It’s an interesting read that I think offers some pretty obvious insights.  I think an event like this really does clarify how bitter the divide is socially and politically in the country.  We’ve talked about it on here.  It’s hard to see where it’s going.  I am not optimistic though.

It’s going to get worse. The passionate left hates the passionate right and vice versa. It’s retarded

This one time I was getting a cavity search for suspected heroin use (fucking NH) and he tickled my prostate just right and I nutted all over the police cruiser. I thought he'd be mad but he told me it happens all the time and winked at me.

He never found the heroin btw.

so are you still seeing him?

I think this is accurate. As an admitted conservative I hate seeing the government with power like this although I have followed most of the rules set in place out of concern for family.  Seeing the authorities using drones to monitor people's social distancing and watching the cops use force on people because of it is unsettling to me.  As far as experiences, not much of it outside of New York or people that were overseas when this began.

Hey, Lou: do you agree?

In fairness I didn’t expect we would count heart attack and stroke victims. Believe I said 40-50 would be the max. Only 37k currently sit on death certificates but we continue to brief 70k. Flu deaths from febryand March are being reclassified to corona. Go back and look at some of your bullshit math.

So you think that Trump should not have allowed the funding for the gain of function research?

 Most the money was sent under Obama. I do think trump should have listened to intel about the dangers in 17-18. It appears Fauci was very influenced by his wife ‘s medical ethics opinions after all

buddy of mine is an administrator at Loma Linda University medical center. ten days ago he told me they'd had only about 40 rona cases, and of those, 4 patients had died. they were running at about 50% capacity.

also worth noting that the US navy ship that docked in san pedro was prepared to handle roughly a thousand patients. they'd had 70 as of last week.

We're not giving up, we're taking the virus on. People realize that if this economy doesn't get fired up soon there will be more irreparable damages to our well being. You are free to stay inside as long as you want. Nobody is preventing you from doing that.

I'm not free to stay inside. I still have to work 40 hours a week. I'd prefer to not contract Covid because people care more for the economy than people's lives.

I wonder how you'd react if one of your loved ones died from the virus. I'm guessing you'd be OK with it because they were going to die of it anyway. Their sacrifice was for the better of America.

Because we’ve all been inside the last 2 months.  How is so hard to see we’ve had a very positive effect on things?

You've just been hiding from it. Now it's time to accept that thousands of people are going to die from it anyway.

It’s what I was saying.  It’s gonna take direct experience with the virus for dumbfuck right wing rednecks to understand the severity.  Thank you @Adam.

And it's gonna take lefty working moms not being able to afford the good rose and missing their first dave matthews show in 9 years to understand the severity.

I don't see lefties protesting or saying "OPEN IT UP!" anywhere. Pretty sure we understand the severity. 

Nice effort to Both Sides this, though.

You're being quite a baby about being so wrong. It's ok, man: Korean baseball starts soon enough.

A nice warm story that all of us need right now. Good job, @Adam for doing the right thing.

Yep. It's a terrifically difficult line to walk and it's been pretty much hell on the healthcare system. We're opening things up to a degree, but it's never going to be the same.

Sounds like social distancing is working.

LOL. I am as close as the experts with a whole lot less information. Had did that 2 million work out for you. Look closely and you will see I had the death rate at .5 to .6 a long time ago. Of course you mocked me then.
