  1. All potential good news must be taken with a large measure of caution; all potential bad news must be taken with an equal dose of hysteria.
  2. So this Kung-Flu is an extremely contagious coronavirus with a fatality rate probably somewhere just above that of influenza. Also with a high percentage of completely asymptomatic people, though I have no idea how many are asymptomatic with seasonal flu. He will be in a cave until sometime in 2024.
  3. He liked the cut-back, but was more of a slasher.
  4. So that would tell us who is infected today, but any of us might be infected 4 days from now . I understand the need for the antibody test to see what % of the population has already been infected. It’s going to be much higher than the currently known cases. Perhaps we might be able to isolate some asymptomatic positives, but that will be challenging to say the least. What would you like to see achieved with more testing?
  5. Agreed, they’ve just changed the definition of prepared. Originally it was to not overwhelm the health care system, and to have enough ventilators. That was accomplished ( Cuomo-land aside, they had issues due to his incompetence but the President got things done)so now the goalposts have moved. Prepared now = no Coronavirus cases and no deaths. All deaths are laid at the feet of Trump, not of individual hygiene or overall healthiness/ genetics. It’s liberal logic ! When things don’t go your way, change the expectation after the fact.
  6. Lol....more than anything else, this infiltration of prog/libs on the board shows how much it must suck going through life as a spineless jellyfish. Seeing racism at every turn ...UNHINGED!
  7. I’ll take any one of those over “ Coward who hid inside for his last 5 years on earth”
  8. You’ve focused on a spelling error to ignore the real message. This fight isn’t about “ medical advice”. It’s about the constitution , power hungry Governors and our freedom.
  9. Hate ? What you see here is people protesting for their unalienable right to be free.To pursue happiness with liberty. Do not confuse the desire for freedom with hate. Fortunately for all of us, we are able to live in the greatest country on earth because of this very fight. A fight that began with people willing to die before they would surrender an unfair tax to a tyrannical power hungry government. Sometimes when I hear commentary such as yours , I am astounded at just how little value some Americans assign to that fight. Even though it is the very reason for our Country’s existence. The people will always choose freedom over the alternative.
  10. I don’t see Trump as all that similar to Reagan, but the fact he doesn’t care for the conventional is one of the things I love about him. I love how much the left hates him. It’s actually entertaining.
  11. Don’t know about GG, but I was somewhat skeptical on Trump at first. As things progressed, he won me over. Hillary was a non starter, Bernie was way too far left but Trump was different. He was so unconventional, so not PC and had some really good ideas . Ideas that would make for a better America. It became easy after that, when the left became completely unhinged in the summer of 2016. The choice was clear for me ; it was Trump whether he could actually win the GE or not.
  12. I don’t know about far better, that’s a stretch. Somewhat or slightly better , perhaps but there was no way this wasn’t going to cause economic havoc. The economy was doing very well before this virus was unleashed on the world by China. The sooner we start digging out, the better.
  13. Probably. He’s likely also looking into how to get mail in balloting approved for all in VA come November. This is looking like the Dems trying to steal a GE that they likely cannot win otherwise. Keep everyone locked down and make sure no one feels safe.
  14. I’d expect Beanes m.o. to stay the same, even in this very different draft. No need for this roster to add 7 draft picks, so add 3-4 good picks by moving around the board to get players they like.
  15. Great! Seeing our Bills players hoisting a Lombardi would never have any downside to it for me.
  16. . Saw this the other day, classic CNN. Their message is that nothing is safe enough anymore ;we must remake society as a closed, locked down culture.only some can work and many must rely on government support to survive. Essentially they want to rewrite the constitution due to Coronavirus. Cuomo is already saying NYS should “ use this to imagine a better, more socially just NYS”. Whatever the heck that means. Wow.
  17. As a goal, that is likely an impossible one. OSHA exists for a good reason. A virus can infect in a workplace even if all best practices are followed. There is no way to 100% guarantee against infection. At work, or anywhere. It would be very difficult to prove where someone contracted a virus.
  18. Idiot Cuomo on now telling us NYers that we haven’t been shut down for that long, and shows graphic of how long WWI and WW II went on. He outdoes himself seemingly every day. A couple days ago he told us the economy wasn’t really shut down- it’s just shut down for those who “ have the luxury of staying home “ to work. Amazing that anyone in NYS supports this nut job.
  19. Tibs, we know that medical experts believe in varying degrees that there will be a second wave. There may also be a third wave, etc until someday hopefully we have effective treatments and maybe a vaccine. If you recall, the shutdown was not meant to prevent any and all future cases of Coronavirus. It was to “ flatten the curve” and not overwhelm hospitals. We needed time to prepare the health system . Through massive personal sacrifice of Americans - 22 million out of work after just 30 days of locking down the economy- we’ve achieved that goal. So yes, as soon as the economy is reopened there will be more cases- Coronavirus isn’t going anywhere , it’s going to be with us for a long time. Is your post just part of the overall Lib tactic of moving the goalposts on Covid19 ? You know, as in we must stay locked down as a Country and society until Covid19 no longer exists? That notion is pure fantasy Tibs, Coronavirus is now part of our world.
  20. Reckless, sure. I get that, but I’d probably say something to them personally before anything else.As for testing , I believe the only criterion as of two days ago in Erie County is to have symptoms. That was a change from previous criteria. You now only need to show symptoms, and they have plenty of tests according to the County Exec.
  21. I believe we already have that type of testing. At least we do in Erie County; anyone with symptoms will be tested through their provider or through the County if they don’t have one. They must immediately quarantine once tested. They should quarantine if they even have symptoms. However , there are a lot more asymptomatic individuals that are infected and contagious. Probably many times more than the number of known cases. That’s a much more difficult issue, and I’m not sure there’s any way to do a lot about it.
  22. Oh, I agree on the temperature screening. It’s like the TSA screening implemented after 9/11. Strictly for show. And also agreed on the gym deal along with other things. Nothing is really going to be all that safe from covid 19. Eventually we will all know individually if we are very susceptible to it, kind of like a major food allergy. We will know our status and hopefully there will soon be highly effective treatments for those who would have an extremely negative reaction to it.
  23. No, it’s real. No one knew the extent of this except China. They lied. The reported numbers are real, and President Trump talks about them daily at his press briefings. Do you believe him when he gives the updates, or do you just go with what they tell you on CNN ?
  24. We must assume that everyone we see or meet could be spreading a virus. Because they might be , unknowingly. Don’t fall for government schemes to restrict all of our movement by turning on each other. That’s just a Democrat scheme to take power and devolve the nation into Socialism. Consider the source: DeBlasio. This nitwit wants prison cells to have a kitchenette and individual Air Conditioning - that’s something many honest Americans in his city can’t afford for themselves. He expressed surprise that criminals he released due to Coronavirus concerns got arrested on new charges in short order. The man is a moron.
  25. Are you a doctor or scientist ? Infectious disease expert, Mr Transplant Jengafish? Scientists and Medical experts are just that; they’re not economists. Those are two different things. Just what medical experts say that Coronavirus is going away any time soon ? That an effective vaccine is imminent ? And what “ progressive policies” are you referring to? Mass transit to spread disease? Less people working and more on Government assistance , to go with less freedom ? What did people do in America when there were no vaccines for a lot of diseases ? Fortunately for all of us ( yes, even “ progressives”) our previous generations were not going to live in fear and let the government limit their daily lives. Trump will be re-elected in November, but don’t worry. You’ll still be free to hide under a rock until you feel it’s safe to come out.
