People are absolutely correct to not trust the bureaucratic establishment and "experts." The past three years should have made that plain to anyone with a functioning brain. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are a few acknowledged cases, that means that there's a lot more in the area that aren't acknowledged. Preventing the spread is the best case scenario at this point, and wearing masks is a proven method. Exactly, not sure how this isn’t obvious.

Troll Toll Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 3 hours ago, Tiberius said: Historical analogy. At the Battle of Antietam, General Lee possessed the interior lines of defense and was able to allocate resources (troops, cannon) to the points where Gen. McClellan was attacking. Lee had fewer troops, but he was able to survive because he could put the troops where they needed to be and let the areas of the field that were not under attack be relatively undefended. Cuomo and the country need to do the same thing with ventilators A better analogy would be if Lee took the resources to where McClellan was attacking, but directed McClellan’s troops to the defenseless areas, and then told the ill equipped troops that he won’t give them their troops and canons back, but he’ll give them cash instead.

Especially out of NYC. The left in America is not interested in accountability, and never has been.

Doc Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Went to Walmart yesterday to get meds for my MIL and look for TP and isopropyl alcohol (got some 95% grain alcohol the day before just in case). They had plexiglass at the pharmacy and were beginning to install them at the cashier stations. And the first spot in the parking lot rows flanking the handicapped spaces were reserved for law enforcement. As for Trump wearing a mask, everyone who comes in contact with him will get tested. He's not in the same situation as everyone else. This should be obvious to most. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest stunner for me was watching the tapes of the now sainted Dr Fauci playing down any and all concerns just days before we shut it all down! Now the media wants to blame Trump for not listening to the ‘scientists’ when Fauci was CLEARLY telling him not to worry. Fauci has been late to the game every step of the way (again not necessarily his fault....but). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
