    Of course your not, some where along the line the notion was born that a comparison somehow implied that the two variables where equivalent or must be nearly so to draw any meaningful conclusions. It depends on the questions being asked and the metrics being used.

    Forgot to mention this on Friday. Went to the liquor store for my weekly beer... A guy was walking around the store with a full snowmobile helmet on. Visor closed and all.

    Crazy crazy times.

    Yes, it will and can I give heart disease to another person and get them killed or sick? I do love reading how folks try and justify what is happening.

    If I have heart disease and don't take precautions and die, first my wife stated she's buying two Cameros, second it's all on me. I made the choice and I suffer the consequences. Now if I go out and get COVID and then head out the grocery store and get a bunch of people sick and someone dies, is that on them? If they don't have health insurance and just need an ICU bed they could ruin themselves financially.

    One thing I have learned threw this is at least 50% of this country regardless of "leaning", is worthless.

    I have to go help my dad, do you how many families are at Krogers just walking around, Krogers has one-way aisle, guess how many can't follow direction lines.

    I told my wife we have 5 years until my son goes to college, his money is taken care of, he's set. The day I move him in is the day I put this house for sale and then buy my cottage and Class-C motorhome and say **** it.

    Start planning to test in Jan and test on a large scale in Feb.

    We know in April we got moving with testing, we were a month late.

    The good news is, the site is up and running and now has these locations that Trump talked about March 15th. Now he lied his ass off about it, but hey it's a terrific idea and happy to see this up and running. Needed this in Feb, not April.

    https://www.projectbaseline.com/study/covid-19/#who-s-eligible-to-get-screened-for-covid-19-testing

    California: Sacramento, San Jose, San Mateo, Stockton, Lake Elsinore, Sherman Oaks, Long Beach, and Salida

    Michigan: Eaton Rapids, Macomb, Swartz Creek

    New Jersey: Barrington, Waldwick

    New York: New Hartford, Valley Cottage

    Ohio: Holland, Parma

    Pennsylvania: Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Monroeville, York

    Guessing I'm falling into your trap again, you sneaky sneak you.

    Where were the Democrats in January and February?

    Where were you on this in January and February?

    My guess is trying to figure out how to impeach Trump.

    Do you honestly think Democrats back in January or early February would have given Trump money for something that wasn't an issue at the time? And that fact was stated by many on the current CV task force, Democrat leaders and mainstream media oulets.

    How long do you think it would take to produce, swab and process 2.4 billions swabs? Seriously 2.4 billion, with a b, swabs.

    That is the only way you are going to achieve the unrealistic goal the Democrats are demanding.

    For everyone to get a test if wanted serves no purpose. For what they want to work it would take 2.4 billion swabs.

    That would be 1 swab for every person legally in the country, to be tested 7 consecutive days. It would also require that every person in this country not come into contact with anyone or anything that could have contamination within that 7 day period.

    It's impossible to do.

    Where's your outrage with Democrats so hellbent on an impeachment that was never going to happen, and they knew it, that the early warnings sent out by your Dr. Osterholm were not heard by anyone?

    Hell, where were all of the Governors back in January and early February. My guess is probably listening to the WHO, Fauci, the CDC and mainstream media outlets saying how this is not a concern for the mainlamd US.

    But, in your infinite wisdom Trump is the only one that failed in this.

    I'd love to bring up your majesty Obama again, but that was probably your secondary trap :lol:

    I’m sorry, but I don’t think that is realistic. As I said before, up until feb 27-28th people left right and center were not concerned. Doctors, leftists, and the even the President alike believed this would not have an impact on us. Again, they were clearly, and woefully wrong. None of them are magic genies, Trump included. And I don’t think it’s fair to be a Monday morning quarterback and say that they should have prepped for a novel global pandemic in January.

    Edit: on the other hand, I do not understand how we let China pull the wool over our eyes for 3+ months. Somebody needs to be held accountable for that failure. I feel it is more realistic to say we could have had much better intelligence on the ground in china earlier.

    In January, the dems were trying to impeach Trump, in Feb. Pelosi was telling everyone to go to China town and have fun, eat and be merry in response to Trump shutting down entry from China ... "On Jan. 24, de Blasio said New Yorkers should "continue living as you have"; on Feb. 14 he said, "this should not stop you from going about your life ... from going out to Chinatown and going out to eat"; and on March 13, he reiterated "we wanted people to go on about their lives." (Foxnews) ..... many in the Fake news media was echoing the same sentiments ....

    Trump had not told them what to do, they listened to Trump intently and when he was silent they felt safe. They have always trusted Trump and took him for his word on everything..... they have no self accountability because Trump did not take the lead.

    It took the threat of a lawsuit for Cuomo to close schools

    That is just asking for somebody to pull a double bounce over the safety net around-the-world slam dunk.
