Why.. They aren't the ones in charge. It's OK to say.. Yeah mistakes were made and we will have to live with the consequences. This better not dick up the election in November because if there isn't one then Pelosi becomes President in January and I sure as hell don't want that
Every nation other than Taiwan and the like were caught off guard because of misinformation. Pandemics aren't an ordinary event. We were ahead of the curve compared to many nations.

so many zealots, men and women, who choose a side, an ideology by which to interpret the world. But, to get up every single day and do the hard work of deciding what to believe. What's right, today? When to stand up or stand down. That's courage.

Certain people are gleeful that this pandemic is as destructive as it is (both human life and economic).

They want chaos and an economic downturn as a reason to enact social change.

You f'n political rant is getting really f'n old. Go watch something besides MSNBC. You might try reading a few Reuters stories just to change things up.
Not one thing here is msnbc.. Not one. You clearly are familiar with what they must be saying though.

How many on this board would have been o.k with them skipping evolution in skool and teaching intelligent design instead? I would bet at least 10-25% would be o.k if we skipped it...except now they are hoping for a vaccine that depends on being educated deeply in the science of evolution. Just one example...
Vaccines are not rooted deeply in the science of evolution. The antigenic drift or mutations within a virus do not equal whole new species of animals being created. Evolution can not be proven. It is a theory. Intelligent design can not be proven. It is a theory and in my case as a scientist I believe it is true. Life is far too complex to have begun in a sea of primordial soup. I logically see no way that evolution explains how that newborn mammal knows to take that first breath. Life is too complex. IMO, both options should be presented to students along with the explanation of why some scientists believe in evolution. Likewise students should be told that intelligent design is supported by the greatest history book ever written (The Bible) and then left at that. That's for their parents to explain.

Jon Stewart Era was as good as TV gets. I'll admit I rarely watch the new version. Noah might be an actual genius but it's not the same with Stewart
Jay Leno was the last late night host I watched.
Also, give me some Frank Caliendo any day

I agree. If anything, evolution is a hindrance to science.

I watch a little MSNBC, CNN, Fox, CBS. You name it. Your obsession with trying to place blame for this deal is nauseating. I don't know how many times from a scientific view point I have tried to explain that the fault for this lies overseas. If Trump was a week late in getting excited about this, SO WHAT! IT DIDN'T F'N MATTER! It had been here since early January if not late December. New York had MONTHS to DO SOMETHING and they did next to NOTHING. Their f'n subways are still packed. They just shut down bars and restaurants a short while ago. LOCAL authorities are responsible on a case by case basis to do what is right. The CDC warned them.

Im watching these briefings. Trump and five of his experts lined up...almost touching elbows. What about the 6 foot rule? How about modeling behavior. Is this following CDC guidelines?

These deaths projections and overrun hospitals are similar to the dragons in the Game of Thrones.

Except the dragons eventually showed up.

Looks like we'll find out over the next 3 weeks. Which is great, because I have some backyard BBQs to enjoy.

NY might be at the peak right now. Very possible this is as bad as it gets. If so even more evidence that shutting down the country wasn't necessary.

We'll see.

No, it says that 50,000 will need hospitalization, but available beds are 13000. Only the sickest are being admitted, the rest are being sent home because there are no more beds available.

Was also like the Tony Dungy coaching tree of comedy shows. Colbert, Oliver, Carrell, etc.

Have you noticed they're already working on keeping you scared in the fall?

https://www.ibtimes.com/coronavirus-usa-second-wave-outbreak-fall-possible-fauci-warns-2949741

Might as well cancel everything for an entire year.

"Essential" or work from home employees only. Everyone else lives off the government's $1200 a month.

Be afraid. Live in fear.
Whoever these punks are, and I didn't give them my click, do they talk about the guy in san fran who has spliced the original covid? Turning into the ultimate prophylactic, where wuhan cant enter our cells?
The serum results thus far, or those from china which shows 100% effects, no ventilator needed? Or, the chloroquine results?
We have these tools, possibly no vaccine needed. Plus, those infected this late likely won't be able to reinfect in fall, just months from peak. So, add in herd effect.

You tell me.

It seems like there are 2 sets of doctors.

Those who are ready to push the apocalypse and want the worst case scenario so they can blame Trump.

And then those who aren't hysterical liberals.

I'm starting to believe that many aspects of this "crisis" is shady and over sensationalized. Projection models provided by an activist group scared everyone to shut up and obey. Misleading death calculations and seemingly blatant inaccuracies stocking the flames.

Not saying this virus is nothing. When the dust settles we shall know. I'm still hedging my bets of course just in case.
My calculations of 200,000 five days ago, going on much less info than they have, but, without our actions, many would needlessly die.

The proposal was aimed at the Muslim ban. It did not "mysteriously disappear", it was withdrawn at the Republicans request because it would have picked up the coronavirus travel bans.
No, it was the china ban, look it up.
The muslim ban? There was a seven country ban. Like awhile ago, when wuhan was known as just a area of china.
They'll twist anything ;)

The WHO IS in charge. They and china lied, people died.
Letting the trump china travel opposition bill die in march, in January,they were trying to impeach with only one side of witness,three years of russia russia russia etc.
Thats all theyve done besides getting money to the kennedy center,which then fired its musicians and sent five million back to their masters.

But,besides that, the other sides done nothing but complain, like in this countries worst emergency, they need to go away, their lap dogs too.
Their opinions arent wanted right now, they are digging their own political graves.

I have seen no evidence of this being accurate. Got a source or two?

NY and New Orleans are in different situations than the rest of the country (for now)

I really hope these creeps
Dont get it
Their moms dont get it
Their dads dont get it
The wifes,girlfriends,boyfriends,sig others dont get it

But I also hope they don't get caught alone some day bynthose who know or had people in their lives suffer from this, then they'll really,finally get it.

I agree. If anything, evolution is a hindrance to science.
Only if its used. Ironic as that sounds, it's true. As dingle said, it can't be proven, but if you lead with a theory,you're only left with questions.
In a greater power,God, questions are good for us, not for those when deadlines are due, and attitudes are at stake concerning how they look,which then,it often becomes a crutch.
