A question might start, "what do you think of....", "who do you think.....", "If such and such......"

A question might start, "what do you think of....", "who do you think.....", "If such and such......"

And yet, you did not write that. You wrote:
More misleading information from the Covid-19 Czar:

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/insurers-will-cover-virus-tests-but-costs-may-apply?fbclid=IwAR0pmgtS8iXjsCzPTb_8uksYDhXHdhl9LFBeTWmbouhCnodCHfQNVPVJi6E

Obamacare plans will cover the tests. Medicare and Medicaid plans, too.

But job related insurance is a lot less certain.

The crisis is being handled just fine

Stop being a dick.

So, I presented more evidence that it is not "being handled just fine."

Instead of asking any of those questions or repeating calling me a dick, you instead accused me of twisting the truth.

I asked you how I had twisted things and gave some examples. Since then, you have been coy, pretending ignorance and refusing to answer direct questions.

So, okay - a question:

Why do you accuse me of being a dick for pointing out the truth, then act like a huge dick yourself? And why can't you just say, "Okay, I was wrong," instead of all this infantile dancing?

Don't re-post messages after you show us you have the capacity to change them.  (not that I am accusing you of that here)

but ok, sure - the czar MISLED.  There may be co-pays

By the way, I still have no fever, though I do have some symptoms

What should I do?  I think some of those Asian casino-goers have to be suspect, no?  Should I demand a test?

According to everything I have read and heard (except here), you should (a) stay home, (b) track your symptoms, and (c) if you notice they are getting worse, you should call your PCP and ask for their input as to next actions.

And you should stop being an asshole on the messageboard.

If I change the original, it says that I have edited it. So, when I include a snippet that has the identifying link, there is no problem with my re-posting them. Anybody who cares can see.

How magnanimous of you.

Trump lied. Trump lied again. Trump lied a bunch more. These are all about the novel coronavirus, its testing, its spread. and more.

Trump refused the WHO tests. Then the tests are being made by a company he had an interest in and for which we see no record of his letting go that interest.

Trump wants the cruise ship to not dock so thatour numbers don't go up.

The administration made the CDC take information off their website.

And all you can bring yourself to say is that the Czar (that is to say, Vice President Pence) lied.

"Good Lord," indeed, Kid. Wore yourself out with that meager capitulation. You sound sick. You should stay home.

Trying to win the LADT election is the same mistake military strategists make when they plan for the last war.
The GOP is gonna have to spend in the South because it’s no longer safe territory.

Isn't that the same mistake Hillary made?
She was trying to expand the map and win AZ and such and forgot to lock down the midwest base she needed to win, which was Trump's only path to victory.  Dems gotta win VA, PA, MICH.  Then target WI and NC.  After that the trickier OH and FLA.  AZ, GA and TX are not essential if the Dems take care of where they should win.

They are saying now in some circles that an estimated 475,000 Americans could lose their lives.

I wouldn't recommend facemasks until the death toll hits 500k ...

"Believe a couple of things are true here.  One is THE PANIC IS OVERBLOWN.  This is not the type of public health crisis YET ...in the way people are treating it ...in the way they are approaching it in some sections of the media"

"The flu is very serious.  We have a very high level of flu in America right now.  So people should take this seriously, but don't freak out.  Don't panic.  Don't turn into a Black Friday mob at the Costco when you are trying to prepare for this"

The current death rate for the coronavirus is 25 times that of the flu, which means if it becomes as widespread as the flu there could be 250,000 deaths. Yeah, there is some ridiculous panicking going on, but officials and the news media are right to raise the alarm.

AZ, TX and.GA all have Senate races. AZ at least is a potential pick up for Dems, maybe Georgia. It will behoove the national party and the presidential candidate to pay some attention to those states, particularly if polling puts them in play.
