Let me know when we start rounding people up from their homes at gunpoint and shipping them off to death camps.

:dunce:
That's one type of holocaust. Knowingly letting a virus run rampant over the population, knowing a certain sector will be at risk, just to save the economy is akin to a modern holocaust. Let the master race survive.
And the fact that this disproportionately affects his base exposes Trump for the person he truly is. :nod:

Gil, why was nobody up in arms two flu seasons ago when 61,000 people died in the US?

No amount of death is acceptable. Estimates are in the million of deaths, if we do nothing about this.

It’s ok to admit you’re just going off your gut.

Nope. Closed at 5pm yesterday. We had already gone to raised cups where the ball never actually goes in the hole. You touch any part of the cup and it's considered holed. Saturday had a guy skull a chip, his fourth awful shot on a par 4, hits the cup so hard it went off the green. The pin was in a spot where he would have had trouble making triple... PAR. :ohno:

Sure. But your mind is only as good as your information which is why I asked for your sources.

Excellent! What is the CDC saying about Covid-19? Are they the same recommendations as the flu?

You don't have to haul anyone anywhere to sacrifice a group of our population for the economic good of the master race. The virus will come to them.

Gil, I agree that we should be taking steps to protect people's lives. The question is what steps and who should be taking them? Does everyone need to go into a hard lockdown? Or does it make more sense to use a harder lockdown on those most at risk and for everyone else to use social distancing and a soft shelter in place? I would think that it would be a lot easier to focus resources on the smaller number of people who are most at risk - food and prescriptions could be delivered, technology could be used so they could work and interact with friends & family virtually, etc. There would still be some deaths but they could be reduced and the impact on the economy would be less.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Thank you for your attention to this matter - UNI88

That’s kind of what we’re doing now. Some people get it but others need to be hit over the head with 2x4.
