>This was when the WHO was telling governments not to tell their people to wear masks. Why are you blaming Trump and not the WHO? In December through February, it was the "crazy paranoid Trump supporters" who were buying and wearing masks.You should be able to tell by the context that this isn't talking about 2019 but 2020 December. And long after multiple state and local regulations for masks came out, Trump has continued to undermine those not just by refusing to wear one on so many public occasions but also by speaking out against them.
>Yeah and I'm sure that had absolutely nothing with people going out to protest BLM or Governors shoving covid-positive patients into nursing homes, where the most vulnerable civilians live?My home state of Texas saw a rise twice as big as Minnesota, which I don't think is a sign that Texas demonstrations were larger than those in Minneapolis. In fact, as you can verify here
http://www2.minneapolismn.gov/coronavirus/dashboard Minneapolis has had a pretty constant COVID incidence rate. While it'd be dishonest to claim large gatherings of people had 0 effect on new cases, it'd be just as dishonest to put the blame for this on the protest.
>The mayor of Austin was overreacting and exaggerating. I cannot speak of Austin as I don't live there. In Houston, hospitals were operating on surge capacity for months, squeezing other services into smaller spaces to accommodate for growing COVID wards. The only reason Houston didn't run out of ICU beds is that it happens to have the largest medical center in the world. And Texas-wide, deaths went from the 50s/day in the end of May to the 300s/day in the end of July.
