Speaking of democrats:
Trump/Barr DOJ continues to defend First Amendment rights
"The executive orders prohibit the church from holding a sixteen-person, socially distanced gathering in a 225-seat church but allow similar secular conduct, such as a gathering of sixteen lawyers in a large law firm conference room. Therefore, the Justice Department argues, the governor’s executive orders may constitute a violation of the church’s constitutional rights to the free exercise of religion. "
Not sure why they thought this was fair. Why can lawyers gather in a conference room, but the same number of folk can't gather in a church?

KSDK, a local NBC affiliate, reported in late April that a man named Jared Totsch received a copy of these tipsters' records and shared them on Facebook. When a KDSK reporter reached out to him to point to him that these tipsters are now worried about retaliation, Totsch responded that was partly the point."
Delicious. [/B]

This is the best. The fool who caused so much hysteria gets his just deserts (this is the correct spelling in this saying: fight me).
Logic says yes, but look at South Korea and Japan though, they're densely populated and doing considerably better percentage wise. They also started mass testing early on and quarantining people, they didn't play the "this isn't happening, we've contained it" games.
Also, it seems like the UK has shot up to first place among the European countries for number of covid deaths.

Why have the US and UK done so badly? I think population density of urban areas plays a big role.

Japan had the greatest number of deaths from COVID-19, by far, a couple of days ago. Tokyo remained largely the same and they didn't lock down like the US and other places. We should have seen roughly 4 times the number of cases and deaths from Tokyo based on NY's performance and Tokyo's density+age. But we didn't. There are theories floating around: Japan simply didn't test as well the US and NY is grossly over-inflating their numbers.

Japan looks to be on an overall downward slope:Which day are you referring to as "greatest number of deaths"?
Also, you do understand that if Japan keeps having days like those, it goes against the WHO's, Sweden's, and my arguments about lockdowns being counterproductive, right? Many do not have an interest in seeing Japan's daily death numbers spike including me (especially me).
Just to be clear, I'm messing around. I've said before I don't think Trump or Cuomo has blood on their hands, my comment was me making a joke and taking a shot at those who say Trump has blood on his hands.
Yes obviously, the reverse would have to be true.
And for the record I don't think a single American has blood on their hands over any death due to this virus.

Figurately, Cuomo does have blood on his hands by housing and/or re-housing positive-testing COVID-19 elderly people with other elderly folks which is among the most disastrous of policies in the entire COVID-19 response. He is directly responsible for deaths of many elderly because of this. At the time when I posted the story on this, the deaths resulting from that one policy constituted a third of NY's deaths (I am fuzzy on this...I've seen so many numbers over the last 8 weeks it's absurd).
Any policy from any leader, including Trump, implementing to lockdown the standard population resulted in increasing deaths. So Trump has blood on his hands, too.
It's just shit decisions across the board.
