I am confused...a person on unemployment makes quadruple what a job pays them? Unemployment is a mechanism that has existed for over 100 years...and you can't receive unemployment unless you have been let go...so Belk let them go...then tried to hire them back...again confused at how the people are greedy...
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't S. Korea use a lot of technology to track their citizens such as facial recognition? I just think their form of government and border control gives them a leg up on us in controlling a disease out break. I also suspect that they don't have near the undocumented alien problem that we have. How do you track somebody who may not have a cell phone or know ID? Most of the positive cases in my area have involved immigrant populations who don't exactly use the same hygiene practices we're accustomed to nor do they have living arrangements conducive to preventing spread.
The thing with "opening up" is that it allows people who NEED and WANT to be open to provide for their families to now do it. I've said all along. Personal responsibility if very very important. It's WAY more effective in the long run than government edicts.
well then if the obese drug addicted ignorant people don't take care of themselves it's their own damned problem. You can't save people who don't want to save themselves.
Violating her constitutional rights since she's immune.
The fake news is so obvious. More testing brought more fake positives while claiming more tests helps and is absolutely needed?
No, cleaning their buses and subways, streets etc along with protecting yourself well into its culture did.
What is the "economy" for the 95% of people who are massively in debt, who can't pay for a $400 dollar emergency expense, who can't afford to cook at home or eat healthy, who can't afford to exercise or spend time with their children. Whose economy are we trying to protect? 500000 people are homeless, millions can't even get healthcare. When a person goes to work at a restaurant for $9 an hour..who are they serving? The next generation aren't buying houses...they aren't accruing wealth, they are saddled with mountains of debt to get the same degree their parents got for cheap or free, the same house their parents bought for 80k now costs 400k. We all know the path of consumption and supporting "America" by spending is unsustainable...sadly 55% of our populace only has a HS degree or less, most are unemployable in skilled jobs. So we have made advanced education unattainable for hundreds of millions of people, indebted those who could attain said education, and our CEOS can keep wages low for an unskilled workforce who has been brainwashed to fight for the master.
New york city is more than half way to herd effect. It currently has to slow down, as so many are immune to it, instead of infecting all five people from an infectious person, it now can only infect three.
No, to your PS
Someone post a pic of that fat "fan" of every team that people always post so we can see Solana's typical 'Murican.
Yeah, there are different challenges here for sure. But we could also have had a better system in place. I've said it before, Korea was ready for this because of their previous MERS experience. They learned as a country from their struggles then and had all these systems already in place years before COVID-19. I don't think there is a big shame for us not being as well prepared this time since it's been quite a while since the last real pandemic here. We were bound to get complacent. We have to learn as we go and be ready for the second wave or the next pandemic, etc etc. There will be more and more as the world gets smaller and smaller.
And you think that same imbalance isn't present in the morally superior socialized or communist countries of the world? Good grief. Your utopian world doesn't exist.
The iniitial f up by Fauci's bureaucrats of the antigen test sure as hell didn't help us. It is also true that the CDC was giving the country bad advice initially. Cuoma and DeBlasio were fools at the start. Any moron with any disease training would have known to shut down the subways immediately and they never have.
I agree, but there are many (some on this board even) who won't wear masks or do any kind of responsible social distancing. In fact, they see it as a badge of honor to do the complete opposite. That's what prompts governments to tighten things up in many cases.
