 Reading this last page here,  I had a premonition that someone would post a sealion pic.   Wow.   Three members supply the obvious reasons why Dems are more disenfranchised by the Wisconsin decision and it keeps barking for sardines.

Don't let the sealions wear you down.   Or...

Nolo te mare leones carborundum.

In potentially good news:

Model predicts that only 82,000 will have died as of 4 months from now.

Thanks

Hopefully it is even less.

I think you need more than

-  Democrats are more likely to vote absentee
-  Democrats are more concentrated in the big cities (numbers would help) and thus greater of their numbers need to wait in long lines
-  Democrats are poorer and thus cant afford as much as Republicans to take the half day off from their work (are you still using this one)

If it is important enough - voters will VOTE.

So maybe you need to add - Democrats do not find issues important enough (compared to republicans) that they will get through rain, sleet and snow (and roving bands of chickens) to cast their ballot.

Look at a fucking map of any state or federal election and note where the blue is and where the red turns up.

Yeah, Kid. There was "more than" the factors you named, asshole.

Fewer places to vote is one. Waiting in line for HOURS is another. Many did not get their absentee ballots is a third.

But why the fuck am I wasting virgin electrons on you when you only say what you want to and utter BULLSHIT like this after being given facts.

Invent your own fucking excuses like not caring enough...

When if your party wanted to make voting possible, it could - but they care too much to allow such a thing.

I may be wrong.

About how close you are, that is.

So more Democrats DO vote absentee?  Are there numbers?

So Wuhan finally was able to lift its lockdown.

My nearby hospital in Shanghai had sent 350 doctors and nurses to Wuhan to help fight the outbreak.  They returned to Shanghai last week on April 1.  I was over there today and they have a big billboard on the hospital grounds with a photo of each doctor who was assigned to fight the coronavirus in Wuhan, in appreciation.

Outside of Hubei Province, China reported just 128 deaths.
Control measures work if implemented and complied with.

You’re not a Republican you’re a member of the cult. You live in an altered state of reality.

Still a lot of precautions.
Everybody in SH wears a mask in public.
Well, except at bars, cafes, restaurants.
Some stores and buildings temp check everyone entering.
Apt buildings and courtyard entrances are manned by a guard, and you can't enter unless you live there or have a resident invite you.
People still encouraged to wash their hands frequently, and to limit their contacts.

I played basketball at one park on Sunday and kept my mask on the whole time I played.  One other guy put on his mask after a third team came over to our court and then plus a few spectators came over to our court.  At other baskets usually just one maybe two guys wear a mask while playing.  There were probably 50 guys at the 4 baskets.  The main downtown court has 6 baskets but for now is only admitting 30 people at a time.  So basically two games and 4 baskets for shooting around.

Not really sure how long precautions will remain in place.  I assume they want to clear all the cases, and then stay vigilant in case of a 2nd wave.  International flights into China fairly limited (Aeroflot stopped all international flights last week), and all arrivals are being screened, and those who need to are tested.

Dolt.

More Democrats TRIED to vote absentee. More than usual because of COVID-19.

Not "more Democrats DO vote absentee."

What we have kept telling you is that this year is unusual.

You keep ignoring it.
