    I doubt it. I think they are conning people I think with confirmed test cases comparisons which with H1N1 many people weren't tested like this at first.

    What an ignorant comment for an American to make. Trump is not above our elected officials. Congress is a co-equal branch.

    The deaths happen with or without testing. The deaths are the key. They are testing deaths that resemble. A man had two heart attacks in a 48 hour period. His death was attributed to Corona even though he had a history of heart attacks. Pretty safe to assume most covid deaths are being counted.

    Was there anything more loathsome to our founders than authoritarians? I guess it's a irksome side effect that we strive and fight to protect personal liberties for people folks so willing to give them up. :puke:

    We agree GL. I was careful to say "yet" in my post. ...but that was my point. We can't ban people for an opinion that could be wrong ...or...even in the slimmest of chances...be correct when he has done nothing ban worthy.

    so because some senators have their own agendas the country and its ecomomy should go down the toilet, and without toilet paper even.

    Are you 100% sure? Just asking because a lot of folks are calling Fever down...with no more evidence than he has.

    Not saying you are wrong...this just further validates my point. We have people calling out posters for their baseless info, then the response should have proof. Otherwise we are all just giving opinions. (Which is fine in this forum of course).

    Gotta laugh at the message. Now, it's grandparents should be willing to die for their grandchildren to have a good economy. As a grandchild, I'll trade the economy for another year with my grandfather.

    Senators are representing their constituents. Hence, the PEOPLE.

    If you were to start Banning people for their opinions every liberal on this site would be gone.

    Okay, let's set aside the confirmed test cases comparisons since those aren't reliable. When you see the trajectories for deaths between the two pandemics, what reasons do you have for believing this won't end up as bad at H1N1?
