And if that’s the main reason he is here I have no idea why he’s allowed to continue. Sure there is very little moderating here but maybe we should advocate for change. It does ruin the forum for those trying to have an adult conversations. Most of us here function without foul language so when somebody uses such language the mods should be able to suspend activity for an offender even if it is for a day.

We do not have a smoking gun in terms of this but it is considered highly probable by quite a number of us here. It's not unheard of for organizations that have political themes to pay people to post on sites with high volumes of traffic.

It’s “smoker Sunday” so I will give you lickers a break today as I drink beer and cook. I have convinced my wife that you have to pay close attention to the smoker and that requires refreshments!

If the Nursing home deaths are counted in the total but not tracked individually, that makes a little more sense. Except that last I checked--again maybe this changed in the last couple days, so correct me if I'm wrong--only somewhere around half the states in the country are even providing data regarding Covid-19 related deaths in nursing homes. That combined with our minuscule testing numbers PER CAPITA in relation to other countries and it'd be wishful thinking to not believe the total Covid-19 related deaths in our country are significantly higher than the already frightening 39,000+ number it stands at today, less than 3 months since the first confirmed US case. I'm sure there are millions of bodies out there....
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 1 hour ago, Chef Jim said: Oh I agree that Cuomo, for the most part, had handled the crisis well. I’m just pointing out he was wrong to be “hysterical” about it. He was so wrong in fact NY is now giving away their surplus. I sure hope this doesn’t spike again and NY needs them. ...have to respectfully disagree 'Chef........based on the population density of NYC and the ongoing influx of worldwide travelers, irrespective of Covid-19 for starters, NYS was woefully underprepared for such a calamity......if, IF the report is true about auctioning off ventilators, that IMO speaks volumes about pro-active preparedness, seemingly ignoring any "what if" synopsis, again based on population density.......now looking at Covid-19 cases and deaths, is this a valid observation or am I way off base?....should us in WNY be included in his "grand plan" ?......should there be or should there NOT be regional variations, but NOT sacrificing due diligence?...... 2
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 I love how Trump has been saying we will get back to the old normal, how there will be people sitting in the stands at sporting events, etc. 4 1 2
ALF Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 With hindsight , wearing masks on mass transit should have been mandatory from the start in metro NYC. 3

Tiberius Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 15 hours ago, BillStime said: Why Democrats hate Republicans . . . Of the $170B giveaway to real estate developers in the coronavirus stimulus package (which is larger than the $100B earmarked for hospitals or the $150B set aside for states fighting coronavirus): a) "...the Joint Committee on Taxation found that 82 percent of the benefit of this and another tax giveaway in the coronavirus relief bill will go to the 43,000 taxpayers who earn more than $1 million — and just 3 percent to those who earn less than $100,000", and b) "...Worse, the bonanza for these millionaires and billionaires has little to do with the coronavirus: It lets them offset losses not just from 2020 but from 2018 and 2019, before the pandemic." Trump and Kushner could reap a pandemic windfall No wonder Trump boldly proclaimed he would not follow the law on disclosing where the money is spent
3rdnlng Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 DeBlasio is now claiming that the massive infections and deaths in NYC due to the virus was because the federal government was not in a position to do mass testing. While testing is important I think the spreading of the virus could have been drastically reduced by NOT TELLING PEOPLE TO GO OUT TO EAT AND/OR PARTY WHEN THE CITY WAS ALREADY INFECTED. 7 1 4
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 ...I've probably had too many "senior moments" to understand this modern world........but what is repulsive to me is the surfacing of the "race card".....albeit attacking Asian Americans as if this is THEIR fault.....or better yet, the black NIH official (??) stating, "doctors are willing to let African Americans die from Covid-19".......sadly in my lifetime (age 67), we are sinking to new societal lows....God help us..... 2
MILFHUNTER#518 Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Sugar Nipples is holding his daily presser, said next week NYS DOH will be launching statewide antibody testing next week. Had a slide showing how few infections upstate compared to the NY Metro area. Sounds like he is feeling the heat to reopen upstate...
shoshin Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 4 hours ago, Chef Jim said: When I saw that picture I didn’t even think about the lack of masks. It was the lack of social distancing and staying at home which was in place then. People are allowed to be outside for exercise. 2 minutes ago, MILFHUNTER#518 said: Sugar Nipples is holding his daily presser, said next week NYS DOH will be launching statewide antibody testing next week.

I think the APB for $$$ went out weeks ago. They are claiming to start, they will be able to do 10,000 antibody tests per day, after they get to full capacity 20,000 tests per day just at Northwell Health alone.
