But fucking Trump failed to ban travel from Italy when he banned travel from China!!!

And the Democrat mooks complained about this too!

Are these fuckers this totally blind to what the Democrats were saying just a few weeks ago? Or are they just this dishonest?

Trump personally couldn't tie his own shoes.

Can you see how statements like this make one appear idiotic?

Apparently the Trumpies are very sensitive and will allow no literary licence? I admit he can likely tie his own shoes, though with difficulty due to his obesity.

As an apology here is a joke:

what borders on stupidity?

Canada and Mexico

I did not say that. "SoCal" did and agree with "rdm"

With Bush we learned that a lot of voters are comfortable with a President that doesn't seem any smarter than they are.

Huh? He is smarter than everyone on this forum. He became POTUS and has made millions of dollars from that. Not sure I believe the link, but I'd guess it's accurate: https://www.thoughtco.com/former-presidents-speaking-fees-3368127

Trump, Obama, Bush, etc. are exponentially, maybe hockey stick, more intelligent than you or I.

+1000. Not just Presidents, but Governors as well, including Sara Palin. Maybe even AOC, who did after all, defeat a 10 term incumbent and make herself into a household name.

Can this be set to a marching band at half time? Oh, I forgot, no more half times.

Thank you for being a one stop shopping center for all the sources of information that are never to be trusted again. Saves a lot of effort.

Note that Sweden is not on the graph....

We're all dead. Not sure how I'm even typing. Weird.

What do the numbers look like with the assisted living and nursing home fatalities removed?

What do the numbers look like with the assisted living and nursing home fatalities removed?

Like nothing, but no one wants to admit that. Death is bad, but if you wanna take the positive out of this, the average monthly SS check is ~$1,500 and can go up to $3k. 100k dead would be $150M a month save in SS minimum. That's not including medical which is much higher than the SS cost. Every nursing home death is likely saving $3-4k/mo per person dead. And remember, these are people that weren't producing anything.

I know my position is harsh on this and those with sensitive feels will dislike it. But we need to open up, and if we burn off $3-4k/mo in obligations per death, you can't really argue that's a bad thing.

It's a new virus, and folks with shit immune systems in bug incubators are going to get picked off. It might be worse than the flu, in that case, as they lack pre-existing immunity and can't develop an adequate immune response before they die, if at all. There will be occasional fatalities in the healthy population, just as with the flu, although COVID-19 is not affecting young kids as much as the flu.

You can't have MD's directing economic policy, it's insane.

Dude - the protest was a few days ago.

How could it cause a "spike" in deaths a few days later?

More garbage media.

ThreeBays says

Sweden's curve remains exponentially up without sign of peaking.

You are merely describing a rate, and not the outcome.

It is possible that the sick elderly die off quickly, as suggested by Professor Johan Giesecke, and that we wind up with the same number of deaths overall, just takes longer to get there in the lockdown countries. And herd immunity develops more slowly under a lockdown scenario as well.

Seems like what was needed was to leave the economy open, but protect the elderly.

Looks like it pays to be 100...
HeadSet says

Seems like what was needed was to leave the economy open, but protect the elderly.

ThreeBays says

everyone wants the economy to re-open the number is likely to be higher unless governments implement very strict isolation of vulnerable people - for example in the UK those over 70 or with certain high risk conditions have to lock in and get food & medicine delivered.

Why did we not do that from the beginning? Instead we have locked down perfectly healthy people with very little risk of death from this virus. The purpose was to flatten the curve; we smashed it.

Time to get back to work.

Worse case a bit more deaths than bad flu season for the sickly and old. What a clusterfuck the damage that has been done but shutting shit down instead of just taking precautions. Thanks again for fucking the younger generations, and anyone that is productive and needs to work for a living.

Remember folks: Primary voting in the Wisconsin Election will not be delayed, it's too risky to our Society.

But shutting down the economy as long as possible simply must be done.

