I'm still a tad confused about the title of this thread. Not sure what Friday has to do with anything.
Again, the whole democrat narrative is that orange man failed to contain the Coronavirus and now many are infected.

If all these people were supposedly infected, enough time will have passed by the end of this week for the most vulnerable to be in intensive care.

This narrative is everywhere. You cannot deny it.

No system is perfect and there is no way to completely keep everyone safe. What we’re doing now will have a lot of intended consequences and it will also, not keep everyone safe.

Come on. People that provide a vital service to the community are not being encouraged to stay home. Show me where in this country where health care workers are being told not to see their patients?


And lots of high risk people live with lower risk people. I really think a 14 day shutdown is the best way to go. Putting elderly people under house arrest is not.

Everyone is being encouraged to stay home.

14 day shut down of what services? Which people in the service industry should forgo their income for two weeks and how do we even know that two weeks would be enough? Which small businesses should go out of business? How many businesses will go out of business due to the recommendation that everyone stay home? And how will the virus be contained when everyone is at their local grocery store anyway, contaminating it while trying to hoard supplies so that they can quarantine? We are not being very logical or thinking about the long term big picture.

According to this guy, a university in North Carolina and Fort Dietrich are also involved in that mess:

On another occasion the bat peed on him and he self-quarantined again.

So if you're a doctor at this particular lab, did you know that you can make some extra money on the side? After you lab animals die, sell them to the meat market across the street.

Considering the fact that the Chinese government it the way that it is, we will probably never know the truth about how this thing came out. At this point, China's despotic overlords are blaming it on the US military. Fountain of truth, that Chinese government!!
There is no evidence for this or any conspiracy nonsense. Scientists have been predicting
a world-wide pandemic for years.

Sure he did....just like someone called the governor from the WH and yelled at him....don't know who that person from the WH was/is, but dammit, he called and yelled at me.

Yes it’s happens. I understand the administration of meds. The extra services or paying for the bed next to mine -well, not too happy. But our medical enterprise is all a scam anyhow.
And it’s true - mechanics try to sell what you don’t need.

The thing is if the restrictions aren't heeded now, they will become more severe. Public health threat. Restrictions, in one week, have gotten more severe. There is no reason to believe they won't increase if the curve isn't flattening out.

No, I fully get it. What you don't get is that even though the governor does not have jurisdiction over federal employees, he can still talk to the boss of that federal agency and say hey, bob, we are going to get an influx of people coming through the airport, you may want to look into ramping up your personnel for the next few weeks. Unless you're saying that the federal government does not talk with any governor?

Default Governor Cuomo - I'm Impressed

After watching Gov. Cuomo speech about what he is doing in New York to protect New Yorkers, I was about as impressed as a Republican can be of a Democrat.

Dems- you should nominate him over your current losers (excepting Tulsi as I would consider her as well).
