The Free Beacon did report her alleged donations, Red State did, and Red State did not provide a citation. I searched for her donation history and could not find it. So if she has a history of donations to Democratic candidates, then why are the FEC filings not being widely-reported on right-wing media? Moreover, Trump has a history of donating to Democratic candidates too, and he is not a Democrat, so what exactly would her alleged donation history prove? How many sextogenerian liberal Democrats do you think are taking medical advice from Trump on Fox News?

Make sure you send your results to the Mesa County police department and let me know how they accept your findings.

While your at it, let them know your good friend, dadudemon, has a differing opinion and I object to your negative findings:

You're not wrong but my point was about the increase in testing after re-opening.

Despite Germany increasing daily testing after they opened back up, their daily new cases and daily new deaths still dropped after opening. In most data sets, you see the opposite trend - more testing, more cases.

With estimates being between 10x and 85x more people having active SARS-CoV-2 cases (an active infection, with or without symptoms) than actual test results show, increasing testing almost always shows and uptick in new daily cases and better tracking on daily deaths - more tests, more positives.

But we didn't see that. Despite that, the major news outlets mocked Germany and even lied about there being an increase of daily new cases.

I think because Germany has been on top of the Testing, Tracing, Isolating from early on, so them releasing their lockdown should be fine.

South Korea also had an easy lockdown because they got on top of the Testing early on.

And you were right about Japan doing well without a lockdown (or much testing). But its because the people themselves abide by Social Distancing. We tried going that route before the lockdown here (UK), but people werent doing it (in all fairness though we are very densely populated). Hopefully we will social distance as the lockdown releases, otherwise we will be looking at a second wave.

you mean that locking the barn door before the horse escapes truly matters? interesting theory...

Japan is more densely populated. Considerably more. They just have a more collectivist/societal responsibility attitude than the UK which is much more individualist. Turns out the "I'm alright, Jack" approach doesn't do anyone any good during a pandemic. When this is all over and they look back on country's responses I wouldn't be surprised if there's a correlation between how high death tolls and countries with lots of panic buying.

About Japan:

Live feeds are always up in some places in Japan. At least in Tokyo, they never socially distanced or shut down. The only thing I saw happen was the voluntary removal of all temp visa holders that were expiring soon such as my nephew being "strongly encouraged" to GTFO.

Strange..

Well that on it's own has not worked anywhere else. Even with lockdowns and social distancing in place.

There are rumors that Japan (and this is not something new for them...the US has their own problems so I'm not casting stones in a glass house) purposefully under-tested to keep their numbers looking good so they didn't have to shut down.

With new figures being released that show absolute deaths, for an cause, actual were slightly down for this same reporting period last year and the average 4 years prior, that indicates that Japan's choice may have been correct.

HOWEVER...if the Japanese government also controls the collection of that data, they may have also influenced those numbers, too.

So I don't know what to think about Japan's situation. I am also hesitant to use Japan as a beaming example of how to handle an aggressive SARS virus.

^ Ah I see.

😂

^^holy crap it's true 😱

embarrassed trumper 'no YOU' deflection in 3...2...1...

THE IMHE has updated it's model with the current numbers/trend. They're now predicting a death total of a bit over 143K. Down by about 3,700. Not a huge drop comparatively speaking, but a drop is good regardless. Obviously this subject to change depending.

that would mean we already passed the halfway-point. hooray!

Yes. But it still means about 50K more people are going to die if true 🙁

Accurate gif

So this thing targets some groups over others.

OK. I'm calling it now: recombinant-viral delivered CRISPr edits on the CCR5 gene that they were developing to immunize themselves against an ethnic bioweapon that in fact hits the wrong part of the genome and causes chemokine dysregulation leading to a painful death.

Chicago church of immigrants to hold Memorial Day-themed service this Sunday in defiance of state's harsh lockdown orders

Good for them.

I do have to say it's lucky the virus is mostly found in small businesses, but places like Menards and Home Depot are just virus free.

Your nards are virus free?

Good for you.

Church refuses to close during lockdown, angering locals. Now it has been burned to the ground.

Awful. Totally unacceptable.

"I bet you stay home now you hypokrits"

Lol.

Bet it was the city officials that did it. They're glorified thugs, many of them, and often at odds with religious leaders.

Judging by how whoever did it spelled the word "hypocrites" it seems perhaps Mississippi should reopen its schools ASAP.
