Yeah between that and end times always 'coming soon' anything dealing with long term issues that take generations to see to fruition tend to easily fall on deaf ears.

Outstanding, the mistake does not detract, indeed it makes it more human, beautiful.
This has to be the greatest speech of the century and up the top with all time ones.

No shit Sherlock! Trump is responsible more than anybody else for hundreds of thousands of unnecessary covid deaths and millions of illnesses.

US coronavirus: 'We've done worse than most any other country,' Fauci says as US marks grim Covid-19 death toll - CNN
'We've done worse than most any other country,' Fauci says as US marks grim Covid-19 death toll
(CNN)The US has now surpassed the devastating milestone of half a million Covid-19 deaths. It's a staggering figure that experts say did not have to be this high.
"I believe that if you look back historically, we've done worse than most any other country and we're a highly developed, rich country," Dr. Anthony Fauci told George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday.
"It's so tough to just go back and try and do a metaphorical autopsy on how things went. It was just bad," Fauci added.
The US Covid-19 death toll is by far the highest of any country -- and more than double that of Brazil's, which according to Johns Hopkins University data has the next highest number of virus-related fatalities.
Here are the stories of lives lost to Covid-19
The US has also reported the most infections, with now more than 28 million Americans having tested positive for Covid-19. That number is more than double India's case count -- second in line, according to Johns Hopkins data -- and nearly triple that of Brazil.
Experts have pointed to several factors that may have contributed to a worsening pandemic, including a lack of clear messaging from the country's leadership, state and local leaders loosening restrictions too quickly, large holiday celebrations and continued resistance to face masks and other safety precautions.
"A mask is nothing more than a life-saving medical device, and yet it got categorized in all sorts of other ways that were not factual, not scientific and, frankly, dangerous," National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins told "Axios on HBO" earlier this week.
"I think you can make a case that tens of thousands of people died as a result," Collins added.
What the US needs to do now
Emergency physician Dr. Leana Wen said the milestone was a reminder of "all the lives that we could have saved." And now, she says she's worried about what could come.
"My biggest fear right now is complacency," Wen told CNN on Monday.
While states across the country may be reporting encouraging trends, experts including Wen have cautioned now is absolutely not the time to let up -- especially with coronavirus variants circulating.
"The best way for us to get back to normal is to double down right now, not to throw off our masks, not to eat indoors, not to do other things that we know can risk reigniting outbreaks," said Dr. Craig Spencer, director of global health in emergency medicine at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center.
"The majority of people in this country, despite previous infections and despite two months of vaccine, the majority of people still have no protection against Covid and can get infected," he told CNN. "This isn't over and we need to double down."
That means continuing to mask up, social distancing, avoiding crowded areas, regularly washing hands and practicing the safety measures that have so far worked to curb the spread of infections.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said during a Covid-19 briefing Monday that while numbers may be trending in the right direction, "cases, hospital admissions and deaths remain at very high levels."
New cases have declined steadily for five weeks, Walensky said. But the US continues to add tens of thousands of new infections daily. February alone has seen more than two million new Covid-19 cases.
Hospitalizations have plummeted since their January 6 peak of more than 132,400 Covid-19 patients. But more than 55,400 people remain hospitalized with the virus, according to the COVID Tracking Project.
And every single day, hundreds of lives are lost to Covid-19. More than 1,300 deaths were reported Monday, according to Johns Hopkins data -- and more than 52,000 have been reported this month.
"While the pandemic is heading in the right direction there is still much work to do," Walensky said.

Of course people will bristle at the tyrantry, the shackles, "It is my life and I will do as I please." Oh wait, what is it I hear already?
North Dakota House passes bill forbidding mandatory mask wearing
The North Dakota House of Representatives passed a bill on Monday that would make future mask mandates illegal.
The bill comes three months after North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) imposed a statewide mask mandate, though the governor himself had previously expressed skepticism over such a move.
The bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Jeff Hoverson (R), called mask mandates “diabolical silliness,” characterizing them as a conspiracy run by “unelected, wealthy bureaucrats who are robbing our freedoms and perpetuating lies,” the Herald reported.

We need to step it up when it comes to our education. Fighting back on the Republican dumbing down of our curriculum to placate the evangelicals and systemic racism in our urban schools, has been a very real problem. Your science is not going to do you any good in heaven. And no more peeking...

This is why we are never going to beat this fucking disease. Human fucking nature will bite you in the ass every time.
Fined? They don’t want to quarantine in a hotel than I say these fucks should be thrown in jail. Beans and wieners on Saturday, they’ll love it.

Biden administration to send millions of masks to Americans (thedenverchannel.com)
Biden administration to send millions of masks to Americans
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden says the administration expects to send millions of masks to people around the country “very shortly.”
Such a plan was considered and dropped by Donald Trump’s administration.
Biden didn’t provide details, including cost, timing and the type of mask to be shipped. The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
The president confirmed the plan during a virtual roundtable discussion Tuesday with four Black essential workers: a St. Louis firefighter and EMT, a Chicago pharmacist, a child-care center employee in Columbus, Ohio, and a grocery store district manager in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Biden has asked everyone to wear face masks for the first 100 days of his term. He also required mask-wearing in federal buildings and on public transportation.

Unbelievable, just for the record Israel won a war with nations surrounding them in 6 days ffs, they again beat them years later again in a few days, I am not an Israel lover, far from it in fact, I am the opposite, but to say they suck is unbelievably naive, ignorant and plain wrong.
I think the last sentence points to me ffs.
