The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
RocCityRoller replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
You really are ignorant. On a special level. Why did Cuomo allow Covid positive people into senior centers? This is not a black or white question. Simple question, buddy. And yes, I refuse to be your victim, even if you hate me, like Uncle Tom. I escaped from your plantation. -

Jim is smart and wants no part of your bigotry. You and Penfield45 have exposed yourself as the leftist bigots you are. It's fine to argue facts. I asked you to provide yours over and over again. You have none, your allies are gone. You have no facts. Cuomo ordered the death of old people in NYC. You have exposed yourself as a racist, and a bigot. AKA a typical lefty -

Answer the question. This all goes away when you answer the question. Why did Cuomo put COVID+ Patients in Senior centers. Fu&K Google. Tell me. I have been threatened by AmeriKKKa, subjected to KKK images, asked what do I think of 'White Power' and then asked for mercy? All for asking a simple question? And then you have the nerve to ask: "Why do images of the KKK posted by complete strangers on a message board bother you..." You are the party of 'acceptance' and 'diversity'. Are you this brainwashed? Really? What if I am black? Why does an old image of the KKK bother you? Are you delusional???? 'Possible images of a 'noose; in NASCAR is a big deal, but why is a lefty posting an image of the KKK a big deal????? DO YOU LIVE IN A CAVE? -

answer the question Google doesn't answer why did Penfied45 and Bllstime go supernova. Why did Cuomo demand senior centers house COVID patients? Why are you ok with people in your own party using imagery of the KKK to scare people? Answer me, answer all of us. This isn't going away for either of you -

CHAZ Seattle Observations
RocCityRoller replied to RocCityRoller's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
So let's see the 'Summer of Love' at CHAZ/CHOP Anti Border = barricades Anti Border Searches = ID searches when entering or leaving Anti Border Guard = create border guard armed by soy boys with semi-automatic weapons Defund Police = paramilitary police soy boys with assault rifles Demilitarize the Police = paramilitary police soy boys with assault rifles Community Policing = 2 black men dead within CHAZ in 10 days, and 4 shot. Shooting randomly into a 'suspect' vehicle killing a 16 yr old black boy. No details on the 'other' two shot by CHAZ police, which probably means black Equal rights for everyone to erase the slave holding past = field of negroes in the park. Did they pick up garbage, or vegetables? Yeah looks like a model society /s -

Let me ask you a few questions: Who did I vote for in 2016?: You don't know. I'll give you a God's honest answer, it wasn't Trump. Anyone who wants to argue anything other than the 'new left' and signal its virtues gets lumped into deplorable status regardless. Does this help the Democrat Party? When did 'Identity Politics' enter the main stream? I certainly recall living in low income mixed communities growing up (80's and 90's). We all played together. We made fun of each other. We asked each other about prejudices and stereotypes. We laughed about it and moved on with life. Look at IG, Twitter etc. Everyone is now a shopping list of identity virtue signaling tags. It's like hanging a swastika in your window to show you agree 'with the party'. Back in the day we were all just trying to get along and ahead. How does racial division and segmenting help? If Diversity truly makes us stronger, then how does identity politics and segmenting help the Democrat Party in 2020? Let me ask you a third, and serious question: Do you think this type of dialogue and image posting by you and Penfield45 in the last 20 or so posts seem ok? Imagine posting an image of the KKK, then doubling down on your racist hatred and posting that 'AmeriKKKA would like a word with me' or 'how I felt about White Power?' How does this look if I am Black, Asian, or Latino? What if I am gay, or Muslim? You don't know. Will you put burning crosses in my yard? Will you lynch me for not agreeing with you? Are you threatening me? How exactly does this help the Democrat party? Let me ask you a last question: When someone asks a simple question, why can't it be answered simply? I get called names instead. If the governor had a reason for putting COVID positive patients in senior communities, I would like to know why. If my mom is in a 'lower tier' community due to our socio-economic status does she count as less? Apparently so to you and Penfield45, since I am 'too stupid or uninformed' to figure it out. Once again if I am a minority, how does it look by you calling me stupid and uninformed instead of giving me an answer? Is that white privilege seeping through? Why were COVID positive patients put into senior communities? Ventilators weren't provided, but body bags were. Answer the question. You can call me dumb, post images of the KKK to scare me back to the plantation, tell me they want to come to 'have a word with me' ask me about my thoughts on 'White Power', but hey vote Democrat! I refuse to play into your race baiting, identity segregating, hate filled politics. I left the ghetto (aka new Democrat plantation) a long time ago. Keep posting, maybe you can attach some lynching pictures 'for fun'. After all it took only two weeks in CHAZ for the Democrats to put black folks 'back into the field.' 4 Shootings in CHAZ in a 10 days, 2 black men dead. 'Security is armed with assault weapons and shoots up a vehicle driven by a 16yr old black boy. All in the name of demilitarizing the police, stopping the racism of police and a fair and equitable society'. Thanks for your 'help'. You and Penfield did a fine job exposing yourselves as the race baiting, TDS, hate filled, bigots that you both are. Keep posting. Apparently this is acceptable on TBD. -

