Gov Inslee WA faults Trump for failing to push masks amid "critical" COVID resurgence
CBS NEWS ^ | June 28, 2020 | MELISSA QUINN

Posted on 06/28/2020 4:20:40 PM PDT by Presbyterian Reporter

Washington Governor Jay Inslee faulted President Trump for failing to urge Americans to wear masks amid a surge in coronavirus infections in more than two dozen states, likening Mr. Trump's resistance to masks to Alabama governor and segregationist George Wallace's opposition to integration.

"Right now, we are in an urgent national mission, or should be, to mask up," Inslee, a Democrat, said on "Face the Nation." "And the fact is that Donald Trump is for masking up like George Wallace was for integration."

Inslee said universal masking is crucial to reopening states' economies, and added that "all of us should be on that bandwagon right now."

You need better friends. I am in the process of jettisoning all my friends who have libtard tendencies. Life is too short to spend time with idiots.

Amen Brother!

Masks protect others from you. Your mask protects others.

EVERY country that wears masks mostly consistently has reduced their spread by 90+%. (Eg Hong Kong, which is one of the most densely populated countries on earth..total deaths to date: SEVEN vs our 200k+).

But, hey, let’s keep whining about masks and let our economy crash to Great Depression 2.0 levels, because “no-one can TELL ME what to do”.

Just don’t check your 401k balance. That might be..depressing. But, at lest no-one will “tell you what to do” - so there’s that at least.

You do not have Liberal friends. You may think you do but they will disabuse of that foolish notion at first opportunity.

We have been wearing masks for quite a while now, yet we have supposed big spikes going on. Maybe the masks make it worse. I, for one, am constantly touching and adjusting my mask, whereas before, I kept my hands off of my face.

I have almost 0 contact with people since so many are liberal Trump haters.

A couple people a couple hundred miles away and a few relatives are about it.

Just for the record, Jay, what political party did George Wallace belong to?

We could all mask up but it’s clear nothing will ever be good enough for Wu Flu addicts like you. We nuked the economy to mollify tantruming Chicom flu hobbyists and still you moan on about masks. Incredible.

And we wore no masks when this all kicked off. And why was that? Because they were all made in china and unavailable, of course! Now near six much later we must all mask up or the world is going to end? Nonsense.

When this started our hospitals did not even have close to enough PPE. I heard one story from a tech who bear hugged Covid patients without any more protection than a surgical mask to position them for procedures. Surprisingly, they didn’t get contract Covid from such close contact. Obviously, this thing is not as contagious as the Chicom flu terrorists would have us believe.

I’m very pro-mask when it comes to the China Flu, but if Inslee is pushing them then I might have to rethink my position.

This douche sack can’t even control one part of his own state. STFU with regard to the rest of the country.

Liberals, always trying to push the blame off on a Republican for their own leadership failures. The guy has no idea what a Governor’s duties are, or the responsibility he has to all the people in the State, not to just a handful of special interest groups.

I am not a “Wu Flu addict”.

I am, however, a conservative Republican that wants to be DONE. WITH. THIS. SHI!. - forever. I’m freaking sick, for example, of watching my investment portfolio with huge weekly losses because my fellow conservatives are more interested in having a freaking PISSING MATCH about masks than simply doing the ONE. THING. that can help us get through this and be done with it.

Many of my fellow conservatives seem perfectly fine with WHINING about masks then do ANYTHING to help us stop the virus and get our economy back to “somewhat” normal.

The facts are totally irrefutable - EVERY country that wears masks 80-99% has the virus beat.

We, however, freak the hell out about masks..and have some whacky reasons for doing so..”muh freedom!!!!”. (Ummm..do you have the “freedom” to go pantless and buck naked inside a store? Smoke in a restaurant? Obviously,...no. So why the hell are any of us freaking out about doing ANYTHING WE CAN to beat this damned thing? Suck it, buttercups. Let’s get through this!)

Didn’t the Surgeon General say masks don’t really help, and can do more harm than good?

Yep..and then Fauci came out and said “we lied..because we didn’t want people buying up the PPE we needed”.

Masks WORK to reduce spread. Hong Kong (literally on the doorstep of China with tons of Chinese tourists) and super heavy density of people, lots of mass transit, etc has SEVEN deaths to date.

We (US) have 200K+ deaths to date - and are a LOT less densely populated than Hong Kong.

HK wears masks everywhere they go. We whine and fight about masks.

The net is obvious to even the most rabid partisan. My mask protects YOU. Your mask protects ME. But, let’s just keep whining about masks until our economy crashes to Great Depression 2.0 levels. Just don’t check your 401K balance. Yeah, that might be...bad.
