Exactly where are Republicans calling out this vile, evil piece of schiff?I honestly haven't seen or heard from Toomey more than a half dozen times since his initial election. He's a complete globalist stiff and borderline Never Trumper.

Wanna know what the infectious disease is? Obsession with masks and the growing crusade that will end in a crescendo of torching business because all masks matter.

Wishful thinking, unfortunately. Biden is comfortably ahead in PA. Will be hard to beat.

No masks here. Retired, living in Nevada County, California and enjoying the endless sunshine and low humidity.
No problems shopping at Safeway foods, restaurants, Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, Tractor Supply, Petco, plant and garden nurseries....
If an institution requires a mask, we dont go in.

There isn’t a vaccine for the Spanish Flu or most other forms of the flu so what he is saying is Pennsylvanians will have to wear masks forever?

One of those lost was my 95 year old mother-in-law. Sorry for your loss and all others who lost loved ones because of these two maniacs here in Pa.

"The point of the exercise was NOT to prevent new breakouts. The point was to limit the number of acute cases at any one time so as to not overwhelm medical facilities. That mission has been accomplished." ------------------------ This is exactly what happened with the 55 MPH national speed limit. It was proposed and passed as an emergency matter, to save gasoline due to the Arab oil embargo. Well, the embargo ended and gas because plentiful again (though at a higher price) - mission accomplished! Weeeellllll, yes...but then the Safety Nazis and Power-Hungry Control Freaks (and many belonged in both groups) changed the mission - now it was safety (oh, and revenue, let's not forget THAT). It took until 1995 for people to finally have had enough of it to get rid of that monstrosity. After all, safety wasn't REALLY the issue, since the interstate system was designed in the 1950s so that the average car of that time (and the fleet still included a lot of 1940s and even pre-War vehicles) could travel coast-to-coast safely at 70 mph. Here, of course, it isn't about safety any more than the 55 limit was - then it was about revenue, now it is about defeating Trump AND about a bunch of wannabee-tyrants showing the people of this country who is in charge. Flattening the curve? Pffffffft! Here's what it's about (other than defeating Trump, which is a short-term objective in the longer march toward the REAL goal): Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with. ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Prediction: there will never be an effective vaccine. Just herd immunity, which is slowed by masks.

If I never have to see Wolfman and She-Dude's faces again, I might be willing to make that sacrifice.
The only way to stop this garbage is wholesale disobedience. We need to become ungovernable--at least by these people.

I’m seeing 1 Chinese Virus death in PA today according to that Worldometer site. I think more people died of spider/snake bites there today.

We are now testing 600,000 people a day. It will soon go over a million a day. Just in this country.

“Models out there suggest that states, areas where people wear masks, the infection rate is actually lower. This is something that, as we get into infectious disease, and knows when this is going to end, we probably ought to be thinking about this [a mask] just to keep each other safe.”
Sooooo, pretty much every flu season and only you will determine when the season ends....

One guy where I am is so beyond paranoid of the virus.
He is a source of many laughs among his co-irkers and me.
