South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama and Oklahoma combined for over 130 deaths yesterday.

 

These are some of the most red states in the Country and have a combined population of about 16 million people, so each state is pretty spread out.

 

Our country has 150,000+ deaths in just 5 months and our President doesn't seem to give a crap about the dead, only his reelection prospects.

 

The state of our country is disgusting.

 

We're the laughing stock of the world thanks to the guy sitting at the Resolute Desk in the White House.

 

You sound like a big Cuomo guy!

88,000 of the dead have occurred in 7 blue states alone.  Yes.  California is 39 million.  But the others are on par with the largest states with R governors.  Florida and Texas pop > NY and CA

 

That leaves 65,000 dead in the other 43 states.  

 

Obvious lesson.  The deeper the blue.  The worse life is.  We won't ask what a disaster their public health systems are right now.  But they basically look like Northern Italy.  

 

The rest of the country that hasn't been dominated by the far left........65,000 dead.....population total of those 43 states is roughly around 250 million.  

 

Liberal Logic:  Don't ever move to NY, IL, PA, CA, MI, NJ, and MA.  Why would anyone do this?

Despite What You’ve Heard, The COVID Crisis Probably Peaked Two Weeks Ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...HUH?...why are there numerous articles about people who register to be tested, wait in line but eventually give up waiting, only to get a letter that they tested "positive"?.....osmosis?....

Way to celebrate a man's death -- when it has nothing to do with the OP. My post was how thousands of Americans were denied the right to hold services for their loved ones. That's an entirely non-political post. But you just couldn't help it -- because your brain is broken and you've succumbed to what you claim to be against. 

 

But way to prove that you're a POS.

Allowing people to sue their "deep pockets" employers when they contract COVID when it's nearly impossible to determine where the virus was contracted would open up the floodgates of litigation.  This will actually save the plaintiffs lots of time and money because they will likely never win seeing you cannot prove where the virus was contracted.  

 

 

The GOP would absolve employers of responsibility for taking any but the most minimal steps to make their workplaces safe.

And leaving it up to the state, local governments and the employers to keep their workplaces safe. 

 

Keeping in line with our wishes for a smaller federal government.

You were just being the morality enforcer about a Herman Cain post and I agree with that. 

 

Now how about you let John Lewis's life be celebrated outside politics on the day that he's laid to rest? 

 

Decency takes some work, including the ability to set aside "let me score some political points off someone's death." 

 

Herman Cain was a good man, a good American. How he got Covid is irrelevant at this point; his is the story of 150K Americans: He got Covid and died. It's sad and he passed too soon. 

 

Lewis was a good man, a good American. How people celebrate his death is not relevant; his is the story of a civil rights icon and man for many to admire even if you disagreed with some of his positions. He's now passed.

Erm. Trump has shown he's OK disregarding Fauci, who's a huge proponent of a national plan since the beginning. 

 

You can debate whether a national plan would have worked but Fauci isn't wearing the crown, Trump is.

The most inept, corrupt administration in our lifetime.

“Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushner’s team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically.”

This is a critical piece of recovery. Employers need some protection from lawsuits. If we're reopening into another 100K deaths, we can't have anyone who gets  Covid suing their employer.

"Except for Sweden, there are very few cases in those countries," KK Cheng, an epidemiologist at the University of Birmingham's Institute of Applied Health Research told AFP.

 

"So I don't blame them for not doing it, as long as they have reasonable social distancing and contact tracing is done properly," Cheng added.

For the 1000x.....

 

Still with the distancing which equals half capacity which equals no events which equals half full schools unless you're in America where we fully destroy kids lives with virtual which also means no sports for kids. 

 

Until when?  When?  This isn't what we signed up for.  "Distancing" should not be mandated by government at this point if they can't explain how this plays out.  

 

Anyone care to answer this?  These countries supposedly "conquered" the virus.  That's not conquering anything.

And other than California, those blue states spiked early when Trump and everyone was looking at China while Europeans were bringing Covid to the East Coast from Europe.

 

And now look what's happening to Red states.

No.

 

Hawai'i is the deepest blue state in the country and has the lowest case AND death rate.

 

The reason for it is obvious, but largely circumstantial, just as it's circumstantial that NYC and the surrounding area have the highest number of total deaths.

 

New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Rhode Island all suffered the circumstance of proximity to the central port to the US from Europe combined with the most densely populated city in the country by far where people drive hours from across state lines to work and then go back at the end of their day across state lines to their families.

 

And it was in the beginning of the Pandemic when we didn't know anything and had poor supplies of PPEs and Ventilators.

 

And even cutting out those blue states, we'd still have the 2nd most deaths in the entire world.

Those States rough population of 240 million at roughly 65K dead, would have the 2nd highest total of deaths.  Stunning.   

 

What about where would they rank in per capita?  Not even top 10?  

 

 

I've had zero patience for this red state vs blue state handling of the virus.  I feel obligated to but then I feel like my IQ drops 30 points.  

 

This is a deliberate distraction from the big questions including the ones I just posted.  

 

Essentially engaging in these political arguments is one of 2 things.  1.  We are this stupid and have to fight over everything and lost sight of the big picture. 

 

Or 2. The Left wants to constantly distract bc they are perfectly fine with indefinite lockdowns or no full open in order to give the Democrat Nominee, Maoism, a fighting chance vs Trump.

We as Americans, left and right, are disgracing ourselves by collectively not demanding a clear road map, goals, objectives, and more importantly justifications for what we are being asked to do.  Maybe we all need to turn off cable news.  Start paying attention to what is really going on around the world.   A sane, intelligent human can only conclude at this trajectory we will be doing this, unsustainably, for years.  And I'm not saying that because we should.  It's based on how we have responded to the first 6 months of this.
