So quite the contrary, our standards are high because we value human life and public health.
Sheep. Baker said wear a yellow shirt on Wednesdays cause it keeps covid away.

You can stay there as basically everyone I know is looking to move out of the state.

Good job explaining that people losing their jobs and a high death rate equals a good governor. So do you think Trump has done a great job with this?

That's reflective of your social sphere, not necessarily reality. Your ramblings about yellow shirts suggest you might be short on the latter.

You chew on this fact, and decide for yourself: Both the US and Korea had their first COVID death on the same day. Korea now has just >300 total deaths. The US has >160,000. One country jumps on clusters wherever they may reappear, the other goes about its business and dismisses >1000 deaths/day (during this super hot summer...when it was supposed to "go away").

I rest my case. Self-evident to all but the fact-deniers and conspiracy theorists.

Trump hasn't done a good job, and I'm convinced that his insistence that schools must reopen will be his downfall.

That said, up to this point, his poor handling of this situation has only been a small part of the problem. (That will change if he doesn't change his stance about schools.)

There are tons of morons who refuse to follow the rules; they are the main problem, and I don't think there's a realistic solution. Even when/if there's a vaccine, the same people/morons will refuse it.

I think you're being very generous with your assessment.

When at least 30% of the country follows him lock-step, his near constant misinformation campaign allows the morons to 'validate' their moronic position. My opinion, of course.
