Oso planning to go pro
Come on man, you're better than this. Not every other comment has to be an arrogant partisan pissing contest, regardless of the side you're on.
You give me way too much credit. It's just simple sarcasm.For weeks, Fox downplayed the threat of the coronavirus, characterizing it as a conspiracy by media and Dems to undermine President Trump.Hannity and Ingraham accused the news media of whipping up “mass hysteria” and being “panic pushers.” Fox Business host Trish Regan called the alleged media-Democratic alliance “yet another attempt to impeach the president.”Trump held a news conference on March 13 declaring a national emergency. Until then, Trump’s allies on Fox News took the same stance as the president himself — that this coronavirus that had sickened and killed thousands of people in China was no worse a threat than the seasonal flu.Hannity downplayed cororavirus deaths by saying: “Twenty-six people were shot in Chicago alone over the weekend. I doubt you heard about it. You notice there’s no widespread hysteria about violence in Chicago. And this has gone on for years and years. By the way, Democratic-run cities, we see a lot of that.”Ingraham called Democrats the “pandemic party” and displayed photos of Pelosi and Schumer alongside images of coronavirus molecules. “How sick that these people seem almost happiest when Americans are hurting,” she said. She later said, "The facts are actually pretty reassuring, but you’d never know it watching all this stuff.”Tucker Carlson is the only one who took it somewhat seriously even as he blamed the “corrupt” media. On March 7, Jeanine Pirro said, “All the talk about coronavirus being so much more deadly [than the flu] doesn’t reflect reality.” Nunes appeared on Fox to say “stop panicking” and to “just go out.” So, that is where the sarcasm comes from. Their viewers cannot be knowledgeable when they are lied to on a daily basis.
Well, it's official https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-01/china-concealed-extent-of-virus-outbreak-u-s-intelligence-saysBut I laugh at these statements:This is the wrong focus. Nobody should care who has more cases, just find the best solution going forward.Sure...we've done our best to collect data. cough.

In other news, looking forward to hearing the praise for DeSantis for FINALLY doing what he should have done a month ago My GF's mom lives in the central part of Florida. She informed her about the new rule and she was puzzled cause "doesn't seem like anybody else is changing anything". Which is exasperating. Especially since her mom's BF would clearly be in the intersection of multiple vulnerable populations.
"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said religious services conducted in churches, synagogues and houses of worship are “essential business” and therefore exempt from this stay-at-home executive order announced this afternoon.”
"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said religious services conducted in churches, synagogues and houses of worship are “essential business” and therefore exempt from this stay-at-home executive order announced this afternoon."So I'm going to go with "Never" in terms of him earning praise.
Wow. Just wow.
Will they start paying taxes like essential businesses?
I don’t think that’s how an essential business is determined. There are a lot of people who believe their religion is essential however. God bless em
Not on Fox News, but just like Pelosi and DiBlasio did....Yeah we get it. Stop the politics.
Exactly. Only one politician has been right on this from day one that I know of - Sen Tom Cotton. Everybody else who opined early (that I’ve seen quoted) from both parties didn’t get it.
The same Tom Cotton who's suggested COVID-19 was created in a secret Chinese lab?I guess we'll see.You're right that Cotton was one of the first to see it coming. But his spreading of fringe theories about its origins doesn't seem helpful.
Florida...took almost 8,000 cases for the Governor to act. (need that Spring Break money)
Unaware of any fringe/conspiracy theories he has espoused. I’m certainly not a fan of that sort of thing. But when Trump was holding rallies and the Dems were only interested in impeachment he was a lonely and accurate voice about the seriousness of the virus.
btw, anyone coming around to hydroxychloroquine yet? Seems doc are taking it prophylacticallyOk, anecdotal story my nephew just got back from Africa. He’s been there before, but one of the things they do to prepare their bodies for the different environment is take the anti malarial drug, hydroxychloroquine. He’s been back about a week and no Signs nor symptoms of that thing that’s going around here
They are? Source?Because the regulatory agencies have sent out communications specifically to those with prescriptive authority that this should NOT be done.And your anecdotal story? Um.. isn't it possible he just hasn't been infected? Also, taking the drug has nothing to do with a "different environment" and everything to do with avoiding malaria.
