Hugh Phamism Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 42 minutes ago, Justin Z said: It should be awakening hearts and minds across the US that the Democratic establishment would rather put Joe Biden up, and lose to Trump, than put Bernie Sanders up, and win in November. But it's not. To paraphrase what I told someone earlier, America is done, and it needs to burn to the ground and be rebuilt from the ashes in order to change. It is full of absolute morons, and it will take suffering and dying en masse for any of them to let go of their moronic beliefs. The injustice is that that will involve the suffering and dying of a lot of people who in no way deserve it, too, and many of those who do will be more or less unaffected. But that's simply the way it is, and there's little that can be done. Strong words Justin, but difficult to argue with them. The extreme Jingoism that has been drummed up by Trump and his supporters in the past 18 months is now a permanent feature in American life.

Actually social distancing would work great if only 1 person had it in Dundee, they stay at home can't pass it on. But if they go out to the pub pass it 4, they pass to 4 each during the week, by next weekend you got 21 with it. With 21 now infected social distancing still helps but that's 21 people still popping to shop or required work so say 10 of them could still pass it on again to 1 or 2 more. If only 1 had done it this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maple Leaf Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Trump isn't responsible for COVID-19 being in the USA, but he is responsible for the Administration's reaction to it, and for the country's preparedness. According to this article, he has failed, despite being given plenty of warning: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/20/politics/us-intelligence-reports-trump-coronavirus/index.html "Donald Trump may not have been expecting this, but a lot of other people in the government were -- they just couldn't get him to do anything about it," the official noted to the Post. "The system was blinking red." Within the administration, Trump's aides tried in vain to convince him of the virus's seriousness, according to the Post. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar was unable to discuss the virus with Trump until January 18, two senior administration officials told the Post -- at which point the President interrupted him to ask when sales of flavored vaping products would resume, senior administration officials told the paper.

Malinga the Swinga Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I see the esteemed president is refusing to call the Defence Act and force companies to assist with efforts to deal with Corona Virus. I mean it has passed through all phases and now all it needs is Trump to call it. He simply refuses to do because Business is his friend and he needs their support to fund election campaign. He is also rumoured to want to relax self-containment measures as they are causing problem on publics abilities to go out and spend money, and he needs the economy to be boosted as he wants to be re-elected. God Bless America indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Its so sad the Country and people in chaos. Deaths, economic problems for the nation and individuals, and this man President of the United States is carrying out election campaign rhetoric with his usual everything is the best in the world, we have the greatest economy ever, it seems even some of his advisers have had enough and are not attending his briefings. Questions asked about why some with no symptoms are getting tested when others cannot get examined. Suggests there will be big changes in eight days which even I can see the is just bull. He calls for a cessation of harassing and insulting of Asian Americans, probably being done by some of his ardent supporters who are acting on his description of Covid as being Chinese. Despite all this much to my disgust and prophesy that he would not finish his first term, the possible absence of a traditional form election may work in his favour for reelection.
