It's common sense, is it not?

Agreed. You worded it oddly initially though; looked ultra partisan.Quote:

That's not what you said in the post I quoted. You have a strange history of this. And still waiting for the links.Quote:

Yeah...saw your post the first time. I chose to ignore it because you're just trying to engage me in nonsensical battering.Quote:

Or my oldest brother that died from bleeding ulcers caused by alcoholism.
I hope your grandfather pulls through. The loss of a family member is a horrible experience. I lost my only grandmother 3 months ago to dementia and lost my only grandfather due to multiple strokes and a heart attack 2 years ago. Did I mentiom that my favorite uncle died of leukemia 2.5 months ago? 2 weeks after my grandmother died.
I understand that deaths of family members are a very traumatic experience. I've experienced it more times than anyone I know, and I truly feel horrible for you.
To answer your question, I have no idea. I'm not a professional in the field of pandemic responses. Just being me while you all are being you.
Again, sorry for your losses but I had absolutely nothing to do with them.
What a lame and off topic response.
This isn't a game of "who's had the worst family tragedies". Dude was talking about COVID-19 related deaths (you know, since this is a thread about COVID-19), a topic that you seem to prefer to selfishly brush off as a "no big deal, I'm not gonna let this stop me from doing whatever I want" kind of thing. That's great that no one you know has been affected by this but your situation doesn't define everyone else's.
Typical broncs trying to make it about himself. If the world doesn't revolve around these jokers, nobody else matters. So much second hand embarassment. Just a disgrace.
Did you read what I wrote? What you replied to? Texas HAD to start re-opening by law. The state constitution set the limit at 30 days.Quote:

What date is the last date that is "early", where the next day is no longer "early"? How was this magic date determined? What date was that date known?Quote:

Now that I think of it, california been moving forward stages in 2 weeks increments, probably should have been doing at 3 to 4 week increments. Might need to lay low a bit.Quote:

*I think earlier it took like 17+ days for stay at home orders to start showing in stats, so 14 day increments to move up phases is too short.

I understand that. Just seems anti-science to not follow the experts step by step the entire way. Which us what states like California, Illinois, New York have done pretty damn well, albeit still succumbing to economic pressures.Quote:

It isn't about fear at all; it's about following the models from experts.

It really does suck and I'm sorry to hear about that many losses for you in such a short few years. Nobody here (at least that I know of) would downplay cancer though as a political driver for one side. Same with diabetes. If they did, well **** them. Didn't know me responding to your downplaying of this by sharing what was going on in my life was nonsensical battering though.Quote:

I'm not trying to equate cancer to Covid by any means here, but the spread of Covid is able to be prevented and is obviously has killed 113k people in just under 3 months (600k/year for Cancer).
