MASK MANDATES WORK:
‘Natural Experiment’ Paints Clear Picture: Masks Work.
“Rachel Maddow shares a chart from researchers at the University of Kansas that compares average daily coronavirus cases over time between areas of Kansas with a mask mandate and areas with no mask mandate.”
–Graphs comparing case numbers jump off the page.
Mask mandate counties: Stay flat.
No-mask mandate counties: Take off inexorably, cases doubled.
The science could not be clearer. âIt is super, super, super clear.â
-MASKS WORK.
Professor Donna Ginther, researcher in the study above, speaks to Maddow:
âYouâve got the whole point. Cases were flat in counties that had a mask mandate
and the rate of growth exceeded in those counties without.â
Maddow: “Were you surprised to arrive at such clear cut findingsâŚthe results did leap off the page.â
Professor Ginther:
âWe looked at it early on and we really didnât see any effect. And so about 6 weeks later we did the analysisâŚa week ago or so.âŚand as you said it just leapt off the page. We didnât have to do any sophisticated statistical modeling at all. We just ran the regressions and we did those estimates…”
Maddow: âYouâre at the University of Kansas. You are Director of the Institute for Policy and Social Research. This is Kansas-specific study of a Kansas âNatural Experimentâ that was created by a peculiarity of the Kansas policy making process in the time this pandemic. I have to ask if your research and your findings here, are proving influential in Kansas. If this has led to any discussion about re-considering whether there ought to be a statewide mandate, or whether some of those counties that opted out
might want to change their minds.â
Professor Ginther:
âThe governor and the legislative leaders met today. And they decided to be more proactive about encouraging local governments to use masks. They stopped short of a mandate, but they are speaking with one voice about the importance of masks in the state. So I remain hopeful that we can move in the right direction.â
Maddow: âOne of the variables that I was interested in, in your study, is that while there were 20 states that you described as plainly implementing the mask mandate. And those states ended up being represented by the blue line on that graph. There were a small number of states that decided to go along with the mandate, but you considered them to not have effectively implemented it.
Can you describe that a little bit, those in-between counties?â
Professor Ginther:
âThe ones where the city said thereâs a mask mandate, but the county didnât.
So those are mixed or partial compliance. There were counties that took the mask mandate very late in the game. And so they havenât had enough time to have the mandate take effect. And then there were the counties that didnât enforce. If they didnât enforce, then the mask mandate wasnât effective. If we put the partial compliance counties in, the case rates donât fall by 50%. They fall by about 30%. So what we did with the 50% number is we compared âAlways mask wearingâ to âNever mask wearingâ, as opposed to the partial compliers. So even with âpartial complianceâ you still see a very large effect.â
Maddow:
âThatâs importantâŚ.weâve seen arguments from some governors in other states for example who have said ‘I donât think everybody will go along with it even if I do put in a mandateâ. But even with partial compliance you see a benefit. This is just incredibly, incredibly valuable research Professor Ginther.â
I had chills listening to this. Thank you to The Neely's for this powerful reminder to vote. For so many of us, it wasn't that long ago that not everyone had the right to do so â every vote and voice matters. https://t.co/5sTfur0lBr

No one mocks Trump like Barack Obama

Add to list
Former president Barack Obama is traveling to swing states to make the case for the Democratic presidential ticket, but his most effective contribution is in exposing and mocking President Trumpâs inanities. Obama does not deploy goofy slurs or conspiracy theories; instead, he reminds us that what we are seeing is ridiculous, abnormal and unacceptable.
In Orlando on Tuesday, Obama told the crowd, âOur current president, he whines that â60 Minutesâ is too tough,â he said referring to Trumpâs walking out of an interview last week with CBS Newsâs Lesley Stahl. âYou think heâs going to stand up to dictators? He thinks Lesley Stahlâs a bully.â He does not need to say Trump is a âcrybabyâ or âweakâ; he lets Trump indict himself with his own conduct.
Obama also twists the knife on foreign policy. He pointed out that on Monday, Trump said that Russiaâs Vladimir Putin, Chinaâs Xi Jinping and North Koreaâs Kim Jong Un all want him to win. âWe know!â Obama said, laughing. âWe know because youâve been giving them whatever they want for the last four years. Of course they want you to win. Thatâs not a good thing. You shouldnât brag.â
Obama does not need to label Trump ânutsâ or a âconspiracy monger.â Again, Obama simply needs to point out what Trump has done and asks the audience whether itâs normal. â[Our] president of the United States retweeted a post that claimed that the Navy SEALs didnât actually kill [Osama] bin Laden. Think about that. And we act like, well, okay. Itâs not okay.â He added: âWeâve gotten so numb to what is bizarre behavior. We have a president right now who lies multiple times a day, and this is not my claim. Even Fox News sometimes says, well, what he says, isnât really true, he didnât mean it. Itâs not normal behavior. We wouldnât tolerate it from a coworker. We wouldnât tolerate it from a football coach. We wouldnât tolerate it from a high school principal. I mean, we might have to put up with it if it was a family member, but we talk about them afterward.â
Our Democracy in Peril: A series on the damage Trump has caused â and the danger he would pose in a second term
With his relaxed body language and humorous delivery, Obama conveys in these short vignettes what pundits and psychologists have spent years analyzing. In doing so, he makes clear to those who do not follow politics routinely that this is not hard. You donât have to be a political junkie or policy wonk to figure out something is very, very wrong with Trump.
Obama also makes a serious point that taps into votersâ embarrassment and disgust with Trumpâs conduct. The former president argues that when people see Trump behave in aberrant ways, it âemboldens other people to be mean and cruel and divisive and racist and it frays the fabric of our lives. It affects the way our children see things.â He adds: âIt affects the way our families get along. It affects the way the world looks at America and it distracts from the truly destructive actions that his cronies are doing all across the government as we speak, actions that affect your lives.â
Moreover, by pointing out how obvious Trumpâs defects are, Obama delivered a devastating blow to Republicans. These people who fancied themselves as âvaluesâ voters are now moral nihilists for whom nothing Trump does can be grounds for rejecting him. It is one of many reasons voters need to sweep not only Trump, but also his fellow Republicans out of office.

