It's unbelievable, Trump, Republican governors cannot understand why people won't ignore this.

[shockey80]

The dead bodies. They truly believe if they say everything is fine, try and hide the numbers, tell everyone it's OK to go back work, school. We will all believe it and do what they want.

Not only are they lunatics, they are also complete idiots.

Hurry November.

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. We cant wait till JANUARY, I will probably be dead or very sick, maybe you too.

NOW, we do something NOW or we will be VERY
VERY VERY sorry.

[shockey80]

4. He should have been removed long ago.

It's really depressing.

[handmade34]

5. yes

Nov. will not end the abuse... a lot of damage can be done in 2.5 months

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. His mass murdering doesnt stop for 6 months, no matter who wins...think of how many POSTING HERE

today die in that 6 months.

[lunatica]

10. Stop that.

[Eliot Rosewater]

14. I dont recall if you are the same person who complained last time I said this, and if so

I am sorry that it bothers you, it bothers me TOO, big time.

If we dont talk like this and to everybody and everyday and encourage the patriots of our country to do so by tweeting and whatever, then your and my worst nightmare WILL come true.

There is no way around this, not this time.

People need to be aware of the GRAVE danger they are in and respond accordingly.

The virus is just beginning, and the damage it does to those who survive we are learning is devastating. Time to SCREAM at EVERYBODY...

But I am sincere when I say sorry, but I have to do this, because I KNOW what is happening and how bad it will get.

[lunatica]

18. I'm not the same person who complained before

And it isn’t a complaint. Everyone here is aware of exactly what you’re saying. Unlike a hell of a lot of people, as we can see from the news, we’re exceptionally aware of what’s going on.

There are people here who have already lost people to this virus. It is extremely painful to read about how many more might or will be lost. Everyone is aware of that. No one needs reminding. We also have quite a few DUers who are exposed to it because of their jobs. They don’t really need to be reminded here. DU needs to be a sanctuary during times like this. It IS a sanctuary. We need to help each other now.

I truly don’t mean to be critical at all. I hope we remain friends.

[Eliot Rosewater]

24. Cool, I get it...thanks, and sorry...

[PTWB]

8. The likelihood is you or I will be just fine.

But there are many who won’t be. The mishandling I’d the pandemic appears to be getting worse. They’ve set a crash course for disaster by committing to opening up schools at the end of August. This is going to cause a spike in coronavirus cases in September and deaths in October - right before the election.

For the life of me I cannot imagine how the think this will play well. It is almost as if they’re counting on the disaster to give them something to cast blame upon for the inevitable electoral loss.

[Eliot Rosewater]

9. Nope, diabetic and cardiovascular disease, 2 stents.

[PTWB]

12. Even so, the odds are still in your favor.

[Eliot Rosewater]

15. To not die, but the long lasting effects are horrible. And most of us will get the infection,

it is a question of if we survive it how bad will the LIFELONG effects be.

This is an EMERGENCY

[Nevilledog]

25. Sounding very Hunger Game-ish

[sprinkleeninow]

31. It has been appearing to me more so presently that we are in serious straits. Open season on America

so to speak, with no leadership in it all, only a sense of horror.

It wasn't until the past week that I am realizing that it will be worse if the students and faculty are to return to classrooms. I have no words or expression left.

"For the life of me I cannot imagine how the think this will play well. It is almost as if they’re counting on the disaster to give them something to cast blame upon for the inevitable electoral loss."

[warmfeet]

26. Yup.

Many of us might be gone before January. I concur with your assessment.

[Tumbulu]

29. I agree, I think it is way overdue

To simply arrest the man for mass murder.

[Yeehah]

2. Remember their names

That should be the refrain from now until we bring these creeps to justice.

REMEMBER THEIR NAMES

Thanks to the Lincoln Project

[JDC]

16. Agreed. But Americans really gave a short memory when it comes to politics

Unfortunately.

[Demsrule86]

21. This is not politics...this is death and a depression...we will remember.

[JDC]

23. I know I will. Thx

[Demsrule86]

30. I feel a big shift is coming in this country.

[Yavin4]

3. Years and years of getting away with lies on Fox News and other conservative outlets...

has taught them that they can create their own reality through talking points.

[Yeehah]

22. That is precisely correct

and stated as well and concisely as I've seen it anywhere.

[BlueJac]

7. K&R

[raging moderate]

11. Psychopaths believe the rest of us are secretly like them.

They think we are making it up. They think we secretly don't care about anybody else at all, just like them.

[enough]

13. In their minds, the bodies are all either black, Hispanic, or old. They really do not matter. NT

[ThoughtCriminal]

17. Idiot Republicans in those state still believe them

I had this argument today. Co-worker convinced that the numbers are hugely exaggerated, that almost all deaths are being misrecorded as COVID-19... The whole bubble. And this is in freaking Arizona where it is exploding and the hospitals are full.

No amount of statistical evidence can beat unverifiable anecdotal crap he's heard somewhere. The healthcare professionals, statisticians, epidemiologists are all lying to get money. Hopeless.

his is the GOP base, which we can only hope keeps shrinking until it is two angry old guys shrieking at each other about which one is more conservative. Then one shoots the other and we lock up the survivor.

[sop]

19. Mandating the reopening of schools - in the face of sharply rising COVID-19 infections, caused

primarily by the last ill-conceived and premature reopening order, with no reopening plan whatsoever, and no money to reopen safely - is total madness. This will make the caging of immigrant kids separated from their parents seem benign in comparison. Trump and his henchmen have finally reached rock bottom.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. States Clinton won vs states tRump won

[Nevilledog]

27. Fuck it. I'm gonna get out my Sharpie and draw a better line for red states.

[bucolic_frolic]

28. Reopening will not succeed in the face of numbers like we're seeing now

One of the CEO's of one of the big banks stated today that getting people to come into the office will be a big problem. Everyone will want to work from home.

Schools? They'll be sparsely populated. No amount of personnel would be able or available to process delinquency. By the ides of October those in school will be 30% sick with COVID. This mess is not going to work very well.
