    A majority of independents have grown tired of Trump’s absurdities to the point where they no longer care if Biden ends up winning, and that’s the math Trump’s loyalists will figure out on November 4th.

    Should financial concerns not be part of the equation?

    Spreading among young people who refuse to social distance. How would you suggest Trump stop them from partying?

    Of course they should. No one wanted for an economic shutdown, and no one wanted it to last longer than it had to. But those states that were too early in re opening are now seeing devastation in terms of cases. So it is plain to see that money was put ahead of lives.

    Pretending for a moment that the tests are reliable and accurate, increasing the numbers of people being tested WILL increase the numbers of positive results. Simple math tells you that.

    The most likely explanation for that is that indeed, the virus is everywhere. The plandemic already happened, and most people infected have survived. Most healthy people infected will survive. The weak and infirm will die.

    Yes really, if one accepts the stuff printed on the front page of NYT, the deaths have been declining for several weeks now. I'm no fan of NYT, but I do read their front page headlines pretty much daily. Maybe they are being truthful with the declining death stats. Other sources show the same decline.

    Repeating propaganda does not make it become true.

    The Covid Apocalypse is a major propaganda effort.

    The large amount of people who have been exposed AND infected, but never tested. I know dozens in that category.

    Hey, how do they know they've had it if they never got tested? Just wondering.

    Not devastating at all and opening up wasn’t too early unless you believe we can’t open up until Covid is gone but if you wait that long the American economy will also be gone.

    It's really subjective. Some people are NOT happy with Cuomo's response and some people are happy with Trump's response. Further, many people cannot handle the cold, hard truths of life. The truths still exists even if some people don't want to hear/see it.


    P.S. Ted Alexandro is a stand-up comedian. He is a former school teacher. He did a bit in which someone said something and added "You do the math." and Ted replies "There's no numbers in what you just said." LOL

    I'll take that back - it wasn't necessarily too early. But it was done without regulations in place - like mask wearing. It was too early for bars, certainly, because masks can't be worn the same way.

    "Some people" can be said to do anything

    The vast majority of New Yorkers found Cuomo's leadership well received.

    The opposite is true for Trump

    He knows dozens of people who had runny noses and claim they were infected.

    Until lately mask have been good one day useless the next and remember Fauci originally said they did no good at all. I do believe evidence is in now they are effective and should be worn. Bars are the one business I agree probably can’t be safely opened until this is over and I think bar owners and employees should be compensated until they can open.

    By the time the openings began, mask evidence was solid.

    yup

    until such time as antibodies are tested in everyone, the doom and gloomers will have a field day.

    in all likelyhood, its going to continue to spread elsewhere after it peaks in the areas its peaking now, then somewhere else will have a peak, and we will keep shuffling along.

    Early on when masks were in such short supply that hospital workers were having to wear ONE for an entire shift...Fauci was trying to prevent people who were not front line workers from snatching the available supply up.

    If you didn't understand that it was because you you didn't want to.

    Fauci said that if we are not careful in how we open up we could have 100,000 infections per day.

    We many states were not careful and infections nearly doubled already to 56,000.

    The man should be listened to. He knows what he is talking about

    They had all the symptoms, with the most common theme of "At first I thought I had the flu, but soon realized it wasn't the flu". Some strong symptoms some mild symptoms.

    :sleepy: ~ It's doubtful anyone is even listening to Fauci flip-flop these days. One thing I notice about this political hack is he never mentions what we have learned from the Spanish Flu of 1918 - the likely cause of the rebound "second wave" .
    This dude is far more suspicious than scientist . Trump should dump him at once.

    Donald at this moment is not in control of the government, if he ever was.

    But you're right--Tony the Gnome is very much the terrorist, having terrorized the country since the beginning of the year.
