OK, back now. Sorry if that interrupted anyone.

Trump does not win just yet. Trump must still catch up with the 12,000+ deaths under Obama with H1N1. Of course, Trump has Andrew Cuomo on his side, chipping in with over 4,000 deaths in NY alone, which is about the number of all other states combined.

It doesn't look like many countries stockpiled masks in numbers intended to supply their general population. The only country I've heard of that actually did was Finland. I bet that changes.

Nothing worse than anteater shit on your dick and pangolin scales stuck in your balls.

Really?

This is so blatant and fake that even Adam Shiff would choke on it.

...

You actually searched out a story, from yahoo news no less, which was written for the sole purpose of making Trump voters look silly, and you expect them to take the article seriously?

You realize the only people that actually read these articles are the people looking for confirmation bias, right?

They're covered in Jesus' blood! Either that or they're just imbeciles. I'm sure it's one of the two.

What's funny is that it's this guy:

https://www.yahoo.com/author/david-knowles

is "educating" you about what Trump supporters supposedly believe, because he sure looks like he knows quite a few of them... :D

Here's a possibility, he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about and he pulled an entire story out of his butt. None of you seem capable of having a normal conversation with somebody that identifies with being a Trump supporter. Have you actually ever talked to one to see what their opinions ACTUALLY are?

No but you listen to "left wing" liars who tell your over and over and over again "they are all white supremacist Neo Nazi homophobic bible beating fascists". It's weird that after 3 years you still believe them. Find that Russian Collusion yet? When are you going to realize they aren't credible?

How about: "I can't smell because somebody roughly shoved a swab into my brain doing a Covid-19 test and destroyed my smell papillae and neurons".

Today I learned how to use Google to determine the beginning of allergy season.

... and people voted for Clinton. Who are the crazy and delusional ones now?

So much TDS in this thread mixed with fake news. It’s just fucking stupid.

"Trump supporters say God chose him to be president"

No, no, no. Can't you guys get anything straight through your bloody bias filter? It was Trump who chose Jehovah to be God.

That video is of some dumb made up event, actors acting like morons.

As he should. Let the hair and beard grow a little longer.

That's how you ensure the virus dies out. The low density population areas are least at risk fo spreading the deadly strain of virus.

Eventually the virus quickly evolves or mutuates to another weaker virus strain (i.e., COVID - 2020 or COVID-20) where it is able to survive and replicate as a virus while not killing off its hosts.

The same goes with HIV. The strain has mutated so much that now many who are HIV + do not have to take Rx to treat it. NPR reported about this in 2013.

‘That Is What We Do’: The Power of Passover and Tradition Across Generations
The plague element of the Passover story feels real for the first time — the completely overwhelming feelings of fear, anxiety and despair. As sad as I am to be away from my family, it’s a worthwhile price to pay for having a Passover together next year.

It's satisfying to see all the leftoid fetishes crumbling right in front of our eyes:

- dense cities better than suburbs;
- public transportation better than personal cars;
- travel bans should never be imposed on anyone;
- borders should be absolutely transparent;
- we don't need no stinking manufacturing because we can all learn Java or interior design;
- families are obsolete;
- reusable shopping bags are better than single-use paper ones;
- there should be no copays or deductibles and everybody should feel free to flood the hospitals every time they sneeze or stub their toe (and get a nice hospital infection in return, just like they did in Italy).

Misc says

They realize that quarantining does not eradicate the disease. Vaccines for the flu are about 30% effective (I'm gonna guess the COVID-19 vaccine will be about the same). They also realize that it is absurd to close down the entire economy when there is an outbreak, as sooner or later the disease will reappear in the population.

Seniors are the most immediately at risk. Whereas few under 50, and almost none under 30, have died from the disease. It's those people you want spreading the dead viruses eventually to old folks.

The purpose of the quarantine is to flatten the rate of infection requiring hospitalization, something that few young people need at all but many old people will require.

That's why it makes no sense to close schools and workplaces, but allow seniors to gather and carouse freely. The opposite should be occourring.

Above is the link about how HIV has mutated to a much weaker strain.

It is an example how viruses constantly mutate or evolve to weaker strains in order to propagate or replicate without killing off all their hosts.

Looks like we may get another reprieve from unbridled decadence, just like we did in 2008 to 2012. That is one silver lining from what is happening now.

It provides an environment which does not encourage dumb economic decisions like buying this $7,000 motorcyle for a price of $29,000.

People think more wisely in terms of arbitrage until they largely forget the past crisis happened.

- reusable shopping bags are better than single-use paper ones;

Personally, I love the "single use" plastic ones. I re-use them as my garbage bags. It completely mystifies me that people buy large, heavy duty garbage bags and then either use a new one (1/4 full) every other day or have a 20-pound stinkbomb in their kitchen after a week of use. However many "single use" grocery bags I bring home from shopping is how many bags I'll need to dispose of the trash.

Such pathetic litigation. Where is the re-incarnation of Michael Avenatti when we need him most.

The pandemic will die when all the inferior people are dead! Long Live The Pandemic!

Yep, my sister's mother in law whose a nurse.. got a fever of 103", bad cough a few weeks ago... she never gets sick. Test came back negative and she's feeling better. (Heard false negatives are common for the tests though).

My DNA test came back positive for Coronavirus and told me I was officially dead and had been entered into the statistics.

Yes, a student who was in my class tested positive. He is now fine, had corona on order of a normal cold severity. A doctor friend of ours also was tested positive 2 weeks ago (60+ yrs old, not a severe case), and I hear that another student whom I know is infected with corona. So 3 in my immediate circle.
