In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States

With people still dying/getting this virus under the descending numbers model the US government prefers to see - how is it any individual death can be attributed (and trust me - they will) to states opening up too early?

Unless new cases/deaths fall to zero before the re-opening, governors are not protected from the critics.  And even then......

Because we track by state, not just by the country. Because we have already done this and already seen it. In theory, we are near that first bump's top and doing what both these cities below did - relaxing our measures because the worst is almost behind us. And geez what a doltish question. If the death rate goes up further again about a week or two after the relaxing of the measures, nobody is going to give a flying fuck about "any individual death," Kid. We're talking additional hundreds and maybe thousands of deaths and the way we will be able to attribute it is the same way we can see the impact of Mardi Gras in LA and to certain churches opening when they shouldn't have.

It's not rocket science, Kid. It's arithmetic and barely that. It's COUNTING. Protective measures? Rate of increases slows. Lack of protective measures? Rate of increase speeds up.

More bullshit from the bullshitter-in-chief. He's shutting immigration because he wants to shut immigration. If it were the "Invisible Enemy" he'd have done it a month ago and more. And the enemy isn't invisible. He appears on television every day, campaigning for next election.

Yes, I got that, asshole.

That was your whole point: if you cannot point to an individual death as being the governor's fault, then who is to say any of them the governor's fault! Or the president's! Why, they might have died anyway, even if I hadn't run them over!

It is so funny that you're using this bullshit argument right after you asked your specious question about suing the Chinese, as if you could have identified any individual death then, either!



So, sure. Governor of Florida announces the beach is open. Person A flocks to the beach. Person B flocks to the beach. Person A was already contagious. Person B catched COVID-19 from Person A. Person B dies.

We use Person A's cell phone to see who he was in contact with after he gets tested and we see he had contact with Person B, but it is too late to save Person B with Professor Donny Trump's Snake Oil and he dies.

But we can track INDIVIDUAL B's death to Governor Q's order. The same method will work anywhere we have adequate testing and tracking.

The governors of SC, GA, and TN are likely safe because none of their states has adequate testing or tracking, let alone both. That makes all individual deaths traceable instead to the President of the United States.

Satisfied?

He hates immigrants. He hates browns more than whites - this is long established for everybody not in denial.

But this is the easiest way to block the ones he wants to block - block them all.

After all, his power is absolute.

He hates being alive. Being donald trump is living constantly with inconceivable amounts failure, being the target of well justified and utterly deserved attacks, and unceasing mortal terror of the many murders with whom he is in bed, not to mention being dragged bodily into the street and being torn apart in a mass uprising. With these few issues occupying his attention, very little else has room to filter in.

Donald trump even hates you, Kiid, because you are in an infinitely better situation than he is in.

Really, we can.

Why the fuck we would bother is beyond me, Kid, but the tech is there. That's what the whole to do is concerning tracing who is in touch with whom and why that ought to have been in place as well as more thorough testing before any of these bozos posing as leaders was allowed to undo safeguards.

But like I said - other than you and people looking for somebody to blame for their own family member's moment of stupidity, the only reason for it is to see where the path of contagion was.
