If you're suggesting that I was making a political post, you're incorrect. I made no mention of political philosophy. I didn't even mention any news outlet by name - that you know what outlet I'm referring to says as much about that outlet as anything. The president, as recently as the middle of last week, was not taking the spread of this virus seriously - this is not a political opinion, it's a factual statement. So much for walking back. Quote Now that he is, I really do not feel like parsing this. How about you tell me why the whole raft of measures taken prior to then at the initiative of the executive branch was somehow un-serious, but now it is? Quote all media outlets are generally on the same page now in terms of promoting good prevention policies (e.g., social distancing) Do not even go there. I lost count of how many politicians and news anchors have gone on air, grouped in shoulder-to-shoulder solidarity to lecture us on the importance of social distancing... while grouped shoulder-to-shoulder. The memes make themselves... Quote The older demographic needs this information as much as anyone, and it's good that the outlet that they watch is now promoting that information - how is that incorrect? Let me know if you really cannot see why that is incorrect. (As if all old people only watch one channel... ) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone flipped out in a post saying their person might drop out by then, can’t vote for them blah blah... Hell welcome to PA and states that have late primaries. We have had names on ballots that have dropped out and only one person still running. Best response was hold later and ramp up absentee ballots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have any symptoms, should they use a test kit? Many places doing similar screenings at least take your temp. One would think at a health care facility, they would take your temp instead of relying on any answer I might give them. Like when asked about being out of the state with no follow up question. That probably should have gone "Have you been out of NH within the last two weeks"? "Yes", . "Oh where were you" ? ""Santa Clara county"? "Please step over here, we have a couple more questions, a mask and a temp scan". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the SM posts prove there are a lot of stupid people in Ohio as saying their right to vote has been taken away. Ahh... it’s been postponed not cancelled dummies Yes, about half of the state are complete idiots. I'll leave it to others here to decide which half I fall into. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
