    I think he's satirizing the Left's stances on population, environmental issues, and suchlike with that post.

    Basically COVID-19 is a natural answer to AOC asking if it's okay to have kids in the face of climate change? That kinda stuff. That's how I read it, anyway. YMMV.

    No "common flu" accounted for 130,000 deaths and doesn't cause blood clots and trokes

    Save us the "**** em they're old anyway" bullshit...OK?

    Which seems to be why TX has so many places that now have pockets of infections. I got a kick out of the Cuomo brief. Kind of ironic when it was him begging other states not to stop New Yorkers from traveling. But he's always been a hypocrite.

    There may be a politician who is NOT a hypocrite, but there are so few, it hardly matters. For all intents and purposes, if it's a politician, it's a lying scumbag hypocrite who only cares about money and power.

    So... what you're really saying is that when Bill De Blasio, or Nancy Pelosi or so many other democrats told everyone to get out and enjoy Chinese new year.... Oh wait... you told us then that that was ok.

    What is the goal of pointing this out? Do you really believe that folks getting sick could actually be stopped? In TX, we did 6-10 weeks of shelter in place. The virus didn't start here, in came to us, for sure. What would you have folks here do? die in place because it is better than getting WuFlu?

    Tell me when NYC stops having new cases.

    Dan opened a can of Texas whoop ass on Cuomo.

    NY was a disaster, to critique any other state? Left showing their true colors yet again.

    Cuomo killed off all the old people with chronic illness in New York really quickly. Not sure how many susceptible they have left in the most vulnerable groups.

    Or maybe the math isn't being counted correctly in the state. Yesterday, New York had one more person die in the city than died in the entire state. Probably just a lag in reporting, like Texas had a week or two ago.

    Not a word about the rise in cases following mass protest and rioting. I’m sure those played no part at all....of course to say they did would be turned into “blaming” minorities for the increases somehow..

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1232045

    Notice the lack
    Of mask and social distancing in the picture ...


    Ahhh the media...such a valuable asset these days..
    They can not even sync their biased stories with pics that support them..

    That's probably low if a positive test is counted as an infection even if a person does not need a physician's care.

    I think that message is akin to trying to hold himself to the same standard as an internet troll. Value is not derived from hatred garnered.

    The first study conducted to evaluate this issue found no link between the protests and an increase of covid cases. The reason, interestingly enough, is because the protests encouraged even more people to stay home because they did not want to around the crowds as they happened.

    You and I both know that is wrong to accuse Andrew Cuomo of killing people.

    It doesn't say anything about the group of protesters though, it says a lot about those who didn't want to join in the chaos. Also, given the legal rammifications, no one is going to put their hand up and say "I was there!" but, like rugged said the pictures speak for themselves.

    NYT = MSM = Fake News.

    New Cases - expected and irrelevant.
