I imagine Biden trying to push through an election against a man on a respirator would work against him big time It doesn't work that way, Pence would take over if Trump was incapacitated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Walker88 Posted October 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2020 The nightmare scenario for Repubs is if both 45 & VP become incapacitated, putting SotH Pelosi in the Oval Office as POTUS. She could then: -Pull the Barrett nomination and replace her with Merrick Garland; it wouldn't pass until Dems re-take the Senate and are installed 6 or 7 January with the newly elected Congress, but it would mean Barrett has zero chance -Fire AG Barr -Fire DNI Ratcliffe -Fire DHS Chief Wolf -Fire SecState Pompeo -Fire "Snr Advisers" jared and ivanka.

Obviously, the share skews higher with the higher ages and other issues. The official infection rate is 63+ per 100,000 population, though that's widely considered to be a vast undercount due to lack of testing. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality' True, true, but how many of these affected badly are 70+, overweight, hate exercise and have diet consisting of McDonald's, KFC and Coca Cola?

Popular Post Lacessit Posted October 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2020 2 hours ago, Cod Face said: My point was that 200,000 Americans have not been killed by Covid-19 alone, there were underlying causes in the majority of cases. The quoted 'flu figures relate to those who were killed by influenza, no mention has been made of other complications in the 'flu numbers. Presumably you also regard the fact America has the highest number of active coronavirus cases - 2.5 million, more than double anywhere else, as trivial. That figure isn't going anywhere, as people die or get better more join it. You think your hospital and quarantine system can handle an extra 2.5 million caseload? I don't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Covid 19 virus rarely kills directly, but it causes lethal comorbidities such as pneumonia and respiratory failure which then cause death. It's still death caused by the virus. Drew a mixture of shock, sympathy, undisguised glee as well as outrage and curiosity across the world. Dr Tedros sent best wishes and quick recovery which is classy. Tokyo sent a cheeky message to remind the importance of mask. China had a jab at Trump saying “POTUS paid the price for his gamble to play down COVID-19”. Iran expectedly was unkind with unflattering image of Trump surrounded by giant coronavirus. Wonder is this a shock advertising by Trump to boast his brand. Quite disastrous, I must say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish no harm on anyone and in actual fact have probably treated more people in 3rd word and impoverished conditions than you will ever do as I worked with great men and women in disaster zones and disease riddled 3rd world countries. I decry the utter incompetence of the political leadership of such nations which indulge in right wing demagoguery to the harm of their own citizens. I denounce the utter loons who claimed for 10 months that this was a scam run by Bill Gates,the Illuminatti,the Chinese,George Soros.the Democrats...the penguins of Adelaide island..the Hottentots...not to mention the loony tunes who huddle under mobile phone towers gnawing away with their false teeth on the pylons (5G) and others so bereft of any form of scientific knowledge that they merely proclaim that Covid is the '"Flu". It is well noted that none of these intellectual genius' on this forum will ever state their academic qualifications-because they have none. If anyone wanted to ever study the intellectual dumbing down of the Western world then this fiasco of the present day internet is a golden opportunity to do so.

When I first came to Thailand, in 1992, I meditated for many hours a day in Suan Mokh, the temple of Ajarn Buddhadhassa Bikku, the famous monk. Over the years, my faith has changed and I'm not not a Buddhist but believe in God. My morning meditation and prayer has dropped to 30 minutes. Now I've answered you, can you tell us how much time you spend a day doing self-examination/prayer? What does your meditation regime have to do with Donald Trump contracting the Corona Virus anyhow? How about you pray and meditate for the hope that the horrible example Donald Trump has set during the corona virus and the consequences he is paying now will maybe get some other people to rethink their behavior about Covid 19. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's socialism or capitalism and many countries combine the two in varying ratios successfully. America has socialism - army, post office, Medicaid etc . Australia has a bit more socialism with easier access to health care, higher minimum wages, but it's still predominately capitalist. Our right wing party is in many ways to the left of democrats. America is to the right of Australia and much of Europe and would have to go a long way left before becoming socialist. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
