Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19
-
@BShark Seems like certain people tend to take it off the rails on the regular by bringing up random inflammatory takes because they don’t have a real response or independently thought out opinion. For someone who wants to “be free” @DoubleDD could use a little freeing of the mind from alt right talking points.
-
To go on some more after taking a breather…
Look at how long Cosby was able to molest and rape women unchecked. Now do we need to actually default to automatically throwing accused men in prison? No. That also isn’t happening. What we do need to do is better foster a society where women aren’t afraid to report sexual crimes. Unless you know and have talked to women that have been raped and/or domestically abused you don’t know how it is. Some men get a woman living in fear, thinking they can never break away. Men are not immune to this either. I’ve seen time and time again men falling into the same type of destructive/toxic relationship (usually emotional or financial abuse) so it can go both ways.
-
Wow didn’t know we are taking this to a personal level? I guess it’s par for the course. Sure I think woman should be able to come forth, and demand justice. Just don’t think we should swing the pendulum so far that another person is presumed guilty until proven innocent. The Cavanaugh trials was a big sham of justice there ever was.
If you took the same parameters and evidence and witnesses that were in the Cavanaugh hearings and apply them to an average person in the streets? That case never sees the light of day in a courthouse.
That is politics trying to subvert the constitution and the rights of the people.

Wow ouch. I don’t know how, but somehow I will pick up the shards of my shattered ego, and carry on. Even though knowing what you really think of me.

@benshawks08 said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:
@FarmerJayhawk I think it’s more the valuing of money and corporations over people than government. Now government has certainly had a something to do with shifting those values. And yes, conservatives and neoliberals are both to blame. But public schools, welfare, and civil rights aren’t the problem.
I’m sorry was I not given permission to respond? I do believe it was you and @BShark that have taken this off the rails.

Yep. Bringing up sexual assault out of nowhere brought it to the personal level for me. CAVANAUGH IS A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! If that’s the sham of justice you are talking about than I agree.

I do believe you are taking one context of many that were together in a complete sentence. You derailed the topic.
But to your opinion justice prevailed. Brett Kavanaugh was voted in to the Supreme Court.
-
You do know that Brett Kavanaugh is a champion for women’s rights especially in the workplace. He has been one of the leaders for decades and helping women become lawyers and judges. These are facts not opinions

Good info about the statewide order that Gov. Kelly issued today. https://www.kansastogether.com/counties

@FarmerJayhawk she’s so impressive! She literally caught hell for closing schools. I think I sent that to @BShark

Van Meteren is a douche. We’ve been on the same side of some campaigns but he’s kind of a kook.
Glad the Speaker is supportive of the order. The LCC just had to fulfill its legal obligation to convene to review the governor’s order. Not so surprised Smith and Carpenter left that out.
-
@FarmerJayhawk mizzou is a great comparison! Their gov. Wouldn’t do anything til to late, now a disaster state. Nobody here can really argue w/Kelly! In fact a lot of mizzou people are praising her.

I have no problem with what Gov Kelly has done.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I believe you. It’s simply wonderful how many people, in small ways or large, stepping up. Many of them are out of work. Restores my faith in mankind.

Some good stuff here if anyone is a fan of the office, John Krasinski doing a show from his house called “Some Good News”

When we were hit by Hurricane Harvey about 2.5 years ago, he opened his stores and warehouses to people who were displaced so they would have somewhere to sleep.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I remember that.

@benshawks08 oh man! That was awesome,
maybe we need a post for good news. If he has any more keep us updated, please.

Why did the Governor of Kansas band the sell alcohol? Or did I miss hear? I was just curious.

Also seen on the local news, that are ready to start testing A coronavirus vaccine on humans.

I wasn’t sure heard something on the radio, but when I tried to research it couldn’t find anything. Fake news.

@FarmerJayhawk sounds like the French might be on to something? Let’s hope so.

Some conservatives are not entirely blind. Either that, or they are throwing Trump under the bus as he has done with so many others.

Now I guess this thread needs to be called “Differentiating fact from opinion from Satire on COVID-19”

Good practice for everyone.

Sadly guys heard on a radio station in Iowa that is with ABC.

Well to be fair he was was dealing with an impeachment trial at the time. Lol I think from what I’m seeing, a lot of leaders dragged their feet in the beginning when it came to the coronavirus. Most likely They didn’t know what they were dealing with. As China wasn’t forthcoming with much needed info soon enough. However have to Give the president major credit, in that he shut down the borders and air travel pretty fast.

@bskeet Thanks for posting about thebulwark.com. I wasn’t familiar with it, but recognize Charlie Sykes and Bill Kristol’s names. I not only read the article you linked, but the others shown on the side of it. This seems like a pretty trust-worthy site and it is encouraging to see some well known conservatives presenting facts instead of the kool-aide.

No surprise that China and other countries without a free press are concealing and underreporting illness and death due to COVID-19. People criticize the press here for reporting the numbers out, but you can see where not having a free press allows this type of thing to be concealed.
-
I heard CDC revised their estimates on asymptomatic transmission to be between 25% and 35% of transmissions. Trying to find a link.
-
Also heard today the CDC is now saying it might be best if EVEYONE wears masks, just about a week ago they were saying don’t wear masks. - this kind of wiffle/waffle isn’t doing us any good

Not everyone is buying the excuses and revisionist history.

@BShark One explanation for a large mysterious increase in deaths that do not seem to be coronavirus related is “suffocation suicide” – people dying from keeping their heads in the sand.
