It isn’t really doing either when they adjust to new situations and information.

At first, there were not enough masks even for the healthcare providers. They still really need more. The president told us there were plenty and that it was all under control. He was still making that false claim last week.
At first, it was not so widespread as to endanger everyone and the president claimed there were even fewer cases and that it would go away as if by magic.
At first, they thought anything other than perfect containment of the virus was useless. They didn’t know that just reducing the spread would lead to fewer infections and milder cases
At first, they didn’t realize how many could be infected and infectious without being detected — no symptoms.
At first, they expected to be able to trace contacts because they expected to have quick and effective tests. The President claimed we had plenty of test kits but would have fewer getting sick and dying if we didn’t test.

The doctors didn’t lie. Fauci, for example, pointed out at the time that the situation might change and that masks might provide some protection, but that protection was most needed by those caring for the infected.

And, most of the wild statements were made by President Trump who was more interested in having good economic indicators than having an accurately informed public. We will never be able to depend on him for the truth. He’s dumb and dishonest, and you can’t fix that. He’s gotten away with crooking people all his life. Many believe his changing lies more than the multiple repeated truths from people who actually know what they are talking about.

Just remember, you don’t go for truth to charlatans who don’t pay their bills and pay people to keep silent from truth. You go to them for words of comfort — unless you find more comfort in truth.

When they take away our rights, starting with our Right to Choose, They will then dictate everything we do! So much for Land of the Free!

Encourage is not the same as enforced strictly. So when you get COVID, who will be to blame ? No one is going to pay thousands of dollars in hospital bills for you. The local government should have enforced the rules but failed vote them out!

Warm air can hold more water vapor, gas, than cold air.
Air in the lungs is warm.
Cold air will cool exhaled air and cause water vapor to become liquid droplets. This doesn’t actually prove the presence of droplets with coronavirus in them. (I’m told they are there but this doesn’t prove it.)
