in that case do masks become a law permanently in public, because of other airborne illnesses that take lives annually...like the normal flu does? this is the slope folks are referring to...
No you're good I know what you mean lol
Slippery slope arguments are fallacious. Judgement should be made on the merits of the case. For example, some prominent politicians claimed legalizing gay marriage would inevitably lead to the legalization of polygamy, bestiality, and even pedophilia. In retrospect this is obviously ridiculous, but these were real concerns for a not so small amount of people at the time.
No one wants a permanent mask law. Its unnecessary and haven't seen any politician suggest it.
"Its unnecessary and haven't seen any politician suggest it."
.... yet
Have we not gotten past the "normal flu" debate? This is not the "normal flu" .
What does the government get out of a permanent mask law? I understand why they want the Patriot act to go on forever, but what do they gain from masks?
Don't get me wrong, I agree with all of this.
just making an example that im sure most folks could understand quickly.
Just to prove that they can
weird flex but ok
Oh I dunno why they choose half the things they do. Or better, why they choose to take some things as far as they do. It's like there a constant compulsion to do more. Seems like the majority of politics is to create more problems to "fix". Now this is a real crisis, but like some other posters are mentioned, don't be naive and think they won't see this as an opportunity to exploit and expand powers. It's up to us to keep them in check. While we still have the option to do so.
any news on these antibody tests? sure would be cool to know if ive already had it and/or am already immune to it and not contagious. that peace of mind would go a long way in me feeling good about visiting friends and playing cornhole this fall.
ahh...
Cornhole...
Used to think I was pretty good, then watched those cats on TV and realized that I was terrible...
There is a difference in 60000 deaths in a year and 60000 deaths in 2 months. The flu is not a pandemic. Requiring mask at this time just makes sense. The I don't want to argument just is not good enough.
Seriously, I just try to get the bags on the board. The pros are trying to determine throwing angles and bag placement strategy and things like that.
