At least Biden has a heart and a brain.

There is evidence of that?

Yes. After all, would you really rather have Trump's brain running your country?

Facing reality . All these measures are the equivalent of the prevent defense . The slowing of the rate of infection won't change the fact that the virus is going to run it's course until humans achieve herd immunity .

IF herd immunity can be achieved and for how long. I started my theory of the virus with it will get everybody eventually, but obviously you don't want everybody, or even a great number sick at the same time do we? We can barely handle a small percentage sick right now. We can't get a reliable quick test now, making quarantine and isolation, and contact tracing useless, and a function just for hospitals.

Hoping for the best is natural, but planning for the worst was essential. Ignoring the NY example was plain stupid, and even you NY'ers aren't out of the woods. We ignored the lessons and learned nothing? Oh well hope we have enough refrigerator trucks for the dead. 1% of the population if were lucky.

The NY lesson is we are no better off than the Swedes . If by NY example you mean making sure the most vulnerable are exposed then no thanks .

I've conceded mistakes have been made, but we are early into the learning curve here Tom, and obviously we are a long way from figuring it out. I just don't get conservatives/repubs ignore it, and business as usual stance.

Guess you will figure out who to fleece to pay the tab later .

Lets see, repubs screw things up, and dems come along and unscrew things up. You need more than that? The real question has been when will repubs pick up the tab they make?

It's not my country inflicted by the colosall EGO that is Trump, but at least he has a brain even though it is little used, he can put two words together

No, he can't.

The dufus can actually put words together quite well, as long as they are nasty but also senseless.

That is just babbling

Like this?
“We secured nearly $1.2 billion to expand rural broadband, which you need very badly. You need very badly,” said Trump. “They have not treated the Midwest well with broadband, with anything having to do with the word computer. I look at some of those tractors and they don’t even hook up. They’re all set. But you don’t have the capability in terms of your infrastructure—” [a Fox anchor broke in to interrupt him].

Or this?
"He plagiarized from me," Trump told a reporter today on his way to Miami, Florida, referring to Joe Biden's economic plan. And then, "It's very radical left, but he said the right things, because he is copying what I've done."

This week to patronize a bar we have to buy some food and sit down . So an enterprising bar posted their new menu for the bar area .

Let me know how a bunch of drunks crowded around a bar works for fighting this spread of the virus.

Maybe they believe alcohol is an antiviral

Drunks do stupid stuff without or without a virus threat.

Some businesses out of necessity to survive have been forced to create an underground economy. Many will just fold under the draconian and unfair top down decisions .As an example , Gavin Newsome ,who owns wineries in Napa Valley has allowed them to operate. But the wineries in the San Juaquin Valley are not permitted to do so. Some businesses have gone so far as to use prohibition style methods ;peep holes ,special knocks or pass codes to trusted customers. Many service businesses like hair dressers ,nail salons ,massage ,tattoo parlors have resorted to a cash transactions only to bipass the mini-dicator's arbitrary decisions about which businesses may open or not.

yeah and so do Walmart and Costco customers . But those businesses have been deemed essential . In California they closed the bars but left the pot dispensaries open .

They give drugs and booze to the homeless addicts along with free hotel rooms . They call the hotel rooms temporary shelter . But the truth is that they plan on converting these hotels into permanent shelters ,and they plan on using Federal money to pay for it .
