When you're general everything rolls up. Come on man that's basic... Some states were worse than others. Do you agree with cali locking down it's beaches?
In general the states with the most strict restrictions had far lower excess mortality rates. Like over 30%. I wasn't big on it at the time, but in hindsight the data shows that being strict and loosening up slowly while keeping an eye on infection rates was the right course of action.
I agree that locking down initially to varying degrees proved to be the most effective way to prevent hospitals from being as overwhelmed and saved a lot of lives. Nobody knew how it was spreading at first. I think temporarily locking down what you could while getting a handle on things was probably not a bad idea. COVID spread like wildfire over spring break in 2020. Locking down the beaches probably saved a lot of lives. New Study: College Spring Break Helped Spread The Coronavirus I think in cases of an epidemic we should probably listen to the epidemiologists and do what they say until we know more. If they suggest closing the beaches temporarily then I would agree that we should close the beaches temporarily.
I'm wondering if it's worth Harris' while to actually do an interview before the debate. It seems to me there's a lot more win in keeping her positions somewhat nebulous. Not only will it not allow Trump to really prepare, it'll drive him crazy that she's not doing what he wants her to do. And, no, I don't think it will give him an opportunity to "define her first" like the media is suggesting. Don't give into the pundits on this. If Trump has shown us one thing, it's that a lot of people don't care about articulating your policies in detail before -- or, in his case, even during -- you're elected. Between the positive vibe of her running and Trump just being evil, she doesn't need to spell everything out just yet. She laid out her agenda at the DNC. Now she should let Trump's ego eat him alive heading into the debate.
It depends on what you mean by 'position'. There's no way they'd offer West an actual job. They might have offered to let him serve on "Meaningless Commission to Study the Blah Blah Blah", but even that seems like a stretch. barfo
agree, anymore it doesnt matter, what and how, any issue is discussed with the press, seems unproductive. In order for Kam to keep her great mystique and positive synergy the less seen till debate the better. Look at actors and/or entertainers that catch lightening in a bottle, that keep a low profile for sometime. Makes them even more popular.
She should just keep campaigning. Continue to travel across the country talking to the people. It will indeed drive Trump crazy and give him less ammo. She can say she doesn't need do interviews with the media because she isn't concerned about inflating her ego, she is busy talking to Americans face to face instead of through reporters.
