They don’t go hand in hand any more than integrity is axiomatically “naive”...



You mentioned Ben Carson. He is more corrupt than the average DC rat? No




Anyway think its time to flag this for political crap.

Obama created them so Trump (obsessively) had to kill them...

Yes, facts are facts, but yours are made up propaganda, not facts.
Even the sob story article you linked to doesn't support you.
I am done discussing this with you.

Edited to add, I really hate having to get moderators involved, since I enjoy a little chaos in a conversation(it makes things more interesting), but any further political propaganda I see, I will have to simply report.

These are not leftist talking points. These are facts reported across all of media, well, maybe except for Hannity.

Trump lies during his monotone teleprompter speech and the market tumbles over 2000 points. Maybe he should just keep his mouth shut, and hire back the pandemic office he shut to save money and give his besties a big beautiful tax break. You can't leave politics out of this. Trump visits the CDC with his new campaign slogan on his hat, and talks about the perfect call and perfect response to this pandemic, and lies some more about the not available test kits.
South Korea created a test kit in 3 weeks! Three weeks! They test 10,000 a day to our 10,000 since this started in February. Why?

You want honesty? Don't make me laugh. Better yet, go on the W.H.O and crippled CDC websites and read about this.
45 states plus DC and Puerto Rico declared state of emergency. And I guess the country as a whole too now. Only WV has no confirmed cases. Nine states have confirmed deaths. PA, DE, OH, MI, OR, MD, KY, NM are closing schools, maybe others too. I don't think WA is closing schools across the state yet but it has done so in the entire Seattle Metro area which is about 1/2 of the state's population.

There is little sign of this slowing down and at this rate, it will spread to about half or more of the population within a couple months unless every country does Hubei and Italy style lockdowns (and even then, it's unclear how well those will work long-term).

Thank you for the information. Our state just closed all of the schools here in Illinois starting next Tuesday. All but one confirmed case is in Cook County where we live. We are close to Chicago and I expect it will get pretty bad here. We will drive an hour or more for supplies now. I fully expect we will be isolated here for the next two months or more. I hope we do a better job of containing it than New York has. I had no idea it was in Puerto Rico too. That's unfortunate. They've had enough to deal with these last couple of years.

Discusses the AIRBORNE transmission facet of this virus which is nastier/more threatening that the large-droplet method the CDC has pushed...
CDC is wrong or this virus has mutated to allow this transmission method since it first was investigated
Makes it much more difficult to protect against with airborne transmission
Great examples of how this works
Watch it and learn something that is not just apocrypha

I think high percentage of the US population will end up with it but I do think it is very important that we try to make spread as slow as possible so that the peak of the virus does't hit all at once and overwhelm healthcare workers and cause a shortage of supplies. So I'm supportive of social distancing, cancellation of large events and schools. Our metro schools here in Omaha (including our largest 52,000 students) are closed for at least this week and they will continue to asses the situation each week to determine if additional weeks of remote learning are needed. It is inconvenient for working parents but imagine not having a hospital bed left if someone you love ends up with a critical case. There are also MANY grandparents caring for children. So even if child is just an asymptomatic carrier it is potential fatal to their caretaker.

I rather get started doing something preventative than be the next Italy where it had spread so widely before measures were taken.
