COVID-19 updates

I am not going to lie, if I were a Dem I would be pretty depressed at this point. 

Joe Biden's gaffe-filled coronavirus media blitz drives negative headlines

I now it's Fox News, but just watch the clips. I still dont think it will be Biden; I just cant imagine anyone in leadership positions at the DNC thinking he could actually win after these. 

[armand]

I could care less about what Biden does right now. I care about what Trump does because it affects me.

[JoeKitchen]

Biden is trying to score political points by making parallel news conferences, but is really just making commercials for Trump in the fall. 

I find it disheartening that someone in his shape is being put up to this.  If he had never ran, the party would be in much better shape.  More popular moderates would have ran. 

But anyway, you guys like to rag on the defacto leader of the Republicans.  Biden is the Dems' leader, and the wind can blow both ways.

Joe, You need to lie down for a while with a cool wet hanky on your eyes. Before you do this, answer one question. What would you consider Biden's most critical failure, the one that most disqualifies him from the presidency -- that he was touching his face, or that he was coughing into his fist? That seemed to be the biggest problem the nut cakes at Fox saw. That's some fine reporting right there.

Slobodan, good to see you back. I hope all you guys, no matter how right your wing, make it through this thing as well as Slobodan apparently has.

No, the biggest was the answer that made no sense what so ever about the cure increasing the problem and ... what the hell was he even trying to say?  I could not figure it.  I wont believe it until I see it, but I just cant fathom having Biden at the front of the ticket given the last 6 months. 

But anyway, I am pretty calm to tell you the truth, but some of you guys seem to be going out of your mind.  Armand seems like he is having a nervious breakdown sitting at home watching Trump 24/7.  My God, even if I did that, I would loose it too. 

Get outside man, and enjoy the fresh air, even if it just on your porch.  Pour a drink and light up a cigar.  Remember, quarantine rules are the same as airport rules, it doesn't matter what time it is.  8 AM on a Tuesday and my flight leaves in 2 hours, sure, pour me a beer.

But anyway, good news is coming out of England. 

New Oxford study is showing there is a good chance significantly more people have already caught this thing without showing any or only mild symptoms, meaning the death rate is much lower then what we think it is.  Two professors from Stanford are find similar date. 

Easter could be a great time for a economic resurrection. 

[Alan Klein]

Depends on whether they put self-interest, or the nation's interests, first.

How is it in a nation's interest shutting down an economy and isolating people - and being wrong?    You remind of the people who I go to the race track with who'll tell me how they figured out the winner - after the race was over.  You're just Monday-morning quarterbacking.

[Alan Klein]

Welcome back Bart and Slobo.  Glad to see you both retained your piss and vinegar. 

[Rob C]

60% of American say Trump is doing a great job on this issue.  Thanks for calling them insane.

+1

I'm sure the percentage is actually much higher; build more asylums. Along with more prisons, you are currently demonstrating that you need 'em. At least you have the space to do it. When they are built, one of your private enterprises could offer our Boris a deal, a great deal, the best deal ever to take our own overflow of nutters and keep them out of Britain. Shame it wasn't mooted four years ago, though.

I think Biden was high, had a drink too much.  His face was red.  Definitely tipsy.  Check it out and see if you don't agree with me.  Of course, the biased press will protect hi.  You'll only see this on Fox.

But the best part was the second part of the clip with Madonna in a bathtub, then singing impromptu.

Yes, that was pretty good.  Weird Al had a good take on that, essentially saying it ain't as easy as it looks to sing a parity. 

Going back to Biden, see my comment of quarantine rules being airport rules.   

[PeterAit]

If only this were funny.

[Alan Klein]

That is funny.  Good one Peter.

[armand]

Bummer! I had it saved but didn't think these guys can take another thing for today.

[JoeKitchen]

I'll agree, this one is pretty good.

That clip was indeed not favourable for Biden and his campaign. It was a good opportunity but completely wasted.
Firstly, instead of live streaming, Biden should have practiced it and taped it. They had the full control of the speech and they really butchered it.
Secondly, Biden looked tired and confused. No speech would have been better than the disappointing performance.

You give me too much credit, or you need to think this so the argument is more fulfilling from your end.
I watch zero Trump. Occasionally I look to see what policy changes have been made because that's what I care about. The missteps that he does are all over the net, very well covered, I need no effort to find them.

Right now there is a snowball coming our way (already in NYC and other places), what Trump does now can change little. That ship has sailed.

And I'm far from a nervous breakdown, I make those points with disappointment more than anything else. Disappointment that apparently rational people can fall so easily for whatever they are told. My reply to Slobodan was more proof of concept for a taste of his own medicine.
Luckily I have a decent sized yard that I can walk around the house and do some gardening; I feel empathetic for those in apartments building who cannot get out.

Well, you know how it is when you wake up from a nap. Or had a couple too many?  Not sure which.

In the idea off that mask, what happens after 10 days of quarantine.

His "missteps" are cherry-picked and taken out of context.  When you do that, you can make anyone look like an axe murderer.  IF you would watch his complete original statements, you'd get a different impression.  But since you're not interested in that, but only looking to see him in a bad light, I would suggest you continue watching abstracts presented by people who don;t like him.  We wouldn't want you to get any other ideas about him.
