Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

then do what you mandate, dont do what the one in california did, who is going to follow what he says when he breaks his own mandates, again a hypocrite to the highest order, ,,,,i can do what i want,,,, too bad for you peasants....

 

period gun now seems stuck....

 

cuomo at it again,, claims religious gatherings,, not biden victory celebrations are super-spreader events,, funny,, this happens after the state is sued by orthodox jewish groups for suppressing their right to worship,, then denies schools were going to close minutes before the nyc mayor, another tool, closes them,, guess one hand does not know what the other is doing.....

 

Personally, I disagree with DeBlasio's decision to close the NYC schools. That being said outdoor victory celebrations with the overwhelming majority of participants wearing masks are much less likely to be super-spreader events than indoor religious services with very few participants wearing masks. By the way prohibiting indoor worship to prevent the spread of a pandemic is not new. Similar restrictions were imposed during the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu pandemic.

 

1956 today highest number since MAY 7th (2177) wont be long before we are reaching April highs.

 

If President Trump had no hand in the rapid vaccine development and distribution, why is Biden begging him for the blueprints currently? If President Trump is such a bumbling fool, wouldn’t the smart move be to begin crafting your own vaccine distribution plan? You’ve got two months.

 

A smart person doesn't reinvent the wheel.

 

no,he waits for it to fall in his lap and take credit for it.these vaccines, if they work, are developed under the trump administration, even though some out there,hello Cuomo, would prefer to doubt there effectiveness and want to wait until sleepy joe is in office

 

That's politics. Kind of like the best economy ever under Trump, when the trend lines for unemployment and economic growth didn't change between Obama's last 6 years and Trump's first 3.

The Trump administration, I would hope, has plans to distribute the vaccine. Those plans should be shared with the Biden transition team. Not doing so could potentially delay distribution, and cause more people to catch COVID-19 and possibly die unnecessarily. But instead of doing what's best for the country, we have President Baby and his handlers coddling his ego.

 

btw where is trump while this virus is raging? He is bad for America.

 

You asked the wrong question. A better plan is why Trump will not provide Biden with any information about anything. And You are conflating two issues and presenting a misleading statement. Which nobody said anyway. First, Pfizer did not take money for developing the virus. But, it was incentivized by the $2 billion distribution commitment. Second, there has been no distribution of the vaccine. Nobody knows what the distribution plans are. Other than the current administration implying that the military will handle it. And, since the roll out will be on Biden’s watch, he needs access to the plans now. And needs to have input. So his people will be ready. Otherwise, if it is done with the same level of incompetence that the tests and PPE were handled by the Trump administration, we will be having debates here about how Biden is the president and it is his fault. And, by the way, you missed the overarching point: Trump is Damaging for country by refusing to participate in the transition. Trump has started the end of his administration by willfully doing damage to this country in order to advance a political agenda. Enabled by the GOP and its base.

 

Hey now, totally unfair to imply that they have no plan. It is ready to go and they will unveil it in about two more weeks. /s

 

TSA Accidentally Reveals It Believed DHS Was Downplaying COVID-19 in Lockstep with Trump White House

The story is really about how government offices abuse exemptions to FOIA requests, but this bit was informative.

 

there was a thread where people posted pics of hikes. I think this is it. Anyway, my wife & got up this morning & hiked Mayflower gulch (near leadville) to a ghost town. Only saw 1 hunter on his way out & 1 backcountry skier on her way in. scary warm @ 12k feet

 

well it has been about a week since the gov. of califoirnia, newsome violated all the mandates he set down with his dinner, ie more than 10 people, no masks, no social distancing, eating indoors.so where is the uproar from the media, why has biden, who campaigned on all those mandates not said squat? maybe no one has told him what to say, or he cannot find a telepromter, or could it be he just ignores it since it was a liberal, leftwing democratic gov.?imagine trump, or desantis, or any republican doing this, the media would be on them like flies on you know what.but like everything else, they would say about newsome, oh, he made a honest mistake, he will not do it again..it was no mistake, he just thought like hair salon nancy he would not get caught, but he did, again, hypocrite to the highest order, i do what i want, you peons do what i say.want to hear any of you try and defend biden or newsome on this, or will it just be " come on man's "from those who really hate trump and republicans.

 

That's a crap load of tracks in the snow for a ghost town.

 

got the comma and period gun fixed,.

 

You mad?

 

just think what is good for the goose is good for the gander, if you run your mouth, not you of course, i mean literally, you need to run it both ways, not just for what suits you, in this case it's ok to break your mandated rules if your a democrat the media and the president elect will give you a pass. again, if i live in california why in the hell should i obey the rules the rule maker does not???????oops, now the question mark gun is stuck.

 

I hope at some point your faith in your fellow man will be restored. Stay strong.
