You are gloating over a conversation that was had a week ago and with which a few posters agreed with the hopefulness and possibility of it.
When it all started, I posted about minimal, srpeadted exposure might play a key in developing immunity.
This article is old news. You tout it like a victory flag.
It would be awesome if it happens. WTF is your point?
I agree. I heard a very good friend talk about having kids stay home for school next fall, unless they didn't have access or needed to be there. I called her on it. I said, so you have the computer and your kid doesn't need any sp[ecial help so they stay home, while a kid with less money or learning issues has to go to school?Quote:

There are still police. There are likely more police because they can hire more guys to do patrols. They can hire people from neighborhoods to work in those areas. They know people and will be able to better access and deescalate situations.

In the interest of clarity and fairness I am posting PSD general guidelines for reputable sources:
RELIABLE SOURCE INFO
With the Presidential election heating up, there are more and more rumors, memes, information lacking context, half-truths and downright misinformation being spread all over different avenues of social media (Facebook in particular) for each side of the political landscape. Even when the race to the White House ends, the speculating/manipulative garbage online will not.
In an attempt to increase the accuracy of the content in this forum a reminder is being issued.
When making a thread be sure to post the source(link) from the information you are showing. Use fact-checking websites to make sure what you are posting is accurate. Reputable sources are a requirement. Do NOT use biased sites toward your political ideology as a source. Your post will be edited/deleted. This extends to comments as well.
From Rush:.....We are going to use the following image as a guideline of what should or shouldn't be used when sourcing material. Sources to the left of The Huffington Post and to the right of Fox News are considered non-reputable and too biased. Newspapers are considered reputable. Posting sources outside of what has been said above will be at the posters own risk. At that time we will consider whether it is reputable or not. We know this is not perfect, but hope it will give you guys a better understanding of what we are looking for.
Some reliable resources to check sources:

https://www.adfontesmedia.com

Hopefully this is helpful. All opinions are welcome. I/we do not intend to squelch any perspective, I only ask that it is well sourced and in the interest of worthwhile discourse and discussion, I would hope guided by intellectual honesty and integrity. Carry on.
They didn't run New York into the ground although DeBlasio showed more ineptitude than most. Cuomo made mistakes but let's not pretend like they had this all information at their disposal. That didn't come until much later when the virus had already spread to a point where there was going to be a significant amount of people infected.Quote:

Who knows how many people have had the coronavirus btw? Math is easy though. I shouldn't have to do the leg work there. Even if you want to assume 10% of the US population has had the virus (and that's a big assumption) that still means 300 million people haven't been infected and there's no chance that the percentage is that high.
Florida is catching **** because they are seeing 4 times the amount of cases now they did in April. Not to mention, they opened too soon and had no proper precautions or restrictions in place when fully reopening.
When states are seeing 3 or 4 times the amount of cases they were in March or April, I think you can consider that a spike. Either way diluting the information pool with "the coronavirus is getting weaker" sets the wrong standard if indeed its not the case.
No one can answer how many people have or have had the virus but your posts confuse me. You say 1% of the total population has had it then you ask me how many have the virus? You answered your own question. Its impossible to take into account non confirmed cases because they're non confirmed. Many people who had mild to no symptoms were never tested.
Biden has said and done some bad stuff. He absolutely has.Quote:

Both will screw you. One will at least have an element of sensitivity and gentleness and won't try to piss on your floor when he leaves.

With all this going on, you would think NYC cops would know better. I guess not.
You're out of your mind if you don't think Cuomo(in the early stages) or Mayor D didn't do a terrible job and haven't run this state into the ground.Quote:

If it was a republican governor, I could hear the outrage now.
Constant deficit, taxes being raised on the regular, people moving out of NYS at a high rate because they just simply can't afford to live here.
I have a slight feeling you don't own a home and don't pay property taxes, just a guess.
But don't worry, criminals get Mets tickets if they promise to show up to court.
** and have no fear, city keeps letting devolpers build even though they don't have the tenants for the buildings. Now it's going to be even worse as more and more companies realize they don't need so much office space because it's cheaper to have people work from home.
But yeah sure, this state is in good shape. Lmaoooo
New York city has one of the most segregated school systems in the nation. But democrats really care about minorities.
Nycha is one of the most corrupt entities in the country. Again, democrats really care about minorities.
Laughable.

I think DeBlasio has done a **** job. The guy didn't know the virus spread a-symptomatically until a month or so ago. As for Cuomo, I don't hate the guy like you do (you've made that pretty clear). He's has blood on his hands but I think he's done a good job publicly addressing the virus, being on the front lines, answering the tough questions, taking significant measures to slow the spread. We've come a long way since the 1000+ deaths a day we were having in April.
They weren't shutting down a whole state for a handful of cases in Westchester. We all praise California for how quick they were to react and they didn't put stay at home orders until March 20th.
It has nothing to do with political affiliation either. I don't put the onus on governors in the beginning of this pandemic. Could have done things differently? Sure but so could have China, Trump, etc before we got to this point. These governors didn't have the level of information, financial means, authoritative power, etc to handle this at the extent it needed to be.
I edited my post and added more.
Hopefully you'll release one day that Democratic politicians care about minorities about as much as Republicans care about a fetus after its born.

What about when cuomo threw infected patients into assisted living facilities causing the virus to spread much quicker ? And when those facilities asked the state government for masks and gloves to protect their workers , cuomo refused stating that the state wasn’t responsible for privately run facilities . That alone is way worse and more reckless than anything desantis did. And of course Florida is seeing more cases now than in March and April because back then hardly anyone had the virus in the state . And no one was protesting back then either . Politics is why desantis is getting hammered for this and that is a fact .Quote:
