And do people really think Obama is the most crooked President in the history of the Republic? REALLY?!?!?!

Are there no students of History in this forum?

Ohio is often looked at as this beacon of how covid should be handled and florida is the opposite. Ohio's governor is praised while FLorida's is a laughing stock.

But when you look at the two states side by side, Ohio has more deaths per capita and less testing.

As I've been saying for awhile now, it is way to early to draw conclusions on which strategy was better.

I think in the end, data will show it doesn't really matter.
The big factor will be hospital availability

Sure Jan, I don't understand the dynamics of the medical field.

You said it, why don't you own it? You could say, "Yeah most surgeons are stupid, but Carson is super-smart." Then I would say, "Okay, fair enough."

Also the Obama thing is funny, you guys always go back to that one time he misspoke. He didn't get entire concepts wrong and prove he's ignorant of entire topics,like Ben Carson, he misspoke once and you hang your hat on that.

I looked it up. Biden's been in Washington since 1973. Achievements? Anybody?

It'll be interesting to see his Cabinet. Trump's is littered with crony-ism. I do not get the Ben Carson hate. But anybody associated with Trump gets both barrels from the left, I suppose.

Does having a nice smile count for anything?

So who is the conspiracy theorist now?
Do you think Florida isn't releasing accurate death counts?
 
coolm said:
nope. the doctors on this side don't seem to talk out their ass as much regarding procedures they have no clue about like decon, cleanliness protocols, and bio-hazard releases.

Me: Physicians are only considered idiots when they're on the other side of the political aisle

Democrat: No, just the Republican physicians.

You see what just happened, right?

Florida, in addition to Texas and California, have been the brunt of ridicule because they were late to the party. The states in the northeast which have 5x the deaths, and a seemingly smaller population base, seem to get a pass because they done did it first, as if it matters when deaths are concerned. Timing actually does not matter in addition to the 3 states mentioned were open as opposed to being sheltered like the states in the northeast.

correct.

And if given the chance, I'd rather have a spike later once we know more info about it. The states that had early spikes were decimated b/c they were mostly the older age group.

was there some language barrier involved where you didnt pick up on contamination procedures, cleanliness protocols, and bio-hazard release emergent procedures? was that like a blind spot in your reading comprehension? see how that works?

Yup (or maybe it's yep), except facts and reality have no place in the minds of those who are full of horse cookies. There are those who seek the truth at all costs, regardless of the outcome, while there are those who are eternally afraid of it.

That's a pretty weird claim no matter what side of the political spectrum you're on.
 
The tag team circle jerk is at it once again. At least one goes by the name of "Mr. Clean."

Why are you still talking about a comment I sarcastically made? I agreed that I said it, and I'll probably continue to say it for the rest of my life. Surgical physicians make fun of medical physicians, medical physicians make fun of surgical physicians, and everybody makes fun of ED physicians. That's the dynamic of nearly every hospital. I brought up UT because I thought a sports rivalry is something you could understand. It's 6:07 and Texas still sucks, but if you say Vince Young is a terrible athlete, I'll still laugh at you.

You didn't say it sarcastically, but I'll drop it because your UT comment made me laugh :ez-roll:
