For those of you defending the measures that have been taken against Covid, what would constitute good news? I see tons of cases with hospitalization rates and deaths declining or steady as a good thing. Why don't you?

As I’ve said, they are all corrupt. Vote on policy everyone.

You wouldn't know what is and isn't malpractice so just keep rolling on the floor laughing, you're good at that.

Nope, but if you called for the business owner to lose their business and be shut down that would be cancel culture.

How dare you assume gender. You'd be shamed as a bigot in many left circles for that in 2020.

And there's that lovely pattern from the left we have been seeing. Disagree with me and I call for your job. How pathetic.

It's 09/23/2020 and I've yet to hear a single politician lay out criteria for when masks will come off and restrictions will be lifted. Are those of you who support the mitigation techniques being implemented ok with indefinite changes?

So you are of the belief that anyone who votes for Trump endorses his every word?

Again, why didn't we do all of this each year we had a novel virus if it's so effective?

Yes it is. Understanding that the news you are getting on social media is specific to what their algorithm knows will hold YOUR attention the longest is concerning to say the least. Especially when they know that negative news holds your attention the longest. We are all literally living a different reality because we aren't hearing the same news.

I've made this point many time in this thread and it seems to fall on deaf ears. Without some new information proving the way we've handled things for decades wrong, the approach we took(are taking) has zero basis in science and was a complete overreaction that has ruined countless lives. This is unacceptable to me. If some new information had come to light about quarantining healthy people being more effective than quarantining sick people, than our approach would be "following the science" without said groundbreaking study, we were throwing darts in the dark. Logical people have seen these inconsistencies and then wonder what the motivations for this new approach could have been.

And that is exactly what many of the logical among us were saying in April when the media was on it's fear world tour with their death rates of 4-5-6% The early numbers were skewed ridiculously high because the cases were mostly occurring in elderly people who are highest risk.

In addition to the things you mentioned, early outbreaks were nearly exclusively among the population most vulnerable to this. As it makes it's way through the rest of us, the survival rate will continue to climb.

With many of the schools being open and sports happening. Has there been any sort of increase in hospitalizations or deaths in people under 60 years old?

I’m sure it speaks to their opinion on their constituents a bit, but I think it harkens back to a point I’ve made before on this thread, politicians are awful people. Across the board. They see a fear or a talking point that works and they’ll hammer it regardless of whether or not it’s ethical or even true. They’ll say whatever they need to win an election. That’s why policy is the only thing that I vote on. What will you to do change lives with your vote and your influence? Your personal life means nothing to me.

You know for a lawyer, you make a lot of immature, weak and petty arguments. Hope you don't charge your clients for these sort of arguments.

I'm not sure about the above, but if you don't think that people's minds are being manipulated in an extremely sophisticated manner, watch the Netlix Documentary The Social Dilemma. I've already deleted most of my social media apps.

I’m firm enough in my belief that it would be a human rights travesty that even though in your scenario it favors “my side”, I’m still against it for all of the reasons I laid out.

The electoral college is a trump cult creation? Wow, trump is more powerful than we all thought, able to affect the voting in the United States so many years before he was born.

You’re pointing out flaws in a system while touting another system that would make the problems you state exponentially worse.

In a country as regionalized as ours in its voting patterns? Yes, 1 citizen, 1 vote is too simplistic and would lead to an absolute disaster.

Cute

If you weren’t busy rolling on the floor maybe you’d learn a thing or two by reading this thread.

What state do you live in?

100 people are in a room, 51 of them vote to kill the other 49. Democracy has flaws.
