Please people!
Partisan politics needs to be 100 percent divorced from the scientific examination of various ideas to treat Covid.

For a truly bizarre set of reasons "supporting" Hydroxychloroquine  has been linked to supporting the horribly divisive U.S. president and "opposing" it has been linked to his majority opposition (in the US and the world).

None of that should matter one bit!

 

The virus is not partisan. Medications are not partisan. Do the proper studies on this bizarrely politized med and all other potentially promising ones as well. No priority to one over another because the U.S. president hypes it. Yes speed things up as much as humanly possible. Then let the doctors, scientists, and evidence decide not freakin' politics!

 

Is that too much to ask for? Apparently it is.

So you criticize the OP for bringing politics into this and then you do the same thing! ???? ???? ????

Some historical perspective.

two thousand former Justice Department officials criticised the behaviour by Barr and Trump, and both people's actions require only Mr. Barr to resign, but not Mr. Trump - that's justice departmentalized.

They are a bunch of has beens whose opinions mean nothing.

Thailand has some of the strongest gun control laws in the world.

Watched Midway last night an epc re-telling of US heroism and bravery in WW2. Then I remembered the acquittal of the great liar in chief Trump and contrasted his twisted personality with the true American war hero John McCain and felt ashamed to be human. The only Republican with balls is Mitt Romney.

In 2012 the left viewed Romney as a racist misogynist. Now he's the most noble man ever.

The acquittal along party lines is expected but unlike the Clinton trial which was conducted in a way that struck all sides as fair and even increased public respect for Congress, Mitch and his senators have caused more division, seen as unfair and diminished public respect for congress. 

 

Bill subsequently apologized to the American people in a speech after his acquittal. That was class. Meanwhile Trump was unapologetic and post a divisive tweet and mock the impeachment and the Dems. If Susan Collin think that by acquitting Trump, his behavior will improve, she in for a huge disappointment. It wouldn’t be long before he commit another constitutional crime. 

Bill committed a crime. Trump didn't.

In 2012 the left viewed Romney as a racist misogynist. Now he's the most noble man ever.

Congratulations President Trump!  

You have been EXONERATED!!!

Now, please continue making America Great. The public will no longer listen to Pelosi, the squad and the other haters.  In tearing up the speech, Pelosi sealed the fate of the Democrat party.  Trump doesn't need to destroy the Dems; they are destroying themselves!

American education (or the lack of it) has a lot to answer for. 

Well Trump got that girl a scholarship to a good school.  I'm talking about the girl Nancy hates and tore up the speech over.

In tearing up the speech, Pelosi demonstrated her hatred for the Tuskegee airman, the girl who got the scholarship, and the boy whose father was killed in action, as well as others.  We now know her true colors, if any of that was ever in doubt.  Pure hatred.

Maybe she didn't tear up the page that had the name of the young boy's heroic deceased father on it, whaddya think?

She tore the speech up because the real leaders, the squad, told her to, just like they told her to impeach.

Trump is now guaranteed to be reelected.

"The White House said on Monday China had accepted its offer to have U.S. experts as part of a WHO mission to study and help combat the virus that emerged in Hubei's provincial capital of Wuhan."

Now even the Chinese are saying "Thank you, President Trump!" ????

The Chicoms know they are in over their heads. They have botched this from the beginning. Now it's time for Uncle Sam to once again come in and save the day. Bring in that American know how and get the job done. Happy to do it.

Yes, no air travel and avoiding malls, crowds etc.  Using hand cleaner religiously.  Just did my retirement visa extension so can stay hunkered down for the next year if necessary.

The Chinese are not telling us the whole story.  Quarantining 58 million people shows they know this is worse than they admit.