Pay attention folks. Look at the reactions a person gets for challenging an opinion, and calling out a hate filled post of the Democrat created KKK. I asked for facts. I called out a terrible post filled with hate filled imagery, and how it hurts and offends not just blacks, but people across a spectrum of diversity. This is the true soul of the new left. Hate filled, indoctrinated, ignorant, full of themselves. Emboldened by cancel culture, media bias and censorship. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

I was sent a letter from my mom's center saying that under the Governor's orders, COVID positive patients may have to be admitted to 'unused apartments'. They could not give me any reason why, and that they were fighting against it. This was the same letter that explained no one was to enter or leave the community for 6 weeks. I work in IT for a local University/Hospital system experiencing furloughs, so I have been a bit busy recently. I'm as likely to listen to Jimmy Dore as I am Hannity. Just come out and tell everyone: Democrat, Republican or Independent why this was done. Why did Cuomo put COVID+ patients into poorly equipped senior centers filled with people most at risk? It's a simple question. -

I hope that one day this will be a post you are ashamed of. I know a lot of 'limousine liberals' like yourself. They tend to be the most racist people imaginable. This is offensive to so many people here for a multitude of reasons I don't know where to start. You obviously posted this to get an emotional response from people, or a 'quick take' to catch them off guard. As much as I would like to report this. I'll just let it simmer here. I am not a part of the 'Cancel' culture or social media censorship. I want you to be affiliated with this imagery for as long as you are on this board. I want it to stand as a reminder of your ability to participate in an adult, if heated, debate. Left or Right. Conservative, Liberal or even Communist. Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist or even Aethist. Strait or Gay. This is offensive. And it will be forever tied to your ability to debate big boy and big girl topics. Congratulations. You have sunk to a new low. Many of us didn't think it was possible. -

My parent was put at risk. I want to know why. Don't call me names. Tell me why COVID positive patients and Senior Citizens were mixed together by the Governors orders. How was putting positive COVID patients in centers not equipped for medical care of that level considered a good option? If it is so obvious, and simple, stop name calling and tell me why. I think many people here would like to know why. This is your big stage to educate and blue pill a lot of people. Nonsensical ad-hominem attacks don't help you state your facts or your view point.

The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

Since I have a family member in one of these centers, and see no logic to it, I would like you to tell me. I, and many others here, are waiting for you to tell us. Why did Cuomo put the most at risk population at risk? My mom's center has no ventilators, it has no RNs, It had nothing to help any COVID patient requiring real medical help. How did that help any COVID patient or the seniors most at risk, in these locked down communities? I'm really interested to hear your logic at putting the most vulnerable population deliberately in harms way, and casting off COVID positive patients in otherwise 'closed' senior centers that could help neither. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
RocCityRoller replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
To me this shows that the USA is leading in testing. Somewhere earlier in this thread someone showed how the COVID-19 cases were increasing dramatically in a number of states. This is to be expected as more people are tested. Most of these states were severely lagging in testing, and positive results in April and May. Hospitals now have the kits to at least 'quick test' anyone seeking admission/ treatment into a hospital. Heart Attack - gets COVID tested Car Crash - gets COVID tested Jason Pierre-Paul your hand on illegal fireworks - gets COVID tested Cheddar Bob/ Plaxico Burress yourself in the leg - gets COVID tested Some will test positive with no symptoms. Some will test negative. It is wise medicine. Keep those asymptomatic positives away from the negatives. Let the medical staff know who is infected and who is not. Don't intermingle the two, and take precautions. Many hospitals still pair up beds in rooms. Imagine the lawsuits that would happen if all new patients admitted weren't tested? 'XYZ Hospital' admitted my dad into a room with a COVID positive patient and he died'. By that perspective, just because someone is COVID positive and in the hospital now, does not mean the hospitalization was for COVID. If someone who has smoked, has high blood pressure, ate terribly and never exercised goes to the hospital with chest pain but tests positive for COVID was it COVID that put him there? No, probably not. Lefty logic would say yes, it was COVID and only COVID that put him there. Never mind a lifetime of poor choices and self abuse. I'll go on the record now and guesstimate 20%-40% of all Americans are COVID+. What does an increase in positive results mean when the mortality rate is flat or dropping? -

