Don't forget about the brilliance of the governor getting that election done the day before he shut everything down, and put everyone out of work. Well, everyone that is, except for himself and other government officials.

BTW: I saw one on twitter yesterday, a nurse standing outside her hospital claiming it was over capacity, no medical devices, etc. Also, blaming Trump/Federal govt. Several others saw the hospital sign, called it and were told no, they were running at normal capacity, not at all overburdened.

where are all the videos of people dying outside of hospitals? i can’t walk out of a bathroom with toilet paper stuck to my show without somebody taking a video and posting to social media.

According to our fat toad of a governor, hospital bed capacity was at 50% before the outbreak, and it's at 55% now. Can't make this shit up.

Give thanks that your numbers are way below an average hospital without a pandemic, and hope it lasts. Given that we've been training ourselves for decades to reject facts we dislike, it's not likely to do so. :( we did that for three months. We pretended to take it seriously for about 3 days, and have rapidly abandoned that again.

This kind of thing is also happening vindictively in hospitals :( this is not sourced from a friend of a cousin, but heard directly from multiple people watching it happen (the hospital instances were a week ago, and tensions aren't getting better )

Charge them with attempted murder and let's see if the frequency drops.

Like or dislike, the solution (poverty/unemployment) will destroy more lives than the problem (CV-19). I'm not sure how anyone could argue differently with a record 3.3 million jobless claims last week. Well, other than the wealthy government officials who ordered the solution without any personal economic impact whatsoever.

Because the rebuttal is assuming the devastation is not as dramatic or worse. We don't know that. It could be. We are already seeing systems get overwhelmed, and we're still pretending it isn't a national problem.

We willfully avoided truth for months. We mocked it's possibility before it arrived, mocked it when it did arrive, pretended for a few days and now that we've mostly aligned the states to take it seriously (but have yet to get the citizens to do so), we're saying it will probably be cancelled in two weeks, which guarantees our selfish nation will never fully adopt those measures.

Well, other than the wealthy government officials who ordered the solution without any personal economic impact whatsoever.

Most of them are fired, possibly forever, if we do not recover. I get your point though.

So, they aren't going to clawback the check you get, even if your 2020 income would otherwise preclude you.

So I've got a guy who made $135,000 in 2018 and $210,000 in 2019 now sitting on filing his tax returns so he'll get the check, knowing that he doesn't qualify. For fucks' sake -- you made $200,000 last year, how the fuck are you this desperate for $3,000?!?!
