that's where the coal mines are. that's where real America began. that's where true Americans live.I don't know about you guys but when Joey starts talking about Scranton it gets me hyped.
So you don’t think that wearing a mask and leading by example in a time of need would have made a difference to people who don’t want to wear them?Because you were talking about the deaths. I think New York and New Jersey have the most coronavirus deaths. By far. The vast majority are in the North East. These are not states that go red.
You honestly think Trump wearing a mask would have reduced deaths in New York and New Jersey? Come on.
I think you are giving him way too much credit. Tons of folks don't wear a mask, and don't social distance, because they don't want to. Trump is not going to magically make people wear a mask and social distance--just like DeBlasio cant--just like Cuomo can't. He especially does not have that type of influence in the North east where the vast majority of coronavirus deaths have occurred.
The question was not whether mask and social distancing work. Obviously both have shown to be effective.
The question was whether trump wearing one would have had a significant influence on the death toll to this point. I just don't think your initial statement follows considering the locations of the majority of coronavirus deaths.
Like I said before, I think that there are many unknowns and the situation is evolving as we get more information.
What are the reasons that New York was hit so hard early on in the pandemic? How have they been able to reduce the number of cases? Now compare that to why we are continuing to see a huge number of cases several months after the pandemic started and after we've figured out ways to mitigate the spread. The two are hardly comparable. You're comparing the start of a pandemic with an unknown virus to several months after where we know quite a bit more.Because you were talking about the deaths.

Scranton is a beauty of a town. If you want to really visit a great coal mining town in pa check out centralia, pa. Words cannot describe its beauty.I don't know about you guys but when Joey starts talking about Scranton it gets me hyped.

I didn't say anything about Trump wearing a mask, so I don't know where that comes. However, if everyone was wearing a mask then the number of cases and deaths would be lower. We can do something about the continued spread, but the people you defend and support do not. If everyone wore masks and social distanced, the number of cases would drop.
All Trump really had to do was push people to wear masks and social distance, and we could be having some semblance of normal life right now.
I'm not sure how pushing people to wear masks translates to Trump wearing a mask. Maybe because it's easier for you to argue against? I mean it did sound silly when you made it seem like I was saying Trump wearing a mask would have reduced deaths in NY and NJ.All Trump really had to do was push people to wear masks and social distance, and we could be having some semblance of normal life right now.
You accused me of shifting a question, and here you are trying to change my argument.The narrative that if people that don't like Trump saw him wear a mask then they would suddenly decide to wear a mask and social distance just doesn't seem realistic, to me.
wait wait waitdwalk reminds me of Aaron Burr in Hamilton

Is that the face Roy Made when heading to the mall?
The Ven diagram of people not wanting to wear masks and those in support of Trump is a circle
Don’t worry red states are catching fastAnd how many of them are in New York and New Jersey where the vast majority of coronavirus deaths are?

Let’s use your link as referenceUnited States COVID - Coronavirus Statistics - Worldometer
United States Coronavirus update with statistics and graphs: total and new cases, deaths per day, mortality and recovery rates, current active cases, recoveries, trends and timeline.www.worldometers.info
You might want to look at the death toll by state.
Again I don't think it is the fault of the leaders of those states/local mayors either. As I said there is still so much unknown.
