I wonder how MN will feel about illegals getting preference on ventilators over blue hairs..which is exactly what is happening in Sweden.

I agree and think we'll see an improvement in AZ ahead of many other areas of the country.

Or at least I hope so!

Apparently, this wonderful Jesus hasn't been able to save people from this, nor other serious health issues.



He's the same person who started the other thread & suggested that because the Phoenix area is spread out, we have a lower risk than the more dense eastern metros. If that's true, then there should be very few or no cases at all in Maricopa Country.
This made me chuckle. That's not how it works, pal.

Hilarious. Patronizing chuckling as if "it" is an actual thing. We should really leave the mythology out of the discussion.

You're right, let's go back to reading your intellectual musings. We all need to be educated.

Thanks. Facts and science over doctrine and fairy tales.

Anyone that develops a history of changing their opinions runs the risk of losing credibility and when you are dealing with Science you cannot be seen constantly shifting positions or people will lose faith in you. This clown came out and said 2 million would die in the USA now he is saying 100-200,000 will die but he does not want to held to that number.Throw into the equation this guy is very political and I think he cannot be trusted since his record has been historically inaccurate on other viruses as well and you have an idiot who is causing a panic with no scientific evidence to back up what he is saying. Where is the science?This clown is dangerous he just loves the limelight.

It's possible to have both in your life. It doesn't have to be one or the other. If you actually took the time to read and study the Bible, you'd know that science and Christianity go hand in hand. But we are way off topic, so I'll just stop there.

Thanks for your insight, Mr Internet Forum Guy. I now believe your opinions as opposed to the scientific predictions of the nation's leading expert on infectious diseases.

True Science and the Bible can never disagree because God made both.
