“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”

The gators are one of the only things I miss from Florida, despite being huge apex predators they're mostly pretty chill. I used to kayak a lot and never once did they seem to give a poo poo about me paddling around. It's reasonable to expect pretty much every fresh body of water to have at least one gator in it in Florida.

Getting your dog eaten by a gator is definitely some snowbird or retiree level of ignorance of Florida. Especially if you have a backyard up against water but don't have a fence.


Though to be fair I don't think I've ever noticed a "Beware: Alligators" sign there but most people correctly assumed they were there anyway.

nah its from CSPAM, but its only 1-2 steps away from what was actually introduced:


quote:

A third poll watcher noticed that when absentee ballots came in from military personnel, many showed votes for Democrats. He found that odd.

“I can estimate that at least 80% of military ballots I saw were straight ticket Democrat or simply had Joe Biden’s name filled in on them,” the man wrote. “I had always been told that military people tended to be conservative, so this stuck out to me."


quote:

Inside Detroit’s absentee-ballot-counting center, one Republican poll watcher complained that workers were wearing Black Lives Matter gear. She thought one of them — a “man of intimidating size” — had followed her too closely.

Deaths per days. Sorry should have been clearer. Also this is total deaths, not even combat (which is lower), so it includes everything from Fritz to botulism from a tin can in the Pacific. Admittedly Rona has been shorter, but even then the deaths in one year on average are far larger and may even wind up being, even if corona ends by 2021/2020.

My old rule of thumb is you don’t blame a dog for its owner being an rear end in a top hat. Lots of good dogs have come to us and others by formerly being owned by pricks. Not to knock gators, but I’m going to give the benefit to the dogs, but that’s my own bias.

Population wise, Europe has almost the same death rate as United States. This has nothing to do with Trump, but how Western societies operate and how each sub entity (us governor/eu national leader) responds.

I think it has a fair amount to do with Trump and his gross incompetence. But my point was more to the fact that even in the darkest days of all America’s conflicts, in a very raw and emotional sense, Covid is still killing more Americans then our enemies or military bureaucracy per day ever could do and it’s not even close. I’ll freely admit the numbers when adjusted and compared in a more scientific context may not bare out, but it’s still a hell of thing.

I agree, but I don’t think it’s fair that they suffer the fate for the owners incompetence. But I was referring to that situation vs a gator just out for a walk.

I agree, if he took this seriously from the beginning, a lot of people who listen to him would have taken it seriously as well. But I don't know if it would have made that much of a difference. This is a first massive worldwide flu pandemic in a very long time and I don't know if there is anything we can really do to stop it now. I would really like to find out if China faked their numbers or if they really controlled it.

looking at his tweets, yeah he's absolutely fired. Anyone who does not worship the orange god's mushroom gets got.

It would have made a tremendous difference, especially early on.

Like, the thing about China lying? This is why we have an intelligence service. We've poured untold billions into the NSA, CIA, and DIA budgets, and any intelligence coming from China would have almost certainly picked up on the developing pandemic, and how much to worry about it. But Trump, a man who doesn't bother to read his own intelligence briefings, ignored any bad news about the pandemic and how it might effect the US, and instead took Xi at his word. We could have been pushing to allow US doctors into Wuhan from the very beginning, providing humanitarian aid, while also learning more about the disease and how to treat it when it inevitably came to our shores. We could have had more effective testing and contact tracing ready to go, to help snuff out outbreaks before they got big. We could have done screenings at airports and ports of entry, coordinated with nations across the globe to develop best practices and messaging.

But we didn't. We didn't, because the administration believe something like this would happen and didn't care if it did, and now we're drowning in our own dead.

The poo poo was prominent in the PDB as far back as December, according to the news, but Donnie didn't read it at all, preferring instead his own narrative that it's a small thing and it will go away. We see now where that got us.

The cat is well and truly out of the bag, we could go into lockdown for 6 months and everything would still be on fire, because massive, uncontrolled community spread is just the way of things in the US now. Even if you went into full lockdown, half of fuckers won't wear a mask because they believe it's a restriction of their freedoms or they've got some bullshit card they whipped up on their computer saying masks give them anxiety.

The only way this gets under control will probably be a massive, widespread vaccination campaign, if we have the capacity to deploy it, and if fuckers actually get the vaccine. According to the latest polling numbers, only somewhere like 48% of people in the US would take a COVID vaccine if it was offered, because they believe all of the vaccines for covid are unsafe and are being fast-tracked too quickly to measure for side effects/complications, which yes they are being fast tracked, because everything is on loving fire.

The part where Kushner et al decided that this would really only hurt democrat (black) cities and leave the countryside relatively unaffected up to and including seizing medal equipment should get all their asses sent to the Hague for trial on crimes against humanity and attempted genocide but no way the US ever yields that degree of sovereignty even if Biden cared about accountability.