Also:

Actually I think it depends on how well people with underlying health conditions stay the fuck at home

Yes, but no one wants to take care of granny at home, so they dump her in a bug incubator and demand we all pay the price.

ThreeBays says

Elderly care workers need hazmat suits if the outdoors is teeming with virus.

Or they should be closeted inside retirement homes w/extra pay during the pandemic.

ThreeBays says

The elderly are getting the bug even with the full isolation we have.

How?

"‘[E]xtreme religious ideologues’ who question science and promote female subservience and white supremacy.”
Islam?

Prof. Elizabeth Bartholet is leading the charge against those who actively resist public schools and she believes that the generation currently being homeschooled is an eventual, if not active, breeding ground for racism, sexism, and isolationism.

Resisting woke101 is illegal. You will produce terrible children that don't conform to the metric of the wokeness comittee.

“Many homeschool precisely because they want to isolate their children from ideas and values central to public education and to our democracy. Many promote racial segregation and female subservience. Many question science. Many are determined to keep their children from exposure to views that might enable autonomous choice about their future lives,” she claims.

Everything raycist, sexist, homophobic etc...

“Homeschooling, she says, not only violates children’s right to a ‘meaningful education’ and their right to be protected from potential child abuse, but may keep them from contributing positively to a democratic society,” the article’s author reports.

Because the only "positive" way to contribute is the woke way, as dictated by woke101 in public schools.

“[S]urveys of homeschoolers show that a majority of such families (by some estimates, up to 90 percent) are driven by conservative Christian beliefs, and seek to remove their children from mainstream culture,” Harvard Magazine warns. “Bartholet notes that some of these parents are ‘extreme religious ideologues’ who question science and promote female subservience and white supremacy.”

Freedom of religion should not be in the constitution, as it conflicts with the wokeness metric.

ugh...

Of course, this tool loves to list potential negatives of homeschooling, but doesn't dare list any negatives of public school.

"How dare these people avoid our indoctrination camps!"

If these HonkeyFuck children can't learn with vicious, psychotic, hyperactive minorities beating them up every day and screaming in their ears in classes, while receiving a steady drip drip drip of State sponsored propaganda, then they don't deserve to learn.

yeah, and some of our left-leaning friends should now tell me why anyone should vote for the party which espouses and promotes such ideas and such idea-bearers
edit: and the womxn in question wants to remove choice that we have because DEMOCRACY, which seems to be an oxymoron

ThreeBays says

TEOTWAWKI says

How?

People who care for them or live with them bringing it probably.

Wookie is right. Old people are stupidly stubborn as hell.

ThreeBays says

The elderly

are more likely to be sick in the first place and by actuarial averages more likely to die than young people. It's always been that way.

That was a very boring trailer. What’s it about? A broken mechanical pinwheel?

He did better on Guantanamo one.

I was hoping to see reversal of planet of the apes with monkeys dying off and humans ruling it.

Perfect dream movie for Commie, Hopeless God Hating, Baby Killing libatards and demotards...

This was funniest part:

“ "Parents are an outdated relic of a patriarchal society," said Dr. Pavlovix. "They are endangering our kids and need to be removed from the home immediately."

OccasionalCortex says

homeschooling is a threat to children’s rights

It is a threat to a black child's right to a worthless "education" steeped in victimhood and pathology.

"An unprecedented number of poorly educated kids arrive at college actually identifying with their biological sex," said Dr. Xindri Pavlovix. "It's a concerning trend. These kids aren't learning the basic difference between biological sex and gender expression or identity. I asked one of my male students what his gender identity and preferred pronouns were, and he just stared at me with a dumb look on his face. Unbelievable!"

"Unbelievable" is right--you wonder if it's only a parody, but with a name like "Dr. Xindri Pavlovix" I'm sure it's dead serious. I use "it's" because it's impossible to determine correct gender from such a name.

If home schooling promotes WS, it means parents are all WS, and therefore education department is not addressing their needs properly.
