Will Joe Biden say a swear!? LET JOEY B SWEAR! (he does not actually swear but stops himself)

I'm so sorry for your loss Mr. Sinister.

I don't think these protests will lead to spreading among one party more than another, as most of these protesters are sufficiently healthy to fight it off. They will, however, spread it to those around them. And that's another reason it will hit everyone. I remember a video showing where people from a Florida beach went afterwards; they spread across the whole country. These protests will be like that, but likely localized to a state, but all parts of a state. Now, the virus being much more deadly to elderly combined with elderly being more likely to be Republicans,

The light is blinking red.

If Joey B only serves 1 term (or loses), Andrew Cuomo is setting himself up nicely as someone who could run in 4 years.

Here's the other crazy thing about the "sacrifice some lives for the economy." This isn't gonna be a Thanos-snap and 2.5% of the population just dissipates and we pick up the pieces. It's gonna be millions upon millions sick. Hospitals overrun. Basic services disrupted. For months, and months. 2.5% dying only after months and months of national hardship. With the speed the virus spreads, it's likely with ZERO containment that it would take about 3 months to hit most everyone who is gonna get it. Maybe (if it's seasonal or mutates even that won't work bc

I wanted to crunch some numbers re: Coronavirus and potential election impact but that seemed too electiony for the Coronavirus thread. But to drive home the point about how bad an idea it is for Trump to end social distancing early, I crunched some numbers for PA, MI, WIS, the 3 states where he won enough electoral votes to win overall, and did so by only 77K vote COMBINED. My numbers might be optimistic, but assuming 2.5% death rate (this is higher than at present but assumes some hospital overflow that gets people killed, and is below a lot of other countries' death

Have you seen this administration in action? They absolutely are that delusional. And they think they CAN be that delusional because their base doesn't challenge the delusion, but embraces it. This is going to be a bloodbath. But some of the...more...head-on-shoulders people in the admin must see the futility of this, right? Like if the economy crashes, he's done. If he tries to push people back out and it spreads, untold #s will die. You'd think someone whose biggest group of support is older folks and who won a number of states b

Jail. Now. Dumping stock is bad. Buying stock you know will benefit from a pandemic is malicious. Jail. Also, made this:

This illiterate moron damn near crashed the markets with a single word he inserted while reading from a teleprompter. Remember when Republicans would make fun of Obama for his minor teleprompter mess ups? Congrats, you can never cite that again because all Obama accomplished with his was getting the GOP riled up, while your dude managed to tank the entire economy.

Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Yup, and all the way through the 20th. Escalated very quickly. It's the right thing to do but there's gonna be a lot of pissed off parents, and I hope no kids relied on the school for their meals.
