Thread: BREAKING: First child in US reportedly dies from coronavirus

BIG. FUCKING. POLITICAL. MISTAKE.

They should have let it ride. The cure destroyed America. The cause would not have.

America is not destroyed.


Just breathe.

It is. You just don't realize it.

Trump is giving hope. It’s psychological. I agree with him saying what he said. He said, “I’d like to see us end the lockdown April 12.” He didn’t say we WOULD. He said he’d like to see it. He’s giving people hope in the short term. The govt will REVISIT the situation and make a determination April 12. They most probably won’t lift the lockdown, but Trump putting a short term date out there gives people optimism. No one wants to hear: “we’re going to be locked down for 6 months!” That’s a psychological loser. Depression. Hopelessness. And besides, by April 12, some areas might be able to go about business; albeit in a more measured way, at least for awhile.

I find that point of view hysterical.


Anyway, in some ways it was destroyed way before this virus ever landed on our shores.


But let it ride?


Two questions:

Do you have children?

Would it be ok if it took one of your kids?

I would agree with most of that.


And you are right.


He didn't even say he would put America back to work by Easter.

He doesn't have the authority to override the states anyway.

So it's all moot really.

Most people who aren't giving Trump a sideways look for saying this are those who somehow still manage to think the virus is imaginary or not a big deal, or people saying what you've said here, "he's giving hope". The idea of the populace returning to business as usual in the midst of a pandemic does the opposite of giving hope to those aware of the implications.

short attention spans can't conceive 'months '

so he's shrinking it down into palatable bite size pieces for them to swallow


but he's going to need to stand aside and et the medics take over now


seriously

:(

they have us right where they always wanted us, with no rights


can't buy guns or ammo
can't go outside
can't go to work


do you think they are just going to give everyones rights back after wanting it for hundreds of years

I think there will be a lot of pressure from corporate America to open things back up -- maybe sooner than we should.

I'll agree with your premise.

No children. But if I did have them of course it would not be OK. But life sucks and it isn't fair. Digital dollar just around the corner. No more cash soon enough.

Why not? We are testing more and more everyday now yet # of new cases appears to be stabilizing. 13k on 24rd, just under 10k today...

Well, the first child died of COVID-19 in the US today.

As a father, I can't say "let it ride" with the social darwinists.

23rd not 24rd - fat finger

That would only suggest our efforts are having some effect and we perhaps should not end them prematurely, but I'm not sure that's right.



I have been keeping very good track of the numbers and I will have a look.

About 10 K in the last 24 hrs is correct.

About 9K in the previous 24 hrs according to my records.


Thread: Nine Weeks to Coronavirus Chaos in the US? (UPDATE: 28.7 M cases -- 516 K dead - Week 9 Recap: p. 53) (Page 26)

the current rate of progression will take us to roughly the 500K dead point by mid-april, so what better time for trump to pour gasoline on the fire? by early may there will be multiple millions of NEW dead for his overlords to jack off to. not a very pleasant prospect.

yet if a certain perverse logic is applied this approach WILL hasten the demise of the virus, much as huge fire burns itself out, but it's a hell of a way to get past this.

kind of like shipping half the nation off to war, with ten percent of them dying...only THEN the dead wouldn't be contaminated. assuming the virus is real [which you kind of have to], there's no real way to win this.

so let's hope those Q-tards are right.
