OK then. Here's an idea.
We're in the middle of a pandemic. Let's change the in-place (for years) reporting system of hospitals, and bring in a (maybe) no bid contract for one of the president's friends.
Maybe the numbers will look better.

We almost had a national strategy and plan for testing and dealing with the virus.
It was mapped out and perhaps would have had a chance at greatly reducing the deaths we have experienced.
It was cancelled at the last minute by Trump, and it was decided to let the states handle it.
One of the calculations was that it would be politically beneficial, because blue states were (at that time) the hardest hit.
I am having a lot of trouble getting my mind around the inhumanity of that calculation.

Someone can correct me if I got bad info, but I just read that Sweden was the only western country that had an economy that grew last quarter.

I've lived in this country my entire life, and I find this very easy to get my head around. Like it or not, that's how a lot of people roll here.
If it's not my problem, then it's not a problem. If it's a problem for those who are in opposition to me, then it is a benefit. That's how many in the United States have always looked at things. Trump claims to be a businessman, and he is by no means the first businessman to look at his competition and think 'How can I eliminate my competition?' rather than 'How can we successfully coexist?'
I'd really like to see that change, but I'm not overly optimistic that it ever will.Last edited by xubrew; 07-31-2020 at 12:10 PM.

If hydroxychloroquine actually works, then Trump needs to immediately come out and say that it does not work. That way, people will start to trust it.

You may want to specify WHICH medical professionals should come out and say that it works....

I think I'll trust the one who has demons having sex with people during their dreams.
Maybe that'll spice up this quarantine thing some (if I don't tell mrspaulxu)....he went up late, and I was already up there.
