Exactly...I used to think those on the right except for a few "conspiracy  theorists" where totally sane and rational but in the party of Trump emotion has taken over rational thought...seems the Dim's and the GOP have given up on thinking and rely totally on emotion... :shrug:

Common point of contact with whoever was doing the testing.

After the last 2 years, I expect to find Comey-Brennan operatives in the FedGov Executive branch working towards Coup #2

There are no "virtual votes" in the Senate.
Senators have to cast their votes in person.

Having said that...
Wheel the ailing Republican senators in on gurneys, if that's what's required.
Let them cast their vote and then be wheeled back on out...!

Only if the CDC, the Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, and any number of other medical studies don't qualify as "scientific data".  If they don't then I can't imagine what does.

Your word on it isn't going to do. How about some links to those scientific studies that were done based on flu transmission and using masks prior to Covid-19 and the politicization of the studies? There are many years of data to work from.

Here's what the New England Journal of Medicine had to say about masks before it went overly political: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372?rfr_dat=cr_pub%3Dpubmed

Do we know for sure that everyone at the Judge Barrett introduction was tested for COVID ahead of time?  I don't think a test was required for the debates and sure as anything no testing is done before Trump rallies.

Yes, they were all tested before the ceremony.

The debate is a dif story...Mike Wallace said Trump got there too late to be tested..he may have spread the virus there as I think the last count there was 11...I'll have to check on that to be sure..

What's the last thing you touch when you are done washing your hands? The faucet you turned on (to turn it off)? The doorknob? Unless the little sanitizer fairies are running along behind you making sure those surfaces are germ free, you pick it back up again. That doesn't stop me from washing my hands, and I bet other folks, even Republicans do, too, but let's get real about the limitations of all that fanfare. That mask is the equivalent of putting up a chain link fence to keep the mosquitoes out (it only stops the big ones).
I'll tell you, and this has not one damn thing to do with Covid, I use a paper towel to turn the water off if it has handles and also to open the door(seat protectors if they decide that hand dryers are green tech :silly: they blow the friggin germs everywhere and we know where that lectricity comes from. I do this this because I have seen way to often some inconsiderate filthy ass handle his dingus, probably splashing his hands, and walk straight to the door grab the handle and leave. I don't even want to think about the ones that walk straight to the door after leaving a stall  :3:  Tell me how often you think about that door handle or push panel you handle to get in the restroom before you handle your...........

But interestingly, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) who is sitting a little further away came down with it too and he was wearing a mask.

I am seeing in the Rat underground forums they are so unhappy that Trump seems to be recovering so fast they are saying He never contracted the Rona.  It was all a ruse to help him gain the sympathy vote.

When a local radio host noticed that people wear masks to enter restaurants, but then take them off as soon as they are seated and, obviously, in order to eat their meals, he compared it to putting a "no peeing section" sign in the community swimming pool. It's bound to keep out at least some of the bad stuff, right?  :laugh:

Let's break that down a bit.  Are they suggesting that the Stupid Vote can be swayed by "sympathy?"  No wonder they're worried about Trump's health.

Senators have to cast their votes in person.


True, but the hearings come first and it's not uncommon lately to hold those via Skype.  There is absolutely no reason to delay those.

OK,once again,just because you test positive from the virus,does NOT mean you are going to get sick and die from it.

Some people will have it and not even know,some people will have it and get mildly sick,and some people will have it and get seriously ill,and maybe even die.

It is NOT a death sentence.

No, but it does mean your State gets money from the federal government.

Last I read, the virus may have already been in the debate theater, left by the set up crew!

For those who abandon critical thought, reason, and the basics of human nature, and instead rely solely upon emotion to formulate their belief system, this 'fear of sympathy' response comes natural.

I don't think it's odd at all.  Democrats wear masks, don't schedule large gatherings, social distance, probably wash their hands frequently.  Republicans do none of that. They make a point of ignoring every guideline the CDC has come up with and people are surprised that they're catching COVID left, right, and center?
