Shaun, you must not be seeing any news, remember the Russian conspiracy that the whack's dreamed up. Bob I already miss the days when 5G held the top spot. The evening body counts though, that's a nice touch. Reminded me very much of 1968-1972. About the only thing that would make my flashback complete would be a CGI animation of Harry Reasoner and Walter Cronkite delivering it. ((sigh)) Oh well. I'll burn some incense, put on some "Country Joe and the Fish" and invite the neighbors kids to come burn a couple blunts while I fire up my old blacklight. |

I can't imagine we've cut that in half, but with the StayAtHome mandates, it likely has dropped this month. Really? 3670 times 365 means we killed well over a million people on the roads in 2018. You'd think I'd remember that. Jim Beckman Indeed. The yearly count is around 35,000/year, or about 100/day. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 |

Dan We were warned repeatedly over the last 15-20 years that a pandemic was coming. Trump and his administration were warned several times by different people, even before he was inaugurated, including by government departments. Trump et al ignored the warnings, even disbanding the pandemic group in 2018. He was slow to react to the warnings and events over the last few months, giving us "happy talk" instead of facts ("I want to be a cheerleader"). I want a government that can protect us from foreign attacks or mistakes, instead of one that blames others and won't accept any responsibility for the outcomes. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 The same journowhores that criticized Trump for shutting down travel from China. Now say he didn't do enough. No one with any sense cares what they say. Have some more moonbat soup. |

Surely there has to be a political Google Group where this discussion is more appropriate.

Sure, but there was also a warning in all the years since 1918 or maybe since the plague. But given the high false alarm rate for a will certainly happen eventually warning, what made any specific warning to any specific administration stand out? Except of course with the advantage of hindsight after it happened. |
