    That’s a great tshirt idea. Even without any particular person depicted.

    Woodward on 60 Minutes tonight

    Is 60 Minutes fake news left wing propaganda?

    It wasn't Woodward's responsibility but he should have released the audio tapes the moment Trump started downplaying it. He was wrong to sit on those tapes just so he could continue to milk potus for more quotes

    Out of all his books, this is the first one that he ever put an opinion in. His opinion after covering 8 presidents is that Trump is not the man for the job, something he didn't even conclude about Nixon

    Yeah, it's pure genius from the poster you are responding to (I won't). 6.5 million Americans have the virus but it's not likely virus carriers were contagious.

    If it’s that contagious we would 150-200 million infected. I guess it’s not as contagious as you think.

    Or shelter in place ordinances prevented that from happening, I mean who really knows at this point, right?!?!?!

    No one in the south has been sheltering in place since early May. So let’s knock that theory out of the running.

    So in the 4 months since you’d think Covid would still be running rampant. But it’s not. It’s a flawed theory.

    Weren’t we tracking 75,000 new cases a day in July? You know, after shelter in place was lifted/ignored in the south in May, your words, not mine. Hmm, seems to line up, crazy, right?!?!?

    Wait, 75,000 total cases a day in the US and the south has approximately 95+ million residents Not locked down and this thing is supposed to be super contagious like you said? Doesn’t sound so contagious I guess.

    In Worst-Hit Covid State, New York’s Cuomo Called All the Shots

    Nice article detailing how awful Cuomo was at handling the Covid crisis.

    Shocking that one nursing home in NY refused to allow Covid+ patients into their nursing home and recorded no deaths. That nursing home was smart. Most wouldn’t stand up to Cuomo unfortunately and many lives were lost.

    There is a considerably higher probability of you getting inducted into the Ring of Honor than you have getting them to come off their ridiculous positions on COVID! It's been a part of the Dem strategy since March. I guess they may as well continue, no one in the media is going to expose the truth about their dirty little secret.

    Well, that’s not entirely accurate. A significant percentage of office buildings in Atlanta and surrounding metros are still working from home. Most high rise buildings are empty despite shelter in place being lifted. Atlanta is a pretty big city in the south, right? But by golly, it’s still spreading even though measures are still taken. Guess it HAS to be contagious after all, scary stuff, I know, right?!?!?

    what shelter in place order in the south from May until now? Florida has been open since May. Bars haven’t been but restaurants have been open. It’s ok to say it’s not that contagious.

    Georgia has a population of 4 million people and have 294k Covid cases. Man, that is super contagious. Shocked there isn’t 3.5 Million cases since it’s so dang contagious.

    Yup, it was more like 68,500 for the 7-day moving average at its zenith. We're at half of that now. It only spiked in regions that hadn't been hard hit back in March and April, which suggests there is a certain percentage of the population that are either immune or not as susceptible to infection as others. Once it runs its course, it seems to fizzle out.

    Maybe it was the right thing to do. But it wouldn’t have done a bit of good. Woodward recently did release the notes and trump still had a indoor super-spreader event.
