    Default The partisan divide on COVID

    Shows how stupid the partisan divide is.

    Not that we shouldn't all have our principles & disagree. But when something like "wear a mask during a pandemic" becomes a huge partisan issue, we have problems. We can't set aside ANYTHING to defeat a virus.

    And man, can we never admit we were wrong.

    This is gonna be a tough lesson for the planet. And people should check the latest on immunity - it might only last a month or 2. The whole "herd immunity" thing may be fantasy.

    For all of the billions of years of evolution, we're still pretty dopey.

    That ain't no partisan test.

    Trump has been an unmitigated disaster. He gets minor marks for somewhat restricting travel at the very beginning, and for listening to the medical community for about 2 weeks in March.

    He has otherwise been as terrible a leader as one could imagine, and made America one of the worst nations in the world in responding to COVID.

    Getting in the way of mother nature is pointless, its like wearing sunglasses and long sleeves to protect yourself from a nuclear blast. Mother nature is going to run her course regardless of what either side of the partisan divide thinks or does. Herd immunity is coming soon.

    How does herd immunity work if immunity lasts for just a few months at most?

    Watch and see. The coronavirus has been around since the 1960s, so nothing new here.

    If an asteroid the size of Hawaii was on course to hit earth Republicans would deny it if Trump told them to.
    Perhaps they would wear masks?

    It's important for America that Trump doesn't win.

    That's a totally non-partisan view. The man is not fit to lead. He's terrible for this country & our values.

    I’m half persuaded this country is un-leadable.

    And I wish it was Trump’s fault. That would be an easy fix.

    The 1st part actually isn't a terrible point. Maybe it is.

    But there are transformation leaders in history. Somone could figure it out. Probably not this election.
