Good news for America = bad news for leftists

[AProudLefty]

There is no requirement that one needs to be a "rational person" to vote.

See you can be rational sometimes.

I agree. But a few things are clear at this point: this is one of the most easily spread contagions we've seen in many years, and a very quick decision had to be made on containment.

Everything sort of started when the NBA shut down. Had they taken another few weeks from that point to evaluate & try to figure out a better way, can you imagine how much this would have spread? With the masses still going to work, schools, parks & other gatherings? The numbers would probably be through the roof today. I don't think that's disputable.

The ideal would be if this just had to go for a few more weeks, and we could start to stagger people back to work - by region, by demographic, etc. The economy could still roar back. I don't think it can sustain a 6 month period like this, or something along those lines.

But they actions they took at the time were the correct ones, imo.

We should have been more judicious about "staggering" which places were shut down by region, by demographic etc. A national lockdown would make zero sense here considering the major differences in population density throughout America. Shelter in place orders being given in North Dakota because of conditions in NYC would make no sense. The states need to be making their own decisions.

Occasionally.

Good for you. The nation will be a ruin in four years anyway but at least it will be Trumps ruin instead of Bidens. I envy your passion, it will keep you going on some level until the crushing realization sets in that he's let you down just like every politician before or sense and that your entire self into nothing.

Trump is not sacrificing himself to preserve your identity, you are sacrificing your identity to preserve Trump. I honestly don't care at this point. The drama that is playing out is set in its course, there's no stopping it, you are one of the players and there's nothing either of us can do to stop the will of God from being brought to fruition.

I revel in your capitulation

Good luck with Gropin Joe. Can’t wait for the first debate. Don’t worry I know you will declare Joe the Pedo Biden the winner.

You're a despicable human being to celebrate that.

Fuck you, illiterate cunt. I’m giving you reality, not celebration.

Ignorant bitch

[RB 60]

Ignorant.
Covid-19 is just a weeks ahead in NY.

Where many Southern states have now Covid-19 that resembles the number NY dud a few weeks ago.

This means you idiots are next.

Good luck.

I saw 2 NY tags while driving into town to the pharmacy yesterday. We wouldn't be next if you'd keep your disease at home.

[Boris The Animal]

Your state is a shit show
the rest of the country should ban all travel from NY until September and get in with thier lives

Hey, I live in the good part of the state. Please don't lump us in with the NYC scumbags, thank you from a Buffalonian.

You are right. I forget that most of NY state are good upstanding people who despise NYC as much as the rest of us

My sincerest apologies

The solution is simple. Erect 30 foot tempoaray wall around all of Manhattan and its boroughs

Block all traffic and and out

[cancel2 2022]

You're a despicable human being to celebrate that.

Dumbcunt69 has always been like that, it's his default setting.

[TexanManWithPlans]

Made very little difference. Look at New York. But fuck term. Build a wall around them and let the rest of us get on with our lives. Nobody cares about New York

Disgusting. Now wonder you support Trump.

[Earl]

Everything that is bad originates in Democrat cites like N.Y.C, L.A, Chicago.

Given what they have been telling us, I agree.

Problem is, what they have been telling us has been based on models that were apparently based on faulty assumptions. Modeling large scale phenomena like climate change and global pandemics is susceptible to the ‘garbage in-garbage out’ phenomena.

IOW, they are no better than the data and/or assumptions that go into them.

In this instance, they have no idea how many people *have had* COVID. That’s a critical value because that will tell you how close we are to herd immunity—or far away from herd immunity. It would be nice if they didn’t have to guess at it. Highly contagious viruses with low mortality rates are susceptible to herd immunity almost by definition. It would be nice to know if COVID will have a statistically significant lower number of potential victims—if there is a Round Two.

The *have had* value would also give us an accurate mortality rate instead of relying on numbers that are susceptible to selection bias.

These models *at least appear* that they were based on the assumption that every region will ‘go the way of Italy’ in their own time. That assumption flies in the face of the fact that the big COVID numbers correlate with several factors that are simply absent in huge swathes of the country.

Yesterday Cuomo said the COVID numbers ‘were flat’ in the state of New York outside of NYC. Well, given that big COVID numbers correlate with high population density why should that surprise him or anybody else that has been paying attention to this?

If it surprises Fauci maybe Trump should consider firing him by this time next week.

NOLA has Per capita more Covid-19 than any other City.

The worst NYC has to offer comes from the Southern states in the Great Migration.

I don't hate NYC.

It's the center of finance & culture.

I do much prefer to live where I live, however about 90 minutes North of Grand Central Station.

PS.
Its about race & religion New York.

Staten Island in NYC voted Trump.

Because its mostly White Christian heteros.
Italians largely.

That's what you guys get wrong down South.

You assume NYC is filled with White Liberal Catholics & Italians like Cuomo & DeBlasio.

Not really true.

The White group that's beloved by many Neocon & Fundie Southerners AKA the Chosen are about the only vividly Leftist White group here.

[Legion]

And yet the liberals on here can't stop talking about two imbeciles who purposely ingested fish tank cleaner.

They must not know that the survivor of that pair is a DEMOCRAT donor.
