IDBillzFan Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 no. the narcissistic anarchist should. stop. and the imperialistic unilateralists should have been. no one is demonizing the veterans. that's what the anarchists are trying to impose on the dems, apparently with some success, unfortunately. Geez, emote much? Obama tried to make a point. He pissed off the wrong people. Such are the simpletons. But hey...at least no one is noticing how big an abortion the ACA rollout has been. Which is good, because you have to work hard to tie that to Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Miner Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 i've been to the cdc site several times since looking for info on infectious disease trends like pertussis and flu. there's a big disclaimer stating data is not up to date. Hmm...I guess I should have been more specific in asking for an situation that a Midol couldn't solve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdog1960 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 The horror. yes, the very real potential is there for serious public health problems resulting in otherwise treatable deaths. the ongoing horror is the cost of the shutdown. billions already and the substantial cost to america's economic image around the world. if we see a 1% increase in borrowing costs we see a huge cost...and we likely will. watch the bond markets tommorrow if nothing changes.

In fairness, the only website the current administration seems able to keep up to date is OFA. No surprised you want to link treatable deaths to the shutdown, and yet seem oblivious to the fact that Americans will be taxed for not buying a product from a federal government unable to keep open the only store that sells the product. Damn you, Rummy! Damn you to hell!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criminy, just the cost alone of the 10 brownshirts on horseback to make sure that what are normally unmanned memorials can't be visited because we don't have the manpower to man them is somehow puzzling. Defend that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdog1960 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Hmm...I guess I should have been more specific in asking for an situation that a Midol couldn't solve. yeah, next time a flu pandemic threatens we'll give you a midol. right after the investment bankers and then the babies and pregnant women get their vaccines.

Tiberius Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Let's just hope he is right. I mean let's hope the insane GOP doesn't shut down the government and destroy our good faith and credit. Wouldn't that amount to treason? Economic damage from a default could be worse than the destruction of the World Trade Centers Veteran political journalist Mark Halperin said Monday that Democrats know they are winning the battle over the government shutdown and all that’s left is negotiating the Republicans’ “surrender." “It’s just a question of the terms of surrender right now,” Halperin said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Part of what’s driving the dynamic is Democrats know they are winning and Harry Reid and the White House have the attitude of, ‘Why should we give anything because they’re coming our way,’ and they’re waiting.” Read more: http://www.politico....l#ixzz2hhsGCT8p Edited October 14, 2013 by gatorman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is how the gov't shutdown is currently affecting your daily life? It's caused you to change your entire life to start prepping for a flu pandemic?

It's caused you to change your entire life to start prepping for a flu pandemic? is it any wonder the tea party is so easily able to herd cats? if you or a family member contracted the flu today, do you think it might be helpful to know if this years vaccine would be likely to decrease the severity of your course? whether and which antivirals are likely to help and decrease your risk of death? how likely the virus is to spread and how it's most likely to be spread? do you really think the cdc is a "make work" organization?

Joe Miner Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 is it any wonder the tea party is so easily able to herd cats? See, I can only assume you were attempting to answer my question about how the shutdown has affected your life personally, since you quote my question in your response. If you were not answering my question, just let me know. But the answer that you gave stated that CDC website was out of date, and with an out of date CDC website, we are at risk for a pandemic. Are you sticking with this answer, or are you sure you wouldn't like to take another crack at the question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That potential exists whether the data is current or otherwise. Given your posting history and tenuous grasp of logic, I'd say you'd still have no idea what to do with even the most precise, up to the minute data, aside from drawing specious and unfounded conclusions.
