    contact tracing will be fun.

    I will start collecting people's names wherever I can. I can say I spend time at any places that I don't like and make them be quarantined.

    This also can work concerning masks. Someone said we should go to walmart on sunday and not wear masks. Then walmart can be fined $500 for each instance where the mask requirement is violated.

      I would agree. Puerility isn't really my forte.

          Speaking for myself, while those who use that term are mostly virtue signaling, i don't object to it enough to complain. Other viruses / pandemics have been referred to by their geographic origin.

            No Sparko. The Federal response to this virus has failed in nearly every way. And the reason is because those leading have ignored, lied about, or othwise corrupted the science of the situation. Trump himself is as anti-science as they come and has at every single turn refused to yield to what the CDC, Fauci, Birx and others have repeatedly said about what needs to be done. That is why things are totally screwed up right now.

            What I am calling the politization of this is ANY distortion of the science itself for political purposes. Doesn't matter which party, or what ideology. But Trump himself has repeatedly and purposefully ignored and distorted and flat out lied about the science itself. That is an objective evaluation, it has nothing to do with politics.


            Scientific advice: shut down till the virus spread has been reduced to managable levels

            Trump response: lack luster, dragging his feet all the way, and pushing without regard to the science to reopen long before we had come anywhere near taming the spread.

            Result: Partial implementation nationwide, Rebound and relapse, to the point we are adding cases more than twice as fast as when we instituted the first shutdown, the squandering of great public sacrifice and more than a Trillion dollars in aid.

            ----

            Scientific advice: TEST, TEST, TEST. Then contact trace.

            Trump response: again, lack luster, slow, dragging his feet, and a continuous and unrelenting pretense that testing itself is making things bad, even bragging he asked his people to slow testing down.

            Result: we still are way behind on testing, delays are 3 to 7 DAYS, far too long to allow effective contact tracing (which is impossible anyway due to the number of cases)

            ---

            Scientific advice: Wear masks, social distance, avoid large gatherings

            Trump response: refuse to wear masks, even where it is the law. Hold rallies where social distancing recommendations and mask wearing are ignored and rebuffed and in areas suffering from significant explosions of transmission and infection

            Result: infections in his own secret service and in the communities where the rallies were held, general public hostility towards mask wearing and public health safety by those that are in his 'base'.
            "Do as I say, not as I do!" Got it.

              It gets incredibly childish.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                As was this one, until they decided to use it for POLITICAL advantage to attack Trump.

                  That's about a nutsy a reply as I've seen from you. Totally unrelated to my post, off in the wilderness somewhere.

                  Are you confused, drinking a bit too much today - what?
                  My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                  If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                  This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                        Extreme rightish, Childish and racist is describing the the coronavirus as 'Chicom virus.'

                            I was referring to rogue06 in this case using 'Chicom virus to describe COVID-19. This is his thread. I will refer to you in other threads and posts when appropriate.

                                Not a coherent response to avoid the racist issue of calling the coronavirus the racist 'Chicom virus.'
