What if your handicap is over 40 😜
I took almost as many strokes on the course yesterday as dollars I spent to play it...

...and it was an expensive SoCal course because my wife's stepdad was in town and I didn't want to subject him to the goat tracks I usually play.

I've reversed quite a lot of my positions on this. My reversals are based on facts available to me.

This time last year, I was fully mask compliant - as were the Florida Governor and POTUS. The messaging was that masks help. Now it is clear that they don't, unless you have a properly fitted N95 mask.

So, if this were really about keeping people "safe", wouldn't the government officials mandate properly fitted N95 masks for all?

As for local leaders making decisions based on what's prudent for them, I call bullshit. This is about nothing more than control. Sorry. Kids aren't spreaders. Masks don't work. The facts are out there, which I know is inconvenient.
The facts never changed....that's why they're facts.  
So now you're left calling bullshit on the opinion you had before.  
And you see nothing wrong with this?

I think the key words were facts available to me

so yes facts available do indeed change

should he have said information instead of facts maybe but 

any normal person understands what he meant

Spain continues down, UK may have leveled off too high, France seems to have peaked, not headed down yet.

GA still rising but is below winter peak, FL "might" be leveling, I hope, at a higher level than last winter.

The “facts never changed” ?? That’s outrageous even for a person like you who makes up their own facts.

Heh, I think you all know I have plenty of opinions on stuff.

But overall this thread has been really interesting over the past 1.5 years.  Lots of diverse ideas, lots of thoughtful insights.  Of the several message boards I frequent, all of which have some variations of COVID topics among them, this is the one I've found most interesting and thought-provoking.

There are so many smart people on this board, so many thoughtful people, so many honest and sincere and earnest people.  It's what makes this board special in general, and what makes this particular thread valuable on its own merits.

There are plenty of other threads and other forums to discuss the politics.  But that tends to devolve into mind-numbing banality.  On this forum, and every other.

This thread can be better than that.  HAS been better than that.

Which is why I try to keep it clear of the hate-filled and useless partisan crap.  There's no benefit, there's no point, in allowing that stuff to fester and destroy this thread.

That's my opinion of course.  Ultimately it's up to the site owners/operators to decide. If they want me to cease and desist I will immediately do so.

I say the facts never changed and in a huff, you post a list of opinions.
Exactly my point.
Thank you.

On what planet is FL leveling?  Might?  Might not.  Why even post that?