So if Joe gets it, and doesn't die from it then it is like any of the other countless viral infections people get every year. Then again Joe is free to vote for a 'caring' Democrat like Andrew Cuomo who intentionally put COVID positive patients in Senior Living centers in NYS. I'm sure that helped. -

This could all be clarified if we had a federal definition as to what a COVID hospitalization was, and what a COVID death was. See above. I'm not debating any of this nonsense until the above is clarified. Until then I hope people who need medical care (COVID or not) can get it, and people who need to go back to work can. -
The employer is responsible for collecting the employee and employer portion, and paying it to the Fed government, and accounting for it on the 940/941 The current tax rate for social security is 6.2% for the employer and 6.2% for the employee, or 12.4% total Only the social security tax has a wage base limit. The wage base limit is the maximum wage that's subject to the tax for that year. For earnings in 2020, this base is $137,700. Medicare is 1.45% for the employer and 1.45% for the employee, or 2.9% total. Employers are responsible for withholding the 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on an individual's wages paid in excess of $200,000 in a calendar year, without regard to filing status. An employer is required to begin withholding Additional Medicare Tax in the pay period in which it pays wages in excess of $200,000 to an employee and continue to withhold it each pay period until the end of the calendar year. There's no employer match for Additional Medicare Tax.

Buffalo Timmy, I agree the government shouldn't make a law abiding citizen do anything, and common sense should prevail. So allow me to put this in perspective for you: Though I agree, that 'smart and good behavior' you note, and that the 'Karens' all over the USA try to call people out for, isn't backed by the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/personal-protective-equipment-infection-control/face-masks-and-surgical-masks-covid-19-manufacturing-purchasing-importing-and-donating-masks-during Q: Is there a difference between a mask and a respirator? A: Masks and respirators both cover a wearer’s nose and mouth, but they differ in several aspects. Masks are loose fitting and may not provide full protection from breathing in airborne pathogens, such as viruses. Face masks (non-surgical masks) may not provide protection from fluids or may not filter particles, needed to protect against pathogens, such as viruses. They are not for surgical use and are not considered personal protective equipment. Surgical masks are fluid-resistant, disposable, and loose-fitting devices that create a physical barrier between the mouth and nose of the wearer and the immediate environment. They are for use in surgical settings and do not provide full protection from inhalation of airborne pathogens, such as viruses. Respirators are personal protective equipment that tightly fit the face and filter airborne particles to protect health care workers. They provide a higher level of protection against viruses and bacteria when properly fit-tested. This document does not address respirators. This CDC infographic explains the differences between surgical masks and N95 respirators. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Buffalo Timmy, I also think laws and common sense should apply to everyone, despite their color or gender. From Lincoln County, Oregon: Face Covering Directive Order 6/17/2020—Face Covering Directive (signed directive in Supporting Documents—below) General directive: All individuals (I fixed their spelling) in Lincoln County are required to wear face coverings during any indoor public setting or outdoor public location where a person will be in within six feet of another individual, who does not share the same household. Exceptions: Persons with health/medical conditions that preclude or are exacerbated by wearing a face covering. Children under the age of 12. Children over the age of 2 but under the age of 12 are encouraged to wear face coverings but not required to do so. Persons with disabilities that prevents them from using the face covering as described in this Directive. These persons must be reasonably accommodated to allow them access to goods and services. People of color who have heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment due to wearing face coverings in public. So the good people of Lincoln County Oregon, Democrat held btw, feel wearing a mask may be considered racist, so the laws apply to some people, but not others based on their color. I think there is a word or term for that. Help me out, what is the word when laws/directives apply to one race but not another?..... ****************************************************************************************************************************************************** Lastly, who is this Brandon Straka guy you asked? Why would he be singled out? Buffalo Timmy, Brandon Straka is a white gay man who spoke out against the Democrat party a few years ago. He led to a movement called 'Walk Away'. You may have heard of it. His video eloquently led to many people having the strength to speak up. He has over 700k views and have led to thousands of Walk Away videos. It is where former Democrats and leftists have 'walked away' from the Democrat Party in recent years given many, many reasons. Why would he be targeted? I'll let Brandon speak for himself: Listening to it now is stronger than it even was back then. Thanks for bringing it up. Why would Brandon Straka be picked out? Thank you Buffalo Timmy for helping expose the BS guidelines to wear masks in public, the racial differences brought up in a society uncertain as to how to deal with COVID, but puts minority Americans more a risk if masks actually do anything, and for helping me bring up 'Walk Away' again. Solid days work Buffalo TImmy.

