my wife insists i am either immune to it or had a mild case some time ago.
How you get away with as much blatant in your face politics is beyond...wait...never mind. This overblown crisis is exactly what you liberals needed to try to blow this wide open. So much pent up derangement Being allowed here and I’ m getting dumber by the minute reading it
Overblown crisis?Not sure there’s room left for you to get any dumber.
The Covid-19 board quickly became a joke and opportunity for the leftists here to have a free for all to bash Trump at every turn. And the mods do nothing. This after banning a political board and the Superbar still having a banner about taking your politics elsewhere. And I wholeheartedly agree that was the right decision to ban politics here. There are a zillion other places online to discuss politics and rant on endlessly.
Trump makes claim that he has dictatorial powers today. Every American should be forced to watch the crazy man at today’s briefing.
Completely different issue. I was referring to issues with polio vaccination, the numbers were much greater than 70,000+ and I admit that I “internetted” and got the good info from an RFK Jr. tweet. The bad info was also “internetted.” GAC. Apparently Gates was summarily dismissed from an Advocacy Board in India after a huge vaccine-strain polio outbreak.Thanks for the Snopes face-plant.

In addition to not being sued, he is also not kicked out of the countryhttps://www.snopes.com/fact-check/gates-org-kicked-out-of-india/Maybe you have different information, but as far as I can find, the only issues with polio vaccine in India relate to a local Indian company that produced an oral version of the vaccine, where the MD was arrested for poor quality control.https://qz.com/india/1413018/polio-scare-resurfaces-in-india-who-calms-nerves/"A private pharmaceutical company reportedly reintroduced the virus in at least 150,000 vials of its oral vaccine, which were then administered to children in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Telangana.The oral method, however, contains live, but less virulent, strains of the virus and can result in vaccine-induced polio. However, it is extremely rare—about one in 750,000 cases. After the type-2 strain was found in Uttar Pradesh, the virus was traced to the Ghaziabad-based pharmaceutical firm Bio-Med. Its managing director was arrested and further production was halted. "
If you need to know what the latest Fox OAN talking point is, he's your man. Pure uncritical regurgitation.
Then stop ranting about politics and explain why the CDC hasn't been leading the testing process and developing contact tracing mechanisms from the start. Include mention of the fact that CDC was created especially for pandemic management and filled this role in the H1N1 outbreak, but has now been moved to the backseat by a president who seems intent on letting states try to make up for his slow start.Give us some substance if you think there is too much political fighting.
I mean...last i saw there has been less than 1,000 deaths in the US. Percentage wise, that is incredibly low..like minuscule. yet people are acting like the entire population is dying off from this. It's all about agenda's, that's all it really is.
Ah.So you're one of those who won't think this is a big deal until millions are dead.But at the same time the steps being taken are to prevent exactly those types of numbers. So that when millions don't die, you'll think it was all an overreaction
I am absolutely convinced that this is what will happen. "See? What was the big deal? I told you it was all a hoax", completely ignoring that the social distancing and stay-at-home orders are what kept the numbers lower. Wait for it.
I don't necessary disagree with some of their points, but let's look at the background of these doctors shall we?Dr. Jonathan B. Geach is an anesthesiologist in Loma Linda, CaliforniaDr. Ankur J. Patel is a family medicine doctor in Oswego, IllinoisDr. Jason Friday looks like he is a psychiatrist in Gilbert, AZDr. Lacy M. Windham is an obstetrician-gynecologist in Cleveland, TennesseeDr. Ashkan Attaran is a cardiologist in Visalia, California Jennifer Andjelich, D.N.P. isn't a doctor. She is a nurse practitioner in psychiatry in ArizonaSo no public health background that I can tell. No epidemiologists. Just random doctors of various backgrounds they got to sign onto an article.Or am I missing something?
PakuniYou are right, I would be pretending to be a liberal Democrat because I am a moderate Democrat and not particularly partisan. We talked about this here several times a year or two ago and the young liberal guys could not process. I own a gun, am pro life, believe in strong borders and the working class. In my formative days that was the Democratic Party. Both parties have shifted leaving a gaping hole in the middle crying for leadership. Cannot think of a better point in time in my life than now for someone to fill it. This crisis calls for that type of response.For the youngsters here, this was 1972 platform, the first election I voted in. You can understand that those of us that grew up in that time period and adhere to those philosophies may not fit today’s version of the party. It is one reason my wife is now an independent. What is tragic in this country is the perceived bullying by both sides to adhere strongly to the far side of each ideology. It doesn’t have to be. For the older members here, some of you have changed with your party and some of us have not. Leave the name calling out of it.https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/428559-1972-campaign-reveals-how-much-modern-democrats-have-changed
It was for discussion here. I find myself supporting some of their views, not all. We are in agreement on their backgrounds and that is why it would b fascinating to me to do a national survey of doctors on this topic. Doctors in NYC may have very different opinions than those in Lincoln, NE despite similar educational backgrounds. My reason for bringing it here is not all of the medical community is in harmony on what to do next. There are valid arguments on all sides. I should have known it would lead to the name calling, but I had hope it would be discussed rather than what it devolved into.
