This is East Oakland, looks like they are taking the virus seriously.
Really stupid if that is an actual video. Remember people are saying that there is a lot of false videos out there.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has tested positive. His co-worker Don Lemon wants CNN to not air the Presidents daily briefings on the virus. To me, that's sounds like what Communist would do.
Yeah, because white guys wanting to keep their slaves and enforcing a travel ban on China due to a pandemic are the same thing right.
But wait, a travel ban was placed on Europe too...never mind.
I understand politics are going to be a part of this discussion, but this conversation is drifting beyond how politics are related to the virus. Let's stay on topic.
Rob is it really politics when our President many times is stating bald faced lies about our pandemic situation right on live TV and just minutes later he is corrected and the facts are put out by the medical experts? I think this is a major part of the story in the US. I think that what I just posted about the Repub Gov of Maryland saying Trump lied late yesterday and today about there being plenty of tests for everyone shows that this aspect of the situation, leadership and its consequences, is coming from all sides of our citizenry. Lying for whatever reason that can be tied to people dying/suffering is really bad. Maybe the only reason or time to lie or not let people know some truth is when the huge asteroid is just about here and only a few people know about it.

Now you're probably getting too political. I'll just say someone doing something that lines up with what you believe and someone doing nothing are two separate things.But you don't have to assume. We can check. What was he saying to the public?
Did he coordinate the acquisition of PPE at the federal level or did he tell the states to do it themselves?
And what did he do to the the CDC over the last 3-4 years. Proposing massive budget cuts? Eliminated the pandemic response team.

Hey, I noticed the difference when it started to get too political. Turns out I do understand the difference after all. I'm glad you see the difference too and allow this thread to keep going as long as it doesn't cross that line. Thanks Rob.I understand politics are going to be a part of this discussion, but this conversation is drifting beyond how politics are related to the virus. Let's stay on topic.

I agree, it is a fine line. Hopefully Rob continues to stay a little lenient because of that, as long as it doesn't blatantly cross the line.It's tough. The government is a big part of any pandemic response. To not talk about them, or the leaders who are elected to office. Well, is that the line?
I guess we can just post casualty numbers for the next 6 months.

don't shut the thread down, shut down the idiots who have no self controlYes that's political. That post is the most political post in this 59 page thread. We all know your opinion on the president now. Please stop so the thread doesn't get shut down.

Most of you guys have been around here long enough to realize how relaxed the rules have become the last few weeks. I'm just asking that we keep the discussion on the virus. Yes, it can be a blurry line. But I think you guys are intelligent enough to understand what I'm talking about.

The president has lied and the mainstream media has lied about things the president has supposedly said to make him look as bad as possible. It's a push and let's hope both do better.
I think this thread occupied a lot of time on the debate of if the virus scare was real.
It seems we are getting past that.
While problems within our government are becoming easier to point out, now that people are accepting the pandemic as real. But that is very political.
