Yup, unsurprisingly the media has turned this into a "MAGA crowd vs. the world" scenario. I know plenty of non-Trump supporters who think this lockdown is ridiculous.

And the effect this has is apparent - for any fence sitters who don't like Trump, they are going to be pushed into the "keep it shutdown" crowd.

If only the sheep could see it.

Don't believe ANYTHING that yahoo news/huffington post prints. They're blatantly biased against the President and his policies. They use only biased sources...hollywood 'entertainers', napalitano, carrey, 'former' administration monkeys, etc.

Yeah, Yahoo is absolutely awful. I apologize for posting that. Just pure shit.

Gives you an idea though what the clueless out there are reading.

Why are you posting any polls at all?

Utterly meaningless

What does the corona virus have to do with that?
But to make it simple, it would seem the oceans are already right there and waiting.

This is so true. Even Fox is starting to fall into that rabbit hole.

Can people who have recovered from Covid get it again?


The most recent article from The Wall Street Journal has this to say about people who initially test negative, but then positive, so although there is evidently some indication that the disease can be difficult for the body to get rid of, that may be the reason for why it looks like there is reinfection.

====================================

As they struggle with the nuances of immunity, medical experts are troubled by reports of people who appeared to recover from Covid-19, test free of the coronavirus, and then sicken again. South Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it is investigating 160 cases, worried that the virus may reactivate to cause relapses or reinfections.


I don't know if this relates exactly to the seeming appearance of re-infection in some instances, but apparently the virus finds refuge in men's testicles. What a kick to the...

the problem is that the mental midgets running the show insist on a one-size fits all solution to a wildly varying landscape and thats what pissing the people off who are actually intelligent enough to do some critical thinking

Hence why our Constitution is constructed the way it is.
Remarkable many of the governors are completely helpless or, the other direction, have abrogated so many rights in the quest to 'do the right thing', despite many portions of the states they're from, are not living in stacked-up urban environments like NYC or, have multiple malls/shopping centers.

Look at San Diego County, the conservatives inherently don't like gov telling them what to do, and the lefties want to go surfing, and everyone just wants to take a walk on the beach or, hike a trial.

A couple of pages back, PASig asked what was the number of signatures required to actually recall the Governor of Michigan.
I believe it is 575K.
Current recall count on Change.Org is pushing 295K.
So much for bullshit polls saying people dont support the protests.

I was so bored I called Jake from State Farm just to talk to someone. He asked me what I was wearing.

2019: Stay away from negative people.

2020: Stay away from positive people.

The world has turned upside down. Old folks are sneaking out of the house, and their kids are yelling at them to stay indoors!

You think it's bad now? In 20 years our country will be run by people home schooled by day drinkers!

This virus has done what no woman had been able to do: cancel all sports, shut down all bars, and keep men at home!!!

Do not call the police on suspicious people in your neighborhood! Those are your neighbors without makeup and hair extensions!

Since we can't eat out, now's the perfect time to eat better, get fit, and stay healthy. We're quarantined! Who are we trying to impress? We have snacks, we have sweatpants, I say we use them!

Day 7 at home and the dog is looking at me like, "See? This is why I chew the furniture!"�

Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep washing our hands???

I never thought the comment "I wouldn't touch him/her with a 6 foot pole,� would become a national policy, but here we are!

Me: Alexa what's the weather this weekend?
Alexa: It doesn't matter, you're not going anywhere.

Can everyone please just follow the government instructions so we can knock out this coronavirus and be done?! I feel like a kindergartner who keeps losing more recess time because one or two kids can't follow directions.

I swear my fridge just said "what the hell do you want now?"�

When this is over,what meeting do I attend first, Weight Watchers or AA?

Quarantine has turned us into dogs. We roam the house all day looking for food. We are told if we get too close to strangers. And we get really excited about car rides.

Question...

Many states have stay at home orders. Only essential workers from the DHS and CDC recommendations are allowed to be out, everyone else must stay home except to get food. I don't see the media on that list.

How are they exempt? They seem to have no problem being the watchdog for the Government.

Inmates committing crimes after coronavirus release ‘unconscionable’: de Blasio

It is “unconscionable” that Rikers Island inmates who were released due to coronavirus concerns are committing new crimes, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday.

“I think it’s unconscionable just on a human level that folks were shown mercy and this is what some of them have done,” the mayor said during his morning briefing Monday, which came on the heels of a Post report outlining the issue.

I’d call DeBlasio an idiot but that’s an insult to idiots. Damn.

Is this guy serious?

The problem with every single leftist who dreams of utopia is spelled out right there. He or she simply has no concept or relationship whatsoever with the human condition.
