I would expect that from a self centered, Trump worshipping, MAGA hat. The economy takes precedent over health and safety. A temporary inconvenience to freedom and liberty is a small price to pay when lives are at stake. But I imagine most MAGA hats have no problem putting a price on human life.Quote:

2 kids are carriers. (We would have known if we'd tested.) Now here's the tricky part, remember, they asymptomatic. I know it's a big word so it means, they show no signs or symptoms of the disease but they can pass it on to others. They play with parents other kids, rub their noses and grab doors... you get the idea.
How quickly will the number multiply? Ok. Good job. It will be fast.
How long does the virus typically take to surface? Right 4-6 days seems to be the median but some are only carriers and some don't show signs for up to 14 days.
So the virus moves in complete silence for 4 days and a few people show symptoms. But by now, you have a few hundred people with it.
One of those people works with your parents..
Dramatic? Yes. But that's how it happens.
That is why we need a couple billion tests. We need to test and retest.
I'm sure your response will be one of an indigent guffaw as you spout, "where are we going to get those tests and how long is it going to take?"
My response? Ask the used, orange, douche bag in charge of the country. Because if he had started this process even 6 weeks ago, we would likely have enough of everything. But he didn't. He was busy worried about TV ratings.
Life , Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness. I agree with all three. As do you.Quote:

I find it comical that you accuse some of us of "loving china" and "being communist sympathizers". The you will willingly throw people into a grave because your life is inconvenienced for a short period of time. You would rather kill your fellow Americans than suck it up, act like a man and deal with it.
There's a word for that.

You are a traitor.

Come legally but laws should also be enforced and not filled with loopholes.....
Posada " Freedom and Liberties " are synonyms, just because you said freedom twice doesn't make you more eloquent. In a Democracy we have two things equally as important. Namely rights and duties. We have a constitution that protects are rights, and equally implied is our duties to one another. I have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as long as my rights don't imperil the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness of others. Those protesters need to balance their rights with their duties to others.
Comparing that to the Klan is ignorant, and you all know if the left had an issue and wanted to protest you and your liberal friends would be saying they have the freedom to protest.Quote:

Do I need to list the crap she authorized? And how she was acting like a dictator with her pie hole on tv with her presser...
I get the social distancing, not arguing that but there are no rules saying you can’t protest the Government during a crisis. It is one thing to blast them for not practicing social distancing but to turn it even more political and having more divide by calling it a Trump rally was ignorant on her part. And cherry picking with the nazi flag crap was even more ignorant. She know, you know that more American Flags were flying than any other flag. Total BS!
And then she creates even more divide with her views that are against what Trump believes. Again, no issue with her beliefs but the way she uses her authority and having that platform to preach her lefty beliefs is not the time to do that crap.
Exponential spread once the ratio gets above 1.5, scary what happens and how quickly.Quote:

Coronavirus Death in California Came Weeks Before First Known U.S. Death
The earliest U.S. deaths publicly attributed to the virus had been on Feb. 26, when two people died in the Seattle area. Santa Clara County said an autopsy showed a Feb. 6 death was also related.

The same experts(science) keep changing the numbers every week.
We were told 300 million cases in Feb for the US. We were told 1-3 million deaths.
Ever since then the numbers keep going lower.
And here is the real kicker...
There are more asymptomatic people out there then reported cases.
Add that up with the reported cases and the death rate is even more lower.
Well???????
Respect? Lmao!Quote:

Certainly when anarchists, anti Fa, black lives matter, the reaction to them often has been critical. That what I have seen and read. Your point is ?Quote:

In fact the most violent in the bunch, are the ultra right wing - white nationalists neo nazi. There are extremes on both sides of the fence. Critical thought required.
Its the same concept. The Klan protests against black people and others through ignorant concepts of "they're destroying our country, they're destroying our white purity, etc". While protesters of this virus are saying "The government is lying about the virus to take our rights, the virus kills the same % of people as the flu, etc" . The message is different but the idiocy behind it is still the same. If you don't see the parallels, that's on you. They are clearly there.Quote:

If one of those morons has the virus in a crowd of 2-300 people and they're all standing on top of each other, they could have easily spread it. And they don't have to have symptoms to be a carrier.
Do you get that?
We need baseball!
I'm all for immigration reform. I'm just saying his enforcement isn't consistent. If you want to make a hard line stance, ban tourists as well. They can just as easily have the virus. Its not like many people are traveling to the states anyway so make it official.Quote:
