Right wing snowflakes are melting all over the country

Coincidence the stop light is red, red like communism? More government social engineering!

Nope. Red as in the color of the Republican Party. Surely you've heard of RED STATES.???

You said it, not me.

Correct

Except the Nazis hated communism

Nazis were socialists thats why their party was called The National Socialist German Workers' Party. Socialism and communism are the same thing.

They are similar but not the same. Socialism is everyone gets the same thing no matter what. Communism means you get what you are worth and all property is publicly owned.

Communism means everyone is worth the same.

You should have Googled these before you made your original comment.

Now read them over till their meanings sink in.

I didn’t get them backwards read my comment again.

Communism: I said “you get what you are worth” in the definition it says “each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs”. I also talked about property being publicly owned as it is clearly stated in the definition.

Socialism: I said “everyone gets the same thing no matter what” the definition says “...regulated or owned by the community as a whole.”

I appreciate the effort you've been putting into distorting them, I really do, now if you can do the same for understanding them...

Yawn

I did before I first commented. Read the definition it’s similar but not the same.

I am aware of the definitions, and they are not the same to what you said for a reason, getting them backwards not being the least of them.

I did not distort them I told it how it is. As for understanding them I gave it in simple terms that you can’t understand so clearly I do understand them.

You altered the meaning and continued to do so after posting their actual definitions.
That doesn't make it any less bogus.

This begins to bore me a lot?

Sounds like liberal media fake news propaganda.

I only deal with the facts. If you don’t believe the facts then that’s on you.

Which is why Hitler expunged the Brownshirts and invaded the USSR? To spread the love?

Operation Barbarossa never happened; it’s liberal NWO propaganda.

And neither did WWII?

Night of the Long Knives, Google.

Operation Barbosa did happen the Germans got a mile away from Moscow.

We won’t have a recovery before August if the media has their way

No, we won't have recovery if people can't deal with a straight 4-6 week long lockdown.

I get it tho, finanical issues aside, it's not workable for many Americans. Ideally we'd just quarantine people who are sick but due to the high number of infected who are asymptomatic, the best way is cooperation. Which, fat chance in this high strung politically divided environment.

4-6 weeks won’t end the lockdown. People need food. People need to work. Due to this people are going to leave their homes even if it’s a quick 39 minute trip to the grocery store. The second you leave your house you are at risk of exposure even after 4-6 weeks.

The fact is waiting until nobody gets tested positive again is completely unrealistic. Think about if we did that for the flu or any other infectious disease.

The flu doesn't have a fatality rate as high as Covid. That's why there is such a big deal. The growing problem are the number of people who think this is just the flu and are treating it as such. It isn't.

Grocery shopping would be considered essential, and it would be recommended people actually stock up for 4-6 weeks and remain indoors. The virus has an incubation period of two weeks, so a month long lock down would work. The trouble is not everyone has the financial stability to do that, there is still risk to exposure like you said, and now we have a higher number of people who feel very inconvenienced by the time already spent locked down. The thing is, I wonder how long people cooperated with the lock down before they decided it was no good to them.

I never said we should wait until nobody gets tested positive again. I don't think anyone is saying that. What people are saying is to wait it out for at least two weeks. We can't all synchronize on one two-week period so allowing 4-6 weeks and the virus will run it's course for the asymptomatic and significantly lower the fatality rate to acceptable influenza levels (.01% as opposed to 2% or higher)

The more people who fail to go at least two weeks on lock down are becoming the reason why this won't go away in August.

I get that the Coronavirus has a higher fatality rate however small that still is.

But the whole point of quarantine in the first place was to flatten the curve. That means people will get it but the hospitals and health care won’t be overwhelmed and everyone who gets it will have the betas chance of survival.

It was never supposed to be a permanent thing that destroys livelihoods and waits until nobody gets sick ever again.

I would rather err on the side of caution and mask it than be in a casket.

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again that’s your choice and if you want to go for it.

The problem is not everyone tried to stay in for two weeks. And not just in the urban areas or the coastal cities.

Supposedly, if they are to be believed, when China dealt with SARS; they were able to isolate the virus in a single city. The tried to do that a second time around but failed to realize that they should've been on lock down for a week or two. As a result, it became a pandemic. Again, supposedly, they waited it out and saw the curve flatten. I'm not entirely convinced but still I would be anxious to see how other countries fair by June. I suspect the US's numbers will go up... and international travel from other countries will be suspended. Not from our end, but theirs.

And that's when things are going to really get ugly.

How trustworthy is China though?

They had the ability to isolate it to a city because they could hold citizens back at gunpoint. Perks of a communist regime.

Hence the... "if they are to be believed" and "I'm not entirely convinced"

I know. And that’s the problem China shouldn’t count as a model to follow because we don’t know what they did.

Except, that's not how science works. In science, we take the data whether questionable or not, and compare the variables. Even if we suspect confirmation bias in the data, it's still data. Not counting it would also be considered confirmation bias.

Science does work that way. If you can’t trust the data you don’t use it because it will skew results.

"Science does work that way. If you can’t trust the data you don’t use it because it will skew results."

Not exactly. You do not discard data simply because you do not "trust it". This is why I said I'm "anxious to see how other countries fair" It would significantly underline whether or not China's data is any good. Again, dismissing the data that you do not trust would be confirmation bias. What you're suppose to do is compare it to other data before you factor it into your results. But until that data has been refuted, you do not outright dismiss it.

That's usually how science works. You're constantly double-checking not only your work but others as well. It is perhaps why many find it most tedious. Especially those who get a degree.

I would look at other countries before I look at China. There is a reason tampered evidence doesn’t hold up in a court room.

"I would look at other countries before I look at China. There is a reason tampered evidence doesn’t hold up in a court room."

Again...

"I'm not entirely convinced but still I would be anxious to see how other countries fair by June."

Your point is valid

I don’t think anyone sees traffic lights as Tyranny and if they do then the above meme applies.

Oh I got the point thank you very much. I’m just annoyed because it compares traffic lights “opposing our freedoms” because they keep us safe. As a shot at Conservatives protesting lockdown. Hence my original comment.

If going outside is dangerous so is driving a car and I’m pretty sure all of us here do that on the daily. But you don’t see anyone advocating the removal of cars.

You know what, I'm convinced.

Government should put every man and woman who turns 18 immediately into military service who doesn't get a formal education. That ought to keep people whining about their freedoms being stripped away. Personal responsibility comes at a price and when you fail to be responsible, the government will always step in to fix it.

And, personally, I'd rather they not.

That's so right. Freedom isn't worth spit without responsibility. That's why we have laws.

Frankly I don’t want the government to solve my problems. I can deal with it on my own. If people want to wear a mask or quarantine or stay home from work it should be their choice not government mandated.

Yes, not government mandated but certainly corporate mandated. If you don't like that a corporation asks you to wear shoes, shirt, (and a mask...) then take your business elsewhere. Don't whine about it.

I agree with that.

I understand that. But if you’re going to make a meme at least make it based on facts. This is politics too not the fun stream.

Go to the Politics stream and tell them.

Did you read my description for this stream? Don't like it? GTFO.

Oh I couldn’t care less who you diss. Just use facts.

sometimes I do. Other times I don't.
