Texas is now in a World of Hurt


Excellent post and spot on as to the poster you are referring to In numerous posts over the past months when idiots would say "Trump bungled the response" I ask them specifically what they mean. What I get are stupid comments like "Trump said this was going to be over soon" as if Trump's every utterance is cause for panic and upset and made the virus infect Americans. Personally, I think the shutdown was the very worst thing to do but I also realize that if Trump had not shut down the economy, he would have been charged with every single death. Even as it is, as the poster you replied to is regurgitating from the MSM, they STILL claim Trump is responsible. Almost every single one of them is just parroting MSM and the DNC in demonizing Trump in the hopes that their left wiong agenda can fully take hold in January of 2021.

We see what that agenda produces in places like Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis. But, like socialism wannabees, they assert that it will be different.
 

lol, more irony.
 
Thank you, Di. I appreciate it more than you know.

All hyperbole and political gamesmanship aside, this thing is serious, especially for anyone over age of 50.


 

Exactly, all Democratic cities with Democratic Mayors and Governors, that doesn't resonate with the left as they will always blame someone else other than their own party leaders
 
Coronavirus data disappeared after Trump administration shifted control from CDC

Trump is a lying sack of crap.

And he's going to try to lie his way through this pandemic.

LOL, more propaganda, lies, and distortions, I have posted the world data and you ignored it all because of a political agenda. You going to explain to us again how PPP was misused and is an expense? You lie your way through every election cycle, wonder what benefit you get out of the DNC?
 
You going to explain to us again how PPP was misused and is an expense?

Are you going to explain to me how receiving government grants is part of the whole "small-government" crusade?
 

See??
 



What common sense precautions? That are required by the state?

Good point on nursing home related deaths, of which comprise 42% of all COVID deaths. Every gov "forced" what law was used to direct as was done, besides just Cuomo alone. What % of nursing home related deaths were there in NY state? Compared to the nation? I mean, if over 42%, maybe you have a point. Otherwise, your words are worthless. I know what the % is. But you're the one making the claim and thus have the burden of proof. So, you tell us. How much worse is NY state than the rest of the nation? Tell us.

"Fail" is the operative word in your handle.

You’re right, it is nasty business. I got more of the story this weekend. He tested positive just about 15 days before he died. For most of that time it didn’t seem that bad and he was home but when it did go bad it went bad very quickly. Pretty much nobody expected this would be the outcome even after knowing he had it.
 
While it is true that the majority of fatalities are of those 65 or older or with underlying conditions (comorbidity), 25% had no known comorbid conditions, or none at all. Moreover, those over 65 are some of the most productive, economically. I could cite to multiple studies that demonstrate this, but I'm not at my computer.

Those that argue that "well, it's culling the herd" or "children are safe" are both remarkably insensitive (or sociopathic), and ignorant of reality. According to the CDC, 33% of those who have survived hospitalization will have long-term effects. Among the effects on children (beyond carrying the disease to others) is MIS-C (Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children), which, while rare, can be fatal. Moreover, "a new study of nearly 60,000 people in South Korea found that children under 10 years old are the least likely age group to spread the virus—but those aged 10-19 were the most likely." What We Know About COVID-19 and Kids (WebMD).
 

Unfortunately there are no guarantees of making it through the infection even if the odds are in your favor. There have been plenty of cases where people feel better then suddenly take a drastic turn for the worst. One that comes to mind is the actor Nick Cordero who did not meet the profile of someone who would die from the disease. That's what should be in the mind of people when they assess risk. Because it's a novel virus and we don't understand all of the infection impacts, it's a shot in the dark. Doing everything in one's power to avoid contracting the disease seems pretty prudent.
 
It ain't Texas, but the problem is the same.

 
Rewriting history so as to not offend China. It came from Wuhan on 11-17-19. Almost a million people came from there BEFORE any shutdown and this can be proven by how many fly in and out. Only morons think this virus came from Europe.

Well, in that case you can argue with the "morons" (epidemiologists), who provided the information that the NEW YORK (read the ****ing link), outbreak originated from Europe.
 
Please explain to us why England's death per infection rate is almost triple the U.S. and 15 times greater than TX?

Please explain why you keep asking the same ****ing question, time and time again, despite having been provided with answers time and time again? Do you have a short memory span, or what?
 
The Texas COVID-19 Death Surge Is Here, and It’s Terrifying


...and the next 6 days do not look much better.


And, therein lies my bitch. Why are we so woefully unprepared? We've had months to get our **** together.

Oh yeah...Republicans. That's why.

:doh.
 
Well, in that case you can argue with the "morons" (epidemiologists), who provided the information that the NEW YORK (read the ****ing link), outbreak originated from Europe.


Remember, the goal is to blame China for the virus. That's all that matters. Never mind that each nation is supposed to be held accountable for its response, and that most industrialized nations have managed to prevent the crap show the US is in now. That US citizens are barred from entering certain countries is surely China's fault.

 
Well, in that case you can argue with the "morons" (epidemiologists), who provided the information that the NEW YORK (read the ****ing link), outbreak originated from Europe.

You keep on believing that if it helps you stay friends with your Chinese neighbors in Europe.

Keep ignoring that it definitely originated in China and that NONE of the millions of Chinese who flew to America in planes to New York infected even one American.

PS. I read the links before and they were from April and only a smattering of them showed possible European origin. But, you go girl.
 

That it originated in China is one thing, that it spread to other countries places the future contagion factor on those nations. It's why countries who have mismanaged the pandemic are now not allowed in certain countries. So where does the responsibility fall when it's one particular country that's the hot spot?
 

Everyone else never the dear leader, and they will wonder why he loses in a landslide and they lose the Senate.
