Because everyone on the left wears masks and everyone on the right doesn't. Are you really this ing stupid?
Looks like. It's almost as if making a political iden y out of not taking precautions, not taking masks, and ignoring the science might contribute to spreading it.

What science are people ignoring?

Social distancing, staying at home, wearing masks.
"Texas AG intentionally causes more confusion"
More Republican big government bull .
... missing in that list is testing and tracing of contacts by infected people
For rightwing Americans, their freedumb has become sociopathic.

bag Texas Attorney General Asks Supreme Court to Weigh in on Voting by Mail
Paxton is asking the Texas Supreme Court to weigh in on his interpretation of how voters can qualify for absentee ballots during the coronavirus pandemic.
Various lawsuits are pending over whether eligibility for
mail-in ballots can be expanded to voters who risk contracting the virus by voting in person.
Paxton believes it can’t,
and Wednesday asked the state’s highest civil court to issue a relatively rare writ of mandamus preventing local election officials from doing so.
the Republican attorney general asked the Texas Supreme Court to order election officials
in some of the biggest, largely Democratic counties in the state
to follow his reading of existing eligibility requirements for absentee voting,
arguing the court must step in quickly because those county officials intend to apply an “incorrect reading” of state law.

of course, the 100% politicized and purchased Repug SCOTX will screw Dem counties and voters out of mail-in ballots
An article from the houston chronicle about a Colorado diner is the science?
No. It is an example of people ignoring the science. If you want the actual science, you are just as capable of searching google as I am.
Masks, social distancing, and limiting contacts. The very fact that we have flattened the overall curve by doing all of those things should provide enough tentative proof to accept that as likely true.
WTF Texas farmers?
Science doesn't take political sides. People from both parties make stupid individual decisions. It doesn't mean they deny science, it means they are selfish assholes.

Again, both sides choose to ignore science for whatever reason.

I was happy to read that he has now reversed this policy, but Cuomo has NY blood on his hands for enforcing this mandate since March.
I can say all of this and still say that Trump's response to the Coronavirus was terrible and possibly the worst response a sitting president has ever had to any situation based on available information.
too late
Cuomo Reverses Nursing Home Directive to Take COVID-19 Patients, Requires More Staff Testing
https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/loca...sting/2410533/
I pointed out in my post that he reversed the policy. He was just late to the party choosing to ignore the science and people dying for over a month before reversing course. He also delayed sanitizing public transportation. That isn't okay. Its okay to be mad at him even though you are a democrat. You can call out a mistake or bad policy and no one will take your card away.
Cuomo should feel rotten. He's the Grim Reaper of New York.
New York is such a ing farce.
".....Echoing other county election officials, DeBeauvoir said the situation is not so easy to determine.
WTF Texas farmers?
Applications for a mail-in ballot contain boxes to check for disability, age, being out of the county or being in prison. There is no place to indicate that fear of COVID-19 is driving the voter’s choice, and election officials emphasize that they have been trained — by the Texas secretary of state’s office, no less — to accept and not investigate a voter’s claim of disability.
When an application comes in, “I have no grounds on which to evaluate it,” DeBeauvoir said....."
No political motivation to see here. Move along.
Texas Began Opening Businesses May 1. Now,
They’re Averaging 1,000 New Cases of COVID-19 a Day
Texas has only had two days where they didn’t reach 1,000 new coronavirus cases—May 4 and May 7—and five consecutive days of at least 1,000 new cases, the Hill reports.
Texas, being the asshole state that it is,
didn’t even try to reach the White House benchmark of waiting
until they had at least “a 14-day consecutive decline in daily new COVID-19 cases before beginning to reopen,”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) warned cities not to implement their own coronavirus guidelines to protect citizens because the state government had spoken.
more than 1,100 Texans have died from the virus,
but why would that stop an asshole from being an asshole—
and the entire state of Texas is an asshole.

Boukaki, since you hate Texas so much you should really try to convince your mom to move that smokey singlewide to another state that you like.
I saw this somewhere else and thought it was appropriate for this thread. I didn't write it.
“Flattening the curve didn’t mean stop the infection, but spread it out so that the system could handle it. I am seeing so much anxiety about resuming business, and so much anger about continued regulations. People are feeling the need to catapult to one side or the other, then fight the opposition.
Here’s my perspective, from a mainstream medical model. I think a lot of folks have fallen into the idea that social distancing was meant to stop the viral spread. It wasn’t. It was meant to SLOW it while we put medical infrastructure in place. It’s not perfect, but it’s much better than it was seven weeks ago.
A vaccine is a long way off. At some point, people have to be systematically exposed to begin the building of (hopeful) herd immunity. We will likely begin to experience a real increase in cases after reopening. Ideally, that exposure is controlled and calculated, in phases, to allow our medical community to respond adequately, and reduce the number of severe or fatal cases. That’s where we are.
Whether you feel like things will be opening too soon, or not soon enough, we were never going to social distance this thing into nonexistence. You now need to proceed as your health, wallet, and conscience allow.
If you are medically vulnerable, you do not need to be a part of what is about to happen. Stay home if you can. If you’re not, or if your financial vulnerability trumps your health concerns, you need to proceed in ways that continue to protect yourself, and the elderly and medically vulnerable around you.
All of us need to calm down. Quit telling people who are financially struggling that they don’t care about human lives. Quit telling people who are truly at risk of dying from this virus that they are cowering in fear. Remember that until you’ve walked in someone else’s shoes, you should probably be careful in your judgements and subsequent harsh words.
We don’t HAVE to choose an either/or proposition and fight. We could choose other ways to be. Examples include but are not limited to:
“I think this may be too soon, so I will continue to shelter myself, and pray/make masks/ check on those who can’t.”
“I really need to go back to work, so I will do so, but I will be careful and try to protect myself, my family, and those around me with healthy strategies.”
See how those positions allow each of us to do what we need to, and also respect those who are choosing differently?
Kosmic Parasite, I don't hate Texas. G F Y
I have seen plenty of people on the right outright denying the science. Start with evolution, go on to climate change, then the natural progression to deny things about this that the right finds inconvenient.
This is not hard to find.
Science does not take political sides, but political sides now determine how much confidence you have in reason and evidence. The right has gone full argle bargle.
