'Mercans, amirite?

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
That's not a public event but a private gathering. No mask requirement there since a long time. I also guess that most of the people there are fully vaccinated and maybe also tested.

Looks like a tent. Was that an outdoor soiree?

Not even a tent. It appears to be a pergola with some gauze fabric attached to suggest a sort of pavilion. If the Canadian leftie is posting that shit to demonstrate the idiocy of anti-mask zealots, he's doing a splendid job.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
As for the arsewipe cardinal who's now on a ventilator:
Last May, Burke spoke out forcefully against Covid-19 vaccines, saying: “It must be clear that vaccination itself cannot be imposed, in a totalitarian manner, on citizens.”
He also said vaccines had been developed “through the use of the cell lines of aborted fetuses” and that “a kind of microchip needs to be placed under the skin of every person, so that any moment he or she can be controlled by the state regarding health and about other matters which we can only imagine”.
Experts on health and misinformation have repeatedly debunked such conspiracy theories.

I'm not trying to demonstrate anything except the hypocrisy of the elites who rule. Do you think favourable coverage would be given to a peasant gathering of the same type?

US could see 200,000 Covid cases a day again: ‘Unvaccinated are sitting ducks’
FFS. The trouble is once again many Americans think this is normal for the rest of the world.Director of National Institutes of Health pleads with Americans to get their shots as Delta variant ravages the country
The US could soon see Covid-19 cases return to 200,000 a day, a level not seen since among the pandemic’s worst days in January and February, the director of the National Institutes of Health warned on Sunday.
While the US currently is seeing an average of about 129,000 new infections a day – a 700% increase from the beginning of July – that number could jump in the next couple of weeks, Dr Francis Collins said on Fox News Sunday.
“I will be surprised if we don’t cross 200,000 cases a day in the next couple of weeks, and that’s heartbreaking considering we never thought we would be back in that space again,” Collins said.
Collins pleaded anew for unvaccinated Americans to get their shots, calling them “sitting ducks” for a Delta variant that is ravaging the country and showing little sign of letting up.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
Strange that you assume I'm defending the Obama gathering. It needs no defense. What I unequivocally did was disparage the stupidity of the anti-mask social media post that you felt a need to show here.Cunt wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 3:42 pmHow many cases turned up from this event you leap to defend?L'Emmerdeur wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 3:30 pmNot even a tent.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
Just keep doing what the sophisticated tell you to do - regardless of their actions.
They don't need to mask, it isn't important for the leaders, since they are smart enough to choose for themselves.

I was given a year of free milkshakes once. The year passed and I hadn’t bothered to get even one.
