It doesn't require any particularly stupid moves like that to get a bloodbath in nursing homes. Legolas Send a noteboard - 07/10/2020 11:24:48 PM

View original postthen we should mention criminally stupid Governor Andrew Cuomo who ordered hospitals to free up beds by sending elderly COVID patients to nursing homes in the early days of the outbreak. This only led to thousands of nursing home deaths and NJ followed his lead. I believe between 5 and 6 thousand was the total death count.

We've had plenty of them in Belgium (which also has very high per capita numbers of deaths, more than almost any other country though still less than the states of NY and NJ) without anything like that. And if the government, whether here or in the US, had just let things run their course, there would've been far more still.

No. Outside of the scope of Jeordam's example. Do what you want elsewhere. The Shrike - 06/10/2020 12:03:39 AM 401 Views

Are we going to start going back further? Then lets talk about the Dems starting all this with Bork. The Shrike - 06/10/2020 04:19:32 PM 406 Views
And? You think Bork deserved confirmation after what he did? fionwe1987 - 07/10/2020 12:55:52 PM 395 Views
I think you're still part of a problem rather than working to be a part of the solution. The Shrike - 07/10/2020 05:05:27 PM 367 Views
This would have more force if you actually had a solution in mind... fionwe1987 - 07/10/2020 06:25:39 PM 397 Views

Amusing. You claim to believe in an Originalist/textualist reading of the Constitution, right ? fionwe1987 - 08/10/2020 12:53:16 PM 391 Views
Honestly? Hilarious. Especially after the whole "big giant mask!" thing at the debate. *NM* TyrReborn - 04/10/2020 10:18:06 PM 193 Views

He wasn't even able to put his ego aside to use his getting sick to gain political points. The Shrike - 07/10/2020 12:45:02 PM 416 Views
But I don't think that people are in the healthy fear range... Jeordam - 07/10/2020 04:22:22 PM 379 Views
Why do you think that is? fionwe1987 - 07/10/2020 06:28:54 PM 391 Views

I disagree Jeordam - 07/10/2020 09:52:05 PM 407 Views
That's in spite of all the attempts to contain it. You're talking about not trying that anymore. Legolas - 07/10/2020 10:15:12 PM 442 Views

No, it is not by definition not logical. What definition of fear are you using? fionwe1987 - 08/10/2020 01:00:23 PM 390 Views
