RE: Coronavirus - Belsnickel - 03-23-2020 Joe Manchin on the Senate floor to Mitch McConnell, criticizing the GOP bill proposal: "...we're more concerned about the healthcare of Wall Street than the healthcare of the rural people and the people on Main Street."

Between the lack of accountability as well as the lack of protection for workers (the whole point of bailing out businesses is to keep workers going), that bill should not go to the floor. They do need to figure it out, but what has been put on the table isn't going to help the people. The economy doesn't matter if people aren't able to take part in it. RE: Coronavirus - Belsnickel - 03-23-2020 So, we used to have an expert in China whose job it would've been to keep our government in the loop on things over there and could have helped us get a jump start on things. Guess what happened to them. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-china-cdc-exclusiv/exclusive-u-s-axed-cdc-expert-job-in-china-months-before-virus-outbreak-idUSKBN21910S Quote:WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Several months before the coronavirus pandemic began, the Trump administration eliminated a key American public health position in Beijing intended to help detect disease outbreaks in China, Reuters has learned.

We’ll see, some people say Obama, I think so, but we’ll see, we’ll see, and we’ll see it all, forever we’ll see, we’ll see everything, nobody’s ever seen more forever possibly, but we’ll see, maybe. But probably, I think. RE: Coronavirus - Mike M (the other one) - 03-24-2020 And my 2 week mandatory vacation started today. . Gonna be a long 2 weeks....

They are still flooding social media with Trump2020 and the Democrats are blocking bills to help. That graphic should probably be played on TV commercials. This is in the same family of the common cold. Waves of this every year is not sustainable if it is going to have a 1% death rate. We need to eradicate this. Not live with it.

But some folks in Congress only seem to be concerned about business. RE: Coronavirus - michaelsean - 03-24-2020 Well I see Pelosi is being her usual helpful self.

She didnt give the GOP free reign to an anonymous restriction-free bailout to whoever they choose without oversight while leaving the masses to struggle in a failing healthcare system unable to save the lives of the vulnerable and putting its front line heros at risk. B!TCH! don't worry, daddy's going to open everything up and kill all the doctors real soon.

B!TCH! That's how you see it? You are aware there are Senate Democrats negotiating, and it can't go anywhere without them right? I see both sides in the Senate trying to bridge their differences, and her flying in at the 11th hour to muddle everything up.

Maybe you haven't read the part about giving restriction free bailouts to corporate entity's anonymously. You'll catch up. Don't worry. Daddy's death panel is assembling to put together a leaflet mandating who gets to use the ventilator and who's plug gets pulled. hope you enjoy that latte.

But Trump, who had his lawyer create a fake shell company to they could pay $130,00 to a pornstar so she wouldn't talk about another one of Trump's affairs said HE will be the oversight. If we can't trust him who can we trust? RE: Coronavirus - GMDino - 03-24-2020 Not to get too far off topic but there seems to be a need for this. https://www.history.com/news/why-was-it-called-the-spanish-flu Quote:In the spring of 1918, just as the man-made horrors of World War I were finally starting to wind down, Mother Nature unleashed the deadliest strain of influenza in modern history. The virus infected as much as 40 percent of the global population over the next 18 months. Of these, an estimated 20 to 50 million perished—more than the roughly 17 million people killed during the First World War. The pandemic’s grasp stretched from the United States and Europe to the remote reaches of Greenland and the Pacific islands. Its victims included the likes of President Woodrow Wilson, who contracted it while negotiating the Treaty of Versailles in early 1919. Not posting it over in the memes and jokes thread because that's not what that thread is for. Anyone who reads this and continues to use that as their "reason" for calling it the "Chinese Virus" is being willfully ignorant. Not that that would unusual in this world but there it is. |
