    Because of not correcting fools and just walking away instead of being sensible adults and saying kids and idiots, stop it. Case in point:

    This guy is a fool but people will pussy foot around this instead of challenging him. Result? More of them. Its always that guys is somebody else's problem, or the authorities should deal with it, not me. What if he has a gun is the latest escalation of letting stupid dogs lie.

    I guess it is something to so with so many cultures and languages having to co-exist during migration. If you don't understand, just smile, very American. This is a good strategy except a lot of normal behavior correction of fools, weirdos and jerks does not happen as it should.

    My girlfriend (emergency room nurse) lost her best friend (42 years old) a nurse also to Covid-19. Longest shift she's had were 3 straight days (twice) during this Pandemic. She's lucky because I let her live in my condo that's a few blocks away from her hospital. Thus, she was able to go home quickly and take power naps before doing another shift.

    They now have more staff (recent graduates of nursing school) and more PPE. She's now doing almost her normal shift.

    In France, a neighbour I didn't know too well that lives a few houses down the street...he died from Covid-19 while on vacation in Italy. His house is now vacant and recently up for sale.

    In addition, I have 3 close relatives that are front line workers (doctor, nurse, x-rays) working in 3 different hospitals in the U.S....its been ugly and some of their stories have been horrific...

    Reminds me of the stories I heard when I was in the military.

    In fact, one time she was in a cafeteria with other nurses / doctors and she did a facetime...

    They looked like they just came back from a war zone but without the blood on their uniform. She already told me she will be seeing a psychologist soon online to help her deal with some issues from what she's recently experienced.

  3. I provided receipts to back up my vlisms earlier in the thread, so check those out while you are attempting to gaslight me for not being dumb.

    Ok if they are truly massaging the numbers then the question becomes why? So why?

    Incompetence, arrogance and ignorance. Throw in unwillingness and you have a pandemic going strong.

    Yes, the stupidity from the anti-science crowd is stunning. But it's a symptom of this era of Trump, the idiot in chief.

    ... more people are dying currently in the states that reopened too soon than the states that didn't.

    The only conspiracy at the moment in this country is one of stupidity.

    ROFLMAO The science AND medical are guessing like everyone else. THEY were the ones saying “MASK WON’T HELP”. Now they are screaming “wear one” it will stop the virus. THEY were the ones saying “HEAT FROM SUMMER WILL KILL IT” Now they are trying to explain why it didn’t. Are they idiots. If Trump is maybe they are too?

    But moneytrust doesn’t trust them. He believes they are massaging the numbers UPWARDS. My inclination was the exact opposite. I figured they were massaging them DOWNWARDS and NOT reporting all the caes. I am waiting on his answer why UPWARDS.

    It was said (heat / hot weather) may kill or slow Covid 19. Not it will.
