OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Where is the Vice President? Anyone think he got it after his staffer tested positive

 

They need(ed) to give stimulus money to everyone not just under certain income brackets, if they want more spending. Maybe cap it at $500,000 annual income or something. It was too low.

 

Not surprised!

 

No No No..."FAKE NEWS".

 

Bloomberg. Heh.

 

Back in the 60’s if the Government or Reagan told people to stay home and were shutting things down because of a pandemic there would have a rovolt by young people big time.
I think we’ve done well following government recommendations during this time.

 

lmao @ people attacking a source instead of disputing it.

...derp.

 

back in the 60's, smoking didn't cause cancer

times change

 

I had two uncles die of lung cancer mid 60's...
I was on Telegraph avenue in summer 68 when riots started over war protest and loitering...I was visiting a relative that lived in Berkley, the movement back then was anti government and young people had to decide where they lined up on a bunch of issues. I was lucky as I had baseball keeping me in check till about 20 years old. Times have indeed changed.

 

Speaking of cup, did you know that a cat has nine lives? It’s been a figure of speech that lasted decades. Of course, really cats don’t have nine lives, but they seem to find ways to be agile enough to spring out of trouble.

 

Only people who've killed their cat 10 times could have come to that conclusion

 

He promised it would be over by Memorial day. That's one week from today.

 

He won't remember Memorial day anyway...or even what he said a few minutes ago

 

I'm up at the VA hospital in Portland, Oregon at least three times a week and I can't get tested. Where are the tests?

 

Remember when the Challenger exploded? Pictures of dead astronauts on front cover of every newspaper and magazine. We learned their names, bios. Family and associates crying on TV. A tragedy.

91,000 dead Americans and counting? Hard to wrap your head around that. No way to put pictures of 91,000 people on cover of Newsweek. It becomes a number.

Something repressive governments have known probably since Rome. Seven dead people is a tragedy, seven million a statistic. We can cry over The Diary of Anne Frank or Ramona; hard to cry over six million dead Jews or countless millions of indigenous people killed by European guns and diseases. When the military dictatorship in El Salvador murdered Archbishop Romero he became a martyr. When the military dictatorship in Chile murdered thousands in the national stadium, they were numbers. Like Armenians. Cambodians. Rwandans.

Like 91,000 dead Americans and counting. Especially if you can otherise them. Not regular people, like Wisconsin supreme Court Justice said. Or Alex Azar saying their unhealthy lifestyles were what killed them. Head of CDC was chosen despite no public health or administrative experience partly for his opposition to birth control and legal abortion but also for his stated view that people with AIDS brought it on themselves. Implicit, sometimes openly stated, in "protests", people with Corona virus are not real Americans. You know, white.

So make up fake Obama scandal, charge Biden with zero evidence of being a pedophile, attack Fauci, investigate Russia investigation. Don't think about 91,000 dead Americans and counting. Just a number.

 

I had more to say but Lucia threw up a hairball under the table that required immediate attention.

 

Who is this aimed at? Because I’m pretty sure politicians on BOTH sides are using this virus as their new toy to play with.

Also, would love to see the clip of protesters claiming non-whites with coronavirus are not real Americans. Would you mind providing a link to that gem?
