    So what's the big conspiracy theory with Dr. Fauci? I heard on the news he was receiving death threats!? What bunch of knuckleheads cooked this garbage up?

    Did they say why? Listen he was at the forefront of saying DO NOT WEAR MASKS. Now his saying that made sense because they knew there was is a shortage and that the front line needed them way more than you or I. People with even OK reasoning knew the public in general should probably be wearing them and did. The ones that always rely on " professionals " to protect them, now feel betrayed, thus having such a reaction to occurr, human nature.

    So has anything come out on deaths that may have occurred in these Chinese reeducation camps?
    I'll admit I know little of these or actually much of anything they do WITHIN their borders. It's the things they do out side of them that concerns me. I'm curious on that though.

    @Germ I know you boast that you are the ultimate antilemming but if you actually think you don't lean left then you actually are a stupid man. I know we don't agree politically but this would be the first time I actually think you are ignorant. I'm a libertarian but I know I lean Right. We all have different color glasses so own your view.

    I wasn’t able to open that article but I’m familiar with what they did. While interesting I think it highlights the vast differences in our cultures. Having experience dealing with MERS certainly helped prepare everyone from individuals, to having the infrastructure in place to deal with it quickly.
    I suspect we will be more prepared next time as a result of this experience too.

    i stepped away for lunch and a couple of chores. I thought I'd see someone else mention his other Elephant in the room. I hammer this a lot but...

    He took the lead in a major down play of using the malaria protocol. What did that do ? It had Dr gov. A$$ hats banning the use. Oh wait they weren't Dr.'s . Credit due, a few have reversed that blunder, has Cuomo? So ya human nature especially if people with family died, having never gotten the treatment...human nature

    I need some deck boards so I can make another pallet for my fire wood. Seems I overshot the mark of 4 cords. Got closer to 6.5.

    I know they need these things masks and gowns, but watching Cuomo calling for companies in NYS to make them....We had Champion and many other clothing people in This state. In fact I worked in one champion factory as a silk screen printer for jerseys. He taxed and regulated them the out of the state.
    Now Now he has the National guard removing upstate ventilators and protective gear from our hospital's. BTW we have a CV case on the next road over same mail route as ours. So it's to bad for you dumb ass tax payers upstate.

    I wasn't but will say this now.. Wonder how much calculating he's been doing for the outrageous death and inheritance taxes he's seeing with each of this highest income per capita in the state souls passing down there.

    Whole food has the shields and you must load your items at the back, then walk to the middle section, and then to the end to get your items. They then wipe down the entire area.

    Another interesting graph stated they used phone data. That's a bit scary

    Seen an article that Wal Mart will start limiting cutsomers in store tomorrow. 5 customers per 1,000 square feet, which would equate to 20% of normal customer load.

    So Pelosi is already trying to extend the $600 weekly unemployment boost at least 2 months. I called that a week ago, soon we'll here 12 months total and Bernie/AOC will push for making it permanent.

    The Investigation committee is already being put together by Pelosi.

    Never let a good crisis go to waste.

    This is exactly why you have such a political divide amongst us.

    dnoodle,
    I have been in this state over 60 years seen it all and this guy is the worst. I can not stand by while non NYers watch him thinking Ohh what a great job! Look how calm he is. Let me tell you the worst of the worst serial killers across the world were all very calm people, men and woman alike. It is why they, in many cases hid it from family and acquaintances. I'm not calling him a serial killer just pointing out a calculating mind set.
    Here's the absolute truth to him. This is referred to as the ' Empire State', have no delusion he doesn't think of himself as the " Emperor ".

    Sorry I don't look at the world as right and left. If you want to label yourself to a group go-ahead, I just look at it as what I believe is right or wrong. If you want to say some of my views are more left with your narrow view of the world that's fine with me.

    I realize you may have a delicate ego, so if you have been offended I apologize.

    Have a great day.

    So now the big talk going on is testing for the antibodies to find those who got it and were asymptomatic or had mild cases and have recovered. They are saying that finding those people would allow them to be released back into the workplace as they would be immune.

    This is totally going against everything they had been stating about no one is immune and even those that had it can get it again.

    Every day that passes, as the numbers are artificially inflated, as the congressional and government Democrats continue to push political agendas and narratives through the height of this pandemic, I grow more skeptical of being told the truth.

    The funny thing in this, if there is one, is come November the American voter is going to have to make the choice on who is better to lead the country in economic recovery.

    Trump or Biden

    You don’t think the republicans are pushing their agendas every day? You think the republicans are 100% telling the truth?
