It also kind of ignore the fact that Obama made an agency who's specialty was exactly this and then Trump gutted it (in part to fund those tax cuts). I'd say that absolves Obama pretty distinctly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, saw India at the top of the one tweet and assumed the bottom was the results out of India. Then we're getting mixed results out of China, which isn't good either. There goes my being hopeful in a few weeks we'll be in better shape to start re-open things. Edited March 24, 2020 by PeterMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 What's Jerry Junior's motive, here? Does he personally profit enough from reopening the school to make the money enough to justify knowingly spreading disease worth it? Is it just loyalty to Team Red? He's got to know that his actions are going to kill people. (In fact, his actions are quite obviously intended to start a wave of evil, that will kill thousands.) What's he get out of the deal, that makes it worth that? What's his "pro" that's worth that "con"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the Falwell’s own personal financial empire. “Under Falwell Jr., Liberty University has come under scrutiny for its authoritarian control over employees and students, for its nepotism toward Falwell family-owned businesses in the school's investments, and for the increasing influence of Falwell's wife Becki in school affairs.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The human mind is a powerful thing and if you tell yourself something often enough, you can start to believe it. You tell yourself over and over that liberals are liars that hate the US and will do anything to see it destroyed, you will start to believe it, even in the context of ignoring evidence right in front of you.

Larry Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Quote In a follow-up post published Monday, Prof. Epstein concedes his estimates were off and that US deaths will be 4-5x higher Actually, if you keep reading, he increases his death estimate by a factor of 4-5, and then immediately states that it's probably still low. (And then announces that he's sticking by his original BS claim, anyway: Public health decisions should be made by the owners and managers of individual businesses.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CousinsCowgirl84 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The numbers I was hearing about death counts were if we did nothing, but we are doing a lot. What do experts think the death toll is going to most likely be? 10k? even if trump says it’s time to move in, most states where the pandemic is most widespread aren’t able to open up and most of their demographic doesn’t trust the president...

He has the ability to keep everyone at home and continue teaching while actually giving a **** about people's safety but he wants to kiss Trump ass and have his Colonel Jessup moment, making a decision because he can and won't be questioned 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmirOfShmo Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) I recall 8-10 days ago there was a belief that cases would double every 6 days. Based on that theory, we've seen a 667% increase from March 16th to March 22nd: 3/16 4,466 cases with 87 deaths (1.95% death rate) 3/22 34,276 cases with 413 deaths (1.20% death rate) The next 6 day period shows: 3/17 6,135 cases with 111 deaths (1.81% death rate) 3/23 42,663 cases with 541 deaths (1.27% death rate) A 595% increase. So, yeah, open your university, dumbass. Things are getting better. Just make sure you don't use the healthcare available in Lynchburg. Maybe have a prayer circle jerk to cure the sick. Oh, and don't forget to charge them an entry fee for it. Edited March 24, 2020 by EmirOfShmo 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
