Come on Steve. That was entirely political. A direct shot at a state governor and saying if your sensible, we should agree?And you want us to follow the rules? Am I allowed
You mean this gem?
...game, set AND match
Well after being here for 25 years and making the rules and wading through thousands of posts a day moderating I think occasionally I am allowed to say something. Anyway, this isn't about me. Back to the subject at hand.
...as has been months of celebrating wanton failure through lack of appropriate action with strawmen, red herring and outright lies.
Your house your rules. If you want to vent in your own house go ahead
Yes its actually fascinating, but sad to see. Thankfully in the UK, politics is not part of dealing with COVID, and no matter which side you are on, it is all about getting the country through it. In the U.S.A., for many in power, it all seems political and making statements by action, or inaction. It is a sad sight to see the world's super power not being able to work together with its own people and make a difference for the better.
What data? What has changed today that was different yesterday or a week ago or 2 weeks? We see the daily updates on cases and I don’t see a major positive change. If anything there was a plateau and slight uptick now. It’s fine for the governor to decide to do this, it’s his prerogative, but it’s disingenuous to say it was done based on any data or metrics. In his press conference he basically said that he was using the anecdotal evidence that Miami restricted restaurants and still had Covid cases anyway so restricting restaurants doesn’t work.
Give me a break buddy. For the last 6 months you have made it your mission to bash Americans at every opportunity. We get it. You hate us. You look down your nose at the rest of us. Call everyone selfish and arrogant. Continuous backhand political comments because you have no self control. And before the virus, your mission was to bash everyone who said anything positive about Disney. Same thing. Different topic. It is who you have been since you joined. God help you if you actually act this way outside of this environment....as has been months of celebrating wanton failure through lack of appropriate action with strawmen, red herring and outright lies.
...I mean here - not the politicians. Still waiting for Cane to write his book on how Florida outsmarted this and for X to liberate his golf course
Not gonna win here...as has been the case since March.
It’s people with the attitude of Sirrunshismouth that causes us the most issues in the US. And it’s sad that you and many others cannot see it. Have a good one.
why would you think logically? Rude.
If Disney opens a park in NYC and Cuomo does something that negatively impacts it I’d say it’s fair game. I’m critical of the CA governor now for not allowing DLR to re-open. It’s not because of my politics it’s because I disagree with his policy. For me it’s not about political back and forth as I had no vote in either FL or CA so I have no horse in either race.
Wrong since Day 1...
Perhaps there would have been more cooperation if the US jailed people who didn’t comply with government decree.
I’m pretty sure he just moved the goal posts. I haven’t seen anywhere that the governor actually said they met some specific metric to move to phase 3. His focus was solely on businesses having the right to be open and workers having the right to work. He also said he felt the restrictions implemented so far were ineffective so he was lifting them.
Most of our modern medicine is pretty young. Virology didn't become a thing until the turn of the 20th century. Advancement really came with the invention of the electron microscope in the 1930's. For all that we know about older viruses now, studying new viruses in real time has been limited in opportunity. Especially, something global as this one vs ones where the outbreaks were more regionally limited, thankfully. But smaller outbreaks also mean smaller money and attention into the research.
