maqroll Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I'm considering leaving the country if Trump wins in November. I'm looking at Uruguay as a potential landing place. I can speak rudimentary Spanish, it's a stable country with a good climate, good standard of living, fairly liberal. Of course, because I'm from the US, they might not let me in! We have sunk so low.

maqroll Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 New England, along with New York and New Jersey, despite being the epicenter of the outbreak early on, are now more on par with European countries in terms of having a handle on it. Sadly, people who live here cannot travel to Europe because the other states are so derelict. I have European friends here who can't go home to visit family. God forbid any of their family gets sick because they wouldn't be able to fly back home. People who need to travel there for business can't. Absolute shambles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t get too cocky about the rate of deaths yet, it lags a spike in infection by about three weeks. Let’s check back in at the start of August.

villakram Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Errr, the chart is the political beast here, designed to imply some sort os superiority based on the chosen statistic. I think that deaths are the (a) more relevant, and (b) more reliable statistic related to this disease. That this statistic tells almost the exact opposite story says more about the increasing wish of people to move beyond the pandemic and now use the current situation to advance various political/economic/social goals. My issue with people losing their mind over covid19 has nothing to do with any of the Trumpian silliness. Lot's of projecting going on around here.

chrisp65 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 He’s got to be one of the worst personalities on the planet. I don’t mean ‘celebrity personality’ or ‘pretend bad guy’, I mean he’s actually just a genuinely horrible person. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted July 6, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2020 Does he even realize that Bubba Wallace wasn't the one who discovered it or made the complaint? Is he supposed to apologize for being black and being distraught when people told him there was a noose in his garage? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit I agree with is a deaths chart is maybe more reliable/ accurate in telling the story. Though they lag the reality. The rest no. Deaths follow infections by about 3 weeks in terms of chart shape. They do not tell an opposite story. Neither deaths nor infection charts are political. They are numbers of medical records of deaths and positive infections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
