    Some of them are - depends on implemented rules from state to state and county to county.
    And yes, people are getting out less as well, of course.

    Trump has at least three contracts going with pharma companies to develop a vaccine. They wouldn't be doing it any faster under Biden or Hillary.

    This is where things don't make sense to me. There are messages all over this forum and the internet claiming that disenfranchised groups are "Pulling the race card" and that systemic racism does NOT exist. If true, how can Biden or anybody else be labeled a racist?

    I absolutely believe and have witnessed discrimination against certain populations so I'm not questioning that. I'm asking about the contradiction between
    "racism doesn't exist and it's X group playing the victim"

    to

    "this man is clearly racist and out of his mind that he can't filter it any longer".​

    It's no secret that older Democrats disliked or thought less of the black population, but nevertheless wanted their votes. After all, most politicians are opportunists.
    I had the chance to work for an older (around Joe's age) liberal Democrat in a business setting, and he often told stories of Democrats, during the 60s, attending KKK meetings. "Those were the meetings ya had to go to, but you didn't want anyone to see you coming or going."

    Well, that put things in perspective for me. Sad, but very real. Thanks.

    Unlikely. Taking any position in opposition to the President would be an act of treachery by a Vice President. Almost for sure, Biden was Step One in a policy change.

    There should be national standards the feds support with assistance. States allowing the virus to run amok can be quarantined.
    I think we might have more PPE if the DPA had been used.

    Funny, but liberal states are having it worse than conservative states. So maybe your idea isn't so great.

    Okay. Facts are facts, though. So feel free to prove he didn't.

    So what? Do you care where the COVID-19 comes from that screws up the economy in your community and state? Bars across the state line spread it in your town? College kids
    I like my idea. We need to reduce transmission because we don't know enough about the virus to determine how careful we'll have to be in the future. What are the long-term effects? How long does immunity last? Will we get a cure, or develop effective treatments, or create an effective vaccine?

    We know how to cut transmission, but that involves closing some types of businesses and modifying how others operate. We can financially support these businesses while we look for answers. With answers, we can adjust our response.

    I'm not that interested in the answer. I don't think it makes any difference at this point.

    Beto wasn't the answer and Obama had to know that. I don't buy this version of events.
    Most Americans are racist.
    Obama is helping Joe.

    The gap has widened over the past few weeks. Look at the graph.

    Maybe he thought Hillary was a better choice in 2016, and some others were better this year. Maybe he doesn't endorse in the primaries.
    Facts not in evidence.

    Again ... WhY
    I mean if he does something jazzy as Chevy Chase did one year
    hosting the Academy Awards by getting caught { on purpose } picking
    his nose when the camera was focused on the Huge Crowd ...
    I'm all Fur it.
    Or If Obama decides to take out his pocket a device used
    to blow bubbles ... I'm all fur it.
    Or if someone like a Greta Thunberg appears like magic next to
    Obama the Meek and asks him to bend down so she could
    pet his nappy head ... I'm all fur it.

    I did. If Trump can shut his pie hole about miracle cures and pressuring states to open up businesses, he might make up a little ground.

    Trump never said anything about a miracle cure, that is an objectively false narrative created by the left.

    Not sure why so many on the left have to lie about this.

    What a croc! We have people "on the left" (IOW, not a Trumper) who want to save the economy. Trump's own Fed Chairman has almost begged the Republican Senate and Trump to increase spending. As it is, small business is in a world of pain because opening up before COVID-19 was suppressed has killed sales for many businesses even when they're allowed to operate. Trump and the Republicans are prepared to let small businesses go under.

    If you're thinking I'm on the left, you tell me what leftwinger supports school vouchers, medical vouchers, and believes Roe v. Wade was a bad decision (I'm pro-choice). Name even one.

    The really crazy thing is cutting the $600 weekly payments.

    haha, i love it when you post links that prove me correct.

    Once again, it is proven with 100 percent certainly he NEVER said anything about a miracle cure. He stated HCQ looked promising, and he was objectively correct about that (decades of science proving its effectiveness against flu like symptoms). So why do you feel the need to lie and make up the objectively (and definitively disproven) FALSE claim that he called it a "miracle cure".

    Its not a croc at all, its simply the truth. Your refusal to accept it is not my fault. He listened to the experts and took a bad situation and mitigated the damage, taking action long before democrats did, as many cheered the destruction of our economy to hurt him.

    If you dont think you are on the left, then you arent paying attention.

    Did you hear how people in the know describe Obama’s view on the Democrats’ choice?

    ...The New York Times’s Mark Leibovich: Obama spoke about Biden “with a patronizing overfondness – as if the VP were the beloved family dog that kept peeing on the carpet.”...

    Dunno if I can take much more of it... :roflol:
