PLAYPEN: Covid-19 Everything Political

[Craig Lamson]

Potential don't count. I am a potential millionaire twice a week, every week the lottery is running. I am in despair because it has been suspended until Corinna goes home. Despair could make me a potential suicide.

Well since no one will every know if nor lives were saved or more lives may have been lost it’s pretty much a moot point.

Expect more.

But hey, what is the percentage of the dead to the US population? How many zeros after the decimal point?

"Covid-19 has killed .0000069% of Americans to date.
Outside of New York City, it has killed .0000039% of Americans."

How much did 911 kill? You can add a couple more decimal points. And such a big deal made from it.

"I have total power" nuff said.

Yea nuff said indeed  You are dumber than a box of rocks.  Lay off the bears.

[faberryman]

Btw, the cruise ship passengers came from a boat with actual cases present.  They fit the law.  Funny how that works.

Why not test them? You might not have to hold some or all of them in quarantine for 14 days.

Craig...I can see why you are a Trump sheeple...once you actually need to think on your own...not what Trump wants you to think...actually for yourself...you just hurt yourself. So don't be such an asshole here and maybe just go kick your dog...or drink more purple koolaid.

So you want to test 65,000 at 13 airports and then wait days to find out the results.

That's what they're doing in Asia.

[JoeKitchen]

Those three guys look totally mashed, so the cops couldn't let them drive away from the scene. A night in the cells seems like an appropriate solution. What would you suggest?

So we should arrest drunks on private property if we think they may drive?  LOL

They were engaging in non-violent activity without posing immediate danger to the public but should be arrested, meanwhile someone who assaults a cop is let free. 

[JoeKitchen]

I don't have any problem with them protesting. I think its ironic they are practicing safe distancing by staying in their cars.

I agree.  So long as they stay in their cars they will be 6 feet from someone else. 

Like I said earlier though, plenty of petty tyrants seem to just want an excuse to be tyrannical.

Chez, I can see why you are unable to think for yourself.  You have the worst case of Orange Man Bad virus I have ever seen.  You have been wrong so many times in this thread on needs to question your ability to think rationally. It clearly appears you do not have that capacity.  Your claims have been shown to be wrong daily. Thinking and researching is beyond your ken.

As to buttholes, you must have been looking in your mirror again. 

[Craig Lamson]

That's what they're doing in Asia.

In an airport, with travelers arriving?  Please provide the cite.

Yes, screened.  So you want to test 65,000 at 13 airports and then wait days to find out the results.

What a silly plan.  You do what you can do, and we did.  End of story, except for those who suffer from OMB virus.

Doesn't sound beyond the realm of possibility to me. Test them, tell them to self quarantine, follow up with those that test positive.

[JoeKitchen]

I'm sure the are more, idiots never come in singles.
I get it they feel it's too much, but they should have a discussion with actual arguments about this and not behave like they are back to terrible twos.


Btw, Romania (my native country and your neighbor) had to get the army/police in streets to keep people from going out, and it's still not that successful.


Apparently you are giving up the right to think also. Protest online, have an argument, come up with a plan. Otherwise you are no better than the partiers on the Florida beaches, "if I get corona, I get corona". It's incredibly selfish for people to argue that their right to go fishing is more important than somebody's right to live. It's only been a month.
I feel you don't have perspective here. All these nonbelievers should go in some of the Covid ICUs and see what it means.

Protest online?   

Yeah, that will be effective.

Er, yes, if you're in the middle of a pandemic and there's a stay-at-home order in place.

They were engaging in non-violent activity without posing immediate danger to the public be should be arrested, meanwhile someone who assaults a cop is let free. 

Not staying at home and mixing with another household does pose an immediate threat. They're welcome to get caned in their own home.

The guy who assaulted the cop was charged.

Charged bu not arrested.  This just makes no sense considering three peaceful people were arrested. 

Like I said, you want people to stop taking this seriously, just have more things like this happen.  At the very least, arrest the guy who assaulted the cop too. 

[Alan Klein]

Alan, didn't you predict May 4th? 

Yes.

[Craig Lamson]

Really?  Test currently take days.  So your plan just sends them on their way and tells them self quarenteen.  Geeze, aside from testing it’s exactly what the US did.

And why test everybody at the airport and send them home?  How many wasted tests at a time when tests were still at a premium.  You test them during their self quarenteen if they show symptoms. 

[elliot_n]

Yes, arrivals at Narita airport, Japan.

I was speaking to a London-based Japanese friend this afternoon and she told me that when she flies there next week, she will be tested for Covid on arrival and will then have to stay in an appointed airport hotel for a couple of days until the results come back.

[John Camp]

Gonna be 30,000 dead tomorrow.

... had to get the army/police in streets to keep people from going out...

If people want to go out, they should go out.

If anyone feels at risk, they should not go out.
