I'm trying to politely share what I'm seeing and what I'm noticing here in America with you, if you lack the comprehension to fully appreciate what I'm telling you then it's a problem of your own, I'm not obligated to bend over to anyone's demands just because they leave a long message directing me to do so, if you stick around on the forum you'll see that I'm willing to discuss further into it, but when you make commands and frail attempts to discredit or insult my intelligence, then that's when I walk away, if you would however tone down the aggression just a bit we can continue this discussion, but nobody wants to share info with someone who's expressing a vulgarity towards anothers opinion and belittling what another person is able to comprehend, that's a shortcoming of your own that needs to be removed, not anyone else's.

How do I lack the comprehension? I am not worried about the healthy people I am worried about the people that are already old/sick and the women who are carrying the next generation.
I also cannot see that I am being demanding/commanding(may as well throw in domineering while I am at it). I have only asked for facts of your argument which you have still yet to give. I find it amusing that you have spent so much time replying to me now but on my reply to you about smallpox earlier didn't even get a sniff of a response from you. Maybe because anything I said could be easily searched for and backed up and you had nothing in your repertoire to respond with.
I can see that I have hurt your feelings and must apologise for my cheap shot but you have also speculated on my emotional well being before I ever mentioned my anxiety. And if you cannot see that that is also wrong but point out my shot at your intelligence then I don't know what sort of christian you are. Maybe one who has differing ideals for others than they would hold upon themselves?
Have you read your last post back at all?

You say I lack comprehension and then say I am belittling your comprehension. Pot calling kettle black?
All I have asked for is you to give facts, and you cannot give them in order to give your argument any sort of credibility.
I said I am open to debate but cannot see your point of view if you cannot give facts.

Edit: And just because I may not be able to put my thoughts down in a short enough format for your benefit, does not mean you get to call me out on it. I am sorry if you find my post to be too long but I am not doing it in anyway to belittle anyone. It's the way I am even when speaking face to face.

One can spin it, twist it or come up with every hyperbole in the world. However, what American saw today on full display is an incompetent who lacks intellect, intelligence, the inability to comprehend complex issues and the inability to articulate any policy or on any subject without reverting to non-factual bamboozle BS. Go figure.

Trump forced to shut down Mar-a-Lago as the coronavirus continues sweeping across the US ........ :clap:

  • The Trump Organization has been forced to shut down the Mar-a-Lago golf resort and several other properties in the US, The New York Times reported.
  • The move comes as the novel coronavirus continues its rapid spread within the country.
  • Mar-a-Lago was the site of a number of events and meetings earlier this month that included people who have since tested positive for the coronavirus.

I'm almost set up for 3 months of isolation now, I just need some more frozen vegetables & some protein like fish & chicken.
I have the rice & beans & dog & cat & rabbit & bird food on hand now needed for a long while.
I have to get some seltzer & frozen juice for my wife & son , but otherwise I'm on track I believe.
I have my seeds coming for my Victory Garden so I'm good there.
I have to find a thermometer though which is a problem.
Hey, I'm going too stop drinking :)
I don't have the money right now to spend it on beer & whiskey, plus I really have too stand up too the plate now, no time for BS.
So, pure herb (thankfully I have that) from now on until I drain my last glass which should be in two days with the supply on hand..
See, another positive from COVID-19 for me.
It's actually gonna make me put down the bottle :)
Ha Ha Ha :) :) :)
I alway's thought it would/should be the opposite, that you'd would want to be fucked up in times like this. but I find it the opposite.
I really want to be straight right now, I guess it's the DNA that I never knew I had. :)

You’re not voting for president pal. Better double check. You’re just suggesting.

The last two republican presidents lost the popular vote. But still “won”. Boy does that vote count

It seems there's a shortage of swabs and test materials etc. in Canada now, testing might become an issue here too.

Why it's so difficult to get tested for COVID-19 in Canada

Canadians already anxious about symptoms are surprised to learn they might not be tested for the virus

"Test, test, test."

That's the first rule in the war against COVID-19, according to the head of the World Health Organization (WHO).

"You cannot fight a fire blindfolded. And we cannot stop this pandemic if we don't know who is infected," Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO's director-general, said in a briefing on Monday.

But right now, Canada does not know who is infected. Or how many people are infected.

And some Canadians might never know if they had COVID-19.

That's because not everyone can get a test, even if they have symptoms and think they might have the illness.

Access to testing varies across the country. In Ontario, tests are being rationed so that there will be enough for the highest priority patients, including health-care workers.

"The extremely high volume of COVID-19 tests being conducted at the Public Health Ontario Laboratory requires us to start prioritizing testing for the most vulnerable people in our health system and those who treat patients," a Public Health Ontario spokesperson told CBC News via email.

"In terms of who should not be tested, people who do not have symptoms do not require testing."

So far, nearly 66,000 Canadians have been tested, including about 17,000 in B.C., 16,650 in Ontario and 14,500 in Alberta. About 873 Canadians have tested positive, and 12 deaths have been reported.

At Toronto's Michael Garron Hospital, a new guidance document describes the latest testing protocol. Anyone who is asymptomatic will be sent home without a test and be instructed to self-isolate and monitor themselves for common cold symptoms.

Even people who have mild symptoms will not be tested unless they work in a high-risk setting such as a hospital or a long-term care facility.
