Post #1731... this is what the Dems tried to attach to the stimulus package. NONE are relevant or would aid the halt of this pandemic.


This is where the Dems heads are at. ANY thing they agree to now...will be in aid of this list above.


We covered that pages ago and the situation has changed considerably.

Not sure if this has been posted to the thread already, but this link is worth your time (and a good deal of it) if you haven't, especially for the Ghots of the world:

You should share it via social media as well.

Which is what I mean when I say that the "oversight" they want, should be seriously looked into. Any oversight for large company bailout should be spelled out EXACTLY.
If it's left open ended...the Dems will abuse it.

The very first thing posted at that link. :/

I'll just assume your off kilter posting is due to quarantine difficulties. :/

Still hardly any tests, and according to the site, some states are not reporting negatives anymore.

Updates at 4 pm every day.

Looks to me like a kid in a statistics class, that happens to be quarantined, and has nothing better to do than spout BS.

Already read this article days ago, and it's a good read. And while I think that the things he's saying are convincing, it must be mentioned that his arguments hinge on certain assumptions, like the availability of sufficiently widespread testing. This might be workable in industrialized countries, but what about places like India, Indonesia or Africa?

But yeah, he's essentially describing the approach that most of the world has settled on: hammer down the virus with several weeks of shutdown, then carefully and gradually open things up under a strict testing and quarantining regime. What's worrying me is that the shutdowns in Italy and Spain now date back more than 14 days and still dont show much of an effect.

The difference is that even with the 14 days extra time, countries like Italy can't "quickly" turn out the medical hardware they need. Due to the demand elsewhere in the world it can't easily be purchased either.

A country like the US for example, CAN make use of that 2 week delay to literally create the medical hardware they need.
