I hope you're not labelling me a Trumper. I dislike him more than anyone else, and have since he was a spoiled Richie-Rich casino/hotel mogul.

I didn't point to the #1 cause of death among children. I showed that travelling to school is way more unsafe than being at school and exposed to Covid (for kids). Actually, the number of kids that die from heat stroke locked in a vehicle falls right within the numbers of Covid deaths (52 last year). So the cars don't even have to be in motion for the numbers to fall within the same parameters.

My original post was more against people like Pelosi and the "Won't someone please think of the children!" crowd. There should be no hand-wringing at this point over whether or not to open schools in the fall. Barring a catastrophe where the virus mutates and becomes way more aggressive, opening schools in the fall should be a no-brainer, not another political dividing issue between Blustery Orange Man and Democrats trying to score points. BTW I feel Trump's threats to cut funding are not only wrong but fatuous, but... I mean were people expecting anything different?

Everyone wear masks in school. Eliminate Phys-Ed this year. Spread desks out if possible. Eat lunches at your homeroom seat and not in a cafeteria. There are a myriad of ways to upgrade safety for everyone. The advantages of attending a physical school far outweigh virtual learning, especially for single-parent households.

You have a chance to be better than the others on here. Instead of name-calling and bringing up strange analogies, show me why I'm incorrect. Saying I'm stupid isn't helping any kind of discourse. I'm very new at exploring political issues; my goal is to learn as much as possible.

Kids who spend too much time in a hot car without dying don't go on to have lifelong disabilities. Kids who spend too much time in a hot car without dying don't go on to subsequently kill their parents. This post is just a steaming pile of ignorance. The kids who will die will only be a fraction of the damage done.

.2 percent means 600,000 will die.

Should have stuck with that, but the administraion kept saying only 100,000 will died.

It has always been, .02 percent.

ok

I answered your question. Any danger you might answer mine?

you don't come back from that

I'm just absolutely crushed by this. It's going to get worse, for months.

It didn't have to be this way.

Oh gee whiz, I feel so much better now. Now I can tell my 25 year old friend with no pre existing conditions that she doesn't need to worry about testing positive. She didn't even need to get tested in the first place!

Once I'm able to visit her grave I'll make sure to yell that to her really loud so she can hear me from 6 feet under.

LOL. Add me to the list of people who couldn't give one single **** about the deaths of covid deniers

I also will not shed a single tear for those who put others in harms way by being unrelenting denying pieces of **** dying and will just go with ‘gee, that’s too bad’

I will feel terrible for those they infected on the way out the door though

So new cases in Georgia were hovering at 1k daily the day smudge puts up the OP

Now 4k daily

Ya but you are trying to split hairs in very disingenuous ways.

Think of it as sparks and tinder.

There is tinder or material that would burn in every area in every State but if you prevent the sparks the tinder will not burn

The tinder is the nursing homes, the factories (like food processing plants, etc), the grocery stores, and the other front line workers.

If you can prevent the sparks from making contact things are ok and areas that are not TrumpsterVille do that magnitudes better than TrumpsterVille does.

OK so in and around TrumpsterVille there are all sorts of sparks walking around without masks, many younger and asymptomatic. So much so that it becomes increasingly impossible for those who work in the tinder area to not have some forms of contact them.

Numerous sparks now have spread into the tinder areas and forest fires follow that disproportionately impact POC who tend to be Dems.

You cannot look at the 'effect' and disconnect the major factor of 'causation'. It is clear now that societies that refuse to wear masks will continue to have these forest fires spark up and grow beyond their ability to control.

15K reported in Florida, on a ****ing Sunday.

That number is MINDBOGGLING and Disney thought "Yep, perfect time to open."

We as a country, are too stupid for this world.

Apparently that is New Jersey's fault due to geography. Only reason why Florida has 30x the cases (per capita) compared to the province of Ontario in Canada. Once they staff up it will all be fine.

I think at some level spelling is a motor skill, and once one's brain has been hardwired to spell a word incorrectly, or use the wrong word, it is hard to change course. I don't think misspelling the same 5 words over and over, even after being corrected, is indicative of dyslexia, but maybe it is? I don't know that much about dyslexia.

You're probably right, it's more just a general indicator of intelligence.

We aren't too stupid. We are too divided and our information sources are poor quality and contradictory.

This system is actually very intentionally set up this way, and it is how the elites control us and keep us in line for the most part. However, this also introduces fragility into the system, and our inability to respond to this crisis is a manifestation of this.

I still think this crisis would be handled better (at least in the US) if control was more local, due to our division and lack of cohesion at the national level.

lol, shocking that Kel found a way to come around to blame reopening too early on *checks notes* The Lamestream Media

We have the greatest informational infrastructure in the history of the world. The correct information is out there for anybody with the effort to seek it out (and even the effort isn't too difficult.) So we are either too ****ing stupid, or too ****ing lazy. You pick.

You think ****ing Disney doesn't have the correct information on what is really happening? You think they don't know the numbers because of poor quality and contradictory information? Or do they know exactly what is happening and said "**** it, we need to line our pockets and feed the machine."

BUT at least we found out he hates Donald Trump! Toss him in the bin with all the other DTHers who accidentally defend everything Trump does and stands for.

Also TWITTER implementation in this forum has apparently caught COVID-19.

I guess there just aren't any elites exerting their control in South Korea, or Canada, or New Zealand, or Germany, or basically any other country that has tried to control the virus.

No it did not. Not even a little bit. It was pretty clear early on what steps needed to be taken. As a country we have people using all their might to push back and fight against doing the right thing.

Imagine 100s of thousands of Americans dead all because a bunch of stooges had to politicize a ****ing deadly pandemic.

Only in America and Brazil did this nonsense happen. It is why the US and Brazil are the uncontested Gold and Silver Medalists of Covid-19.

What’s even worse there is so much more that can and needs to be done but all of it is being blocked because of the one-sided politicization of the virus.

Hundreds of thousands dying for no reason and nobody will be reprimanded, let alone punished for their active participation.

To top it off he are trying to accelerate the death rate with nonsensical political agenda like “all kids need to go back to school now because of reasons”.

I think we’ve definitely learned through this that we as a country are to arrogant and petulant to be trusted with basic freedoms

Imagine 4 years ago finding out Europe was going to ban US from coming in. What an absurd notion

The fact that we can’t even agree the only reason we’re in this mess is because people are too stupid or selfish to be told to think about others before you go out is pretty telling. Our case numbers are hyperbolic and our president can’t tell the truth if his ****ing life depended on it and his supporters still insist listening to medical experts means giving up our freedoms our confederate heroes fought and died for

WAAF

honestly, proly woulda been worse with the Dems in charge. The Repubs would actively be trying to kill people and drive the numbers up if Hillary was president. Can you imagine the amount of conspiracy theory getting promoted?

Not to put too fine a point on it, but 60 million people in your country thought it would be a good idea to have Donald Trump as president.
