  1. I wanted to scream at my computer when Vaush said that...."BECAUSE TRUMP IS NOT AN AUTHORITARIAN FASCIST, YOU KNOB!!!!!" The lack of self awareness, on his part, is astounding.

  2.  @thebladeofchaos  In April the caseload was just close to 30 thousand per day, with a death rate of just over 2000 deaths. NOW, the case load is 70 thousand per day with just over 800 deaths per day. That's over 2 times the cases with less than 1/2 the deaths. So the danger, when the disease was new and unknown was almost 3 times as dangerous as it is now, yet many are still in a panic. WHO and the UN has stated, repeatedly, that lockdowns may cause the deaths of tens of millions due to starvation. That abject poverty levels, around the world, has doubled since March and will continue to increase if lockdowns are strictly enforced. That means even MORE starvation, causing deaths and life altering physical damage, especially for children, who may never recover from the ill effects of severe malnutrition. People think that the economy is only important to the rich. It's important to everyone. People die from the effects of a bad economy. The cure, I'm referring to lockdowns, is worse than the disease.

  3.  @thebladeofchaos  Then why has NY City been in lockdown since March? Also, death rates are at less than half of what they were in April, which would mean that hospital stays have also gone down. Worse, Covid has been around since March and everyone has been talking about a second wave and they didn't prepare for it? A reset....pfffft. Macron has been trying to impose Draconian rules since he took office. Look at the yellow vest protests. It's his way. Now he's got a big panic on his hands but Trump is supposedly an idiot for being worried about people panicking. What Macron should have done was to advise people to stay home, take extra precautions and try to get out in the backyard for some sun and exercise. The problem is that the authoritarians think that people are all idiots and only THEY have the ability to save us from ourselves.

  4.  @thebladeofchaos  You forget the exact figures and then throw out these percentages like they should be taken seriously. If you're going to throw out those numbers, which suggests that almost EVERYONE is going to have life long effects from the disease, you'd better back them up. Especially, when you consider that many are asymptomatic or don't even have any symptoms. I stand by my death numbers and you appear to agree with me. However, I can prove it. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Look at the graphs. Cases in mid April was around 80,000 per day at 8,000 deaths. Yesterday, the case count was over 500,000, or 1/2 million cases around the world and the death rate is down and is just over 7,000 per day. Worse, you completely ignore the horrific effects of extreme poverty, malnutrition and starvation. This will be worse than the Covid and people are allowing fear to justify what could be the greatest tragedy in human history. But as long as we can stay safe....that's what's important, right? That is, if the lockdowns even have a great effect.

  5.  @thebladeofchaos  I've got to add this. If the emergency systems in Paris are on the brink, who's fault it that? They've talked about a second wave for months and they're not prepared. Sounds like Macron is no better than Trump. Worse maybe, because American systems are no where near the breaking point. Also, what about the people of Paris. I know that I'm prepared for disaster of any kind. Extra water, food and necessities that will last at least 3 months. What's wrong with them?

  6.  @thebladeofchaos  I've always have at least 3 months worth of supplies on hand. You don't need as much as you'd think, either. Once it's there, you replace as you go. Maybe, it's because I grew up and live in Canada, where the winters can be quite harsh. When I was growing up, on a small farm, we ate from our garden and the animals we raised. I remember being snowed in for weeks and we never worried about food or supplies. I kept it up into my adulthood although I live in a small town now. I can't understand why people aren't ready, just in case. When people were fighting for toilet paper, back in March, I had enough to do me till the end of summer and now I have enough to do me till March. It's like a savings account....but I guess a lot of people don't have that either. I'm 70 years old. I didn't work hard all my life to be afraid to die when I retire. I'm not going to take stupid chances but I'm not going to live in fear either. A little common sense would do the world some good, especially right now.
