BREAKING: Newly elected Louisiana GOP Rep. Luke Letlow, 41, dies of coronavirus

Hello Bull&Terrier,



The same article says: "Passed away due to complications from COVID-19."

It also says he routinely disregarded social distancing and mask-wearing, and pushed for 'opening up the economy.'

He said Louisiana would be "in real danger" if the COVID precautions were continued.

The hospital said he: "suffered a heart attack while undergoing treatment to fight the virus."

That implies he never would have had the heart attack if he never had to be treated for COVID-19.

Corona got him. There's no denying it.

It's almost always complications from fighting the disease that causes the deaths, but they are still COVID deaths.




There is little I dispute here, my point is though they claim he had no underlying conditions, but as far as I can tell this is thr first case of a healthy person having a heart attack while being treated for corona, to me indicating it was an unduagnosed underlying condition.


Not “no underlying conditions” as stated. A small but to me important distinction.
 
If Letlow was not a Republican, he would not have gotten Covid-19, and would not have died. So I guess he died from being a Republican.




Nj is at a 15% infection rate and has one of the highest death rates in the nation. Were they all republicans who died in this very democrat state?

Apparently, he died from being a Republican....this is the mentality you're trying to reason with....
 
You tell it your way, and I'll tell it my way!

I'm no saint dude, so I don't try to act like one!

If this were a children's forum or place where only reverent people frequented, I'd show a little more restraint!

But it isn't- as this place is filled with some of the worst examples of human beings on the planet!

So you may want to put me on ignore, if you feel I am being irreverent to anyone!



To be fair I’m a counter puncher, but i love good intelligent insults that are witty and banterous, that can be fun. Its the “idiot and moron” that becomes droll at best especially when the ones calling you said names are hopelessly and verifiably factually wrong.



I could do less with the bigots and thier homophobic attacks as well as attacks on my wife and family, but im a big boy so meh. I chalk it up to insecurity.



Great to meet ya!

Apparently, he believes it....Covid is the president's "fault", according to him....

I always find that curious, especially when I ask if they hold murphy and cuomo responsible for any deaths given they ordered unprepared and understaffed nursing homes where the most vunurable among us live to take covid patients.


Not a single one can answer that question.



Most of out deaths are from this

NJ is densely populated and early hit. It has reduced its death and infection rates. Right now the states with the highest rates are North Dakota and South Dakota. They are getting ready to surpass NJ in death rates, even though treatment has gotten better.

Would you consider North Dakota and South Dakota to be densely populated states?

It really does not matter. Letlow is who we are talking about. Letlow was pressured into going to Republican parties where social distancing and masks were not used. His wife refused to join him, but got it from him. He got it at one of those parties. There was one party in particular that was the "super duper spreader", and almost certainly the one that he got it at.

It was a huge mistake, one Cuomo was quite sorry for making. It’s been a learning process, at least he apologized and the situation was corrected.

Now do Trump...

Nj infection rate is at 15% highest its ever been. You really should stop making shit up.
 
Hello crowonapost,

All are good points. The problem with political forums like this and most is that it almost always devolves to pig slop.
There is no discourse anymore just team divide. It is a sad state of our countries pollical system and everything associated with it, you are pigeoned holed into either Team Red or Team Blue.
That literally creates a dynamic in which intelligent discourse is subsumed to broad brushed bullshit.

And it is by design. The problem on these old political forums is that the only thing that leads is pig slop, day to day.

I wish we had more nuance, I do. So far the communal political interaction today is continually devolving towards extremism for no reason other than I got the best mud hole, intellectually.

This IS America and it's a damned shame.

I think these trends tend to come and go. We can get to a more respectful place. It's all up to the individuals. The only way that is going to happen for more people is for mature people to demonstrate what respect looks like. When the shallow blurters get burned out on insult contests they will see the value of respect.

Of course, it's never going to turn into a place of complete manners. The very nature of JPP is to let people do what they feel like doing because it requires minimal moderation and it generates lots of clicks.

So it ultimately falls on each participant to make it what they want it to be. For me, it is fabulous. I simply block all those who show me disrespect. My experience here is completely different from one who brings it on and relishes the nasty fight. I hold out for discussions of substance. I use filters to block out all else. Sure, I do a lot of scrolling past the garbage, but that goes quick. Easy chore. Worth it, in my view. I don't spend all day here, so for the small amount of time I devote to it, I want the highest caliber of discussion. That totally works for me.

The ones who post all day make this place their life. I don't think there is enough quality discussion to provide that much volume to go all day. That almost forces those participants to deal with the slop. To each, his own.

Trumps feckless response was feckless and abhorrent. Whataboutism wont work here


Can you link me to cuomo’s mea culpa? He spent most of his time denying it was his fault even though his signature was on the eoZ

I do not have a link, it was in an interview I saw. Early on in this pandemic mistakes were made. It’s a learning process, everyone learned but Trump and the Trumpublicans. Look at those on this forum who still refuse to wear a mask. COVDIOTS.
 
Hello Bull&Terrier,

What did he die of tho, that is the question.

Well we know that is the question you want to emphasize. But I think the distinction is a moot point. It is the pandemic which is leading to all these deaths. Technically, the virus itself doesn't kill them all but they are dead just the same. If Americans had done a better job of coordinating our response then fewer Americans would have died. From whatever actual cause.

There is rather common lingo for becoming mired in the details and unable to visualize the larger picture, right? Something about not being able to see the forest for the trees?

He said “mistakes were made” but bever took responsibility for killing all those nursinf home patients by his criminally negligent edict to send the covid sick to the most vulnerable.


He never apologized or took direct responsibility, niether did the 4 other democrat governors like murphy who did the same thing.



You claim “lesson learned” but was it really confusing as to whether it was a good or bad idea to send covid patients to nursing homes?

Seems a no brainer to me.

Same here. Can't dispute your point. I can only observe that it is speculative. Everyone is certainly allowed their own impression. It's only natural to try to fill in details which are not given. It is what humans do to try to make sense of an incomplete picture.

I cannot think of one single time in his failed presidential term Trump sincerely apologized or even displayed the slightest remorse and introspection
