You cited his posts from 2 months ago, apparently you bear some type of grudge against his "hypocrisy" and spent time listing evidence to support your assertion. So you're the ATOT police now? Most of the posters in this thread have deflected or avoided politicization, while I admit I've partaken in it from time to time. Who the fuck cares as long as it doesn't get out of hand and requires moderation? Why do you care so much he likes to bash Donald Trump on occasion?Stalked? I posted his very own many many words (posts) in this thread to show his hypocrisy, not just baseless accusation that so many posters have a habit of doing so. See the tittle of the thread? See it? See how many times he violated it. Too many to count. Wanna bash DT? See what another poster said in #8440. I even provided the correct thread for him to post his bashing.
The second question was not just merely civic responsibility but whether he wants everyone to follow the rules equally. Too many posters have a habit of "hey everyone, let follow the rules and laws, ok?" when it fits their agenda and then turn around and make all the excuses in the world for breaking rules and laws in other circumstances. At least he gave me a straight answer, unlike this poster chickened out - https://forums.anandtech.com/thread...navirus-thread.2575795/page-310#post-40147897

I'm pretty sure when Muse breaks the non-Political rule of this thread, he's not endangering anybody's health. So again, not sure what your hypocrisy allegations have to do with protesters being willfully ignorant of an infectious disease. There's no moral or ethical equivalence here, and the latter topic is relevant to this thread IMO. Dr. Birx specifically expressed alarm about this over a week ago.
Places with better mask wearing look likely to cut transmission a lot more than places that don't.
The study, which the Hong Kong team calls the first of its kind, used hamsters in two cages; one group of hamsters infected with Covid-19 and the other healthy. The researchers created three different scenarios: mask barriers placed just on cages with the infected subjects, masks covering the healthy subjects, and one with no mask barriers at all, with a fan between the cages allowing particles to be transmitted between them.
With no mask barriers at all, two-thirds of the healthy hamsters — 66.7% — were infected with the virus within a week, the researchers found.
When the mask was placed over the infected cage, however, that infection rate dropped to 16.7%. The infection rate went up to 33% when the mask barrier was only used to cover the healthy hamsters’ cage.
The hamsters who were still infected despite having the mask barrier also had less of the virus in their bodies compared to those infected without the masks, the researchers found.
LOL
The link consists of an "experiment" of mice in Hong Kong. Are you seriously comparing this to the behavior (especially CURRENT behavior) of humans? And did you seriously find this to be some kind of elaborate and scientific controlled study? And do we even know how and what ways mice can transmit vs. ways humans can?
It just makes sense. Facts have emerged that reveal that infection depends not on not being exposed to the virus but not being exposed to a dose that causes infection. 10 particles or less is very likely not to cause infection. 100, some small possibility. 1000 is thought to be a threshold where infection begins to be happening statistically significantly. Higher doses, have higher chances of resulting in infection. That's why you see the science fiction looking PPE in some video. Wearing masks, any masks, anywhere the virus is shedding in any environment is going to play into this a great deal both in terms of not infecting others and not being infected by others.Places with better mask wearing look likely to cut transmission a lot more than places that don't.
Im guessing it has to do with the tons of morons in this country that lack the credit and 3rd grade level responsibility to handle a checking account.To those that haven't received their stimulus payment yet... am i hearing this right? They're sending debit cards instead of checks? Some searching says yes they are.
Would it be easier to steal/fraud a card than a paper check? I wonder, after reading about the fraud linked to unemployment payments. Not sure if that was related to payments made on cards or not though.
I finally received mine thru DD.
Why are some Americans so deathly afraid of masks? Do they think masks have AIDS in them or something? JFC just put a mask on during a pandemic and go about your business.

You haven't been paying attention for the last 20 years I'm guessing.
Fox News has an agenda of contradicting mainstream media and its gotten so bad that when EVERY OTHER NEWS OUTLET tells people they need to wear masks then Fox is obligated to say "dont wear masks".

About 25-30% of the country would drink antifreeze if a slick enough YouTube video told them too.

The mask issue seems very controversial though, even experts flip flop between whether they help or not. I think that's what is making people not bother.

There are folks whom when they get their tax returns they get companies that will accept the money and then pay it to them in the form of these gift cards since they don't have direct deposits or an account to even deposit checks into. Thus it's their only option.
To be fair, banks are demanding either a steady monthly direct deposit from employer ($500 minimum per DD/month) or at least $1,500 USD daily balance to have a checking account with no fee or the customer would have to pay $8-$10 or even more monthly to have a checking account with the banks. Don't let me start with other fees.
Credit Unions are better but the requirements are similar, either a DD monthly or daily minimum balance from $75 to $200.
I can count on one hand the number of banks and CUs with no fee, no DD, no requirement to have a checking account around here.
That's why so many places are having check cashing service now. From mom and pop "finance stores" to liquor stores to grocery stores to Wal Mart stores.
