Coronavirus' spread in GOP territory

Covid-19 is a non issue. It only targets 2 small demographics and even then is highly survivable.

Your non-issue pretty much shutdown international travel. The E.U. has lifted the ban on 14 countries. Of all the non-European countries in the world, only 14 are controlling this non-issue well enough that people can travel between those countries and Europe.
I suspect that individual States will start demanding that visitors from States like Arizona, Florida and Texas will need to quarantine for 14 days.

The economics of this are going to be bad. Many in your country and in others will lose their housing.

Trump's premature talk of reopening, Easter indeed, has reversed the progress that was being made.
I would be very surprised if travel between the U.S. and Europe resumes before the summer of 2021 and it could well be the summer of 2022.

Your non-issue could well result in everlasting changes to the U.S. You have a country where its citizens are unable to pull together for each other and present a united front.
Might be time to for the people to contemplate a name change for your Country.
 
Obviously. Math is for the living. Your fearmongering is not productive.

Wait till you get a positive.

Then tell me a bit about fear.

I've had chest pains consistent with a pending heart attack. I've had a doctor tell me they needed to stop and restart my heart. I know fear. I'm not afraid of the sniffles.

Covid-19 didn't stop international travel. Fearmongers stopped international travel. Covid-19 is a non-issue. There are REAL problems in the word and covid-19 is NOT one of them.

Well I be damned, the OP was right and you are not, quelle surprise (what a surprise).

i live in a red state, and i hope that it doesn't start skyrocketing here. i see militant maskless people every time i go to the store, however, so i'm concerned.
 
All you need is 4th grade math to see that covid-19 has a 95% survival rate.

Who is the first to volunteer to be in the 5 percent ?

Covid 19 is wicked and even more sinister than scientists had realized.

Inside the body, the coronavirus is even more sinister than scientists had realized

Covid 19 can hit a patient so hard and unexpectedly they can walk into the hospital on their accord with shortness of breath and then be comatose and on a ventilator an hour later.

What was I wrong about? Did California become a Red state or not?

Except that was not the subject of this thread. 10 out of the 12 worst COVID states are republican, so again, the OP is correct.

FYI, the Netherlands is largely ready for even more freedom of covid restrictions because our government did the right thing, unlike the Trump government.
 
If a Democrat says the sky is blue, Fox, then Trump, then his cult will say no it's green.. Saying it's blue is fake news and a hoax.

That's what happened with this virus, it hit Dem states 1st, they said we're going to social distance and wear masks.. Fox, and Trump and his cult called it a hoax, and made fun of the precautions..

The tables have turned. This virus don't care about politics or state borders.

One thing that’s interesting about this virus is that it exposes fools readily. It moves quickly, in a matter of weeks, not years. Traditionally, the long delay between bad decisions and judgment and their catastrophic consequences has been the strategy that the GOP has used to shift the blame of the devastating consequences of its decisions to the past or future Democratic politicians.

But the consequences of abject ignorance and poor judgment hit hard and fast with this virus, before these guys can even finish saying “fake news” anymore. The stark contrast between countries with competent governments which follow scientific recommendations and implement sound judgment and policy and these guys shows up in stark relief before they can even begin to make more stuff up about Obama’s secret birth certificate or ask us to give trickle down economics another few decades to finally work.

And if you think the consequences of such anti-science sentiment are bad, just wait until the effects of the years of climate change denial begin to kick in.

At the minimum I see another Great Depression. And a housing crisis. And hyperinflation. And the Republicans will only blame it all on the Democrats.

I think Republicans would have trouble making that stick considering that it was under Republican 'leadership' that the virus was downplayed and cynically dismissed as 'nothing to see' and no worse than seasonal influenza.

You'll soon discover what a "non issue" it is when it hits you or your family. We'll see how arrogant and dismissive you are then when you're drowning in your own pus-filled lungs. I doubt you'll be talking about "the sniffles" quite as glibly.

No tables have turned, Democrat states still have by far, the highest number of covid-19 deaths. It's not even close. California is now in the lead for most new cases. This GOP narrative is just another gaslighting effort by Dems, and lib drones slurp it up like eager little nursing baby goats.

Don't worry, it'll hit you soon enough. You can talk about gaslighting then.

Ohio tops 50,000 COVID-19 cases; daily reported cases remain high

Interesting comparison you make... highest number of covid-19 deaths ( a lagging indicator) with most new cases ( a leading indicator)... Is that deliberate or just a lack of understanding?

I've never had a heart attack or COVID-19 so I can't compare, but being on a ventilator because of the "sniffles" doesn't sound like a walk in the park either.
 
Liberal states are foam finger #1 in COVID cases, and it's not even close, especially New York.

Except in Liberal states they had reasonable responses, and having a number 1 foam finger is a lot better than having a state where the governor and the republicans leading those states have FOAM brains, you know, manure for brains. They couldn't make a proper decision if they tried to make one..

Like governor Ricketts from Nebraska, he has foam/manure for brains too. In one part of his state there was a huge number of covid patients (compared to the size, like 20,000) but they had a meat processing plant so viruses were way up. To protect the staff at the courthouse people needed to wear masks, temperature was taken and questions were asked. Fine, good measures if you are living in a covid hot spot. But that was not to the liking of Foam for Brain Pete Ricketts. He ordered them to stop mandating masks and to enforce that he stated that any government building in which masks were mandated, well that area would get ZERO covid help money from the federal government.

That is why it is better to have a foam number 1 finger and proper politicians than not having a nr. 1 foam finger and being cursed with **** for brain politicians.
 
We've been opening back up for two months, if we get hit, it'll be because of the rioters.

My own state (Massachusetts) has had its fair share of protesters, but our cases have been declining.

None of your predictions have come true. Why should we believe you now? Twice the number of people have died in nursing homes alone, in New York than the total number of deaths in Texas and Florida combined. Get back to me when your "lagging indicator" even comes close to that.
