So let me get this straight. Keeping completely undocumented Central Americans quarantined at our southern border is inhumane, racist and immoral, but keeping documented Europeans quarantined (perhaps in cages?) at our eastern border is the correct course of action? Hmmmm...


Skin color man. Skin color!!

that's okay... you just stay in your mom's Soro's basement bunker, we'll let you know when it's okay to come out.

And I won't be yelling for others to "man up" against the infection.

At this point in time, what exactly are you so afraid of besides Trump getting re-elected? It seems you fear Trump far more than this so called pandemic. A bit strange, don't you think?

He doesn’t fear the pandemic. He worships it. He glorifies it. He prays to it every night that it destroys the economy even further and continues for at least 6 more months.  The pandemic is his great savior!

I am just curious why the destruction of the Republic is so important to him. I wonder if this is some sort of occupation for him.

Seriously?  You don’t know why?  Two words. Trump bad. 
 

The real sad part is it takes the worst pandemic in over 100 years to give the Dems a shot and I still don’t think they do.

True. I just think that the whole "Trump bad" thing is a symptom, and not the disease itself.

I post a challenge to @Tiberius @SectionC3 @Kemp.  Let’s see if you can make 3 consecutive posts in a thread about a very serious virus that has affected the whole world very badly without mentioning Trump.  
 

 

 

You and Reality just contributed 6+ more posts to the nonsense you allegedly hoped to stop. Eye plank. 

 

In COVID news, let's look at porn for leadership for test and trace. 

 

Quote

“In many ways, what they are doing is a model for what we are trying to do with Covid,” said Ashish Jha, a physician who directs Harvard University’s Global Health Institute and has been calling for widespread national testing to contain the coronavirus. “The adult film industry teaches us that as a proof of concept, this can work. We just have to scale it up.”

 

And there's also this [funny that C-men is censored]:

 

Quote

 

The new coronavirus can persist in men's ***** even after they have begun to recover, a finding that raises the possibility the virus could be sexually transmitted, Chinese researchers said Thursday.

 

A team at Shangqiu Municipal Hospital tested 38 male patients treated there at the height of the pandemic in China, in January and February.
 
About 16% of them had evidence of the coronavirus in their *****, the team reported in the journal JAMA Network Open. About a quarter of them were in the acute stage of infection and nearly 9% of them were recovering, the team reported.

Your mind is obviously as confused as Kemp's. I haven't mentioned Biden in any posts in this thread - and rarely mentioned him in any posts in any other thread.

 

Hopefully, your mental confusion is from lack of sleep and not something more structurally permanent. Get some rest and get well soon!

 

Denial is one of the first stages of Biden Derangement Syndrome.  Be careful.

Yeah, let's extrapolate the logistics of testing 5 people on a closed set to a population of 330 million spread out across a continent.  Gotta love academics.   This is why most of them fail when placed in managerial roles.

 

I don't know how many times it needs to be repeated, applying a testing standard to reopen the economy simply means that the economy will not open.  There are no tests nor infrastructure available that can provide instantaneous test results.  Without that, tests will be backwards looking, and that's relatively useless for a true return.  It's great to gather testing statistics and work on a solution, but it means squat to reopening the economy.

 

At this point, the selective reopenings that have started in many states are a far better barometer than pie in the sky wishes by the academics.

It was a funny take, not a serious one. We are reopening. Hopefully we can keep R0 at 1.

Oh yeah.  My jab was directed at the Harvard propeller head.

And yet Cuomo's " benchmarks" for reopening include....widespread testing of a percentage of the population daily. That's keeping Erie County closed past the pause order and into seeming perpetuity. That's their new game ; move the goalposts so far and so frequently that the uprights just never get split. But " we're trying. Be patient"......

PA reopening June 4. Primary Election: June 2 (rescheduled from April 28). Hopefully, Wolfy is able to address this by pushing the elections out until after he reopens the state.

What he announced is that some parts of PA (including the Philly area notably) will remain closed until at least June 4. 

 

He did not say it's reopening June 4, which pisses me off.

Even a partial re-open, I still want him to address the primary elections.
