    That shoe is as ugly as Leborn James is and is fitting for a clown shoe that belongs on a clown. Of course they don't care how they get the shoes because they only pretend to care about other people.

    I was helping my family clean my grandmother's house out this weekend and there was an old box from Belk in there. It was at least 65 years old. It was round and had a small rope for a handle. After all those years of sitting there, it was still pristine and the rope was still strong. It's amazing how well things were made back when we didn't depend on cheap sweat shops.

    The WHO said the amount of people who died was like 3.4% or something back in the day. Italy put it on +4%. Trump didn't believe it and was downplaying it with his hunch that it wouldn't be so bad. So I dunno who you think who lied. But it's bloody obvious that it's Turmp! He flip floppped from lets open up at Easter to suddenly, it is going to be really bad the upcoming weeks... 100.000 to 200.000 deaths. That's a flip flop of the century. Cmon.


    South Korea tested the population on a massive scale. 10.000's of people got tested everyday. And with that, they were able to see how had it, who not, and so who had to stay in. That's how they curved around the lock down. The US doesn't do that strategy.


    Could be avoided. True. But the US doesn't have the lets bow to each other instead of shaking hands, lets wear face masks because we wear face masks all the time anyways, let's be obedient lil bastards... none of that. Hence.. how you can suggest to avoid lock down... Dunno.

    All you see happening is, how it is going to go down without all that.
    And Donald's predictions are that the US will get slaughtered.

    It's not about isolationism. It's about being less dependent on others. When gas was4+ a gallon everyone was yammering about energy independence... same here, we are too dependent on other nations

    Right. Like celebrities singing songs and reading books so poor kids don't go hungry.

    Thanks guys, nothing quells hunger like hearing Amy Schumer read a book or the Goo Goo Dolls sing "Hero".

    'Hug a Chinese guy' during a Chinese origin pandemic is NOT a Right of Center philosophy. Labeling leftist political activities, rightwing doesn't actually alter the meaning of rightwing.

    Snakes are good if you cook them right. I usually eat the ones I kill on my property, BUT, I actually cook them. Bats? Hell no.

    If a person on the right made this comment, you'd be labeling them a racist. Your 'Washington resident' is Chinese....Asian. 'We went there'?? No, a Chinese person went there and brought it back.

    Blame America for everything....amirite? :bored:

    This was NOT about "illegals". These people flew in to the US LEGALLY

    Agenda much ? It's laughable that you think this virus had ANYTHING to do with illegal immigrations. This virus got transported on Airplanes by people with visa's and passports legally entering our country

    The death rate vary according to the medical equipement. I don't remember the percent of people that need respiration assitance, if I'm not wrong it's around 20 %.
    So, apparently, the death rate without medical equipement could be much higher than 2 to 5 percent.

    In France, death that happened into retirement houses were not counted, having the real death rate is somehow complicate.

    It's too late to avoid lockdown. A lockdown could have maybe avoided if there were a massive campaign of testing everybody, it seems to have been a very important elelement, which would have required to prepare the logistic of such campaign, because the test aren't created magically of thin air. Apparently, germany has less difficulties facing the coronavirus crisis, they shake hands and don't have the face mask culture, but they're apparently the european country which tested the most it's own inhabitant.
    It's not only the "bow down", "face mask" culture, it's also that the authorities of east asia have reacted in a quickier manner.

    A wide variety of different kind of government have failed considering this issue, either conservative or progressive. I really don't appreciate the left, without feeling part of the right, but I suppose that this issue go beyond the left/right divide.

    I only recall that Donald was such an idiot to rip families apart, with no clue where the children went from whose parents. It's a freaking disaster and a violation of the rights of children. That's what the fuss was about. Other than that, it's basically the same policies of Obama. You know... as if you didn't know I know.

    But--but-- one world governed by the UN??? If we depend on each other we can't fight???? the same people who sent our mfg out of the country are now clamoring to get it back. Try and remember how long it took to send it away and get some idea how fast it will 'snap' back.

    You previously blamed the left for not closing shop soon enough. And when I noted it's the right wing who governs Italy, you -instead of admitting the right was just slow here as well- you're just never minding your goalpost and make a new one to shoot at. Oh how petty of you. Do note,... that hug a Chinese guy thing,... it was all perfectly fine to pass out hugs to anybody by the right wing government. No lock down, no social distancing. That right wing government even announced they were going to lock down a part of Italy, making those people flee with their Corona all over Italy instead of sitting put and waiting for the government to lock it down. Nice going!

    I'm not suggesting a snap back, I'm suggesting a permanent survival strategy.

    It's something like 20%. But I checked. The healthcare in Italy is 2nd best of the world after France. So you know... 20% is just an overwhelming amount. And that 20% needs to be treated for weeks on end.

    Indeed. And in that regard... the US reacted sluggish, slow,... and that was on purpose. Donald had this hunch, remember. It all wouldn't be so bad. It would vanish, with the % of how deadly it is were out. He gambled wrong, and now people die by a lot in the US.

    Yeah well. The right mocked the left in the US. They made it a show about that it's being politicized and so forth, downplaying the deadly nature all over the place,... to even call it a hoax. Dunno why you think the incompetent should be left alone and go forth with spreading their fake news of it won't be so bad, lets open things up at Easter... when we all know the morgues will be stocking up corpses like the biggest idiot hording toilet paper as if wiping your butt will safe the day.

    The point made in the OP was that the US should be manufacturing themselves.

    I guess you don't realize that ol Dirty Donald did exactly what Obama did concerning child separation. In America, when a parent commits a crime, their kids don't get to join them in their prison cell.....just as in every country on the planet as far as I know.

    If they don't want to be separated....then don't cross the border illegally. It is the worthless parent's fault and that's that.

    Would you prefer that the kids are handcuffed and placed in the adult holding cells? Obama had some fancy cages that may still be available.

    It's a pity that the facts, including DNA analysis of the virus itself, do not support the claim that it all started in virus.

    We will never get all our mfg system back and when this emergency subsides China will still have most of our pharmaceutical business. Money is always going to talk. I wish I didn't believe this but nothing in the politics of this virus mess gives me confidence that there even is a truth anymore.
