It doesn't take a genius to understand that transmission takes place more easily with contact or close proximity, especially in confined spaces. I know two people who got Covid after 20 minutes or so in a car with a person in a non-symptomatic stage of Covid, myself being one. Maybe 5 feet would have been proved adequate if tested, or maybe 6 feet was too close.  Common sense and experience still demonstrate that untested does not prove distance is irrelevant. As gotchas go, this one is gnat-straining.

Yes, common sense and experience DOES prove distance irrelevant. Total bullshit. Any time there is air handling in enclosed places, distance apart means nothing.

G'day, Pookie!

Nuts and bolts people of means, are rarely as left wing as you are.  I am not calling bullshit yet, but.......

Because I do not walk lockstep in YOUR strict definition of conservatism I am a liberal in your mind. You do know your brand of far right conservatism is not the norm in this country? Maybe 5% at most hold your strict views.
I was a far right conservative at one time but got tired of all the bs from the right, the misinformation, lies, constant fear porn and doom doom doom  whenever a democrat was in power and have become a independent conservative. Fiscal conservative, socially moderate.

I have been on 3-4 conservative  sites today and looking at Dow 40k threads. Nothing but beotching and complaining instead of saying hey this is great. . If Biden came out today and cut taxes and gov't regulations by 50% conservatives would still find something to beotch about.

Politics is nothing but poisonous partisanship anymore.

Romney's envy and bitterness over Trump having been elected President while he, Romney, had been rejected by voters is cringey.

Sad to say, but I don't think we have had a decent candidate since Reagan, well maybe Dole.
