So when are you moving?

I’m here for family obligations, in case it was your business. I will not remain here after that. Any nice red states you would recommend for me? Preferably near a beach. Thanks!

^^^ Exhibit A: mocking. It is how a leftist responds when he is met with a valid point which he is unable to refute.

So......

Instead of ridiculing, why don't you just try to give us your take on why intentionally skewing statistics to make it look like there's more cases than there actually are is justified in your opinion?


This isn't a conspiracy theory.....it's what they're on record admitting to.

Come on, you do lots of that yourself. But yes, you're claiming that there is a conspiracy going on, so generally, people will mock conspiracies, since such things shouldn't be taken seriously.

If you really believe that, I feel sorry for you, but I think you are just taking the **** more than anything else.

Again, it's not a conspiracy.

It's what they're actually admitting to.

In essence you would be providing evidence that the country should open up due to a dropping mortality rate. Virginia would be helping the Trump administration argument of re-opening by lowering the mortality rate and there is nothing to fear.

What we do know is the case and deaths are off, we have many more cases than known due to poor testing and more deaths due to lack of knowledge in February concerning stroke, blood clots, and heart attacks contributed to COVID-19.
That makes sense but they aren't talking about death much. They keep saying we need 14 straight days of less cases before re-opening.

Why your here is not the inquiry but all you do is post false statements which multiple posters have discredited with facts. I'm sure you can find something red that suits your taste maybe on the Gulf Coast they don't seem to worry much about health concerns...

The panhandle of Florida or Alabama should work well. Similar policies that she favors are in place and the data on health, wealth inequality, social mobility, etc show clearly how such policies are a complete failure.
