Are you opposed to any state receiving more federal dollars back than they contribute? Same difference as a bailout right?
a bailout is different than the business as usual tax in tax out stuff...what motivation does newsome have to open up california if florida and north dakota residents will end up paying the bill? if so might as well wait til there is a vaccine and then send the bill to desantis and burgum
bailouts are called bailouts because you did something wrong.....

I’m also pro vaccination...most of the time. To me it will depend on the type and source. I am totally against DNA vaccines, but am cool with RNA. Not that I’m a vaccination expert, but replicating proteins is different than affecting the genome in my lay person understanding.

I for one am totally against a federal bailout for any state pretty much for any reason. Yzerman19 would you stay in California if Newsome raised the income tax to 35%, 55%, and 75% across the board (assuming you are in the 55 or 75% tax bracket).

I have a question, how many of y'all would take the new Coronavirus vaccine when it comes available? One of the themes surfacing on Twitter and Facebook is that Bill Gates is pushing a world Coronavirus vaccine. He's kind of become persona non grata because he's apparently connected to George Soros.
I get the flu shot every fall and I was given the Pneumonia Vaccine at the VA two years ago.
was waiting for someone to post a poll if you would take it...one saying developed by gates and one saying done by a pharma lab?

I can one up you on that. I was walking out of Publix about a month ago and I saw a guy in the parking lot walking toward the door with long pants, hooded sweatshirt, gloves and safety goggles. All you could see was eyes through the goggles. Even funnier is that I knew the guy. I walked toward him with a big smile on my face. He felt like he had to tell me who he was, because of how he was protected, but I could tell.
haha yeah i saw a family of 3 all with fully tied up hoodies walking around but no goggles so yes you win!

Probably because a vaccine is at least a year or two from being available. That being said, even if a vaccine were developed tomorrow, what makes you think this administration could quickly get it distributed nationwide? They still haven't figured out how to distribute tests or PPE so what makes you think distribution of vaccine wouldn't be an unmitigated boondoggle with the presidents unqualified and corrupt son in law in charge of distribution?
u just don't stop do you...wow

I did a little research, I was bored due to the rain.
1,801 positive cases out of 22,708 tests.
That works out to around 7.8% positive rate. Well within the range of the 3-12% or under the 10% positive rate that is the "benchmark"
without finding out who already has had it what does it matter? until you know the denominator who cares?
waiting for burgum to do the antibody testing of 500 people and see what the % of people that had it and never knew.

He is great at this job......being sportswriter. He recent tweets IMO show he's out of his lane as it pertains to ND and this region from a livelihood standpoint and the direction we are heading in ND.
How long can a failing hardcopy local paper afford to keep him and TM on staff if there's no local sports to cover at any level thru the next academic year?
and as mafia man can vouch for...one of the first thing companies pull when revenue is down is advertising.

She is no more an expert than I and Has less experience than Keikla. I review the medical literature, CDC reports and Reports from the state health dept as well as pay attention and learn from our colleague (Keikla) in NY. I don’t pay attention to some activist who treats Covid patients in her office. Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin is on our list of treatment options but doesn’t seem to be the “game changer” we initially thought.
everything that is wrong with covid19 is summed up in this sentence of yours 'I don't pay attention to some activist who treats covid patients in her office"....what the hell does that even mean?

is this lady social media noise?

What you describe is anecdotal. The fact that someone was given Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin and improved doesn’t mean it was necessarily due to the medications.
Weigh your friends story against Keikla’s experience in a NY hospital in the center of the NY Covid outbreak and the collected evidence of other physicians, PA’s, Nurses and Nurse Practioners reported in the medical literature. What is your source? Those of us in the medical profession are curious. Your comments, (other than your friends recovery) is social media noise. -
Just walked thru downtown GF...For all those whoa is me articles about all these bars and restaurants that were forcibly closed and "not sure how we're gonna make it stories if this goes another week" it's amazing how many are still closed by CHOICE? Level 10, Oreillys, B and B, and Half Brothers are all closed (yet inside half brothers there were about five guys (i think all with manicured beards) either doing some form of podcast or video game tournament while drinking beer.
Something tells me that they got their SBA grant money that i think they don't have to pay back as long as they don't stop paying their employees or their employees are loving the idea of getting more money not to work or a combo of the two......which is really sad.

