@1a listening to today’s show while sewing face masks that I distribute free at bus stops (along with a second, paper mask) in my metro area. I’ve given out nearly1,000. But with the new guidelines, is my project becoming obsolete? #freemasks. #Busstopmasks

@TheTakeaway do vaccines totallyprevent covid-19 or just reduce the chance of serious cases? Important to make this distinction.

140,000 deaths couldn’t sway the @POTUS on masks; distancing.
But a spate of disastrous polls finally did.

Free masks at bus stops!. If u can’t sew, buy 10 masks. Put each one in a plastic sandwich bag with a note and hashtag #busstopmasks. Place at bus stops in your area. Post a pic with the hashtag. https://t.co/I9pNnKQfnj

#FunFactFriday! Aside from the 2 major parties, MO recognizes 3 others: Libertarian, Green and Constitution. To maintain established status, a state-level party must poll its candidate for any statewide office +2% of the total votes cast at either of the last 2 general elections.

The health and fitness of any Presidential candidate for the rigors of the office is a legitimate issue. Video of Trump shows he is unwell. Why did he have difficulty sipping water? why is he slurring words? why is he incoherent in speech? Why can he barely walk?
