If we were using 1960s technology, the epidemic would already be over with about as many people dead.


If we were using 10960;s tech and morality, there may have been 1/2 as many deaths as Cuomo and other governors would not have forced nursing homes to take COVID patients. Just because you can measure something, does not mean you should.

If there are more lock downs, a lot of politicians are going to be voted out as they should be.

Hmmm, this is interesting because I see my county on there, but our numbers have been on a steady decline for the last few weeks now. An observation that I have noticed locally is that since they have started tracking "outbreaks" in the area, well over 50% have been in restaurant bars, which should be a pretty good indicator of what we need to work on, but the media hardly mentions it. Most of the media attention is on schools, churches and gyms.

Remember, it’s an election year. Wreck the economy is the Dems best hope right now and damn the data. Went to the lake this weekend, no one was wearing masks and everyone was having fun. Great time.

The United State of America is at war. Like many other conflicts it has not been formally declared. Nonetheless it is a war.

Do we really think it matters who gets elected? Imho being a pessimist by nature, civil unrest is garanteed if not war. Lose. Lose.

There are a few definitions of war. One is where a government is involved and there are 1,000 or more deaths. Well, Uncle Sam is involved whether he knows it or not. Some factions know they are fighting for power and they are willing to use the police state tactics, 'civil disobedience', insurgency, and everything else.

The people who have died fro,m this war include of 800 African Americans, who have died, since liberal mayors decided they were expendable. Also there are more suicides since lockdown. The lockdown was intended to flatten the curve to prevent emergency services from getting swamped, but now it is has been turned into a political weapon. People have had medical procedures delayed such as cancer screening and treatments.

Do not think that handing liberals power will bring peace, TO maintain power they will have to keep hunting enemies ad infinitum.

Again another so what, deaths are down, positives are up, these numbers have never been put into context never. Hell I bet most of us are running around with the flu virus and dont know it because they are not testing for it. This is a political scam. vast majority are not even affected.
