That graph is unreliable since this country did not start testing as early as the other nation's am I right. Ours can be much worse.

Yea, I agree. I have a hard time not getting a dig in at Big Bird, but yea, I agree.

Yea, that's very much possible. We still don't have much testing relative to our population.

Well that is beautiful. On a normal night thousands of folks would be passing a potential group of sick people to take that infection on their subway car, their homes, their jobs. This is why desperate actions are needed to stay home as often as possible.

Are you bi-polar or something? It's one thing to ask/require businesses to close and people to social distance, it's a whole other universe to tell people they can't leave their homes even to get groceries to a family member in need or to go make sure nobody has broken into your store

health. So when people can't pay their bills, stress over it and become depressed

be careful. "TCV."

...and i understand now.


i'll keep 'my images' to a lull around you...

Hey, when I challenge you, I challenge your logic and I do so without being deliberately insulting. My logic in refuting you is sound. I get it you don't like the politician. So you don't like that he is telling you. I get that. I will overlook your bipolar crack and blame the stress over the crisis for you being disagreeable.
