Lisnpuppy Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 this is no comedy this is real life with the current u.s president on fox news! watch! i have nothing to add :wink:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6XdpDOH1JA and if corona numbers are out of control trump will heal that just by delivering his own numbers :wink:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzmzSVGGP4M and here the real comedy - the only problem (for trump and his fans): not based on fake but on his own real interview!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c0xkgX4itQSweetheart, I don't necessarily disagree that things are arse over elbows (ok, I don't disagree at all.) I have been out of my house one single time since the end of Feb because I have a stunted airway (so I can't breath in the best of times) and if I get covid, my ENT has said it will very probably kill me. But if I don't laugh, I would most likely cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted54170User Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 And if we, meaning me and you, Lis, don't cough or sneeze occasionally our lungs get seriously loaded with gunk. I have bronchial asthma. I was wearing a dual layer, with Hepa and Charcoal filter layer in the, mask when I was in a grocery store. I sneezed, not once, but 3 times. In the mask. The mask was on, but the people didn't care, they moved farther than six feet away, acting like the mask could not protect them. It was like I was one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse; plague. I feel for them, but I couldn't help feeling sorry for myself. The incident just added another veil of separation from the people I knew working there, and now they don't want to be close to me anymore.

Immediately close our borders to EVERYONE as soon as the first case came about in china? It's a virus. A somewhat virulent one at that. People ARE going to die. That's just the way it goes. All the measures any nation is taking will only serve to slow the spread, that's it. In the end, a lot of folks are going to die, that is simply the nature of a pandemic. The measures put in place by various government entities may or may not slow the spread, but, that is only to, hopefully, reduce the strain on our medical system. Same number of folks are going to contract the disease, it's just going to be spread over a slightly longer time frame. It *might* reduce deaths by a very small percentage... maybe, but that is all it will accomplish. I will grant you, he could have handled it better...... not sure where our economy would be at this point though..... It already is pretty much in shambles, and I expect it is only going to get worse, unless/until a viable vaccine is developed. Until then, the various state governments are implementing their own measures. I haven't looked at the data, to see which states have done what, and how that has affected outcomes...... as I know its just going to be bad in any event. So far, covid seems to be meaner than the Spanish Flu post WWI.... but, not all the data is in yet either, so, remains to be seen how it all shakes out, currently, it seems covid is about twice as virulent, but, targets the elderly, where the Spanish flu went after the working age folks. It's gonna be interesting to see just how all this is going to affect society in the long term. Are we going to wave goodbye to handshakes? Hugs? Are masks going to become the 'new' fashion accessory? Will folks continue to wear them, and maintain their social distance, even after the vaccine is pretty widespread? Assuming of course, that we actually manage to create one....... And if we don't? The consequences of that particular eventuality would just suck. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrayy Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 is this a serious question that you ask what trump could have been done better to stop that - say in the last 6 month instead of playing golf and not wearing a mask?if this is serious i would recommend you to test what the breitbart article linked by trump jr today or yesterday recommends to prevent covid. if you are not interested in proven background at least breitbart maybe familiar to you. the problem may be that twitter already deleted the post due to misleading and proven wrong content.

Same reason I don't watch fox news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arneercool Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 There is no coming back from this. Even if you hired a black transsexual midget for the president gig next time, you are still, and always will be, the guys that worships racism and corporate fascism. It fills me with sadness that humans do this to each other out of pure spite and greed. You are truly lost. We are truly lost. We are small damaged creatures.

And yet people still keep voting for Democrats, who are the most racist, imperialist and fascist group to ever exist (in the US at least) and keep watching outlets like CNN and MSNBC who spread lies, misinformation and obfuscations in order to perpetuate that same spite and greed.
