Coronavirus

It's nice to see Dr. Fauci speak without having Trump immediately contradicting him.

Even if Dr. Fauci still sounds like he trying to walk on eggshells.

It's just not as bad as when I Don't Need To Wear A Cover is present and frowning at him.

I wonder how long Dr. Coop would've lasted under Trump? Would've he attempted to serve, or recognized the futility in advance?

 

I see your point, but the majority of shortages were caused by people over-buying. Here we had people buying a shopping trolley full of toilet paper and nothing else. That isn't stopping them going shopping again. It is just stupidity.

 

You know what? If the fuckwits want to die, let them die. Open the churches, open the parks, open the restaurants and theaters. Spread the virus. Kill one another. It will help decrease the surplus population and thin the gene pool.

GO DARWIN GO!

Edit: Damn, forgot the all important nail salons and barber shops!

 

A great thought. If only it would work.

As already mentioned, the virus won't only kill off the deniers and those who say return to business and pay the price.

I've heard religious leaders say they put their trust in God and prayer, not in government orders (which also includes medical science). So how did a very similar plan work out during The Plague?

I'm sure there are people who view Covid-19 as a cleansing, a removal of the old, the sick, the weak (physically and fiscally), the homeless, etc. In brief, the expendables.

 

Understood, maybe I should have put this in the Complaining and Bitching thread.

They're actively spreading it now. The people who want to be safe will stay home or wear masks in public. The people protesting are already accepting collateral damage. Ya can't fix stupid.

 

I understand why people wanted them to release the racial demographics of who is getting sick, but it is also backfiring. The conservative right doesn't care if poor Hispanics at meatpacking plants get sick, or poor black people working at grocery stores get sick and die. If it stays in the big cities it doesn't matter to them either.

I wouldn't be surprised if the political parties weren't looking up every person who passed away to see which political party they registered with (if they voted in the primary) to see if it would be a concern.

 

Yeah, I was talking with some other people about the options the administration has to mess with the election. Either by putting armed supporters outside the polling places since there might only be one or two per county if they do vote in person. Or by having the GOP governor postpone the election from Nov. 3rd, or at least try. What happens if Biden gets 270 electoral votes, but there are 5-6 states that haven't voted yet? Can Biden really claim to be the winner in an incomplete election? And that is just election day. It will be hard to postpone it because of Thanksgiving, and then Christmas. And if neither win enough votes, then the transition team won't be able to really get to work.

And then what happens if Biden does win and 50,000 armed Republicans surround the White House? That sounds like a recipe for disaster. Would Trump even go to the Inauguration? Would the military have to be called in to remove the protestors/rebels? Would they have to fly in troops in helicopters and sneak Biden in via copter too? It sounds like a movie pitch, but nothing is too crazy anymore.

 

And all of the above makes me think Shyster and his puppets, and the GOP, will try to suppress negative Covid-19 news, esp. death numbers.

They'll beat voters with their positive news, and ignore bad news. How that will shake out in the election is anybody's guess...at this time.

Can some, perhaps many, of the voters who supported Shyster during The 2016 Perfect Storm of Discontent be convinced his pro-business stance is killing people? Namely the working class who believed Shyster.

I've always envisioned Shyster making various claims about election fraud, and refusing to vacate the office.

 

I can no longer watch the news. Whether it's local or national, all it shows are under educated nitwits holding Trump rallies. It's depressing to know that so many people are that fucking stupid. So, the wife and I no longer watch.

That's scary.
