Thank god she's contributing to the market economy! Keeping the capitalist wheels turning! amirite people!
Debate all you want.. it comes down to either caring or not giving a shit about your fellow citizens.
If it's not on the Democrats Platform coming out the convention then they will lose..
Medicare for all won't pass today. It's not reality.
It's some veruca salt s***. But I want it now!
The sooner you realize that, the sooner you can help our country take baby steps in the right direction.

No one did. But I think it is fair to say that China and Russia s numbers are not legit.mace1229 said:

Stated another way, let's pretend you have three hypothetical options:CM189191 said:

A ) insure 50% of the population
B ) insure 75% of the population
C ) insure 100% of the population
Also, C is no longer an option.
Which choice is more empathetic, A or B? Because that's all your left with. This should be easy.Post edited by CM189191 on0 -
And I would be shocked if our case numbers aren't 10-20 x under because of the lack of testingmace1229 said:
Yes, after they denied the virus existed for 2 months and threatened doctors with prison for spreading false rumors who were trying to talk about it.Smellyman said:mace1229 said:

I would be shocked if their numbers weren’t at least 2 or 3 times worse, if not 10 or 20

I know. Just seems like every time I question China the response is to assume I support everything Trump does. I fail to see any logic in that, seems pretty asinine to me actually.mcgruff10 said:

Publicly denying yes, which hurt potential response time for other countries, but privately the authoritarian hammer was coming down.

That's an extremely unlikely scenario, though theoretically possible. It's important to understand that an infectious dose of a virus is generally far more than just one viral particle, and in the case of a cough or sneeze being blown by the wind many metres, the density of infectious particles will be so low by the time you are far away that there will not be enough particles to actually cause an infection, even if you were unlucky enough to inhale one of the stray particles. It's far more likely that they will simply drop to the ground before they ever got that far.bbiggs said:This is a frightening article. We know it’s an airborne disease, but the way it’s described here leads me to believe that someone can become infected while walking the dog or going for a run, for example, even in a non-crowded environment. If the wind is carrying someone’s cough or sneeze from 20, 50, 100 feet away, and you happen to be in its path, it sounds like you can get it. So, unless you wear a mask outdoors, keeping a “safe” distance from anyone else who passes by may not be enough. Wonderful.
Keep in mind that several studies have been done so far that have not even been able to detect SARS-CoV-2 in the air in the rooms of patients with active covid-19 disease, and that's in a small, contained space without much air flow. It's estimated that when an infected person lives in a residence with non-infected people there is only about a 10% chance of spread of the infection to the household members, suggesting very limited chance of transmission through the air.
Nothing in life is zero risk, but going out for a walk, run or cycle is likely better for your health than staying cooped up at home.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
Trumps not the only lot world leader that fucked up. The Canadian PM failed us and was slow to react. Plus back in February he gave China 16 tons of PPE....and the Chinese government has taken 2 Canadians as hostages because that huawii bitch was arrested in Canada...Fuck China.

So, what you're saying is Canada behaved in a humanitarian way. I'm okay with that.

The Canadian PM tried to exploit the pandemic by giving his government thr power to raise taxes, lower taxes (hahaha) and spend without parliaments approval...lol. He’s no better than retailers that gouge customers in a crisis.Give Peas A Chance…0
