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

Im shocked the big god man in the sky didn’t send a magic spell down ridding the earth of this pandemic

 

It seems to me that you are projecting your biases about Christianity onto people about whom you know nothing. I think it was not a smart choice to continue to meet in person at this time, but their reasons for doing so are their own; just as people downtown protesting are making their own choices to ignore the Governor’s orders because they feel it’s important to them.

 

Texas has had five consecutive days of record Corona virus cases. Some cities wanted to put in place mitigation efforts, like requiring masks and social distancing. The governor said he will block any such efforts.

Montgomery, Alabama hospitals are full. The city council today voted down mask requirements mostly along racial lines.

Trump issued executive order to open meat packing plants despite the fact they have been huge virus concentrations, so we can have enough meat. The industry just reported record meat export to China in April and May.

University of Washington model now forecasts 200,000 dead Americans by October 1.

Pence wrote an op-ed calling Corona virus "cause for celebration" thanks to Trump's leadership.

Keep America great.

great...it's "important" to them, and they are paying the price, just like the protestors might. Unfortunately, it won't be just the people who attended that church who will suffer the consequences of their irresponsible behavior. They will infect many other people in the community and some of those will get severely sick, and some of those may die.

so no, I am not going to stop judging those people as stupid and irresponsible...because that's what they were

 

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar just lost her father to COVID-19. They arrived in this country as refugees with little more than bare hands and hope for a better life, the only survivors in their family. After landing at Washington National airport they moved to Minnesota. Worked and studied. In January 2019 they returned to Washington National airport again for her swearing in as a member of the United States Congress.

Immigrants make America great.

 

You must have gotten a Marine haircut.
When I went in the Army they took as to the Fort barber for recruits. They shaved our heads so close that the barber's hand was shaking as he bore down on our heads with all of his strength. Guys with long hair got tease unmercifully by cutting the hair in goofy ways such as the mop headed Mohawk which was a Mohawk with hair so long that it was floppy. They hurt the hell out of my head.
One guy in my platoon was in an accident where they had to place a steel plate in his skull. He didn't need one of those virtually bald haircuts. The guy would pass out in formation from the heat in the Summer and his surgically repaired skull. Didn't keep him out of the infantry and getting stationed in combat you know where.

 

Navy boot camp wasn’t much different back then....at least as far as the haircuts go. They made it a very painful and humiliating experience (because in 1972 everybody had long hair). A couple of guys thought they were being proactive by getting crewcuts prior to leaving for basic. Bad move. The barbers literally felt cheated and really put it to those guys (And the Company Commander rode them extra hard for the first couple of weeks for “destruction of government property”). I had a huge ‘fro and asked the barber to leave it a little longer (on the advice of a recruit who was half way through boot camp. Silly me). That guy verbally tore me a new asshole, ranting about how I must hate my parents, the USA and God. Then he spun the chair around and ground out a skull deep swath through the middle of my ‘fro, then stood back and asked me how I liked THAT (“you little asshole”). Wisely, I kept my mouth shut and let him finish. In the end, the only real downside was that I ended up having sun burned ears for the first time in years....funny how obsessed we can be about our hair.....

Word is Trump will play a round of 18 after his rally in Tulsa.

 

Berkeley Bowl market had sour cherries, the kind used to make pie. Hard to find and very short season. Most times when I see them in the store I get a big bagful and the next place I happen to go to gets a fresh baked cherry pie. Might make a second and stick in deep freeze for later, even though pitting all those damn cherries is a drag.

Then realized, I'm not going anywhere.

Can't quite see going around the neighborhood leaving slices of cherry pie on everyone's porch.

 

Those are our only options???

Sigh....

 

Makes me so happy they all got sick. Doesn’t make me happy that they’ll get other people sick though.

 

Wow
