My head is literally whirling from the left wing spin cycle... There's no way to reason with some folks. Just remember, these are the same people who still think Trump referred to the coronavirus pandemic as a hoax. It's hard to drive home a point with people who refuse to acknowledge the actual facts.

TBR Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Restricting travel from abroad was an appropriate move. But if there is any evidence that it would ever do anything other than temporarily delay the exponential rise in covid19 cases I have yet to see it. The issue of international travel restictions by all appearances is not much more than a side show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxphan27 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 1 hour ago, Kermit's Luck said: I'm glad those flights were stopped. With the right pandemic response team in place, perhaps they would have even been stopped sooner? We'll never know. Red flags were going up inside our intelligence community about this virus long before there was a significant response from the executive branch conveying the seriousness of the situation. I don't think everything Trump has done in response to the pandemic has been wrong. I disagree with a lot of it - in particular his early messaging of "it's just the flu" "15 cases, zero soon", "keep them on the boat, I like the numbers where they are". This also allowed Fox News to spread similar and dangerous messages that misinformed many of the elderly/compromised that needed to hear the truth sooner. If he would take a back seat to medical professionals re: messaging and stay in the back room working on the stimulus package and getting ventilator/mask/Rx/etc production ramped up to "wartime" levels, I'd give him a high five when this is all done and be glad we made it through. The ending script that will be your Bible has already been written, with one of two outcomes. #1. Through a combo of medicine and policy, the virus is contained quickly with very few lives lost. The stories written will say Trump did everything wrong; thankfully we got lucky. #2. The virus persists and is tough to contain, resulting in a significant loss of life and crippling of the economy. The stories written will say everything Trump did was wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxbow6 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Slope County (ND) 800 people in 1219 square miles. NYC 27000 per square mile. I'll throw this out there......maybe it's partly a disease of density? But I'm thankful Doug closed the rest area 7 miles east of Medora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not heard that, but it sounds like something that side would do. I have no idea what Sean Hannity said; I haven't caught his show for a few months. All I know is Trump never called it a hoax. Sadly, half the country continues to think he did thanks to the nonstop spin effort from the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to mention that Hannity is trying to “shift the blame” for coronavirus onto the Chinese because he a racist! I know it’s every liberal’s fantasy that President Sanders issues executes Order 66 and authorizes the replacement of Fox News with American Pravda, but until then, please seek some help for that Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Hannity was referring to the "new hoax" Trump described in his rally speech in South Carolina I believe it was, at the end of February. You know, the one we've been talking about on here ad nauseum where the left spun Trump's words, and claimed he called the corona virus itself, a hoax. Thanks for posting; this article is yet another perfect example of the left spinning a story, and then spinning comments made about that story. Hopefully some start to see the light; although I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any names (obviously), but I do have a healthy respect for science and scientists so I bet I could have figured something out. OR I would have allowed some experts in the field to provide some recommendations for qualified individuals, and I would have used that guidance to make an informed decision. Of course, I'll never come within a dogleg par-5 of making these decisions so does it really matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
