Nah.


You're right, it's genetically driven racial inferiority.

Trump declares churches, mosques, and synagogues essential services. Flies to honey. This will go over extremely well.

He has had religious thinking about Covid 19 from the beginning.

"One day it will vanish and things will all be great ". He is saying stuff like that instead of supporting states.

McConnell came out of this pretty bad. The part where he told his state to go bankrupt didn't go over well. We will see if people in KY vote this bum out. They love their governor and McConnell keeps undermining him. It was great when he stood up to the senior senator and challenged his bad behavior. McConnell might not win reelection.

I hope the churches do what they need to keep safe. A lot of children and elderly and i hope they don't fail to protect them. People are doing a really poor job protecting their families with all this.

For a lot of people, religion takes a role similar to mental health professionals. It can be very important for peoples' well-being, and emotional/mental stability, to engage in those type of community activities and have that type of community support.

That being said, probably going to be a bloodbath among the elderly population. The functional difference here is that therapy can be done in a setting with limited participants (even group therapy can be done in small groups with adequate distance/PPE), while church cannot reasonably have that same mandate.

This might become wave 1.5.

Did not realize you need to visit a communal space to practice...some places have televised or streamed their services through youtube or have turned to apps to provide that support.

It is sad that Trump is portraying normalcy and that everyday people will pay the price for it.

Trump is one issue, Mcconnell is the bane of everything. How this man has been in politics for the last 30 years astounds me. How has he not been beaten for the crap he has done? Denying Obama a 2nd SCOTUS pick should have landed him in prison.

Well he is untrustworthy for sure. He has played by a dirty playbook for awhile and now all that stuff is fair game.

It is the GOP senate's fault Trump was impeached. If the House could have trusted it to act in good faith they could have disciplined the president in other ways for his high crimes and misdemeanors. But the Senate keeps acting in bad faith the House had other choice to be heard. That is sad!

Mental health professions are using telehealth and even inpatient are social distancing and wearing a ton of PPE even around one another.

Im pessimistic but usually am.

Dems are so bad at politics. They have an executive branch completely ignoring the house which they control, yet, they give trump and senate repubs everything they want. They need to close the purse strings and see who squirms. I get they want to maintain for the people, but, no bill for the people has passed the senate or is likely to be signed by trump.

It's almost like blacks live in disproportionately poorer areas and thus have less access to medical help. Or that they distrust institutions based on an extensive history of systemic racism, and as such avoid hospitals.


Poverty surely plays a role, but another reasons blacks are so disproportionately affected is that a much higher share of blacks lives in dense urban areas. And obesity and poor health is more common among blacks (which is of course indirectly influenced by poverty). And they more often work in lowly service jobs where teleworkign isnt possible and they have to keep exposing themselves to do their job.

Lol, if you seriously think a nationally known figure who has the support of the Kochs and all other Republican megadonors will lose reelection in his R+15 state, you're delusional. If necessary, they'd dump $200m on his campaign.

Roflmao!
Yeah, right, if the GOP senate was as Trump critical as the Dems, then the House wouldnt have needed to impeach him. It's the Senate GOP's fault!!!11 :rofl:

https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/father-of-20-year-old-patient-who-beat-elderly-man-at-detroit-nursing-home-says-son-shouldnt-have-been-there

so what makes this story so extra disturbing isn't just the helpless old man being beaten in a hate crime, its the circumstances that led to it
the state has been discharging covid-infected people from hospitals to go to nursing homes rather than return to other care facilities- even people like this guy who are mentally disturbed and violent young people. Not only have they been sending infected elderly patients back to their own care homes and forcing the facilities to take them back and thereby spreading the infection where its most deadly, but they've been sending dangerous mental patients to those homes.

imagine being an 80 year old pensioner living in a nursing home and the government says its going to intentionally send coronavirus infected 20 year old violent psychopaths to your room to come beat you to a pulp


I'm sure this is also somehow Trump's fault, because he... uh... said something mean about Michigan's governor?! :unsure:
