Rather pointless/useless being on a discussion board with you ...


Rather pointless to judge everything off the early days of this crisis.

Early days being defined as Jan 1 through March 29?
Pop some Advil and chill!
Your TDS is making you ill.

And while you are at it better check on the Politics and Religion room. I hear Barton is raising a ruckus there.

A best case scenario is 100-200k and you have the nerve to spout some stupid TDS shit?

You and people like you have blood on your hands.
LOL!

Overheard on the daily Zoom call:

Teachers want schools to reopen before students learn to think for themselves.


And believed by people who don't understand teachers.
Or thinking.

A timeline of Trump's downplaying and ill-informed optimism.
https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2020/03/politics/coronavirus-trump-cdc-timeline/
Just from Dec 31 through the end of Feb (from a March 2 article), so it doesn't get into his next two weeks of more downplaying and ill-informed optimism (like touting unproven drugs)

Also, Trump's initial response team of Redfield, Azar and Messonier got sidelined and disappeared after a few weeks of failures.


Then there is this:
Quote
January 26
Chinese government health officials reveal for the first time that people who are infected with the coronavirus can spread the disease before they are showing any symptoms.

I knew this was public knowledge well before I left on Feb 19 for vacation.
So for two months we've known that pre-symptomatic people can be contagious.
And the asymptomatic info came out soon after.
Yet masks were dismissed in an orgy of caviling.

It is SOOOOOO funny that people have died because the GOP and FOX undermined the narrative about how serious this virus was.

And SOOOOOOOOO funny that their evangelical church leaders in some states have insisted on having their church services despite the viruse because they believed Trump's claim that this was a media plot or politically motivated quarantine and the virus was not a real problem.

Side-splitting laughter from the empathy-less Ward.

Some conservatives are breaking quarantine and/or sharing golf carts, etc...

to "stick it to the liberals."

The brokenness of that thinking is mind-boggling.

I just did the Census, they wanted to know my race, I do not know why, I just put White, they asked from where, and I honestly have no idea where my ancestors came from, I just told them that I am an American, and I do not know from where. I was born in California, my Mother was born in California, and my Father was born in Oregon, and for the last 200 years or more my family has been in the USA. 

We were the real life cowboys in my family tree.

Salute,

Tony V.

Current CNN headline

Trump and Task Force Speak as Death Toll Rises.


No info on the new issue - the necessity to come down hard on South American drug cartels.   That wouldn't get enough clicks.
