You are not a 'tough guy' because you don't wear a mask. You're just being stupid!"<br /><br />The truth is, even if I discount a good percentage of the news due to their loathing of Trump, I don't hardly know how the administration COULD have done a worse job--it's almost like they scripted for failure.<br /><br />At the very least, LEAD BY EXAMPLE.AaronShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01263323475384069306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-81702510595187388132020-05-16T05:14:12.953-05:002020-05-16T05:14:12.953-05:00here in Australia thing are slowly starting to reo...here in Australia thing are slowly starting to reopen and our lock down is being reduced. as of today I'm allowed to travel 150km from home and most retail shopping is open, restaurants and cafes are limited to 10 indoor customers and can provide takeaway meals and alcohol. the reason for our reopening isn't because people protested, and there were some minor protests, its because our conservative government reacted relatively quickly and shut our boarders and put us in lock down. now our health system has to deal with 20 to 40 new cases a day nation wide. i know our population is a lot smaller than the United States population so maybe a better statistic is deaths per million population. in Australia that figure is 4 per million, in the US its 286. I'm not trying to gloat or make anyone feel bad and i honestly feel very sad for my American friends across the ocean. i only wanted to make the point that is not about politics, our conservative government handled this crisis as well as can be expected our neighbor New Zealand has a left leaning government which has also has excellent results. my personal opinion is that its more important to elect leaned and smart people to govern than it is to vote along party lines.

Legitimate sources say they are absolutely necessary, and other legitimate sources say they are neither necessary or helpful unless you are sick. I've even seen some say that they are dangerous if you are not sick.Timothy Benefieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666250876947801196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-4969086214047588202020-05-15T14:59:40.284-05:002020-05-15T14:59:40.284-05:00To be fair, Slovakia is smaller than New York City...To be fair, Slovakia is smaller than New York City, and their first case was in March. To put that in perspective, the United States got its first case less than a week after the WHO said there was no definitive proof of human-to-human transmission of Covid-19. If they really behaved as one of the first countries to get it (US, France, Italy, UK) they would have been dealing with inaccurate info and an unclear human impact of both the virus and a shutdown.IronHorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106255311347964531noreply@blogger.com
