I think your comment about trump not handling the crisis well is BS while praising Reagan. Was a little hypocritical but your opinion is fine.

So the coronavirus is worse than HIV/aids? Yeah, you have no political bias lol.
One of the Boston hospitals is being converted and will be dedicated to treating only COVID-19 patients. Things are happening fast in the Northeast now it seems.
I couldn’t possibly have imagined anything like this just a few weeks ago.

We’re about to find out why the adults in the room warned about this in January while our nation’s leader was calling it a hoax in late February.
Our health care infrastructure is substandard for a country of this size and wealth. We’re fine day-to-day but severely under equipped to handle a nationwide pandemic, heaven forbid an epidemic.
So you are saying that HIV/aids had more of an economic impact on our country and daily lives than Coronavirus? Yeah, you have no political bias lol.
Actually, my point was that scientists have been warning loud and clear that this virus spreads easily and we need to take steps immediately to prevent and mitigate its spread.
Obviously HIV/aids was deadlier to those that contracted it, but was not nearly as easy to spread in the general population and has killed far less people than the flu.
So yeah, Coronavirus (a strand of the flu virus) will probably result in more deaths over time than HIV/Aids.
Gotta love all of you who support the war machine and keep pushing for the idiots like Pelosi and Schumer to be back into power. You will get what you deserve. The left and the right have both been telling you.
do not tell me the first damn thing about a hoax. The donor class has been giving you points to run with and you take the bait hook like and sinker for years now.
America today has some of the most politically retarded I’ve ever seen. It’s unbelievable. Never say again you want an outsider or someone who’s going to go head to head with the establishment. Some of you are just partisan hacks.
You will get corruption soon enough. And you deserve it.

You would probably be surprised how conservative I lean on many issues....guns, death penalty, welfare, free college for all BS, etc.
Just an FYI, a Pandemic is worse than an epidemic. Pandemic is when the disease spreads across continents.
Morg always bringing the heat on the board. At least we can rely on that right now.
The democrats punted the election because they’re the American know nothing Party reincarnated. They don’t have a message, their platform has no plan. Open borders and identity politics are not a plan. I’m with her is not a plan.
They’re well aware the war machine of media and unelected officials are allowing them to continue with no message. Academia is not educating and covering all the bases for them.
The donor class on the left was not going to allow Bernie Sanders. They preferred trump, so they all went in on Biden to stop Bernie. Now they’re propping up one of the most corrupt men that ever existed in politics Joe Biden who’s also a racist and someone who’s been bought and paid for by China. He also has early onset dementia and the media who questioned Trumps fitness now say Biden’s mental health is out of bounds. But they know he can’t win.
And the moderate left, which is the reason the party is so out of control now pushes a warmonger corrupt Alzheimer’s patient like Biden.
Several intelligent well thought out leftist who know how corrupt the media are have tried to sound the horn, but the leftist (like the ones in this thread) still only see R and D. They’re too old to understand the modern climate.
These types still go to CNN for news. It’s unreal.
The Corona pandemic is being used as a political tool becuase they know they’re in trouble. They couldn’t attack the economy any other way.
Trump will win anyway. People are seeing the donor left for what they are. A class of politicians beholden to war, the donor class, and corruption.
I hate both parties. I wanted Bush in prison for war crimes right along with Obama. I used to hit the right hard, but the left is so out of control today and uses so much propaganda it’s time they got taken to task. The conservatives tried to clean up their party and bucked the warmongers and establishment. Waiting on the leftist to do the same.
With all due respect, morg, this is insane. The entire world is taking this seriously and the "attack on the economy" here isn't out of line with what EVERY DEVELOPED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD is doing.
Also, shame on you for alleging that the other side intentionally wants to harm the country. That sort of ugliness has no place among countrymen.
I know I should follow politics closer, but I don't. So my opinions can be taken with a grain of salt. However, the choices we have from both parties to lead this country are really sad.
My buddies and I were joking 6 months ago that Oprah and George Clooney would win the election. We were laughing because it was a joke, but we also said the sad thing is, it's probably true.
I am fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I would just like to have a leader that we could respect and would rally everyone together. Too bad that's impossible in today's political landscape. Sad things is, it's actually a laughable statement, that's how farfetched it is currently.
The first 3-4 minutes of the movie Idiocrasy is actually happening...

