The Coronavirus is Trumps fault
3rdnlng replied to Teddy KGB's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
You give credit when credit is not due. Since when is Hardheadharry functional in anything? Come to think of it, Baskin is overdue to make a return. Hmmmn. -
Set your goals a little higher, he's been poked in the face until he's probably too numb to feel it.

I hear they're bringing back Candy Crowley to lead up that team. -

I heard that Biden said that people have had their full of winning and we need to return to the Obama era of recoveries. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

My guess would be from a comedians joke in which he/she paraphrased something in their routine. Then it stuck. -
TPS was once a local priest in the Middle Ages.

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

But, but weren't we in the first Summer of Recovery? -
It's all because Trump is handling the coronavirus in a reasonable and sensible manner, not because he givesashit but because he doesn't want it to hurt the economy and thus hurt his reelection. Can't you guys read his mind?

Pant suits hide cankles. I don't believe that picture is of Hillary but actually Weinstein with C U Next Tuesday's head super imposed. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
3rdnlng replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I'm a doctor and an Infectious Diseases Specialist. I've been at this for more than 20 years seeing sick patients on a daily basis. I have worked in inner city hospitals and in the poorest slums of Africa. HIV-AIDS, Hepatitis,TB, SARS, Measles, Shingles, Whooping cough, Diphtheria...there is little I haven't been exposed to in my profession. And with notable exception of SARS, very little has left me feeling vulnerable, overwhelmed or downright scared. I am not scared of Covid-19. I am concerned about the implications of a novel infectious agent that has spread the world over and continues to find new footholds in different soil. I am rightly concerned for the welfare of those who are elderly, in frail health or disenfranchised who stand to suffer mostly, and disproportionately, at the hands of this new scourge. But I am not scared of Covid-19. What I am scared about is the loss of reason and wave of fear that has induced the masses of society into a spellbinding spiral of panic, stockpiling obscene quantities of anything that could fill a bomb shelter adequately in a post-apocalyptic world. I am scared of the N95 masks that are stolen from hospitals and urgent care clinics where they are actually needed for front line healthcare providers and instead are being donned in airports, malls, and coffee lounges, perpetuating even more fear and suspicion of others. I am scared that our hospitals will be overwhelmed with anyone who thinks they " probably don't have it but may as well get checked out no matter what because you just never know..." and those with heart failure, emphysema, pneumonia and strokes will pay the price for overfilled ER waiting rooms with only so many doctors and nurses to assess. I am scared that travel restrictions will become so far reaching that weddings will be canceled, graduations missed and family reunions will not materialize. And well, even that big party called the Olympic Games...that could be kyboshed too. Can you even imagine? I'm scared those same epidemic fears will limit trade, harm partnerships in multiple sectors, business and otherwise and ultimately culminate in a global recession. But mostly, I'm scared about what message we are telling our kids when faced with a threat. Instead of reason, rationality, openmindedness and altruism, we are telling them to panic, be fearful, suspicious, reactionary and self-interested. Covid-19 is nowhere near over. It will be coming to a city, a hospital, a friend, even a family member near you at some point. Expect it. Stop waiting to be surprised further. The fact is the virus itself will not likely do much harm when it arrives. But our own behaviors and "fight for yourself above all else" attitude could prove disastrous. I implore you all. Temper fear with reason, panic with patience and uncertainty with education. We have an opportunity to learn a great deal about health hygiene and limiting the spread of innumerable transmissible diseases in our society. Let's meet this challenge together in the best spirit of compassion for others, patience, and above all, an unfailing effort to seek truth, facts and knowledge as opposed to conjecture, speculation and catastrophizing. Facts not fear. Clean hands. Open hearts. Our children will thank us for it. Abdu Sharawy -

He's copying what others call him. At least he changed it up a little and he's not a complete copycat like the other pea in his pod, Tiberius. I used to think TPS was sorta reasonable for a lefty but he's allowed his TDS to come through as it pertains to the coronavirus. -

She just rounded up is all. You know, like when HAHA Gator thought there were 48 weeks in a year because he rounded down to 4 weeks in a month and multiplied that by 12? -
Seriously? The comments Trump made regarding the hoax were after a press conference in which the efforts to fight the virus were spelled out. Nobody but nobody with an ounce of character would indicate that Trump was calling the virus a hoax. Trump isn't going to let liars muzzle him, nor should he. Anyway, the media and dems would mischaracterize Trump regardless of how he disseminated information.

The Deep State War Heats Up :ph34r:

Impossible. We all know that the Obama administration was squeaky clean without a hint of corruption. What are you going to dig up next, something that Joe Biden did?
