Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Sweden is showing us what a no-shutdown approach would have looked like.

Confirmed COVID-19 deaths

Not trivializing death, but you are talking about 887 deaths in a nation of 10 million so far. Is that justification for shutting down a country?

 

[1972 Grad]

Not a Libertarian. Nor a Republican. Nor a Democrat. And I simply acknowledged a fact. And cutting off the origin of the virus seems like a good first step in preparation. Why does your Trump hate prevent you from seeing that Trump made some good choices to go along with some mistakes? He made a mistake leaving testing up to the CDC, one I bet other Presidents would make as well. And he certainly didn't help things with his diarrhea of the mouth. That falls fully upon him. But if you weren't so tied up believing left wing talking points you might see that reality is he hasn't done as poor a job as portrayed. I get this is an election year, but damn, can you not put aside politics for one second?

No, they cannot. They have mental issues.

Those guys are a-holes. There was a big issue with them a few years back. They tried to harass a guy and his family in a big Range Rover and he ran over their asses.

What have you done with EL?

The current law( s) are all anecdotal and based on politics , guesses , fear , propaganda, and inaccurate or in some cases inconsistent testing data . Yup sounds like a good base line for the “ health of the nation “

A lot can be justified by claiming it's "for the good of the nation". Not all of it is actually good.

I hate motorcycles. And I hate the personality type.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Fair point. It actually will be the test case. Unfortunately, it's not that heavily populated. I think they'll probably need to look at Stockholm in particular and see how it played out there. But Stockholm is not going to have the density of a London, Paris, Madrid or NYC.

OK, what is 887 people out of a city of 1 million people (Stockholm)?

Is that enough to shut a city down?

99.999999% isnt good

That did not cut off the origin though.....travelers came from Europe as well. You know we live in a global society. This is a global economy, therefore travel happens. Multiple points of entry.

You shouldn't hate motorcycles just because black gangs in Philadelphia, Atlanta or NYC like to terrorize the city.


The motorcycles are like a gun, they can't do that on their own.

A couple of things. It's interesting that East Tennessee has the least number of cases out of the 3 regions. I'm not sure what that says. Second, I think the numbers prove the quarantine is working.

Trump should have shot down all planes trying to enter the country, beginning New Years Day.

 

[RikidyBones]

Travel ban does nothing related to testing or preparing for the pandemic. For you to be a Libertarian, you sure do tote a lot of right wing water.

Imagine being against the travel ban, at this stage

Would you of been for an entire international travel ban in Feb or early March? Be honest.

The biggest known source at the time was China. And when he cut off travel from China, he was immediately called xenophobic and racist. And then he eventually cut off more travel. But no one on the left was siding with him when he originally cut travel. Hell, they've tried to label everything he's done as wrong, and no one of consequence, as far as I'm aware, has actually stepped up and acknowledged Trump was right and their name calling and mudslinging was wrong. They thought his cutting travel was an overreaction.

I like that you're thinking outside the box.

He is for whatever Trump didn't do, and against every thing Trump did. He's mentally deranged.

Just noticed I said "travel band". Too late I already changed it. Your slipping....haha

Considering how the Dems panned Trump for cutting travel, why should anyone believe a Dem in the Oval Office would have handled this better? All this making it about politics, I agree Trump could have done some things better, but the left is ignoring what their own initial reactions were. This would have been tough on any President, and I'm far from convinced any President could have done better.

Tough hand for sure and unprecedented.
