Oso planning to go pro
To be fair, Trump did act 2 years ago--by firing the pandemic response team. Thank god Fauci is still around.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
While Trump certainly deserves criticism for some of the things he has said, he has done things well too. Shutting down travel from China was absolutely the right move, and he was called xenophobic and racist for it.
He was right in shutting down travel from Europe, and got criticized for leaving the UK and Ireland open, because they had far fewer cases. That changed the next day, on both counts.
So, I see that this thread has gone completely political in the last 2 pages with each side going to their respective corner, including you rocky. Color me disappointed.Out.
Trying to re-focus here, do not assume youth = survivablity. The odds are certainly in your favor if you're under 70ish, but there are dire cases cropping up of 30-40 year olds in critical condition.The virus appears to be attacking a particular cell receptor that is most prevalent in the lungs but also exists in heart tissue. My wife is a PA and belongs to a group where providers are sharing experiences with the hope of somehow developing some kind of hive mind best practices to attack this thing. It's every bit as dire as it sounds, and it's hitting younger people by attacking heart tissue.Also, another resource I've found that seems good, or at least informative.Podcast: https://peterattiamd.com/covid-19-update-03152020/ and https://peterattiamd.com/peterhotez/
One thing is not like the other. At least everyone know nows for sure what politics are allowed and which are not. And why some always get to stay while others get banned.
Nah, not really. If you actually read there is a pretty political post that got this latest storm started. And its from right of center. It would be REALLY nice if we could just drop the politics, period, but some people can't help themselves. And some people can't help but rush to the defense of politicians that haven't done a good job by any measurement. That's when it becomes political.It's as if calling the sky blue when its blue is political.
The CDC has, Fauci has.
I hope the steps we are taking help push the line towards SC/Japan. The China numbers are likely understated -- the Italy/Spain line is frightening.
And then the usual suspects started throwing monkey poo around (82, tsmith, da pontiff, pakuni) and rocky encourages it.
Eye cee, so Inn a knutshell, Trump's ta blame four da entire covid-19 outbrake, aina?
Fauci will have saved us thousands of lives without anyone noticing. He is a good man. Not a BSer
"but some people can't help themselves. And some people can't help but rush to the defense of politicians that haven't done a good job by any measurement" this is the red meat-how does one not respond to this. everyone, especially "the other side" is going to be critiquing this to the max looking for an edge. problem is that we are in uncharted territory so people need to be a little more tolerant if that's at all possible
Agreed. This is going to be ugly. But I have a feeling it will not be as bad as it could have been, thanks to Fauci.Give the dude every award in the book when the dust settles.
