Stay the course!


We've got to avoid a second wave. Learn from Denver 1918. Just eerie.

Democrats want to stay the course, and make sure everyone is healthy enough to venture back to something near normal. It's frustrating at times, but we need to do it.

Republicans, on the other hand, want their hair and nails done NOW ! And their confederate tattoos! They want it now - and don't care which lives are lost in the process. Hair, nails and tats are much more important than saving someone's life.

I don't know who or what those protestors are, but they need to simmer down. No reason to get innocent people killed. I believe we can begin to reopen gradually.... We're just going to need a whole lot of supplies to do it - and we are out of them in most local stores.

Speaking to donors during a phone call Tuesday night, former Vice President Joe Biden said the Wuhan coronavirus crisis has been "exciting" because it gives Democrats an opportunity to pursue their far-left political agenda.

"I believe because sort of, the blinders have been taken off because of this Covid crisis. I think people are realizing, 'My Lord, look at what is possible.

Mental patient.

Yes, getting through the quarantine is going to take mental patients.

You voted for him, I didn't. We warned you he was not mentally fit for office, buy you T-rumptards voted for him.

I'm glad you're using NYT as a source. So many idiots here seem to feel NYT specifically can't tell a true story ever, and it's become a serious assault on democracy when we are told we can't believe in our own free press.

Nice joke.

Abraham Lincoln thrived on the press. They always tried to surprise him or catch him off guard. Most of the time they did, but that's how he stayed current with the issues!

Yes. NYT isn’t what it used to be. Did you read the article, singular, on Tara Reade’s allegations? It’s been news for weeks now it took them 14 days until their story was printed. Just for context, they printed several dozen stories on Blasey Ford’s allegations within that same time frame.

They even edited after the fact, per Biden’s camp and didn’t even post it as an edited article.

How can you be so willfully Ignorant to the facts that NYT is a left wing news agency?

Ignorance is Strength, innit? Indoctrinated much, snowflake?

reply

Oh no, it started with the movie theaters in Denver too!

Same with Las Vegas

I like Cuomo's response...

"Go get a job as an essential worker."

There’s 100 years of evidence that the flu VIRUS dies off every year at this time. There’s none evidence that the woohoo floohoo is slowing down for anything other than the same reason.

Social distancing was to spread the wave out, not stop the wave.

Go get educated and stop citing garbage propaganda. Think for yourself, if that’s possible.

reply

You must have completely missed educating yourself on a few viruses.

reply

Oh my.

So, the lesson from 1918 was to stay sheltered for twice as long as they did. Got it.

What did you learn?

reply

Death rate has dropped for 11 weeks in a row. From 16,500 in mid April to just over 300 last week. Let’s review for the lemmings:

- dropped 11 weeks in a row
- down 99%
- down 16,200 a week
- 300 < 16,500
- mortality rate under .5%
- it’s not 1918

Try harder.

reply

Social distancing was working!

Thank you for providing the data.
