And let's review some common sense methods of defense if you do have to go out in public. Quality face masks and respirators can indeed help everyone avoid contracting and passing on the dread pirate Coronavirus. Supply problems aside, breathing filters at or above the quality of an N-95 mask will be a vast improvement over not wearing anything at all in a supermarket teaming with Covid-19 droplets. A billion Asians can't be wrong, and a goddamned wet handkerchief would probably be better than nothing. 

This virus is primarily transmitted by breathing in coughed droplets from an infected person, which can also enter the body through a number of other methods after those same particles are picked up by hands that are sucked on or rubbed into the eye etc. The virus can thrive in fecal matter and be deposited on a door handle or loaf of bread. A decent properly fitting mask, a pair of tight fitting glasses or goggles, and some light gloves, just like the doctors do, will help you prevent infection and spread while in public. And sanitize! Thousands of dudes who achieve their manhood through beards will be screwed. You've got to have a good seal. The more diligent we are, the faster we will return to normalcy.
 
It's also worth noting that the United States is the only country in the world to turn down the WHO's Covid 19 testing kits so that Oscar Health Corporation- owned by the Kushners, can monopolize and profit from the entire US contract (last year their company lost $110 million dollars, twice as much as in 2018). There is a still vast shortage of tests and supplies to combat the spread. Vote.
 
For the record, I don't trust or endorse any politicians as a rule. I'm forced to chose some over others to try and save my love ones from being slaughtered by used gameshow hosts. All politicians make mistakes. And most of them don't mind lining their pockets. Caesar was doing a great job for the Romans until he got bored and started a pointless war to enrich his dwindling coffers, and that's when his senators said enough, stabbed him 29 times, each man taking a turn, and made the slaves clean it up. 

Back in the old days of the U.S. Congress, if any senator had the balls and lack of brains to keep holding up common sense pandemic response legislation over their own petty whims like one asshole from Kentucky keeps doing time and again, he'd probably be caned to death on the senate floor. Our current snake oil salesman, sociopath in chief, six-time bankruptcy champ, has already got a lot of nice Americans killed after firing all the reputable scientists he could get his hands on, defunding the Center for Disease Control and closing the office of Pandemic response. And through his lame, months late, blame-shifting smoke and mirrors, helped destabilize the global economy. The CDC is under the jurisdiction of the Executive branch, which means that the president IN OFFICE takes full control over its future the day he steps into the White House. Justice will be served. But the damage is already done. Good luck America!
