Trump Covid

nsacpi said:
you and very poorly chosen one continue with the dishonest framing...the main things we should be doing (wearing a mask, social distancing, avoiding crowded situations) are actually quite non-intrusive and low cost...good adherence to these measures would reduce the more intrusive and high-cost things such as disruptions to the education of our children...it ought not to be difficult as a society to come to some sort of consensus that being able to open schools safely is more important than going to a bar

Dude. I've been wearing a mask and social distancing with strangers for 8 months.

Kids are not in school.

Unemployment has tripled.

1 in 6 small businesses are closed.

I haven't been to my office in 8 months.

The Braves will play a home game in Houston with no fans today

Are you really this obtuse to pretend that the only thing that has changed is a damn mask?
 
reminder that have people have been arrested for paddle boarding, attending drive in church ceremony, going to the beach, not wearing a mask outdoors, and singing during an outdoor church ceremony.

But nsacpi assures me everything is totally normal... just need to wear our masks

lets unpack

1) you have been social distancing and wearing a mask...highly commendable...what's your complaint

2) kids not in school...we should have been strenuously working to avoid this outcome...through aggressive testing....contact tracing...this is an enormous policy failure by your boy because only the federal govt has the resources to provide the incentives for the necessary increase in testing capacity that would allow tests to be turned around quickly to be of help...btw here in NY kids are attending in-school classes...sorry to introduce a fact like that into the discussion

3) unemployment has tripled...again see the case for massive testing made by Nobel laureate David Romer....he and others have been beating the drums on this since early April as the BEST and maybe ONLY way to avoid the horrible choice between lives and livelihood

4) 1 in 6 small businesses closed (see 3 above)

5) you haven't been in your office in 8 months...what do you want...a thank you note or flowers?...will be glad to send either
 
Nsacpi...

"Covid hasn't dominated our lives. Orange man is wrong again!"

Also nsacpi

"Yes all of these awful disruption to our lives is our failure against covid."

1. what's my complaint? hmmm... for the first time in life, I haven't been to a baseball game. I haven't been to my office in 8 months (I love working with people and my collegues). I have friends who are so scared to interact with people that I haven't seen them since February despite them living 10 min away. My gym was closed for 6 months, now I must workout with a mask which I don't plan to do. I've also gained 15 lbs during this time period. My church was shut down for 6 months. My favorite restaruants shut down - one of them closed for good. My mom lost her job. When I go for a hike or to the store, people don't look at each other anymore. We all think everyone is a sickly super spreader and slowly losing our humanity for one another. People that work for me have to also teach their young children all day... they have become useless workers as I don't blame them at all.

so yeah, I'm wearing my mask... and my life is being dominated.

2. kids not being in schools is anti-science and purely meant to disrupt our lives... or, dominate them. whether it is policy failure or not, the fact that they are not in schools everyone is kinda prrof of covid dominating us, right?

3. local government officials mandated the closure of businesses. businesses aren't meant to sustain 0 revenue for 2 weeks let alone 2 months.

4. See above

5. I like my office. I like my job. I like the people I manage. I like the people I work with. I like the social interaction. I like the productivity it enables. My point is that me not being in the office is another data point about how covid has dominated my life.

I recognize your TDS does not allow you to agree with Trump... but you suggesting that nothing has changed is the most laughable statement on this board... and I can tell you that 57 and goldy have been on these boards a long time.

I hope your mental state begins recovery on the 4th.

1. Turn that frown upside down.
2. Societies are all trying to find their way through this pandemic. There is no one size fits all. In the end, your personal struggles are your problem. Find a way and stop complaining so much. You're Freedom Boy!!!
3. No offense, really, but I had no idea positive social interaction was so important to you.
4. I hope you have remained in contact with your co-workers. It's really easy to do.
5. nsacpi didn't create the coronavirus and he isn't responsible for OO's mismanagement.

1) i will drive in rather than take public transportation

2) will wear mask until food is served out of respect for the restaurant workers

3) will eat outdoors

as AOC told that brunch will no longer be a thing in NYC.

sad for the pro-brunchers

I am indeed freedom boy... and I feel bad for everyone who's freedom has been dismantled while we've allowed covid to dominate our lives
 
Let's just be thankful that most of us were able to stay safe at home bc "some black woman was able to stock grocery shelves" per Biden. If anyone can lead us past our "systemic racism" in this country, it's joe... he certainly sees blacks as equals (eye roll)

it's not about being dominated by the virus

it's common decency 101

showing some consideration to people around you...it costs very little
