ROME (AP) — While millions of people took advantage of easing coronavirus lockdowns to enjoy the outdoors, some of the world’s most populous countries reported worrisome new peaks in infections Sunday, including India, which saw its biggest single-day jump yet.
I am so sick and tired about the mushy talk about re-opening, with zero plans for widespread testing. The antibody testing has to be ramped up too - but zero plans for that. This demands a federal response and trump is flailing and failing. It’s like we have just accepted that testing won’t be a right that we all can exercise, to make our re-opening a modicum more safe. And the trump supporters have moved on from testing, to just let old folks die. It just doesn’t get any worse than that.
Hey COVIDIOT’s. Use the Google Machine to lookup up “1918 Flu - Second Wave”.
A resurgence of Covid-45 along with seasonal flu this fall, and you’re gonna look pretty stupid. And dead.
That is so spot on. I don’t think anyone would argue that the President and those who are around him should not be tested, but the idea that they are the only ones who need to be tested is just brutal. I hope that your point becomes widespread.
It’s almost like Mitch McConnell has someone doing the math on how many social security payments are no longer going out due to deaths and how proportional that is to the dollar signs multiplying in his eyeballs.
Aside from Wuhan there has been no lockdown. But “lockdown” is a hot button word that instantly makes avoiding infection a political issue to rally the usual flag waving idiots who don’t want to wear masks. And pretty soon they won’t want you to wear a mask either.
After six weeks at home people think there would be a national strategy put in place to allow the economy to restart. They would think wrong. Businesses have adapted to stay open and still protect their employees and their customers. Trump sent Pence to the Mayo Clinic to demonstrate business owners can not set the standards for their own property.
he corona virus is apolitical. More exposure means more cases.
A spike is to be expected…tragic as that is.
Americans tend to look at this as a Red Blue political issue, but it really isn’t. Every country on the planet wants this pandemic to end as soon as possible, every person on the planet wants to get back outside and back to work. Elected officials everywhere are under pressure. The way I look at it is the best we can say right now is the pandemic isn’t over, right now there is ICU capacity. That capacity might be full in 10 days. Hope the infection rate hasn’t increased to a point the ICU capacity is exceeded when you get Covid-19.
Dr. Birx: “if they go home and infect their grandmother or their grandfather … they will feel guilty for the rest of [their] lives.”
Will they, though? These protestors obviously don’t care about other people or they wouldn’t be doing what they’re doing.
She’s trying to personalize it because these people clearly have no social sense of responsibility in the abstract, and they feel they owe nothing to strangers.
They probably do care a little bit about their own, but they are so deep into denial and lack of any scientific understanding at all, nothing else really matters. If they came home and infected one of their own children and that child later died, they’d process it so they weren’t responsible. That’s how sick this segment of our culture is. They just don’t get the concept of their liberty ending where yours and mine begin.
Margie Roebuck and her husband were among the first on the sand at Island Beach State Park.
“Forty-six days in the house was enough,” she said.
Sounds like Margie needs to speak to coronavirus’ manager.
“Where are the tests, President Trump? We want to get back to work quickly and safely. Repeat: Where are the tests?”
Seems no earthly reason why this question should not dominate Democratic discourse. It would advance public-health and political objectives simultaneously and effectively.