I was mixed up. Thanks for the correction.
I’m not a doctor. Don’t even play one on TV. [winking]
There are many on the left that want to harm “our way” of life. Yes. That’s what open borders is all about, replacing the coalition and abandoning voters and replacing them with people who will give government more power for incentive. It’s not about anything else. If you believe it is you’re fooling yourself. You’re too smart for it. Why do you think the left has lost the middle class and union workers for the first time in decades.
This pandemic is not a hoax. You know I don’t believe that. But it is being used politically because the left needs material. Joe Biden has early onset dementia. They had to punt the election but this gave an opportunity.
I play one on CATPAW. Now in CaronaCal fashion, bend that junt over and hold your breath. I’m goin deep.
There are many that would argue those on the right are harming the way of life of millions of Americans on a daily basis by often refusing to even listen to fixing the problems, much less ever actually doing anything to fix them, that have plagued the middle and lower classes for decades.
Like this week, had the perfect opportunity to actually do something tangible to help the working class get paid leave during this pandemic, but what did the Republicans in Congress refuse to budge on? Making sure most of them get it by exempting companies with more than 500 employees or fewer than 50 employees. That accounts for 80% of employees. I could at least understand than exemption for fewer than 50 because of finances, but the 500+ employee exemption accounts for 52% and includes gigantic companies like McDonald's, for example. Because God forbid someone in the 1% sacrifice a little so a cashier or a burger flipper doesn't have struggle to afford basic necessities of life.
Why are you spreading this FUD? Entirely untrue.
The US ranked #1 in a study done just last year by Johns Hopkins out of 195 countries in preparedness for a pandemic. The US placed 1st in 5 of the 6 categories studied (prevention of the emergence or release of pathogens, epidemic detection and reporting, rapid response to epidemics, health system strength and robustness, compliance with international norms around diseases, and the overall political, economic, and environmental risk environment).
Please quit letting your biases and opinions stand in the way of actual facts.
One of you is mostly right.....one is mostly wrong. We will know the answer to this a month or two from now.
The problem is that all the solutions to “fixing” these problems destroy the country as we know it.
Yeah, I'm going to side with Johns Hopkins on the subject of emergency medical preparedness over random message board poster just talking out his @ss.
He said the Dem criticism of his Coronavirus handling was a hoax....said the virus was "contained", "under control", "just a flu", had only affected 15 people with no deaths, and "may just go away when it warms up". Basically telling all those people at the rally it was absolutely nothing to worry about....in other words it was all a hoax. Anybody who watched his video and has a brain knows exactly what he was insinuating.
That said, within the last few days I will give him credit where credit is due. He's on board now with the reality of this Pandemic and responding appropriately. Hope he continues in adult mode. I'm all for that Trump.
Yes, credit to Trump for deciding to listen to the experts instead of faking his way through it. The way he has carried himself over the last two days is exactly what this country needs right now.
You people have turned a thread about Kentucky restaraunts being closed into an argument about national politics, please reevaluate your lives.
Last week, read a panel discussion (so called experts, who knows) which said best estimate is 40-70% of American eventually contract the virus. Today, heard a presentation from a law firm that said 50-70% of everyone on earth will get it. So that kind of thinking seems to be taking hold. Also have seen estimates that the death rate will eventually be much less than the 3+% we've seen so far, at least in some places. Still. IIRC, total planet population is over 8 billion now. Boggles the mind. Once again I say, this is like something out of a movie....
Don't care about politics right now, just hope they work together to help sooner than later
Going to share some numbers - know most won't care or find interesting but...
I'm apart of franchise group of 17 restaurants in Ky & Ohio...
Last Monday as a group we did @ $125,000... not too shabby for us considering...
Yesterday we did little less than $7000 as a group...
Today we are closing 13 stores...
600+ employees hitting unemployment...
Scariest part is we have NO idea when things might "end"

Everyone has had the flu and had the cold. Its not exaggeration to say its possible for this virus to be the same since its spreads as easily as the cold and flu.
Uhhh, no.
No Court (most of which are widely postponed for weeks, now) will step on Executive Authority during a widely perceived national crises, lest Constitutional rights are permanently or irreparably threatened. And even in some of those instances (Neisse property loss/incarcerations, 1941, 1942) latitude by the Judicial Branch to the Executive was widely judged as excessive only decades after the fear had passed.
Ask an attorney to file an extraordinary writ of prohibition on this issue, and he/she would laugh at you. Pay them enough money, and watch the Courts laugh at the attorney.
Four of my direct ancestors in the 1770’s, 1860’s, in 1917, and 1942 supported the “war machine,” to great success, all buried in one Kentucky County.
