So did Dr. Birx. And Trump didn’t correct her for taking him literally. What are the context clues that suggests he was speaking allegorically? I’m surprised that a guy who says exactly what he means so rarely, if ever, means what he says.
Quote:Bold 2. I believe in opening fully with no masks or social distancing. A huge percentage of deaths are from the elderly and/or people with underlying health conditions. Very few healthy people with no comorbitities are actually dying from just Covid. That 194,000 number may very well be inflated also, based on how some Covid deaths are reported. A nurse I know told me to my face that they have seen first hand deaths not related to Covid, but where the patient tested positive for Covid and it was marked as a Covid death. We need to keep the at risk part of the population safe while letting the rest of the people get back to normal. This was blown way out of proportion for political reasons. That's my opinion.
Despite steps to contain the pandemic and protect the high risk we have almost 200,000 dead. What do you think will happen when we stop trying to contain it?
I don’t agree with your suggestion, but I’m willing to change my mind if you have data to support current infectious disease controls. Do you?
Quote:Unbolded. I cannot comment as I do not know enough about those situations.
That’s fair.
Quote:Bold 3. Can you please explain?
Is this in relation to asking why do we have monuments to traitors? If you take up arms or conspire with the enemy against the country their shouldn’t be monuments honoring your treason.
Quote:Bold 4. From what I have read and listened to on the Breona Taylor case, it appears that everything was legal and legit. Shots were fired from inside at the cops through the closed door first and they returned fire accidentally hitting Breona. I also believe that it has been proven that she was receiving drug packages at her apartment, but don't quote me on that. So no, no outrage on that one. Whoever shot at the cops and caused them to return fire is who the outrage should be directed at. Ben Shapiro had a really good segment talking about this case.
Kenny Walker, licensed and legal gun owner shot first. He has the legal right to shoot an intruder. The police have a legal right to self-defense. The police claim they announced themselves, but Walker disputes that. There is the chance he is lying. There is also the chance he really didn’t hear them when startled out of sleep at almost 1 am.
But, as of tonight the city of Louisville has reached a settlement with her family and pledged to change police practices.
Quote:George Floyd. Sort of. Two rookie cops I believe and another keeping the crowd back. Chauvin is just a piece of s@!t who should have been fired long ago. Floyd is also a piece of s!@t criminal who should have been in jail. Floyd was involved in drug abuse, theft, criminal trespassing, aggravated robbery as well as entering a woman’s home and pointing a gun at her stomach while looking for drugs and money. So, no, not nearly as much outrage on that one. Also watching the whole video shows the cops were decent at the beginning and that Floyd was acting kinda crazy and was uncooperative, plus a screaming mob of lunatics doesn't help you to think clearly. That's a lot different than two innocent cops doing nothing wrong almost being executed. I would like to know where the outrage is over all the black on black killings is? Chicago strictest gun laws? That is the real danger for the black community. 90% of all black murders are by other blacks. We need to fix that.
Neither of those cases has any proof that race was a motivating factor.
The police had Floyd handcuffed and in the vehicle before they removed from the vehicle and kneeled on his neck until they killed him. Floyd’s criminal history and actions that night didn’t warrant death.
Quote:Bold 4. I get what Trump was trying to do and I am personally ok with it. It just doesn't bother me. I have read up on the steps that they have taken since January and I believe Trump and his admin have done a very good job. This was an unprecedented situation. My opinion. Not looking to argue about it. Again, not a huge Trump supporter. I read what I could find from different sources and believe they did a good job.
If I told you that you had an infection, but down played it so you would think it was less serious than I knew it to be and you subsequently died, I’d be guilty of malpractice. Trump is essentially guilty of malpractice, figuratively, on a national level.
I’m not okay with that and it does bother me.
