It doesn’t much have to do with the nation’s leaders. Neither left wing France nor theocratic Iran are fairing well.

I'm just saying that both teams have to own up to the fact that they want the government involved in "solving" the Covid situation so let's keep in mind people are dying out there.
A response to what exactly ? Again, do you not get that this is an uncontrollable virus ?
Is it words that you want ? Calm soothing words to make you feel better ? What do you expect from the government ?

And i do have it in mind. My wife is upstairs right now with it. She tested positive a week ago Tuesday. I'm not looking for answers, nor am i blaming anyone. I just want her to get well at this time. Oh, and we've masked up, sanitized and social distanced from the beginning.

We have some very intelligent people on these boards, and we have some fools.

You are the former.

This virus is not controllable until when, and if we get a vaccine in place.

Until then, there's no point doing lockdowns. Just take precautions and use common sense. And at that point, it becomes survival of the fittest.

Pandemic is over folks! Let people have their fun! Dance and party time! Stop the covid testing!

Liberals are the ones claiming it’s not about getting sick, it’s about spreading it to those who can get sick

Joe Biden brings up covid in all his speeches.

Exactly. And to be fair....i'm one of those uneducated (HS diploma only) , semi rural living, truck driving, 2A supporting, deplorable, Trump supporters. I do try to base my decisions on logic rather than emotion.

I don't necessarily disagree with you. I'm playing devil's advocate here. I'm apolitical after all.

Cases soared and deaths spiked...just noting it. I'll note it again when Biden is in the captain's chair.

Government can't solve your problems but both teams in here believe the opposite. They just differ in their remedies (which always include violating our rights).

Hope your wife gets well soon.

If there's one think we can all agree on it's that when you destroy a police car please wear a mask.
