It has been more than two weeks. What do you say now?

Any 'news' site that has promoted chemtrails is a winner for me

Yes, I’m also curious what the APC Alt-Right COVID deniers have to say about this as well. As predicted by anyone paying attention, this is now getting very ugly. Airline stocks are getting destroyed again, and I would be really surprised if pax numbers didn’t start collapsing again as well.

It just makes me sick that so much of this could have been prevented had it not been politicized. No doubt COVID was going to be an issue no matter what, but the anti-mask conspiracy crowd are directly responsible for deaths and economic damage. That we actually have pilots that fall into this denier group is embarrassing and infuriating.

Stop spreading misinformation, the US is one of the highest masked countries in the world.

Here's the source for that chart: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/internat...avoid-covid-19

The data it gathers is from polling. If anything 2016 and 2020 has taught us, it's that polls are often way off the mark. I would not trust a chart based on user-reported info.

In any case, his point stands. Only here has masking been a politically controversial issue.

Oh, so you’ve changed your stance in just over a week eh?

Fox News: surge in new cases

My uncle and I, both got the virus in February from tainted food, after that, we implemented the Singapore model for the rest of the family, and no one else has gotten sick. No need for masks, we have been going about life as normal, just had a birthday party with everyone two weeks ago.
Unfortunately, this is exactly why it’s spreading exponentially.

No, I haven't changed my stance on masks, they have no impact on the pandemic.

His consistency is only rivaled by his ineptitude.
Hello WutFace, welcome back.

Maybe you will actually post about something aviation related with your 10th account, for once.

My wife captured this after dropping me at the airport this afternoon....

(I didn’t ask her if he was flying a Trump flag.)
