Should absentee ballots be illegal?
ALF replied to Warren Zevon's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Overall, American death rates from COVID-19 data (aggregated across all states with available data and the District of Columbia) have reached new highs for all race groups: 1 in 1,500 Black Americans has died (or 65.8 deaths per 100,000) 1 in 2,300 Indigenous Americans has died (or 43.2 deaths per 100,000) 1 in 3,100 Pacific Islander Americans has died (or 32.7 deaths per 100,000) 1 in 3,200 Latino Americans has died (or 31.1 deaths per 100,000) 1 in 3,600 White Americans has died (or 28.5 deaths per 100,000) 1 in 3,700 Asian Americans has died (or 27.7 deaths per 100,000) Black Americans continue to experience the highest overall mortality rates and the most widespread occurrence of disproportionate deaths. Since we began reporting these data, the Black mortality rate across the U.S. has never fallen below twice that of all other groups (excepting Indigenous Americans), revealing a durable pattern of disproportionality. The latest overall COVID-19 mortality rate for Black Americans is about 2.3 times as high as the rate for Whites and Asians, about twice as high as the Latino and Pacific Islander rate, and 1.5 times as high as the Indigenous rate. https://www.apmresearchlab.org/covid/deaths-by-race -

Why are people still going to ICU and dying " Ten months in" if "Precautions are standard now for everywhere." High risk people that include blacks , give them a break to vote by mail -

They will find out which site works better for the team . I prefer NEF with the high tech training and rehab facility . Just take over a nearby hotel to house the team for training camp . Buffalo Bills’ training and rehab facilities become “top notch” in latest renovations The 41,000 square-foot facility includes a 26,000 square-foot weight room and cutting-edge recovery equipment. From Cryotherapy to saunas and even a hyperbaric therapy room and far more, the facility is packed with options for players. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2019/4/16/18388418/buffalo-bills-training-and-rehab-facilities-become-top-notch-in-latest-renovations

Everything Joe Biden--Gaffes, Miscues, Touching, Songs
ALF replied to 3rdnlng's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The covid 19 disaster changed everything for this election . What will the U.S. and world economy look like in Nov ? Will voters trust Biden's advisors ? W Bush advisors were a disaster for wars and the economy. I liked W , he was a good leader and nice guy but listened to people like Cheney. -
This town of 170,000 replaced some cops with medics and mental health workers. It's worked for over 30 years (CNN)Around 30 years ago, a town in Oregon retrofitted an old van, staffed it with young medics and mental health counselors and sent them out to respond to the kinds of 911 calls that wouldn't necessarily require police intervention. In the town of 172,000, they were the first responders for mental health crises, homelessness, substance abuse, threats of suicide -- the problems for which there are no easy fixes. The problems that, in the hands of police, have often turned violent. Today, the program, called CAHOOTS, has three vans, more than double the number of staffers and the attention of a country in crisis. CAHOOTS is already doing what police reform advocates say is necessary to fundamentally change the US criminal justice system -- pass off some responsibilities to unarmed civilians. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/05/us/cahoots-replace-police-mental-health-trnd/index.html

Now that high risk people especially nursing homes are better protected the death rate is going down. Younger victims and better treatment now saves lives. Just don't overwhelm the hospitals in hot spots with careless behavior. If covid causes long term lung damage young people should be warned.

Supermarkets snub coconut goods picked by monkeys The monkeys are snatched from the wild and trained to pick up to 1,000 coconuts a day, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) said. In a statement, Waitrose said: "As part of our animal welfare policy, we have committed to never knowingly sell any products sourced from monkey labour." Male monkeys are able to pick up to 1,000 coconuts a day, Peta says. It's thought that a human can pick about 80. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-53276071 That's pretty cool as long as the monkeys are treated well

I just don't like long lines . The polling place I've gone to for over 35 years was closed for the June 23 primary , elderly poll workers called in not to show up due to covid. This is the first year me and family are voting mail in just to avoid long line if it hits the fan in Nov. -
Trump accused Obama of treason and many insults, what better way to get even if he could help defeat Trump.
