It's always been obvious that the majority of our fellow countrymen are woefully out of touch with reality, but once in a while you come across data that dramatically confirms it. Imagine thinking that 20% of the population earns more than a million dollars. Or that 30% are homosexual and 41% are black. In fairness if you watch TV and advertising a lot, it's easy to see how you might get that impression.
It has been documented that Democrats are still more likely to stay at home than go out to work, shop or eat at restaurants . They are more likely to still be wearing masks and requiring school children to do the same. They obviously believe that these actions somehow reduce the instance of Covid infection, but the charts below say otherwise. As we continue to find out, all the hysterical "safety precautions" may make you feel better about yourself, but they do not actually make you safer.
When California lifted its mask mandate, Santa Clara County insisted on keeping theirs. The infection rates in Santa Clara are identical to those without masks. What should that tell you about the effectiveness of mask mandates. They have nothing to do with health and everything to do with political posturing.