I like that the article mentions differences in lifestyles now compared to 1969. Not that people always stayed at home back then, but it's a big difference in percentage of meals at restaurants instead of home. I would think rates of travel are significantly higher now too. I think there are common behaviors now that make any pandemic more likely to spread than the same virus would have back then.
There have been a lot of comparisons about the covid response compared to H1N1 or the H3N2. New flu strains tend to be more deadly, because nobody has antibodies. But even then, it's still a flu. Severe flu vs mild flu still follows the same treatment regimen, the difference is the extent of treatment needed. There's also a certain level of confidence (at least there was by the time H1N1 rolled around) that a vaccine would be possible; it was just a matter of the time needed to get the specific strain.
That's not the same for covid. It was clear from our very first covid patient that the treatment regimen for the flu wasn't going to cut it. I think there is a large amount of uncertainty and fear when tried and true gets thrown out the window. First we tried standard flu treatment (huge fail), then hydroxychloroquine (huge fail), then it was about actemra and immune-modulators (semi-fail), then anticoagulation (success, thank goodness), then convalescent plasma (success), then remdesivir (supposed success...we'll see). Now it's a combo of anticoagulation plus plasma plus remdesivir. And every hospital system is trying different things, many totally off the wall (famotidine 120mg three times daily?!?!). And while a vaccine is under works, no one really knows if it's something that will be attainable and/or successful.
I think the "unknown" factor has played an extremely large role in why things have played out the way that they have.
i know one person that got the rona....guy in his 40's in Texas (RRHS class of 89 i think)...couldn't beat it...was going back to the hospital for the second time bc he was having a hard time breathing...asked about hydroxy and zpack...he said give it to me...within 5 hours he wanted to walk/run home....so let's stop this huge fail stuff. There are hundreds if not thousands of people around the country that this combo worked for and just bc 500 elderly people were given the combo when they were already about 97 percent dead died 10 hours later doesn't mean it's a huge fail.

Let us not forget that the American revolution was fought over taxes...yes it simplifies it, but taxes were a central player. We will be facing staggering taxes coming out of this...with fewer people paying taxes...35 million unemployed...
im sure the thought of bailing out the state economies of NY and CA and IL via federal tax dollars is really appealing to the red state residents.
just remember how jacked up CA is....in San Francisco, poverty level is $117k/year...
i keep asking people about why turn to the federal gov if california/illinois wants to shut down for the next 3 months...if you want to do that bail yourself out...go the bernie/aoc progressive tax rate (35, 55, 85) and raise the money yourself...don't make florida pay for nyc being run by communists. i'm sure bloomberg would have no problem paying 85% of ALL income to Albany?

Federal supersedes state, which supersedes local government. Local policy does not guide federal policy. Failure at the federal level trickles down to the local levels. Failure at the local level rarely trickles up to the federal level. For pandemics and natural disasters however, the precedent is that states governors have authority over their individual state, with guidance and support from the federal government.
Mind you, I am not advocating either way for shut-downs or opening up, I am indifferent at this point. LA isn't open because just like the guidelines for shutting down the guidelines for opening up are not clear. The health and economic impact of opening up LA is still very much unclear. Does the government have great confidence in the transmission and mortality rates enough to make such a decision that has proven impossible to slow down once it takes hold? Is the economic impact risk of them becoming the next NYC outweighing the definitive economic impact of a longer lock down? The government has the resources to gauge the likely hood and answer that, not me.
lot of words for ....not answering the question.

I am not blaming any of them, but I will direct blame towards government if people try to act like media and scientists are the ones in charge of this country. Political affiliations aside, there will be people going down on the wrong side of history for their action/inaction and the wrong messages/policy they spread.
Compared to what America has been through, I think we can all agree that a multi-billion dollar mobilization and prevention effort as an early response would have lead to a drastically lower widespread impact on America (both economically and health wise). This in combination with a plan in place with guidelines on what constitutes as necessary for such an effort for each locality so places that do not need to shut down don't unless necessary. (This is a complex measure to predict, but we will have a baseline pandemic to go off of in the future at least).
the past is the past....why isn't LA open right now...at 1pm central time...answer the question...

USA is currently pulling away slowly from China and moving to India for our cheap labor force. A lot of opportunities there I think, like one of the mods said, deny payment to china of our bonds once we no longer need to rely on them. Economic devastation will be paid for the same as how the economic devastation of war is paid for. Likely by tax reform.
I do not think this will be a foothold for socialism. Big businesses will weather the storm, take on record low debt and sell their high interest debt to the government/rid themselves of junk bonds. Small businesses that were on the verge of failure and can't take on extra loans will be bought out by these big businesses. Moving closer to monopolies, but it represents opportunity for them to have explosive growth and creation of many more jobs once this is over.
I hope this does highlight the deficiencies in our LOCAL government with regards to preparation and planning. I hope it also highlights how fragile america's bottom line is with the plethora of low income american people.
garcetti anyone.....you can run on wet sand in la but not on dry sand...la should be open tonight? but nope...two more months

People can be very happy with very little if they have personal freedoms, a job they don’t despise, and a place of their own. Stay off the social media and Reality TV.
a few beers at the lake over the weekend, maybe a camping trip with the family or the boys every so often. Local sporting event and a pizza. Dreaming of a new snow mobile or truck. A couple steaks on the grill.
the elites mock this life, but the freedom and satisfaction of a simple life well-lived has sustained us for generations.
well said.
