First and foremost, the disinformation campaign being waged by Trump and his associates has to stop. He's created widespread confusion and chaos with his anti-Science messaging. He regularly contradicts his own agencies, just adds fuel to the fire of distrust that's prevelant with the Trump base.
That is just a lie. Fauci has repeatedly stated that Trump did EXACTLY as he recommended, in every respect. You are one of the millions so deranged by TDS that you make up stuff - "Trump ignore scientists," by apparently doing what they say and shutting down the greatest economy in the world? Like that? "Trump contradicts his scientific advisors." by apparently implementing every goddamn proposal they made for travel restrictions, lockdowns, distancing, masks, etc. "Trump is not wearing a mask himself," but neither are Fauci and Birx during their interminable press conferences.
Give it up. It's a virus. It's here. It will spread. No hospital is overrun or short of ventilators or without PPE. Nothing of the sort is happening, despite liberal's deepest wish that millions of white Christians just ******* die already.
And yes, what seems to have flattened the curve significantly in the EU has been mandatory mask wearing in public, in shops and on public transport, the use of santizer and disinfectant, readily available everywhere for free, and the public's willingness to abide by social distancing norms. This is a world-wide pandemic, with ebbs and flows. The struggle is real and will continue until a vaccine can be implemented. We are in for the long haul, and the sooner people can wrap their heads around it, the better the chances of dealing with it effectively. Businesses and schools need to take the utmost precaution while somehow continuing to function.
Wow, talk about contradicting yourself. "Europe has a handle on it," followed by another story you post where the infection rate in France is forcing the government JUST ******* NOW to mandate masks, MONTHS after dozens of major population areas in the United States already did so, followed by your accurate statement that because it's a goddamn virus and not a house pet that can be ordered around, we have "ebbs and flows."
No **** Sherlock. You know who else is suffering ebbs and flows? California, with its severe lockdown, mask mandates, school closures back in March, cancellation of public gatherings, etc.
Huh, wonder what could account for the surge in California given the lockdown, no gatherings, mask mandate, businesses shut down, schools shut down, etc.
So we should allow protesters and rioters to go on looting and rioting, while shutting down legitimate businesses, schools, etc. Sounds great.

Why in the world would you have a single issue with that? Trump said, "I don't support government mandates" and pointed out that quite a few reasons exist that contradict a mask mandate, but that he personally believes in using masks.
You don't see the difference between a government mandate and sound personal actions for your own well-being? Should I brush my teeth 3x per day? Yes. Should government order me to do so? No.
Get it?