Whew! It's getting very heated in here again. I want to take a step back for a minute. An olive branch moment, if we will. I will delete a few recent posts on my own free will. Miami Dade 'walking back' Corona Deaths to political pressure. Yet a month ago Colorado reeled back it's death count on it's own. Colorado is a clear swing state. I noted and provided sources that NYS had thousands of 'Corona Deaths' where the dearly departed were not even tested for COVID, now people are questioning NYS numbers. How were senior centers and assisted living centers and their residents affected? How did that affect COVID treatment to those infected? Did this impact the numbers? What of the human cost? It is clear that COVID and it's handling has become politicized. It is also clear that COVID has been monetized, why wouldn't a hospital, limited in what it could do, report inflated COVID numbers to meet payroll? https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/apr/21/facebook-posts/Fact-check-Hospitals-COVID-19-payments/ I work for a University/Hospital system that is facing a 150-300 million dollar shortfall for the last quarter. We have Oncologists/ Cardiologists/ nurses/IT on rotating furloughs due to empty wards. The irony of the whole thing is that government mandated restrictions on services for COVID has decimated the ability (worse than 1 in 10 actually) of medical and support staff available to treat cancer/ heart disease/ kidney disease/ compound fractures etc due to the restrictions on what procedures can and can't be done. It has nearly bankrupted us and has exposed many people to unnecessary risk. COVID numbers are up, screams the MSM. What COVID numbers? Infections/ positive tests results as things open up? Or is it hospitalizations in limited resource situations? Or is it COVID deaths? What numbers? THE NEWS IS SUPPOSED TO EDUCATE. Not fear monger, or cover things up. When societal issues arise the media is supposed to help frame and define the issue and provide facts so adults can decide things on facts. It's almost impossible to get through the noise to get to facts any more. And we are tearing each other apart for it. WE ARE ALL LOSING One source says COVID numbers among minorities is higher because of racism, then a city tells black folks to stop wearing masks for 'inherent racism' ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Let's start with a simple question. One that our law makers and political leaders need to define, and we as citizens must demand that it is defined. What is a COVID death? What is a COVID infecton? What is a COVID Hospitalization ? What is a COVID death? After that that, if a COVID number is going up, what COVID number? Where is it happening? Put it into perspective. Let's speak the same language, adjust the numbers to tell the truth, and then figure out as rational adults what needs to be done. -

We don't have to look back far in time or distance to find out why EMS and FD won't go into a live situation. I recall this incident clearly. Webster is a lakeside suburban town and village of Rochester, NY Summary 4 FD shot, 2 killed https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2012/12/24/webster-new-york-firefighter-shot/1788917/ Attributed to USA Today: "WEBSTER, N.Y. — A gunman ambushed firefighters at a house fire in the Rochester suburb of Webster, N.Y., early Monday, killing two firemen and injuring two others before killing himself on a Lake Ontario beach. Seven homes were destroyed as firefighters waited for police to secure the scene. The gunman, who shot himself at the scene, was identified as 62-year-old William Spengler. He was charged in 1980 with beating his 92-year-old grandmother to death with a hammer in her home next door. Spengler served 17 years in New York State prison on manslaughter charges, police officials said. He was on probation until 2006 and reportedly had lived quietly with his mother, who died in October, and sister at 191 Lake Road, along a sliver of land between Irondequoit Bay and the lake."
