Garth Brooks
I feel sorry for Garth, I have the feeling he is going to get a lot of blowback from his maskless hugfest on the podium yesterday. Apparently he didn't get the memo---he thought he was there to sing, but in reality he was expected to be a participant in a day long mask commercial, culminating with Joe and Jill, standing alone on a huge outdoor WH balcony watching the fireworks with their masks on. What a joke! This of course followed an executive order mandating masks on all federal property. Planning on a hike in Yellowstone National Park 20 miles away from another human being? Bring your mask. People who live in Ocala National Forest? Masks 24/7? Closer to home, what part, if any, of the Villages postal stations are considered federal property????

Apparently, Jen Psaki, a Federal employee conducting a press conference in a Federal building yesterday must have been granted an exception to the executive order requiring masks? Or, she didn't get the memo either.

how about we all decide to be more optimistic? Let's stop looking for the negatives.

OP - yeah, Garth Brooks and his ilk are the real problem here. Pandemics and extreme politics are just a smokescreen. Let's get 'im Last edited by JohnN; 01-21-2021 at 09:31 AM. |

The fireworks were great. I sat in my living room, alone, watching with a mask on.

I think of their choice to wear a mask as an example. They, like previous Presidents, have the power to influence with their choices. Do you choose to wear a mask when you visit the CDC or Mayo Hospital thus visually signaling in a message stronger than just words that you want others to wear masks? Or do you say that we will get Covid under control sooner if people wear masks but refuse to wear one yourself? Will Garth get criticism? Yes |

On the podium with all those people----absolutely the right thing to do (except garth). How can you equate the balcony alone with visiting a hospital???? I know you know better than that. We will never get COVID under control by relying on masks. Social distancing is the most important. Masks indoors or in outdoor crowds are important. The vaccine is important. But like most pandemics, it will fizzle out in time. |

An example of WHAT... an example that getting used to wearing a mask as a part of how you present yourself to others might save a life. It is modeling a behavior. The present occupants of the White House have chosen to model mask wearing as one of the best practices for controlling Covid. The more often they are seen masked the more "normal" mask wearing appears. IMO it is far better that our leaders, AKA example setters, show us good behavior even when it is not medically needed. |

I ALSO think that the Bidens could have taken the masks off while they were on the balcony, long enough for the press to get good shots/videos of their smiling faces. I would have liked that. But I "get" that they wanted to send a message that they'll walk the talk. Again, both of these things were true at the same time. |
