I viscerally despise many of the views espoused by the left, but I sure as **** cannot tolerate this beyond dumb, dangerous **** twat either.

Well, I'm leaning hard left and I want to you to know I don't despise you ya silly c-word.

This asswipe’s tragic & ignorant mismanagement of COVID-19 makes for odd bedfellows.

Implementing a travel ban back on January 23 while everyone called him racist & said it wasn’t needed was ignorant was it ?
Not to mention pushing for the stimulus package for small businesses only to have Pelosi & Schumer constantly reject it to try & put things in the package for their political benefit
Trump was only following what The World Health Organisation was saying which is understandable considering the US is sending them a lot of money to them.
Trump can be a clown sometimes but stop following CNN’s narrative & maybe think for yourself ?
If you’re going to blame anyone look at both China & the WHO.

I find it hard to understand how anyone could consider funding for hospitals and testing during a pandemic to be an objectionable partisan political benefit, although I'm biased because my family's livelihood and safety is directly affected by these measures.

Apparently, the “c-word” is an extremely common derogatory profanity in the U.K. And “brilliant” is used like we use the words “awesome” or “cool.”

I already watched it, he is a brilliant c-word.

Ex & Floody, you two need to Stop the Political bickering. Each person who comments, pushes it one step further.
If you want to veer away from the subject matter, which is = "COVID-19", then do it on the Current Affairs Board.

They have plenty of material there for you, as you can see below.
This is the Celtics Board. -- And the Subject Matter of this Thread is COVID-19. -- Nothing more.

Consider this an Unofficial Warning.

Is this departure a good thing?

[canman1971]

I'm NH. And I have 6 year old I am home schooling. And let me tell you, being a HS teacher doesn't mean s*** when teaching a first grader, never mind your own son. But I am grateful and fortunate. Others have it way worse. But I do have my freak out moments haha. That's what the padded room is for.

Mine is 7 years old.

It's hell.

People who have older kids who are capable on technology and have a decent attention span are doing much better than me.... it's a daily struggle at the moment.

I have an 8 year old and a 6 year old, with the latter being autistic. Trying to keep them in a routine has been a complete disaster. Trying to balance homeschooling with my own work has been impossible and exhausting.

10:30pm: I know I have to go to bed.
Me: "Why is it that I feel so much better at this time?"
My wife: "Lets see, your son has been sleeping since 7:30."

This is rough: Sebastian Telfair lost two very close family members to the disease. One conjecture is that they got infected thanks to a film opening, where the film was a documentary about their relative Stephon Marbury.

That's really sad. I am probably in a minority here, but I always liked both Telfair and Marbury. Shame to see Telfair's family suffer not one but two tragedies like this.

It is a consequence of the fact that New York is past its peak and not at risk of exceeding hospital capacity anymore, which is itself a good thing! But I kind of liked the idea of having a hospital ship called Comfort docked here, so I'm a little sad it's leaving.

You should take this to Current Affairs because Parl asked you to.

You should ALSO take this to Current Affairs because people over there have pointed out some of the many errors in the ridiculous claims you're parroting, and would likely be willing to do so again.

I’m getting tired of having to be fair and respectful to Trump supporters, honestly.. there’s always something to say in defense even of bad decisions, and it doesn’t say anything about liberal and conservative philosophies generally, but Trump is just an epic **** and this has gone on too long - he’s bad at his job and he shouldn’t have it

Way Off-Topic, and Highly Political. -- Go to the Current Affairs Board.
Official Warning.

Hey all, I haven’t really had anything to contributed to this thread lately, but love all the information I get here, so thanks to all of you posting. I’ll reference info I saw only here when talking to other people and then tell them where I got it. Always fun. Hope everyone is safe.

And, special thanks to Parl for keeping the thread on track.

sad days when Americans side with the enemy, more then our own leader. China and the WHO are 100% to blame here and when this pandemic is all over with. Do not be surprised when all of the facts come out and China will be exposed! God Bless America and Go C's!

Respecting Parl’s wishes, all I will say is that 2 things can be true simultaneously.

Important to understand the difference between case fatality rate VS fatality rate in the infected population.

and there's zero chance any leader of the free world shuts down flights from China as quick as our POTUS did. We could be talking about a million more cases.... In the end, stop whining and unite as one.
