Somehow I doubt your sincerity.

Now we know what the Obama Regime has been up to since the impeachment hoax flopped.
“Break out Alinsky’s ‘Rules for Radicals’ my comrades!”

Both he and Michelle have spoken up about African American frustration and the pursuit of justice. Neither have decried the violence, arson, rioting and looting.

Various mayors, governors, and community leader were aggressive (some would say overly aggressive) v the virus but inept, passive and impotent v the looting/arson/murder/riots.

Ironically, George Floyd had reportedly turned his life around (after a 5-year prison term for armed robbery) and was gainfully employed at a restaurant until it was shut down under the very aggressive Covid-19 lockdowns in Minnesota. His subsequent apprehension was for passing counterfeit bills.

I'm sure they were self-protecting against Covid-19. Besides rioting confers immunity against Covid-19.

The mass media needs to report this.

That prison term was his 5th conviction. Doesn’t excuse the police actions but he was hardly a “gentle giant” as some people have portrayed him.

I've been holed up for 10 weeks except for essential stuff and helping others. WHY should I have to go to an URGENT CARE to get a WELL test (antibodies)? That is completely daft and ridiculous. There are rapid stick, home test that take minutes (or the results are posted to a secure web site). We just don't have any. I'm not going to the one rite aid on LI's drive through for a test, again, in line with actively SICK people picking up prescriptions. Sure. Sounds like a plan.

Again, go to a SICK visit to get a WELL test?! That is idiotic. Show me some links. We are wayyy behind on antibody tests and are only using FDA approved ones by MEDICAL appt. I think you are both missing the point...by a lot.

My coworkers doctor called her and asked if she wanted antibody test. She’s like you want me to come there and get that test? Young girl lives alone hasn’t been out at all. She’s like “nah I’m good” (half her family in NY has Corona though)

But we’ve been told over and over by doctors and scientists that masks and social distancing works. You don’t believe that? Lol, you’re a joke. Now you’re too scared to go get a test?
