    Yeah, I've raised that point to other people about all the precautions we are taking. Not about what you mentioned with Italy, I didn't know that. But a common argument is Asia. We are not Asia though.

    Alright fine so the most populated areas people benefit from wearing a mask. Assuming that's true, why does Farmer John out in no where Texas also have to follow the same rules?

    The other thing I really can't get my head wrapped is I've been taught growing up and told by doctors that I am not contagious until I am showing symptoms. I've always assumed that, and as a society we seem to have always operated under that. Now all of the sudden it's different. Anyone and everyone can crop dust masses of people without knowing anything and hundreds of people will get infected and die. Really?

    I have never heard until now that asymptomatic people can be walking death clouds. I just.... I don't know. This whole thing is just weird.

    Where is the option for those who haven't? I don't see it...
    They have had it or knows someone that has and that's it.

    I could just tick some boxes just to add some confusion.

    Never mind me. I don't get it. ;)

    You're missing my point. By not voting for the option that they've had it, they're saying they haven't had it. If I started a new poll asking how many people currently own a 1967 Chevy pickup and 10 people answered yes, would I really need an question on the poll asking how many people don't own a 1967 Chevy pickup, or would I assume that the people who answered were the only people who own one that viewed the poll?

    I am missing you point. I would think you would want to know how many didn't own that year, and phrase the poll so the there were fewer options where they couldn't make two conflicting votes.

    If you didn't care for how many didn't, you could just ignore that part of it and compare the other end with what was presented by the media.

    i dont know anyone that personally contracted this disease. i dont drive OTR, i only pickup farms in wyoming and genesee counties in ny state. i live in wyoming co. we have only had 120 cases aprox in the county. i feel like it's not much of a threat here but the masks are forced upon us. im tired of the whole thing honestly.


    i will say that early on, there were a couple of cases at oatka milk products, the plant i frequently deliver raw milk to.

    O-AT-KA Milk Products

    other then that i havent heard of any additional cases at oatka, and there doesn't seem to be much of a threat of this where i live, or operate the truck.

    i am quite sure they have done massive harm to the economy over this nonsense. it IS indeed a real virus, however it has been greatly manipulated for political gains. they have made a massive mess, way worse then the virus itself

    If the people of this country were smart we would vote out the people responsible for escalating this covid nonsense. Schiff and Pelosi should go, my own state of ny governor as well. He's on his 3rd full term, another term would be ridiculous. We need term limits on all government offices from coast to coast.

    I hope the majority are smart enough not to vote for extremist biden/Harris

    This country is in a very sad state, instead of working with our president for the better of this country they have been conspiring to attack him since the day he was sworn in.
