And what will be more frustrating is how some will interpret areas with lower numbers of deaths and infected than projected. It won't be interpreted as prevention strategies are working, i.e., good social hygiene, use of masks/face shields, appropriate physical distancing, adherence to no large social gatherings, stay home when you can, large # of accurate tests completed, tracking strategies in place to monitor hot spots etc). No, it will be interpreted as I told you so, deep state, hoax, where my guns be, lets roll.

That's Prince Jared Kushner to you.

God I miss contact sports.

Even after a good post from SDN, you just can’t help yourself. I hope all is okay in your world.

You and I have a very different take on how to decipher opinion versus fact and what discussion boards like this are all about. Regardless of who you are and what you believe it’s pretty arrogant to suggest everything you post is fact with no personal opinion attached whatsoever.

No that’s not what I was talking about. It was the part where you were sharing your opinion on TOP.

Based on the majority of what you just wrote here I thought you said you’re not here to share your personal opinions and what is inside your head?

Wow.

Not to mention how certain human beings will interpret this staged relaunch as oh back to whatever I want to do with others and back to my crappy social hygiene practices.

Thank you for stating your position but you still couldn’t do it without throwing in something at the end about someone else. It’s a difficult thing to do to state what you are for and easy only to state what you are against. Hey we are all guilty of it at times but some do it more than others. It’s like watching politicians of all stripes talk about how bad each other are but never focus on specifically what they would or are doing and what they stand for. If we look at the states, imo Elizabeth Warren is really good on focusing on her positions. Whether I like them or not I highly respect that.

I don’t want to read what you’re against, I’d like to read for once in your posts what you’re for. Where do you stand with Trump and what he does. Not what others do and what you are against.

Yup, act like you have it not like to don’t want to get it and safe distancing becomes easier to do. Mindset change.

Excerpt from the above piece: Another former West Wing official told me: "Trump is like an 11-year-old boy waiting for the fairy godmother to bring him a magic pill."

I came across a piece from Ed Yong, a staff writer from the Atlantic who covers science and did a piece on this gross plague. The piece is called: Why the Coronavirus is so confusing: A guide to making sense of a problem that is now too big for any one person to fully comprehend. It's a fairly long read but it does read and feel, at least to me, quite objective in a matter of fact way not a all is great or all is bad type tone. Sorry my lack of IT ability couldn't insert the link. Anyone interested I'm sure can just do a google search or insert the link for me with with my thank you in-advance.

I’m covered in Jesus’ blood!”-Unnamed churchgoer in Ohio Don't worry he's covered.

I’ve been saying that a lot since this thing took hold. Most of us get we need to stay informed, be aware, understand the complexities and adjust our behaviour accordingly but opinion pieces that serve up constant debbies with their click bait doom and gloom headlines (often created by someone else other than the author) serve no useful purpose imo. Most of us get this is serious but writing and entitling a piece with anxiety laden text doesn’t help us. Sometimes it’s not what you are saying or writing, it’s how you are saying or writing it that’s important.

I’m looking equally forward to having Prince Jared and Princess Ivanka thrown out of the castle and into the moat. Is that bad of me?

WTF OMG FFS

She hid her bags of money quite well in this video.

Really? With his track record with what comes out of his mouth, you wouldn’t have believed it without audio video? At this stage most just shrug their shoulders when they hear a report of his latest lunacies.

As I've said before, the most infuriating thing to me with this guy are the intelligent people who remain undecided on whether they would support him or not. Not the zealots, not the "I'd vote for him no matter what' type people, it's the the intelligent ones that have shone they critically think. That's beyond mindboggling and maybe I've overestimated them somehow, maybe he is truly showing some peoples real colours we have never seen before. This has NOTHING to do with differing political ideologies, differing policy positions, stances on socialism versus capitalism, health and crime issues etc. I wouldn't want him coaching my sons football team, not because he may see sfootball differently than some others, it's because I would fear for my son's and his teammates safety and wellbeing along with the other teams and their fans, along with all the referees , all the football officials, media, anyone who comes in constant contact with him. I work in the area of leadership and team development, I don't pretend to know everything and I'm always learning more about human beings and how they operate and thus far everything I've come to learn and experience shows that if you do everything opposite of what he does, all will be good.

This is suffocating to watch.

That infuriates me.

Or post them in a thread entitled 'Fiction'.
