    Yup, and all becuase of "their faith"

     

    When some religious nutjob says this shit, i'm normally like whatever, believe what you want to believe, just don't let it effect me. Well now that they're effecting me, they can fuck the hell off. Is it really that hard to stay inside? Especially since they can do virtual showings of church. But you know, the church can't collect their $$$ that way...

    There you go.

    BTW this came from someplace called right wing watch. That just happens to be where you can find it. There are religious nutjobs on both sides.

    You must have never paid attention to ESPN.  Good move on your part.

    Not really. I watch college football game day, a live cfb game and an occasional 30 for 30. In not interested in jock sniffers pontificating on societal topics.

    Blaming anybody except China is exactly what China wants.  Well done to everyone who is falling for it. 

    Btw, everyone was full of shit about the virus in the states.  Trump, dems, republicans, Cuomo, NYC health minister, the media (both sides), and if you want to extend it beyond the states throw in the WHO.   There are way too many receipts out there to legitimately point any fingers at anyone, other than China. 

    The best lesson we can gain from this is to never rely on or trust the Government or our trash media.  Unfortunately, I see everyone doing the opposite.  

    Totally agree on enough blame to go around. Regardless of attempts to revise history, leaders underestimated this and weren't ready. Our entire populace disregarded it. Watching our leaders point fingers is frustrating because it is a total waste of time. Just do shit, quit complaining and quit trying to play the hero.

    Headed off next Saturday for 10 days in Europe...not even packing hand sanitizer. Hell, I might even lick a few handrails while I'm there lol.

    How was your visit to Europe?  I bet you saw all the sites.

  • Woody Hayes wrote a note to me on a white envelope after attending my grandfather's calling hours.  I was 11 years old and my dad said "hang onto that".

    "By this data only three people over the age of 75 without one or more of those diseases has died in NY.  Three.

    The only people who should be under "shelter in place" orders are those with one or more of these listed conditions; nobody else has any reason to be so-constrained.  Everyone who has such a condition knows they do."

    Assume that anyone over the age of 60 or 70 has an underlying condition of some sort, so your number of 3 is misleading.  Why don't  you and all of the "it's the flu or a cold / plus the flu kills way more" crowd wait until a year is up and then let's see how this pandemic plays out.  You made fun of it when there were a handful of cases.  Now there's a quarter million.  Let's just wait and see before we call foul.

    Agree... However, This Global Pandemic (I use the term Global because Liberal and Democrats squirts when  Global is mentioned"  which China has clearly accelerated it spread by their action and deception. Should China in someway be held economical responsibility to America and the potential economic burden our citizen, industry, private owner and the state, local and the federal government have to endure. Should China continue to receive interest on debt in this time of the pandemic.       

    Until we untangle ourselves from Chinese industry, we do not have the ability to unilaterally punish China financially.  If we were do do what you're saying, China could retaliate by means of selling off our debt in bulk and thereby depress it's worth, they could cut off our supply chains of crucial industries including medicine, etc.

  • This COVID vs the flu question is one I didn't understand well.  I thought this video did a pretty good job explaining the differences.

    Fab, I see you’re reading All the Light We Cannot See now. Fantastic book. 

    Awesome book

    Really? She used to be on a bunch of shows on ESPN and made all things into a race issue. She’s been awful her entire career.

    Maybe I've seen her, but her name didn't ring a bell.  Fortunately people like Robert Kraft probably don't give a crap what she has to say.  Good for him putting his resources to generous use like that.

  • Let's remember that we climbed into bed with the Chinese, not the other way around.  We provided the opening for their economy and now we rely on China for much of our economy.  This isn't the USSR in the cold war days when we didn't have any meaningful economic exchange with them.  We have poured our businesses into China with abandon and now we get to shop at Walmart.  Yes, they depend upon us.  But we equally depend upon them for the time being.  So no one is in a position of leverage right now.  This is the bed we made.  Hopefully this episode will lead us to repatriate some of our industry if possible.  That would be a much  better way to stick it to China.

    Robert Kraft uses Patriots plane to go to China and get 2 million N95 masks. Here’s Jemele Hill’s response: “This is where I remind people that Robert Kraft is friends with Donald Trump and gave to his campaign. It’s incredible the Kraft family is doing this, but hope they understand their money helped empower their ✌🏾friend✌🏾“. 

    I've never heard of Jemele Hill.  Now I know why.

    You would post the same the exact same thing in the opposite form if he would have went on and declared Defcon 1 fear mongering the end of the world back in Feb. also.  So you dont win with people like you.

    I have said on here that neither Trump nor anyone else in our country was prepared for this.  That goes for most all of us.  I don't blame Trump for that and I think he has done well for the most part since acknowledging the reality.  My criticism of QO and other extreme right wingers is that they are trying to revise reality from what we have all experienced.  Radicals claim corona was a conspiracy between democrats, media and the Chinese government; that it is way overblown, etc.  Then Trump got serious about and they say with a straight face that he was way out ahead of it.  No one was way out ahead of it, democrat or republican.  No one was prepared.  No one was predicting this.  Instead of admitting this, the radicals change the truth daily to fit their needs.

  • Hope to take away the lesson that nothing is certain, so living in the future is very pointless.  Yes there is planning that is required.  But imagining what's going to happen and sometimes counting on it is a complete waste of time.

    Coronavirus task force was established January 29th.

     

    Best.

    Whatever.  You know full well that until early March, Trump said the virus was another flu and was totally under control.  He's not alone in this, but don't try to act like establishing a task force is equal to him even acknowledging the problem.  There are task forces for everything.  As we can see, the task force for this didn't result in anything.

     

    You've followed the right wing media personality playbook on this thing to a tee.  

    Blame some Chinese lab

    Compare it to colds and flu

    Blame the media and democrats

    Pivot 180 and embrace Trump's current status of taking it seriously and denying you or he had ever done anything but that.

     

    Think for yourself for a change.  Trying to mimic all of Trump's crazy ass antics and make it look like it's all part of a logical plan isn't working.

  • I tell my daughter to look at the number of positive reported cases in China and multiply it by 100 in order to get a starting point of where they really are.

  • I was in college when Cheers ended. I actually liked the last episode even though the series had jumped the shark a couple of years before.  

    Seinfeld was bad.  Bad ending to a great, great show.
