    Well, what if we just made worship, education and work illegal?

    Oh - and thinking logically & for oneself.

    That would solve everything! :)

    I find this ignorance and stupidity of the COVIDIOTS just ridiculous ... how much they fight the fight against the virus and question everyone and everyone in this fight!

    Somehow these Covidiots, like the person of the the UK newspaper mentioned here, are a shining example that Darwin's theory of evolution can also have a reverse gear with humanity ... and people can also become dumber again!

    To be honest ... even if I run the risk of getting into trouble again with the management of the forum ... I wish all these Covidiots that they get sick with the virus, become seriously ill and then be told in the hospital that they are unfortunately unlucky and there is no more space for them on the ICU to treat them because they are already full of other infected people.
    Specifically: I don't want these people to die ... specifically not! But if it does happen, sorry, then I shrug my shoulders!

    If Trump had extended a ban to Europe earlier there would be impeachment 3.0 and we all know it.

    Yes, movement is always a disaster in a pandemic. We've known that for centuries.

    Uh, maybe not....

    Trump was busy telling us the Covid was a hoax, and it was fading away in a week or 2, and just as soon as it got warm outside, and about another half-dozen of his McDonald's-inspired Wisdom!

    So why are Trump-inspired Nazi Flags and marches being practiced by Republican partisans?

    "UK Epidemiologist: Lockdown was a ‘monumental mistake’ and must not happen again"

    I do think Trump was wrong with his shutdown and reopen guidelines here in the USA too

    There is very little contact tracing reports being done because Trump, his fake "Covid Task Force", and all of the anti-Covid propaganda to sabotage tge testing, tracing, and reducing infection by the very people making tracing unsuccessful, even on this board.

    Too bad such Republican Irony would stop the COVID Virus, the pandemic would be over 3 months ago!

    in the USA we have open borders between the States too, makes it hard to keep a virus contained for sure

    luckily this virus doesn't seem to be the worst it could have been, at least not yet, it could still mutate into a worse version of itself or when paired with the flu this winter

    The Democrats and their voters have worked overtime to disenfranchise the government. And I am applauding your success in that the Trump Government felt that it couldn't or wouldn't take steps perceived to cause a further backlash.

    Of course, being a Democrat means that you perceive no ill harm from the resistance. It just so happens that the coronavirus was the national tragedy that would upend the government.

    I thought it was going to be an attack on the US with Democrats undermining national security efforts.

    Fear mongering. He could've contracted any disease and ended up dying as he did.

    Doesn't happen and doesn't stop a virus.

    Staying six feet away from people does not stop a virus. You are also suggesting bigotry, acting as if EVERYONE is infected...

    No, I would be right.

    It didn't control the spread of anything. The virus is all over the whole world, dude...

    PPE supplies are just fine.

    There's no need to "control the virus", whatever that means. You are just fear mongering.

    Again. Herman Cain did not die from cancer or a heart attack

    He died because he refused to wear a mask and more importantly spent time among those who refused to wear a mask

    ONCE AGAIN, the only, and proven “Let’s keep working” strategy was implemented by Taiwan, and it’s a strategy I’ve been promoting since the last five months, HOWEVER, let’s Keep working, Keep wearing masks, Keep your distance STRATEGY wasn’t realistically implementable nor sustainable in the U.S., five/four/three/two and one month ago.

    Simply put; We’re not Taiwanese, not yet!

    ARE WE CLEAR?
