PLAYPEN: Covid-19 Everything Political

[Craig Lamson]

Craig...I don't have any interest about your politics except watching it is better than the soap operas or reality shows. Oh...wait, you leader comes from a reality show...maybe someone should tell him the show has ended and he's now in the real world.

Right...your posts here say otherwise.  Your grasp on reality appears tenuous.

Who says he screwed up?  You? That guy from Japan?  Democrats who want him gone?  Let’s get real here.  The left and those who are likeminded we’re going to say he screwed up regardless of what he did.

Your complaint rings a bit hollow.

Yes...he did everything right...26,000 deaths and still counting. I'd hate to see Trump screw up.

Craig your Trump cheerleading posts shows your lack of being judgemental. That's one of the side effects of drinking that purple koolaid.

[Craig Lamson]

Alan you are playing a losing game. I can start with grabbing women's crotches...move onto hiring hookers...and end with supporting the white supremely movement. Let's throw in being impeached. Oh...and calling countries that are some of the poorest in the world shit holes. We can go on forever.

How many non gay men have not grabbed a woman’s crotch?  Hookers?  Got any proof of that?  Supporting the White supremacy moment?  You really are ignorant and believe all the fake news.  Guess what there are a lot of shithole countries.

Now you wann try again?  Currently you are looking quite clueless.

Chez, your Orange man bad posts show a lack of basic intelligence.  That’s one side effect of being a fake news belivever

My previous post stands. Really you should stop drinking that koolaid.

As an aside, there is no vaccine for stupidity. Best you can do Craig is try hide the symptoms.

Well he did fail to fill up the stockpile Obama left empty.  However I would be surprised if he was ever told.

Yep 26,000 deaths.  It’s a sad affair.  However even the best experts were predicting up to 2.2 million deaths.  Not looking so bad in comparison.

Yea, your previous post was moronic, by all means, let it stand.

Yes...he's a hero.

[Craig Lamson]

Yes...he's a hero.

Perhaps he is.  How many thousands of lives has he saved?

[JoeKitchen]

Come on Joe...surely you are not that naive. I see the sheeple at all the trump rallies...cheering on every word he spews with his make America great again hat looking like a doofus. Joe, you haven't drank that purple koolaid have you?

LOL Chez. 

You see highly edit clips from his rallies that dont show the full story.  It's similar to when the media take Trump's jokes (also at these rallies) and plays them as if he was being serious.  Same thing.

[chez]

Perhaps he is.  How many thousands of lives has he saved?

Zero...name 1.

How many lives has he cost?

[JoeKitchen]

Yes, in one swift move he has inoculated himself from blame for fucking up. Wouldn't it have been easier to not fuck up in the first place? Or is this all he knows how to do?

Okay, just like I asked Chez, who could not give me a straight answer, I'll ask you, what would be your acceptable death count for the USA with COVID-19? 

I gave mine, 60K, which is what the flu kills per season. 

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

Sweden's experiment with a light-touch lockdown seems to have failed....

Nope. You are just judging it by a simpletonistic parameter. There is more to it than death numbers. Saved economy and working toward herd immunity, which will come mightily handy when the next season comes.

[Craig Lamson]

Zero...name 1.

Really?  You know he has not saved a single life?  You might want to lay off the bears.

Ocasio-Cortez: "It's legitimate to talk about" allegations against Biden

You know never say never!  Because I never thought I would agree with AOC on anything. 

If you ignore your convictions when it is inconvenient, then you never had any convictions to begin with.  People openly vilifying AOC over this, and there are plenty of Dems doing so, just shows nearly the entire MeToo movement in politics was nothing but a political farce. 

[chez]

Really?  You know he has not saved a single life?  You might want to lay off the bears.

Well let's hear how he saved lives. I can tell you how lives were lost...a bunch of lives...26,000 and counting up every day.

Yeh...he did a swell job...and like in typical Trump fashion he's looking to blame someone...the WHO today, CDC yesterday, certain ( democratic ) governers. No...Trump is squeaky clean.

Surely Craig you must have seen this movie before...cornered and blaming everyone else...no accountability.

[Alan Klein]

Yes, in one swift move he has inoculated himself from blame for fucking up. Wouldn't it have been easier to not fuck up in the first place? Or is this all he knows how to do?

He made the right decisions at the time for the information available at those times.  Just like we all do.  Just as the president and the various governors are going to make decisions right now about re-opening the economy based on the information they have right now.  Are they making a mistake?  Maybe.  Are they going to pick some wrong choices?  Probably.  Nothing's perfect.  But none of us can predict the future. Making no decision is a decision and often no decision is worse. It's time to move on.  We can't sit in our homes forever.   We need to stick our heads and necks out and get a breath of fresh air.

Michigan Democrat thanks Trump, hydroxychloroquine for helping save her life from coronavirus

"It has a lot to do with the president."

Those are good points.  Hadn't thought of them.  It might not even be next season.  It may just keep coming back in waves until we're all immuned.  So the test with Sweden is still on.  We'll have to look on them again next Fall to see how they're doing.  Of course, if they do get hit, they may repeat what we've done by isolating which would cut short their experiment in herd immunity.
