The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
transplantbillsfan replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
What a friggin jackass. This is your President, a guy who absolutely REFUSES to back the experts as they come out with new recommendations regarding wearing masks. He doesn't even have to wear the goddamn mask, just don't undermine the expert advice you're literally presenting to the public. And the problem is, he's got a bunch of morons who voted for him who will follow his lead and those morons will die because they followed the lead of the moron currently residing behind the Resolute Desk. At least he only has 8 months sitting behind that desk... scary as those 8 months will be. -

Does anyone want to bet that at SOME point in the lead up to November, Trump will find a way to take responsibility for this: DESPITE doing idiotic things like this Yeah... this is the jackass so many of you over here support -

Here's another "narrative driver..." guessing you're searching for some kind of spin. Hilarious you guys pounced on like the 1st promising poll in Trump's Presidency as uber meaningful. Call BS all you want anonymous Internet Message Board guy. I'm being honest. -

I have no idea what TDS or CCP or any of these other acronyms you consistently use are so I literally can't engage in the social media babble you're clearly drowning in, but this post by you has none of your typical babbling enthusiasm. This must be the equivalent of you throwing in the towel. I accept. Get off Twitter... it's ruining your brain. Read a book for cripes sake. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
transplantbillsfan replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Guess those "narrative drivers" and the world changed quickly. 47 percent of voters feel the administration isn’t doing enough in response to the outbreak, greater than the 40 percent who feel the administration is doing the right amount. Even I thought Trump was doing pretty well for a little bit there and would have given him high marks a few weeks ago. Polls are momentary snapshots and throughout the entirety of American history, Presidents always get bumps in wartime or times of crisis. Jimmy Carter got a massive bump during the conflict with Iran in 1979 only to lose an election months later. History will be the judge of Trump, and as more and more information rolls out regarding his screwup at the beginning of this--like the Administration's shocking off of Senators' pleas to take more action on February 3rd at the beginning of this crisis--history will not judge him well. -
I already know it's a virtual lock I don't go back into the classroom considering my students are all Seniors whose graduation is May 22nd and school's already been postponed for students to return May 7th. Yah... 2 weeks of a 4th quarter and then graduate??? Not so much... Bigger concern is obviously what happens for my graduating Seniors. Likely many states (like ours) will have to waive graduation requirements, despite our efforts as teachers to do this "distance learning." And then, will we be able to return to the classroom in the beginning of August when we always do? And then (yes, trivial in many ways, I know, but still something we're thinking about), will we have Bills football in 2020?

Is everyone's "stay at home" order the same? For example: Living in Hawai'i we have one in place through at least April 30th (I think almost certainly to be extended), but for "essential activities." So, do "essential activities" vary by state? My wife and I went for 2 separate hour long walks over the weekend, one to the local Foodland to pick up a few things. I went surfing this morning because surfing is allowed as long as you maintain "social distancing" and then went to Costco because the line wasn't out the door today. These things are allowed and are not against state mandates. Of course, in Foodland and Costco everyone was staying away from each other--will there be some long term effects societally because of this "social distancing" we're required to do? So... are these the types of things allowed where all the other "shelter in place" orders are? Are they more strict? Less strict? Should the orders here be more strict? Less strict? Genuinely curious because I think this country should probably just have an across-the-board order for every citizen at this point.

Bob Dylan’s new song, “Murder Most Foul.”
transplantbillsfan replied to ChevyVanMiller's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Title is a direct quote from Act I scene 5 of Hamlet when Hamlet meets the Ghost of his dead father. Does the song have any other Hamlet/Shakespeare references? -
Didn't see this posted. Mods can merge or delete if it was He's in California working with Jordan Palmer alongside Sam Darnold and Kyle Allen. Gotta think Palmer is really heavily invested in the success of these 3 QBs this year especially since he's probably not working much with other rookie QBs https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/josh-allen-in-quarantine-with-sam-darnold-kyle-allen/ar-BB11SjEp Josh Allen in quarantine with Sam Darnold, Kyle Allen Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer highlights that Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is engaging in a self-quarantine with New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold and Washington quarterback Kyle Allen. The group is working with quarterback coach Jordan Palmer and former USC quarterback Matt Lopes.

This is the age of an oversaturation of "information." I swear to God... any individual video can be scrutinized and critiqued and flipped on its head and now in the age of Twitter and social media, it's that much easier. Don't you find this type of exercise a complete waste of time? Ya know how easily accessible these types of "blunders" are for your boy Trump? Pure silliness. Britain's own Donald Trump has Covid 19 -

Then you should tell all your friends here in PPP to stop being so damn sensitive about the BS and stupidity pointed out that the guy you voted for has consistently done. -
Pandemics are boring
transplantbillsfan replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Honestly, my wife and I are largely introverts, so staying at home and keeping to ourselves is just natural. Evenings in the yard with booze and a book as my cats wander around. Always try to read a fiction and nonfiction book alternating as I get bored due to my ADD. And while Hawaii has a "shelter in place" order, essential activities like grocery shopping and exercise are allowed as long as Social Distancing (inevitably the "word of the year" for 2020) is maintained. Well, my exercise is surfing and even though they've closed beaches so it's a little more difficult to get to the water, you're still allowed to surf so long as you maintain that 6 feet. Surfed all by myself today. Social Distancing was easy. Trying to help the Kupuna and students who need to eat in the process. Thought I would really watch a lot of Netflix and Amazon Prime during this time, but I've been pretty busy. Part of the fortunate few and I'm extremely grateful for that. How many of you are literally quarantining yourselves to your house? -

Glad he finally actually invoked the Defense Production Act. I hope he acts to compel other companies, too. -

I understand these are tense times so it's easy to see red, which often makes us blind to what's beyond the tip of our nose in front of our face. So for that reason I find the hypocrisy understandable and easily forgivable and forgotten. Stay safe and healthy and keep helping those around you who need it. -

Turn off the PC says the guy who spends exponentially more time in this forum than I do. You can't make this stuff up... But I think I will take your advice and "turn off the PC." Have a nice day and stay safe and healthy! -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
transplantbillsfan replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Don't know what exactly you're talking about here, but it was Trump who politicized this all from the very beginning by trying to compare this to H1N1 criticizing Obama's handling of it saying that was much worse (it wasn't) and claiming that 1,000 American lives were lost at a similar point in the Swine Flu pandemic when no American lives have been lost--1,000 lives lost 6 months after 1st case in USA for H1N1 vs 800+ lives lost 2 months after 1st case in USA. And you guys in this thread spewed the same crap just a month or 2 ago. I really do wish everyone well though, despite your cult-mentality. As for helping, I'm volunteering to help deliver free and reduced lunches to students on the island who live out of district as GEs and need to eat. What are you doing to help?
