The virus is not a hoax.
The political response taking advantage of the virus to kill the economy isn't either.
West coast politics will certainly kill "attended" fall and spring sports.

So other countries around the world who depend on our economy, particularly US consumers, are trying to kill our economy too by responding to the virus in the same way (except far more effectively)?
I get the political disagreement, the two party system in our country has turned politics into a team sport, but how do you explain the other 7.2 billion people in the world and what their governments are doing...they are a part of the democratic hoax too?
You and I may disagree with Inslee and cuomo on what should be opened and what shouldn't, but they feel they are looking at what their doctors who study this stuff for a living are saying. Fauci may be overly cautious, I don't know. I do know people in Bio Med field who study data and that is the end all be all are probably more in lock step with the conservative governors. Georgia is a great test case of return to some economic activity, and whether or not we see an unmanageable spike in the next month, or if the precautions people are using on their own are eliminating a lot of the risk.
Any other country I can find is reopening at least as much, and at least as quickly, as we are. I can't find any that are locked down to a greater extent, and, while I'm sure there may be some, I'm not seeing any talking about keeping things locked down more than these west coast governors are engaging in. I happen to know about Belgium since I have some partners in Brussels and they said schools are re-opening there Monday, as well as restaurants, museums, and the whole rest of the cultural sector. Every article I can find about other countries in Europe is similar. In Asia they already have been opened long ago. Generally, the Asian countries have better contact tracing, compliance, testing, etc., as we know. Not always the case in the European countries.
Sure, it varies around the world. My brother in law has an exchange student from Spain and they are all on pretty tight lockdown still.
I suppose there may be a handful of folks in the government who want it shut down and the economy to continue tanking for political reasons. But logically, the damage has been done. 35-40 million are out of work. It’s not like some political sabotage can make it much worse. Sure seems like it’s just more finger pointing back and projection like everything else. Valuable time was wasted several months ago by our government largely because of political reasons, now we’re in a mess, so let’s say the other guys wanted it, and want it to be worse. Seems like a pretty laughable argument if you’re being reasonable.
It was either cannibalism or pedophilia the russians conjured up? Insert creepy gif

Ah yes, One of the John Birch Society’s favorite conspiracy theories in the 50s and 60s. Best summed up by General Jack D. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove: “Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face.”
I guess we have always had loopy conspiracy theorists running around. Trouble is that nowadays a nutball like Alex Jones (who has remarkable similarities to Jack D. Ripper) can reach a pretty wide audience. The John Birch society was pretty much limited to billboards, books and mailers.
How does it compare to the effects of the mind control chemical agent being spread in airline jet contrails?
Contrails or CORONATRAILS? Who knows. Maybe why the limited air travel? Just goes to show that you never know.
Well the airlines do buy all their cheap Jet-A fuel from China, so you might be on to something
Had no idea that was started by ultra Conservative loons. In Oregon at least that thinking became adopted by the loony left.
Contrast that to how the conspiracy minded liberal antivaxxers ideas are now being adopted by loony rightwing nutters with the covid19 pandemic.
I think there have always been antivaxxers on the left and the right. In fact it seems like points of agreement between the extreme looney right and extreme looney left are not that unusual. After all they are both convinced existing societal norms are FUBAR and must be destroyed and replaced with some sort of utopia they dreamed up after over medicating with their drug of choice.
We can send them to Ted Haggard’s church to pray the gay away
Or drown them in a Pat Robertson conjured hurricane. If it gets too close to shore after that Donnie can just nuke it. It'll be fine. We have plenty of Sharpies
Will he use one of those “super duper missiles” he was bragging about to nuke it?
Dunno, but hopefully a handful of people can wrangle the local wildlife out of the storm path and projected blast radius. Miami would not be as resilient as Tokyo.
Space Force has us covered—those Yuge!! reptiles don’t stand a chance against round of Super Duper ™️ missiles.Dunno, but hopefully a handful of people can wrangle the local wildlife out of the storm path and projected blast radius. Miami would not be as resilient as Tokyo.
