    I have a relative who went through that a couple of months ago. He said it was heck for several weeks. Hope that is not the case with you.

    Can you imagine the furor on this board if Trump had said this? ""If we fail to act, there will be a wave of evictions and foreclosures in the coming months as this pandemic rages on, because there's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months," Biden said.

    This is just Biden setting us up for his total inability to effect change.

    What's your plan to change the pandemic's trajectory during the next several months?

    P.S. No one can. Trump let it get this bad because he decided it would soon disappear so didn't worry about or consider a vaccine.

    The pandemic cannot be tamed during the next several months. Did you read the entire speech -- or just cherry-pick that sentence?

    Funny you don't say that until a liberal dem who needs LOTS of excuses is in the WH.

    That is an incredible statement. We developed a vaccine in record time and are using it now. It should be called the Trump vaccine by every honest and fair-minded person.

    For half a year or more, when we could have been wearing masks and social distancing for prevention purposes, Trump was still saying covid was a big, fat nothing. And we should stop testing because it shows too many covid positives.

    Trump had nothing to do with the vaccine development. Do some library research about coronaviruses! Plus, he had no coronavirus vaccine distribution plan to speak of.

    The truth is that the Christmas surge is already in decline and Quid most likely knows it .

    Everybody knows it, but doesn't mean its over, just we went through another wave. We still have to increase vaccine PRODUCTION and get people vaccinated faster.

    Joe full well knows that too!

    That's not true. And for that matter, when masks first began to be seen as necessary, they sold out in about five minutes and it took weeks to get ramped up to supply them in sufficient numbers.

    It was the Trump administration that spurred the development of that vaccine in record time. Who do you think did it? Pelosi?

    You know, "we", kind of like the United States of America? Kind of like, "We the people"??? Remember now?

    Being honest is not a problem for me. I'm not a liberal dem.

    Of course, the sensible libs wore masks and social distanced. Trump was forced to wear a mask twice and always turned rallies and other social occasions into superspreader events. His supporters also eschewed following the rules.

    You haven't done your homework on coronaviruses, have you. Tsk!

    You mean like the many dozens of democrat tolerated "peaceful demonstrations" that occurred? You mean like that? I don't have a problem with the masks. I wear mine when I'm supposed to, but the use of masks has become widespread and yet the virus is still is high gear, so I'm not convinced they are much more than marginally effective outside of the N95 medical masks that virtually no one uses. I suppose that staying at home is the most effective measure, but that's not possible and even Biden knows that. Even dem governors are having to face the music on that aspect of prevention.

    That one statement certainly seems to indicate that you don't know how the vaccine was developed. It's rather equivalent to saying, "I don't know much about the virus, so I'll just say 'Tsk!' and hope it sounds otherwise." Sorry, but it didn't work. But if you REALLY want to do "your homework", here's a good place to start. And this is coming from someone who actually has done his homework.

    It will be interesting to see if the Kavanaugh accusers on this site are as quick to accept this lady's accusations against Cuomo as they were to accept the half-baked, unsupported accusations made against Kavanaugh.

    Could Cuomo be the next serious candidate to be blacklisted by the cancel crowd?

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cuo...ombshell-essay

    "A former aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo is accusing the embattled New York leader of sexually harassing her -- including unwanted kissing and touching -- and says his top female staffers "normalized" the behavior. Lindsey Boylan, the former deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to the governor, said Cuomo constantly sought her out and had staffers arrange meetings with her, where he made inappropriate comments. "
