Lots of interesting comments on this thread.
Same here in our capital Berlin. I mean Berlin as a city is just an utter desaster, so you cannot expect them to do much right.It’s the same here in Montreal. Somehow, because our mayor has implemented more bike paths and such just to give alternative modes of transportation during the pandemic (reduce bus and metro users, etc) she’s been attacked by certain types. Strangely, many (most?) are also Covid deniers or think we are all exaggerating.
Explanations based on facts or science don’t seem to make them rethink. Anything associated with the “left” is wrong to them.
Wonder if it’s the same in other countries, states.
Fuck Bill Kristol. He helped enable the modern Republican party. He wants to talk about empathy? He's responsible for killing the Clinton health care plan in the 90's, and let's not forget him wanting the US to play "My Bodyguard" in the Middle east and attack Iraq...and Iran.Exactly.
Saying the quiet part out loud.The problem with the idea of herd immunity is, a *lot* of people have to die to get to the immunity part (if ever).
“This kind of isolation is one of the unspoken tragedies of the elderly who are now being told don’t see your family at Thanksgiving,” the doctor told Fox News host Martha MacCallum. “For many people this is their final Thanksgiving, believe it or not”
I understand, I also have people tell me (Including in this forum) what a miserable POS Biden is because of his past positiins. But my take is: people evolve. I have.Even Obama has. A lot of prominent Republicans have. If you never have evolved you might want to pinch Yourself.Fuck Bill Kristol. He helped enable the modern Republican party. He wants to talk about empathy?

He saw what the Republican party was becoming and didn't care...as long as they supported his preferred middle-east policy.
That sounds like what Trump would do.‘They’ve been following the science’: How the Covid-19 pandemic has been curtailed in Cherokee Nation
“It’s as if Russia had invaded the U.S. and the federal government said, ‘Every county should fend for itself,’”
We're not going to get herd immunity without vaccines, just like we haven't got it without vaccines for smallpox or any other disease.The problem with the idea of herd immunity is, a *lot* of people have to die to get to the immunity part (if ever).
North Dakota, which currently has the highest rate of new COVID infections relative to population in the world, voted 2/3 for Trump. So all those people you mentioned are likely to also be right-wing. The other third are more likely to wear masks, social distance, and wash their hands. Cleansing a gene pool of idiocy, or any other trait, is a statistical matter. Some of the other people invariably die. That's regrettable.Except it's not just them who are at risk, but also their families, friends, neighbours, co-workers, and everyone else they encounter, who are all endangered by their reckless behaviour, as are the overstretched doctors and nurses, should they, or anyone they infect, become severely ill and place a further burden on overstretched public health facilities.
Well yeah, a smart businessman knows when to cut his losses.Trump administration has 'checked out' as Covid-19 surges, experts say
Diagnoses and hospitalisations rise to worst level of pandemic but Dr Ashish Jha says federal government ‘has decided to completely check out’www.theguardian.com
True, though I'm not sure that the behaviour of smart businessmen has much to do with Trump.Well yeah, a smart businessman knows when to cut his losses.
Inb4 BIDEN FUCKED UP THE ECONOMY WITH COMMUNISM.True, though I'm not sure that the behaviour of smart businessmen has much to do with Trump.
But yes, I suppose that he must reason that Biden will have to pick up the pieces eventually, and try to clear up the mess he's left.
Some of England’s poorest areas face being trapped in coronavirus restrictions “permanently” unless the government tackles deep-rooted inequalities driving high transmission, according to a public health chief.
Prof Dominic Harrison, the director of public health at Blackburn with Darwen council, said the government’s “pointlessly punishing” approach would keep areas such as his under strict measures up to next summer.
He told the Guardian: “We do need the restrictions, but what we need is something that is going to be more effective, more helpful, less pointlessly punishing than continued controls that aren’t going to be effective, or that are unlikely to be effective in the medium term and cause continued and further economic damage.”
