    Wait, when the media is proven to be embarrassingly wrong on something that they shouted from the rooftops in unision...cough Russia!....they don't correct the record and instead simply pretend that they never said it in the first place?

    Again, we are playing by the lefts rules in the court of media opinion here. If you do not believe that BO was the most corrupt President in US history, then under those established rules, the burden is on YOU to provide evidence to the contrary.  Those of us who have taken the time to read the primary evidence (i.e. not spoonfed from the media) currently in the public domain will continue to wait until the 12th when you provide evidence to the contrary.

    My wife and I enjoy driving up to Asheville, NC, (about 4 hours) now and then. Some good restaurants, beautiful scenery, and the Biltmore Estate is a great place to stay.

     

    With that said, the above doesn't surprise me. Asheville is as white, liberal, and elitist as they come - and I am sure the guilt over their white priviledge is all consuming about now...

     

     

    Yep. Portland east.

    I don't blame the early problems on government either. It was a new virus that spread fast. It's unrealistic to think we would have instantly been ready to have testing capacity. 

     

    But...that we still have shortages of test and massive delays is a problem.  

     

    The initial roll out failure was certainly the fault of the CDC.  They screwed up the test kits themselves,  wouldn't let public health labs use their own homebrewed tests based on the published sequences etc.   Even if they hadn't screwed up the kits themselves and decided to loosen regulations so labs could run their own tests, there are many variables related to the logistics of testing millions of potential cases that limit testing.  For example my wife is a pediatrician....they are still limited in the number of tests they can order because there isn't enough viral transport media to collect patient samples in.  This is at the front lines just trying to take an NP swab and really has nothing to do with performing the test itself.  Then there are other shortages I've read about further down the chain like RNA extraction reagents and reverse transcriptase to run the PCR.  These reagents are of course supplied by private companies and you're right had nothing to do with the government.

    When the antibody test is at least close to 100% accurate, your statement will be true.

     

    When Trump claims that the coronavirus is the fault of Obama and Biden for stopping the testing process, before the virus existed, how does one not understand that he is either making things up or unbelievably stupid?

    How can someone agree with that Trump statement and not be backing up the lie or unbelievably stupid?

     

    Trump is wrong for blaming the early testing roll-out failures on Obama and you're wrong for blaming it on Trump.  Most sane people blame it on a plethora of variables that can be distilled down to: bloated government bureaucracy.

    You know, 100% vs 9.4% -- it's the same thing really right? Numbers are just numbers... 

     

    There's just no way any even halfway incompetent scientist reports out results like that.  If it only happened at one lab I could maybe understand it being a clerical error, but this stinks to high heaven.

    I now have enough olive oil for a year.  I do not normally (never) buy Goya olive oil. This time I did because it is something we use and ? to the stupid cancel culture.  Hubby buys Goya beans all the time (dry and canned depending on what he is making), I buy a few seasonings and their coconut milk. They are not losing that sale.

     

    ?

     

    Now we need the NEXT CEO that they try to cancel have the balls to say FU to the mob....and the next one...etc.

    If he is an avowed Leftist then his treatment is GOLD Jerry!  But if he ever said that the R's are cool, then his treatment is snake oil at best.  Give the media a few days to fill us in better.

     

    Or just get Trump to weigh in.  Then we can throw everything else out the window and immediately know whether this is good or bad.

    How can they become mandatory? I mean the government can make things difficult for people who do not want to get the vaccine, but how can they make it mandatory? And, we do not have enough flu vaccines for everyone. How long would it take to ramp-up COVID-19 vaccines for 330M people?

    To answer your question: If they come up with an inactive COVID-19 vaccine, I'd get that. Active virus? Pass. 
     

     

    I haven't read anything at all around vaccine development for covid19, but if someone is working on an attenuated live virus vaccine it's likely because they are working on an intranasal formulation.  Like Flumist, those formulations typically show higher mucosal immunity and therefore better protection than traditional IM delivery with inactivated virus.

     

    I'd get the vaccine regardless.  Are there risks associated with getting any vaccine? Yes.  There are risks with putting any foreign substance into your body.  The risks are typically so infinitesimally small compared to the potential benefits that it makes sense to get it if available IMO.
