstly, this does not say that they don't work; secondly, it suggests that the virus spread is so unlikely that masks are not needed - this is demonstrably not true. either way, it looks like this is one article in a bunch of opinion pieces which are discussing the effectiveness of masks, e.g https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0020748920302005?via%3Dihub#bib0001 "Mass-masking, no less than altruism, would work more than an individual level in community settings. It may lead to a significant reduction of the basic reproduction number of SARS-CoV-2 and consequently may portray an effect parallel to herd immunity" and https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30918-1/fulltext But, again, these are just opinion pieces. Generally, they all agree that masks do work for protecting against breathing in the virus, but they need to be properly fitted, and overall risk reduction is achieved by hygiene, facial protection and distancing. one article attempts to use studies: http://www.ijrc.in/article.asp?issn=2277-9019;year=2020;volume=9;issue=2;spage=149;epage=152;aulast=Sharma and concludes: "Therefore, social distancing, meticulous hand hygiene and respiratory etiquettes have significant role in curbing the infection transmission rather than use of face mask alone. However, people may use multilayer cloth face covering especially in the areas of significant community based transmission but it should not be used as substitute for social distancing. .. Frontline health care workers caring for confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19 must use N95 mask at least when they have a risk of exposure to aerosols." i.e masks work to reduce risk of overall transmission but are not a substitution for all other measures.

  2076.  @ginganinga1010  I agree, people should scrutinise evidence, I apologise for insinuating you were coming down on one side or the other. However, the study here says it has no evidence one way or the other: From the link above: "Most studies were underpowered because of limited sample size, and some studies also reported suboptimal adherence in the face mask group" also, "Study designs in the 7 household studies were slightly different: 1 study provided face masks and P2 respirators for household contacts only (34), another study evaluated face mask use as a source control for infected persons only (35), and the remaining studies provided masks for the infected persons as well as their close contacts" this suggests that this meta study itself is a study of potentially inaccurate studies, some with little control over the subject's use of masks, nor having large enough sample sizes for a statistical conclusion. Still; it is a significant paper. here is a more recent study from the same source, suggesting "Although evidence is limited for their effectiveness in preventing transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, either for source control or to reduce exposure, the wearing of masks by healthy persons may prevent potential asymptomatic or presymptomatic transmission (3). This marginal reduction in transmission may produce substantial results, particularly when it is implemented early." https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/8/20-1498_article#r2 but again, the methodology is not tightly locked down. That study also references one specifically including the corona virus: "Our results indicate that surgical face masks could prevent transmission of human coronaviruses and influenza viruses from symptomatic individuals." https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0843-2 but again, sample sizes seem small, even if the study looks to have have randomised its samples and performed the study in a controlled manner. I guess, it is up to us to evaluate these sources, but at least you are providing some for scrutiny. For that, thanks. we need more like you on the side of the discussion, otherwise it's like shining a torch into a void.
