    He's only 3 years older than him :D So childish

    Like any bully, mocking people is all he has. It's even more childish considering he lost to Biden in the debate.

    Joe wears two masks. Did he forget he was already wearing one?

    Do you have anything constructive to add or are you just going to dump nonsense here?

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Pathetic.

    In relation to Biden wearing two masks, some masks are cheap and flimsy, I often use a sheet of kitchen paper to line the mask I use myself.

    Eh?

    No , not even a little bit.

    Below is the current polling.

    1st column is what the polls say right now , 2nd and 3rd columns are those polls adjusted for difference between polling and actual results in the previous 2 elections.

    So - Even if the polls are as inaccurate as they were in 2016 he still wins by a comfortable margin both in the Popular vote and the Electoral college.

    If the polling is off in the way that it was in 2012 when they significantly over estimated the GOP vote , then Biden wins in a rout of Historic proportions

    2020 2016 2012
    U.S. +10 Biden +7 Biden +14 Biden
    N.H. +11 Biden +8 Biden +14 Biden
    Minn. +10 Biden +2 Biden +11 Biden
    Wis. +9 Biden +1 Biden +12 Biden
    Mich. +9 Biden +4 Biden +13 Biden
    Pa. +8 Biden +3 Biden +9 Biden
    Neb. 2* +8 Biden +9 Biden +3 Biden
    Nev. +7 Biden +9 Biden +10 Biden
    Ariz. +5 Biden +3 Biden +3 Biden
    Maine2* +5 Biden +6 Trump +10 Biden
    Fla. +5 Biden +2 Biden +6 Biden
    N.C. +3 Biden +2 Trump +3 Biden
    Iowa +2 Biden +5 Trump +6 Biden
    Ohio +2 Biden +5 Trump +2 Biden
    Ga. +1 Biden <1 Trump <1 Biden
    Texas +2 Trump +4 Trump +3 Trump

    So - No , the polling is not "looking better" for Trump at all.

    You have no idea about the functions of different type of masks, do you?

    He is wearing one mask to protect himself, and another to protect others. They are two different type of masks, but it goes to show how uninformed you are.

    Donald wears no masks. Did he forget he had covid less than a week ago and already hosted what has been termed a superspreader event at the White House resulting in over 30 attendees testing positive?

    See how easy this is? I don't even need a picture to back up my post.

    Can you explain that a bit more out of interest?

    Some masks filter the air as you breathe out. That’s that outer mask in this picture, I believe. Other masks filter the air as you breathe in, the inner mask here.

    I work in a clean room. Up to March this year, we wore the outer type every day. It was to protect the machines we build from the particles we breath out. Does very little for what you breath in. If they was hazardous dust exposed, in our case tin dust, then we had to put on the outer type. It’s quite common.

    We had to switch mask types in March as the world was running out.

    RE Two masks - looks like two disposable masks. Nearly all masks provide protection for the wearer and others (The general exception being those ventilated masks designed for trade - they normally only protect the wearer as the have an unsealed valve to let air out to make it more comfortable to work in).

    Ideally a mask should have a filter - i.e. an outer layer to catch larger particles and a filter for smaller ones. But over time the mask (if single layer) or filter will become saturated as its being breathed on constantly. Having a second mask when only disposable ones are available would mean the outer one can be changed when saturation point is near.
    When saturation point is reached you effectively have your mouth touching all the wet particles so it would be a good idea to swap out.

    So therefore I can see a situation for two masks arising in the case of an expected prolonged contact time (with other people) and only disposable masks available.

    Call that lame if you want, but I would call you a moron in return :pac:

    Polls looking eerily similar to 2016. Another 4 years of Donald

    ye - that in/out applies for larger particles - for virus, then nearly any mask will do both ways (remember - its really only to catch the bigger droplets etc - the tiniest vapour can still get through)

    It only takes a very quick look into the details of the polling to realise that this is not the case.

    Donalds bookmakers odds are also shorter in 2020 than they were in 2016

    Joe Biden 4/9

    Donald Trump 7/4

    You should sell everything you own and put all the money on Trump if you are so sure he will win.

    You didn't provide a link for your last assertion. Have you a link for this one?

    Sure, the N95 respiratory mask protects the wearer.
    The surgical masks (two- or three layer) masks, protect others from the wearer.

    By wearing both, like Biden did, he is protecting himself AND others.

    There is nothing stupid or pathetic about it, like some uninformed people expressed.

    He was 9/2 in 2016 . He was 5/2 actually just 2 weeks ago for this election . The tide is turning in his favour

    He was evens a month ago

    How is it turning in his favour? Even Fox News has said polls have been favouring Biden recently.

    Fair few reasons to be wearing two, eg he was in flight when he wore two so might simply have been for added protection. Or if it was vented, a secondary mask would eliminate that risk of infecting others. The indications from this thread is it might have been vented so it's pretty sensible.
