A compliment to Democrats I am not sure why you feel compelled to derail this particular thread

Which is a more important point, the trajectory in the US, India, Brazil is currently alarming. Those countries don't have the luxury of debating "reopening" they are in a crisis.

It is a curiosity to me that over the years the Republican members have transformed into a group of "believers" and pushed away from rational, scientific thought. In looking at the past that was not necessarily the case as far as I can tell. I don't know if the culture changed or if the groups reorganized. The current denials around covid and the ongoing dispute about the facts of co2 are two important examples.

Is the clap trap narrative that this proclamation is targeting Christianity because only Christians chant and sing still kicking around?

My bad 4 % of the population and 25% of the cases.

I don't know what fear based decisions you are talking about. You have 4 % of the population and 40% of the cases. Are you suggesting everyone sit in their hands and wait for magic to happen? I don't know what statements by a doctor contradict what public health officials are saying. If it does, it may be specific to that patient. There is no "hit piece" This is what was said in the Press Briefing. You can draw your own conclusions as to what the statements mean.

I am glad that is obvious, now.

Rep. John Lewis of Georgia died late Friday at the age of 80, according to multiple reports. Lewis was a decorated US civil rights icon. He was the last surviving speaker of the March on Washington and one of the original Freedom Riders. He rose to national prominence after leading more than 600 peaceful demonstrators across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama on "Bloody Sunday." Lewis served in the House of Representatives since 1987 and was one of the most progressive lawmakers to represent a southern district. Throughout his tenure, he developed a reputation for stirring up what he referred to as "good trouble." Following his death, activists, lawmakers, and other prominent figures paid tribute to Lewis, describing him as "a giant" and the "conscience of the nation." https://www.businessinsider.com/rep-john-lewis-has-died-2020-7?amp

Here is the Simpsons analogy "Marge in Chains," it predicted a global flu pandemic known in the show as the “Osaka Flu," and spread by a Japanese factory worker coughing into a package. That same episode also featured the citizens of Springfield in a desperate search for a cure, demanding one from Springfield’s medical community, only to ignore Dr. Hibbert’s medical advice. While overturning a truck, they unleashed the killer bees inside -- portending the arrival of the Asian Giant Hornet (also known as “Murder Hornets”) into the United States. “Marge in Chains” is also about an unfair arrest which (through a convoluted chain of events) leads to widespread civil unrest and rioting in Springfield. Sounds like 2020 so far." https://www.wearethemighty.com/military-culture/simpsons-predicted-2020

I am beginning to gain immunity to your Jedi mind tricks. I clearly stated if he is gonna loose, it would be better for the country if it is decisive. Can you imagine if it comes down to a recount in Florida? Twitter would meltdown.

I just stated what I see in the data coming in from polls and talking to people. Nothing to do with 2016 , Russia, impeachment. I don't know which guys you have me lumped with, but the numbers are not looking good for Trump. Ask yourself, is that because people are buying into Biden? Nope his numbers are flat, Trump's are sinking with Independents massively. Why? I think people are just worn out from this guy.

This entire response is a layered red herring casserole. Here is what is not in dispute: 4% of the population (the United States of America), has 40% of the cases. All of this dithering about waiting for the science to be settled, or it's just like the flu, or testing or your infringement on my body with a mask is unconstitutional is just garbage. People are dying from that troglodyte thinking. When you have a medical condition, you follow the best medical advice you can get at that time while the research continues. You don't wait for everyone to pass waiting for the final result.

Trump has given the country enough excitement, the people are exhausted and crave normalcy. The window for Trump is closing.

I have no doubt that a close election result would have the President claiming fraud, tying up the courts and delaying cooperation with the transition. It would be best for the country if he gets wiped out bigtime. 400 electoral votes should suffice.
