Discussing politics and religion

I watched the exchange this morning, just wondering when Trump was going to break his calm and put this a-hole in his place. Another friggin Acosta wantabie.
How do you think CNN would report the topic?
...just like you would expect.
The reporter had no concerns, intent or questions as to how to inform the public as to todays current Cov information. He only asked annoying and stupid questions in a sad attempt to make Trump look bad. ....so ...so ...so obvious what he was doing. Trying to piss off Trump or make him say something they could use later as anti Trump ammo.
I watched later as UpChuck Todd interviewed the reporter and asking him if he thought the current situation was "wearing" on Trump. He was asking as he hoped it was working. What a waste of oxygen from both Biden wishers.
Is that the real focus from MSNBC, to try to wear down the President and make him look bad? Or do they want to keep Americans safe or healthy by reporting current information? ...I would be surprised if anyone with 1/2 a brain couldn't see what was happening.
I'd ban the guy like they did Acosta.

Biden won't like social distancing. He won't be able to fondle little girls.

Fact check for me.
https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirushttps://www.livescience.com/new-coronavirus-compare-with-flu.html
So far this flu season beginning in November the US alone has had 22,000 flu deaths.... the flu, not Coronavirus.
Worldwide, Coronavirus has killed about 30,000.
Are we freeking out a wee bit much?

Looks like Oregon but on a much much larger scale. Most cases by far are in just a few counties.
https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/county-county-breakdown-positive-casesNotice only a couple of NY counties have large issues. Just read 40% of US cases are in NY. New Jersey, Louisiana, Michigan, Washington State, specifically the Seattle area and California are the other Biggie's. NY has 6 times the deaths of any of the next closest state counts.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.htmlTo those that don't live and work in those high count areas this info is a reality check.
Not saying this thing isn't serious. It is. Just saying not to go freaking out. Just do the right thing and all will more than likely be just fine.

 

[Jon]

We doing fairly well here
600 confirmed with 47 probable. 1 death but that person had other issues
74 have recovered

 

[highup]

We're up to 17 deaths, and 606 cases. People are being pretty good about the distance suggestions.

 

[DarisMulkin]

Michigan I guess has 6498 case of the virus with 185 deaths. Of coarse that is subject to change each minute, sorry to say.

 

[highup]

If I lived where you do or in a large city I would of be a whole lot more concerned. Of Oregon's 600 cases, almost 1/2 of those are in two counties.
Here's a map. Our county and the one below us on the coast has no cases.... yet

I have an aunt in Gold Beach. Seems that is the place to be!

 

[Floorist]

No cases in my county YET.

 

[DarisMulkin]

I just read that Michigan is jumping about 1100 cases a day from what I posted this morning. 75 more deaths. Would this be what they mean by emptying the swamp? One of the deaths was a kid that graduated high school last year from a sxhool about 12 miles away.

You and Karen stay safe

That's Curry county just below us. I am in Coos County. The two counties make up the first 125 miles or so of Oregon's coastline.
I see more and more cars from California, Washington and Colorado in town. Tonight I see Ohio in the mix plus one from Nevada.
There are 25 to 30 cars in the Fred Meyer supermarket parking lot each night when I stop on my way home... at least 3 to 6 are from other states with Washington and California bring the main culprets...... And I do mean culprets. They are escaping their nasty circumstances in their home states. This is a pretty high ratio on non residents in a small community.
That number of out of staters is what we see in the summertime. This time of year it ought to be zero to one in a parking lot, but I see this unusually high ratio every day.... Not the same vehicles either.f
Yes I am a bit po'd. Stay home till it's over. No reason to bring it here because you have it where you live and are trying to escape..... we understand the fear, just don't bring it here.
No direct reference to you hav.... I just don't recall seeing this many out of State plates ever at this time of year. Rainy, windy and highs just approaching 50…..…... nobody comes here for this kind of weather. Still in the mid 30s in the morning. Camping grounds are closed and beaches too, so why travel anywhere?

We had a high school kid die from the flu.
The flu..... Super strong athlete. Just too young.

Oregon has just suspended prescribed fire burns because of the virus....
So I guess it's just fine if we get large forest fires in the summer because preventative measures were haulted for some idiotic reason. We have gone insane... now even safety if banned because of this virus. ...hopefully our fire season doesn't end in paradise.

In case the media didn't report the whole story:
Woman who said she drank fish-tank cleaner because of president's advice is not a Trump supporter

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/arizona-woman-fish-tank-cleaner-trump-democratShe drank fish tank cleaner

However, the woman and her husband ingested the additive chloroquine phosphate, which has been used in aquariums to kill microscopic organisms that might harm fish and other aquatic animals.


On March 19, Trump had touted anecdotal evidence that the antimalarial drug chloroquine could be used as a treatment for coronavirus during a White House briefing.

She hated Trump before, but now hates him even more because she is stupid.

Chlorine or hexachlorine?
Ammonium nitrate or Ammonium chloride?
...well, they kinda sorta sound the same.
I guess you need to add a teaspoon to a glass of ice tea and see what happens when you drink it.

 

[Jon]

Where do you find this stuff?
I thought I was the only one bored

 

[highup]

.always bored when it's 35 degrees and dark outside.
......that and I have the Fox news app.

 

[highup]

The hexachlorphenilenicin stuff was just some fun. Some chemicals are almost the same .....same sounding anyway.
One makes your hair shiny, but if you add 'thane' to it's main ingredient your house will blow up if you shut the door to hard.
