    Once again, you only needed to do a short sharp and complete shutdown, to beat this thing into virtually nothing. Had America done that, you wouldn't be in this predicament today.

    America chose long term uncertainty and disruption instead.

    We wouldn't need to shutdown if people use common sense. Wear a mask and practice social distancing. When people can't follow simple rules thats when stricter rules are put in place.

    And yet the very people preaching that are the ones who condoned thru their silence and in some circumstances joined the riots and protest and then decided to exclude those events in tracking the virus. To add insult they released a report saying the protest and riots had no effect on the spread. You want to see the death of SD and masks? Look at those events, it killed them with the help of the liberals, not the conservatives.

    I'll wear a mask if the house owner or business owner ask me too. The govt? Nah those hypocrites can stick it.

    Not all of us. I'm personally VERY opposed to these protests (both for their terrible reasoning, and because it's outrageously irresponsible behaviour in a pandemic).

    So, you don't actually give a rip about the health issue.

    You're just poking around for something to whine about.

    Look. If we're going to work on the health issue, then we need to start paying attention to medical science and start calling for rational leadership.

    Right?

    Theories are explanatory arguments. Evidence is any statement that supports an argument (thus, evidence acts as a predicate).

    We've been through this already.

    That's what "head off" means, dude. To stop/block/prevent/etc... In this case, to stop/block/prevent the spread of a virus. Since the virus has already spread across the whole globe, testing obviously did not (and does not) "head off" a virus.

    Absolutely. That money, in essence, was wasted. The question, of course, is whether people will be screaming for more in the future - and will it be delivered?

    That does not "head off" a virus. It has already spread across the whole globe, dude...

    Immunity doesn't mean you'll never become infected with a virus ever again...

    There was a line of cars miles long this morning, in Dallas, waiting to get tested for the virus.

    There was, until 10am, when they ran out of test kits.

    Ooops.

    So when folks like Newsome, or Cuomo changed their narrative to only until there is a vaccine.... No? No comment there?

    Probably. Looks like we are going to have to ether let herd immunity work, or Johnson or Galaxo or whoever is going to bring an effective vaccine to the table needs to do so quickly. Clearly, the liberals aren't going to tolerate the racism of shutting down borders...

    Mantras (rooted in logical fallacies) are not valid arguments.

    That is indeed how this works.
