american democracy is failing, period just like Socrates said: Letting the citizenry vote without an education is as irresponsible as putting them in charge of a trireme sailing to Samos in a storm...... only those who had thought about issues rationally and deeply should be let near a vote
Cloth masks are useless - there has been ZERO evidence it is even remotely effective in slowing down transmission. There has been ZERO RCT on the effectiveness of cloth masks. The best people can come up with are mannequins in a lab or hairdresser anecdotes. CDC’s leaked slides to WaPo didn’t even footnote the source of their assumptions on mask effectiveness because it doesn’t exist. N95 respirator is better but only if fitted and worn correctly. Anyone who wants their children to wear N95 for eight hours a day, five days a week - be my guest

哈哈 https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/desantis-blasts-other-forty-nine-states-for-making-florida-look-bad DeSantis Blasts Other Forty-nine States for Making Florida Look Bad By Andy Borowitz August 5, 2021 Photograph by Joe Raedle / Getty TALLAHASSEE (The Borowitz Report)—In his most scathing assignment of blame to date, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis blasted the other forty-nine states for conspiring to make his own look bad. “Our covid numbers wouldn’t seem so terrible if other states’ numbers weren’t better,” he said. “You don’t have to be a detective to figure out who stands to benefit from this scenario.” “Nice try, other forty-nine states,” he bellowed. “I’m onto you!” DeSantis’s remarks drew a strong rebuke from a fellow Republican governor, Greg Abbott of Texas. “If you look at our covid numbers, you’ll find that Texas has been doing everything in our power to make Florida look good,” he said. “Ron DeSantis’s comments are very hurtful.” Immediately following Abbott’s statement, DeSantis issued a heartfelt apology. “I appreciate everything Texas has done to make Florida look good,” he said. “But the other forty-eight states still suck.”
“Our vaccines are working exceptionally well,” Walensky told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “They continue to work well for Delta, with regard to severe illness and death – they prevent it. But what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.”
要看代表的是多少人的民意，是20%脑残的民意，还是80%有孩子的正常人的民意。不能为了20%的自由牺牲了80%人的自由。
别说这个词放标题里还真的 很一步到位的 强调了重点
这里应该如何翻译 才能 实现 信达雅 又强调了这个重点呢
发个新闻链接给看看呗；）
我刚刚想说，在美国，总统州长都不是皇帝，任何过分的事都会有机构制约。
有的英文词没有对应的中文词汇，所以夹杂文体，在闲谈论坛很自然，无可非议。互相也不要管制的。

the wearing of face coverings is not mandatory; and COVID-19 vaccinations are always voluntary.
Arkansas州长就是已经把这个写进法律了。然后现在说后悔了。也不知道他是真后悔还是在演戏。
反正现在就是几个红波州长比赛耍流氓的时候。
记住他，选总统一定不投他。
你对“自由”这个词是不是有什么误解？
分明是口罩党要剥夺别人不戴口罩的自由；没有任何人要剥夺他们戴口罩的自由
不想戴就别来public学校读书啊，没有疫苗卡不能去daycare的时候这些人怎么不咋呼把那要求也ban了？
我觉得以后大家发帖都带个英文，会不会成为小粉红的照妖镜😅😅
你怕病毒就别来public 学校读书啊！
他都70多了，先牺牲一下？
因为绝大多数感染就是新冠病毒啊！有点常识自己去看看去年的新冠死亡人数就知道啦。cdc改进检测方法主要是应对目前和未来的变种，你们不打疫苗就算了，还出来给人普及各种民科知识，有时间干点别的不好吗？
反智的头头早都落选了，小跟班离走人还远吗 😁
试图剥夺别人选举的权利都是反民主。 自己觉得受过教育就可以教别人做人了吗？半桶水晃悠。
你意思是上课的学生都要得delta variant？包括他们的家人？
纽约长岛学校戴口罩，虽然每天有人感染，可是绝大多数人没有感染，室内口罩还是有用的！
那也不能剥夺别人传染变种的自由啊！
这个版上很多人认为戴口罩比打疫苗更有用
他是不是有那个大病？？！
赶紧走，真是看着太恶心了
应该还是有点用吧。毕竟很多人说话的时候口吐飞沫，或者冬天咳嗽，打喷嚏什么的，戴个口罩可以防御一下。如果不戴口罩，我估计超市里的员工都要中招因为她们接触的人群最多了。
最近都出去吃过饭的都知道，饭店门口戴戴，进饭店就脱了，口罩党们解释一下这有什么用？
声明：我本人不反对戴口罩，但也看不惯口罩党的作风，就是口罩党们最推崇的中国，也不怎么戴口罩啊
你说到点子上了，所以吃饭也不是随便凑一桌就吃滴
不服不行。。
两党一个尿性，去年民主党统统反疫苗，今年到共和党反。。。只能希望少干预cdc，拒绝抗疫政治化！要是Dr Fauci选总统，圈粉妥妥滴
是呢，不过没关系，接下来半年死的人比那个多多了。他们求仁得仁。。。
反智行为
小政府管天管地管怀孕
让人不由得想起年初的这位德州小市长
Texas snow: Mayor quits after 'only strong will survive' post https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56100743.amp
说说你享受到啥自由了？来华人网的自由？
我在这里可以不戴口罩，可以不打疫苗，即使得病了或者传染他人也不会被挖隐私，被大家鞭尸，这就足够了。
戴口罩才是反智加形式主义愚蠢极了！你骂骂咧咧咒人死，木有好下场！
对，按超额死亡计算新冠死得还不止60多万
自由到一定程度就会变成自私，一个社会自私的人多到一定程度就会开始走下坡路。
我来美国比较晚，但是现在看推特上很多美国人说金牌和银牌铜牌应该是同样价值的。 美国精神以前也是这样吗？第一名和后面几名如果没差别的话，奋斗和拼搏有啥意义呢？
