President SCROTUS' downplaying, misinformation and lies are going to kill more people in the next few months than the 9/11 terrorists could have dreamed of.
Stop the most serious epidemic, Covfefe-19!

Please stop insulting blowhards.I got one of those President Trump coronavirus cards in the mail too. Briefly looked at it because I knew that I having followed the real news for so long on this that there would be nothing I didn't already know or know better. I found it offensive that something with Trump's name on it would come onto my property. Trump is such a lying Blowhard.

Is it just me, or does that guy look like Lev Parnas?
He looks like a high school assistant football coach, who runs detention in the off season.Is it just me, or does that guy look like Lev Parnas?
why pretend those are two different things?And emotionally based, rather than in the best interest of the species as a whole?
One of our advantages as a species is the old people, with memories and the ability yo pass on information when no longer able to wrestle mammoths or bite the heads off sharks. Lore, skills, tricks, pro-tips passed on by generations.
We evolved by having old people at the fire, so we evolved To Treasure old people at our fire. Which is why we tend to invest resources into our old, and sick. We feel good about the decision because we've been selected for that.
So, if a million get sick, we (by which i mean most humans, not sociopaths) will try to save them, much as we can. With that in mind, protecting them limits the number of resources they will demand in the next months.
And extending their health for now increases the chances of a vaccine, and a cure, further protecting our own resources, so that we won't beggar ourselves.
The only silver lining is that it's a self correcting problem.I read a story on the news a few days ago, wish I could find it, showing statistics that Older (at risk) Republicans who watch FOX are far less likely to believe that C-19 is a threat and are far less likely to modify their activities to protect themselves. The story focused on a Sr Home in Florida with an unusually skewed population, like 2-1 republican, where large gatherings are still taking place, packed dance calls, close contact among large groups of seniors is still the norm.
All because the assholes at FOX and Trump are telling them that all is OK. FOX and Trump should be tried and convicted of second degree murder.
I tend toward Koy's view.

SAN PEDRO, LOS ANGELES -- An engineer deliberately ran a train off the tracks at high speed near the Port of Los Angeles in an attempt to crash into and damage the USNS Mercy hospital ship, prosecutors say.
The Pacific Harbor Line train derailed Tuesday, running through the end of the track and crashing through barriers, finally coming to rest about 250 yards from the docked naval ship.
Federal prosecutors allege train engineer Eduardo Moreno, 44, of San Pedro intended to hit the ship, saying he thought it was "suspicious" and did not believe "the ship is what they say it's for.'"

I tend toward Koy's view. Yeah, us old fucks used to be critical containers of accumulated knowledge and sometimes even wisdom. But now we have writing, computers, spreadsheets and shit to preserve the details of knowledge, and really - how many wise people can we expect the youth to listen to? Veneration is soooo last week!
I don't believe this virus is going to solve the overpopulation problem that presents the opportunity for it to wreak havoc, but something will eventually. Even if it killed half of everyone on the planet, there would still be more people left than existed when I first realized that population growth was going to become a problem.
I’m sorry, but that’s just nonsense.
I don't believe you. I don't think humans, as a species, have the will/self control/whatever to actually curb population growth.I’m sorry, but that’s just nonsense.
I'm sorry, but it's really not.
It's true even if you find it impossible to believe.
Lots of people do find it impossible to believe, because in their early life they were convinced (often with good reason) that it was a huge problem; And people are VERY bad at changing their beliefs for such trivial reasons as there being overwhelming evidence that they are out of date, inaccurate, or just plain wrong.
But it's true nonetheless. Population growth isn't a problem, and within a few decades, won't even be a thing (unless something very radical happens to invert current trends).
Shuttlesworth
Right-wing evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth has no time for “loser” pastors who are canceling services because of the coronavirus, saying they should instead be holding mass gatherings to demonstrate the power of their faith.
I don't HOPE he gets the Virus. I don't wish anyone get the virus. it puts others at risk. But when this guy EITHER contracts CORVID-19, or is caught taking every step CDC advises and photoshopping believers into his services, then i will probably smile. Just a bit. In the corners of my mouth.
He nevrr said it was a choice we're going to make.I don't believe you. I don't think humans, as a species, have the will/self control/whatever to actually curb population growth.