I have been enjoying Kamala’s and Joe’s stump speeches more and more. Joe has to be serious as he is closing in with the “bringing all parties together”. But Kamala brightens my day every time I listen to her. It is like she is talking to you as a dear friend.
PRESIDENT OBAMA
In Orlando yesterday:
“We were focused on COVID now, the White House wouldnât be having its second outbreak in a month.”
“Listen, youâve got a president right now, he wants full credit for an economy that he inherited, he wants zero blame for the pandemic he ignored.”
“Joe Biden has concrete plans and heâs got concrete policies that will turn our vision of a better fairer, stronger country into a reality.”
“South Korea had its first case of COVID at the same time, the same week as the United States. Do you know that their per capita death rate is just 1.3% of what ours is? Think about that statistic.
Iâve given this statistic a couple of times and people havenât really focused on it.
The number of people in Korea who have died of COVID per capita is less than 1.5%.
What our death rate is. Thatâs thousands and thousands of people,
if we had been as effective and responsible, whose lives would have been saved in this country.”
“Donald Trump likes to claim he built this economy, but I just want to remind you that America created 1.5 million more jobs in the last three years of the Obama Biden administration than in the first three years of the Trump Pence administration. Thatâs a fact. Look it up.”
“Black unemployment hit almost 17% during the great recession 10 years ago,
and through a lot of hard work, Joe Biden and I helped get it down, and it kept on going down, not because Trump did anything. And then this year, because they screwed up the pandemic response, itâs soared back up to above 17% here in Florida.”
“Joe Biden has a plan to create 10 million good clean energy jobs right here in America.
Itâs part of his plan to protect Florida from climate change and secure environmental justice, and heâs going to pay for it by rolling back those tax cuts to billionaires.”
“For the last 10 years, every two weeks, they say, âWeâre going to have a great healthcare plan.â
You know where it is? Because I donât. The reason they donât have a plan is because a plan doesnât exist. Theyâve never had one. Theyâve instead attacked the Affordable Care Act at every turn, driving up costs, driving up the uninsured.”
“Just yesterday, just yesterday, he said that Putin of Russia, Xi of China, and Kim Jong-Un of North Korea
want him to win. We know! We know because youâve been giving them whatever they want for the last four years. Of course they want you to win. Thatâs not a good thing. You shouldnât brag about the fact that some of our greatest adversaries think theyâd be better off with you in office. Of course they do. What does that say about you? I mean, think about that. Why are you bragging about that? Come on. And that doesnât make any sense.
I mean, listen, our President of the United States retweeted a post that claimed that the Navy SEALs didnât actually kill bin Laden. Think about that.
And we act like, well, okay.
Itâs not okay.”

Nope. It was exactly the right thing to do for two reasons:
1. Keeps #SCOTUS from any justification for intervening now; and
2. Prevents the PA legislature from pointing to commingled ballots as the reason why the election âfailedâ and appointing a different slate of electors.

The president knew how bad this crisis would be. And instead of working to protect American families, he sat on the information and now more than 227,000 people have died.
You can't make this up: Yesterday, the White House science office put out a statement listing "ending the COVID-19 pandemic" as the top accomplishment of President Trump's first term. https://t.co/46VkWJE0GN
Itâs unthinkable that Senate Republicans have left the American people hanging without passing additional COVID-19 relief, but instead jammed through Trump judges.
Martin Luther King Jr. talked about police brutality at the March on Washington in 1963. Almost 60 years have passed, and we are still addressing this injustice.
We have just six more days left in this election â and the American people have the power in their hands to put our country on a vastly different path.
âIâm not doing it because I love my wife,â @DouglasEmhoff said of vice presidential nominee @KamalaHarris. âIâm doing it for my country. Iâm doing it for @JoeBiden, and Iâm doing it so we can have change. I do love her, but Iâm doing it for our country.âhttps://t.co/hKKWpTA8Ms
