SABRES 0311

I’ll be “snarky” when you ignore the fact I do blame him just not solely. Yes he’s the president but other politicians and the media downplayed COVID-19. It was a team effort at failing. As president he gets the biggest voice and if other big voices go along with it what are people supposed to think? Hold him accountable as you should but I hope you do the same for those in the MSM and other politicians. Trump May lose in 2020 which means he was president for just four years. Meanwhile look how many politicians and media personalities have been around for a lot longer. How many of them downplayed, failed and are now staying out of the lime light? Those same people will still be here after Trump yet people will act like all is good because the orange man is out of the Oval Office. The problem is bigger than one person.

To the bold: The second sentence in my last post said he shouldn’t have downplayed COVID. I kept the post short to reduce ambiguity. I’ll keep it shorter next time and use all caps.If I had to guess he downplayed it to avoid hurting the economy for political gain. Obviously that didn’t workout. I don’t blame Trump for all of it because he wasn’t the only one downplaying. Pelosi urged people to go out as well. In fact I think it was a failure of the government as a whole. All of these people have staffs to advise them so they can come together and make informed decisions. They failed. The earliest common sense approach I can think of was the travel ban and some people thought it was wrong to do at the time. I also blame China but we can talk about it in the COVID thread. As far as having a president who leads the way by example it sure hasn’t been the three prior to Trump. You must be a lot older than me. You are correct that they said the buck stops here but all it was is talk. Trump’s presidency is the sum of the last few decades. If you think recent presidents were so great then thank them for Trump.

No I think criticism is due. He shouldn’t have downplayed it in the beginning and should’ve used better language to say it came from China. What I don’t agree with is putting the blame squarely on Trump for how this went down. I’d go as far as saying if HRC was president I wouldn’t completely blame her and I am not a fan of that garbage.

In this case I agree the federal government should leave it to the states. However when this thing started Trump got hammered for not shutting down the country. From beginning to end the states can figure it out themselves.

Nice to see UFC putting shows on. Guess COVID can’t stop a flying a knee.

You know what’s funny? I read this and thought you said you are a dude who goes to a salon. ?

His voice is too deep for his face. Looks ten sounds fifty.

I read someone is opening their business. Is that not the case?

First off, good on you for opening up. A lot of people are scared like you are but courage is following through despite the fear. Second, if you and your clients use common sense protection I'm sure you’ll be fine. You doing this is one step toward the country coming back.

Saw this Glen Beck episode today. It’s based on the Gen. Flynn case but goes deeper.

That’s a good question. On one hand the first to get a vaccine gets the gold. On the other hand China might be worried about what we know about the origin of the Virus and it’s path around the world. After all China is not making friends in the Pacific and their questionable handling of COVID adversely affects some key players like us, Russia and the U.K.

I’ve been getting a haircut every week. Barbers wear face masks and everyone else stays six feet away. Wash my hands and disinfect my phone when I get home. All good.

China is trying to steal U.S. COVID research. You’d think the place this thing started would already know what we know. I wonder if they thought of just asking.

Have you tried an in home haircut?

According to a video (I heard of) you would be boldly going where plenty of other men have gone before.

You could always put her in a corn field to protect the crops.

Internet has a couple of them. Which one are you referring to?

He died.

Better than nothing. Depends on the filtration and how much you are exposed to other people’s disgustingness.

Yeah, in no way did it show how serious they were.

The first quote in the story sounds they’re saying “You can trust us. We wanted to keep you safe by using drones to observe you.” I stayed out of the conversation for a while. I wonder if they would’ve still walked it back if people in other parts of the country weren’t protesting other COVID control measures while carrying guns.

I don’t get the numbers on the graph. 700,000 died since February and COVID caused 37,000 of them? Where are the other 30,000 COVID deaths? https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm

I guess we’ll see in the next few months.
