The difference is that I am apolitical. I wish it equally on liberals and conservative. Other than staying home bored, I am enjoying this event. I am finally watching the news again because I find this entertaining. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

| Shrek Member since: Aug 13, 2019 Threads: 6 Posts: 1635 | Fair enough. I was just observing, not complaining. Exactly. I'm really getting tired of seeing that old Dr. Fossil on TV. He just likes the sound of his own voice. Dr. Fossil would have us stay quarantined for the next 2 years if it was up to him! |

The libbies have mastered the art of creating more problems that wouldn't have existed otherwise!! 😂😂 |

I thought maybe the corny virus got him. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Did he then sully those admirable words and brag about the ratings his press briefings are getting? "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

| SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4178 | Welcome back Shrek. I had a computer go kablooey. Went on line. Bestbuy.com. Clicked a few times. Less than $200 got a new laptop via curbside pick up at local store. No Best Buy nearby? I've been saving up some anti Cuomo stuff for you, by the way! Oh hell here goes.... He had the opportunity to buy ventilators a few years ago to prepare for something like this and did not. The social distancing rules here (mostly NYC) are a failure because of all the exceptions. There how do you think the pizza workers get to work in Manhattan? SUBWAY How do the dry cleaners get to work in Manhattan? SUBWAY How about the banker that should not be allowed in and should work from home? SUBWAY Tree pruners that work in Central Park? SUBWAY I could go on and on. The pictures of crowded subway cars are real. The poor, mostly Black and Hispanic, are suffering the brunt of Cuomo's malfeasance. He can say Trump should have shut down the country sooner, and maybe he should have, but Cuomo had the right, and yes, the obligation, to shut down NY sooner. I mean, NY State will soon see the most deaths of any country if it were to be classified as such. EVEN HIS DOOFUS brother was not practicing social distancing, and put his own mother at risk! And somehow the liberal media makes them out to be stars! Andrew C. is so into himself it is ridiculous. He is, and ALWAYS has been, asll about the power. His brilliancy has just closed all the golf courses in our area. It was ONE activity that could be accomplished easily using social distancing guidelines. And he decided to crush another small business group FOR NO RATIONAL reason! My wife loves him and hates when I point out all his weaknesses. But she never has a real answer to any of them. "He just sounds so much smarter than Trump". Sadly, he does. |

| Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 1988 | The wet markets where Covid-19 likely emerged, are reopening in China. According to the Washington Post, 'That's good'. "The prevalence of food-borne microbial illness in developing East Asia suggests that far from being cesspits of disease, wet markets do a good job of providing households with clean, fresh produce." This is the 2007 University of Hong Kong SARS report that Maher refers to: “The findings that horseshoe bats are the natural reservoir for SARS-CoV-like virus and that civets are the amplification host highlight the importance of wildlife and biosecurity in farms and wet markets, which can serve as the source and amplification centers for emerging infections.” “Large numbers and varieties of these wild game mammals in overcrowded cages and the lack of biosecurity measures in wet markets allowed the jumping of this novel virus from animals to human.” “Its capacity for human-to-human transmission, the lack of awareness in hospital infection control, and international air travel facilitated the rapid global dissemination of this agent. Over 8,000 people were affected, with a crude fatality rate of 10%. The acute and dramatic impact on health care systems, economies, and societies of affected countries within just a few months of early 2003 was unparalleled since the last plague.” |

Now 4. NZ has a population density of 46 people per square mile. NYC has a population density of 26,403 people per square mile. Do you think that makes a difference? NZ also did not have 3.4 million travelers from China and Europe enter their county between December and February. |

Shh, don't ruin it for him. He thinks they're exactly the same. He thinks comparing apples to oranges is a great idea. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
