Nothing in the article suggests that this was politically done to hurt Trump yet you falsely claim that it is. Your only "source" regarding it being political is a tweet from some person on Twitter. Shocking!

Oh, a tweet.

Well, and the Lancet published an unsigned editorial calling for the removal of Trump. So yes, that in concert with the tacit admission by the editor that he has politicized the journal, along with the ease with which the journal abandoned its peer review process on this specific topic, looks a whole lot like the journal trying to make a political hit job out of a bunk study.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

You'd never consider them political if they agreed with Trump however. Their assertion that Trump is undermining scientists has a ton of validity to it.

So we agree that they're political?.

"Scientists" as well as doctors can be deceitful and false prophets. That publication is just another tripe organization peddling a liberal agenda. This is the same shit show that all of the liberal hate mongers like CNN, MSDNC, and 95% of the "News" papers in the country are all about.

But of course you'd defend these bogus outfits for their lies. Hell, you lie regularly about the same things on this site. You're made of the same cloth that they are.

Another was pulled when I said that Khalil Mack reminding me of a silverback gorilla in the way that he attacks the guys trying to block him and gets to the quarterback anyway. I was praising the guy's athleticism and power and not degrading him at all. LTG accused me of being racist and Seacrest agreed with him.

Are we still "following the science"?

Mass production, distribution, and promotion of face masks
In the absence of a vaccine or a treatment, there are only two interventions that can prevent the spread of the virus—social distancing measures and the use of face masks. Many countries have carried out aggressive social distancing measures over the past several months, with many imposing a lockdown that allows only for essential functions, such as buying food or seeking medical care. At the extreme, China’s Hubei (the greater region of the city of Wuhan) province was under a full lockdown for more than two months. These measures have been effective at preventing the spread of the virus and flattening the curve.

Before testing, a question of trust in the government
Perhaps the most surprising difference in the countries' response was that South Korea never instituted a true lock-down the way the U.S. has in most states -- in part because the government assumed the people would properly social distance without a mandate. Businesses weren't forced to close, and borders weren't shut down to prevent people from coming in from abroad.

“People were willing to follow social distancing and voluntarily wear masks when they went out,” Lee said. “There was a lot of trust in how the government was responding. South Koreans have a collective spirit when confronted with disaster.”

From the very beginning of the outbreak, South Koreans diligently complied with the government directive to wear N95 masks in public, already having become accustomed to wearing masks due to air pollution. When the demand for the masks skyrocketed in mid- to late-February, the government quickly took over the distribution and rationed two N95 masks per week per person.

Even as the curve appears to be flattening and the country reopens, South Koreans continue to protect themselves by wearing masks whenever out in public.

In the U.S., many people have abided by, and vocally encouraged, social distancing measures on their own, but a segment of the population balked at what some called draconian government-imposed restrictions as states locked down. Across the U.S., residents went to parties and beaches, and in some places thousands gathered for "anti-lockdown" protests -- encouraged at one point by the president himself.

More from South Korea on how best to deal with the virus.


Very little of this happened here. We were told by MANY that there was nothing "Govt could have done" Well it sure seems as if their Govt found things that could have been done.

Funny shit by the board buffoon once again. All of that social distancing preached by Dem. Leaders really got observed by the wacko mayors and governors when their anarchist soldiers went out to destroy out cities in the BLM and ANTIFA led insurrections going on the this country's streets right now. Really worried about Covid being transmitted aren't they? Pathetic hypocrites is what these assholes are.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

Yeah. We followed the "science" where they told us that millions of Americans were going to be killed based on the worst case scenarios and assumptions that got shoved into the predictive models used to establish policies on how to deal with this pandemic. GARBAGE IN. GARBAGE OUT. In other words.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

I will take full ownership for overreacting to what I thought the economic damage would be. I was absolutely wrong on that.

But this virus was obviously a ploy and a colossal overreaction on the part of MANY. Also, the social damage its done is significant.

The National Bureau of Economic Research said Monday that the COVID-19 crisis has officially launched the U.S. economy into a recession, thus ending the longest economic expansion on record.

The NBER’s business cycle dating committee calls recessions based on broad checks on employment and production activity.

A recession is generally perceived to be two consecutive quarters of negative growth in U.S. production, measured as real GDP.

But the NBER has other criteria that can constitute a recession, which is particularly applicable to the COVID-19 crisis given the speed of the economic downturn. The committee looks for a “significant decline in economic activity” across several economic indicators, which covers not just GDP but factors like real income and employment, as well as retail and manufacturing sales.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

It's a new day

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Of course they did after the fact. This all turned it to be yet another example of the government acting and making things work.
It's a new day, perhaps there will be new science conclusion that's 180 degrees off on their last conclusion.

You're the garbage that we all can agreed upon.

How weak you really are. You obviously do not know shit about predictive models. I do. I had a statistical emphasis included with my Masters degree. The use of those fallacious predictive numbers cost this country many deaths and bad policy. That is the truth, numbnuts. So go back and investigate how you should distort what actually happened in the history of the world in order to suit your socialist/communist bent.

Your expertise in the use of "statistical models" has your dumbass believing that Trump will get 60% of the Hispanic vote and 30% of the black vote. My understanding of history tells me that this is impossible.

Anyone that believes your mentally deranged ass is an expert on anything is an idiot. You are to stats what a prostitute is to chastity you mentally ill asswipe.

First of all, dickhead, I am not mentally deranged. I have PTSD because I was in combat and was wounded and have killed people. I have bad nightmares sometimes and need to see counseling because of my reactions to stressful conditions. My PTSD needs to be controlled for obvious reasons and I have taken the proper actions to do that.

But dickhead, I am not a mentally "deranged ass". I am perfectly coherent and have embarrassed your sorry ass for a long time on this board.

By the way, I made no claim that statistical models has anything to do with my statement of how the blacks and Hispanics are going to vote. That was simply a prediction based on the current situation in the US. No, the use of statistical models have their place but not in this case. If you knew a damn thing about anything you'd realize this. Thanks, BTW, for mocking my military disability incurred in my service to the United States, asshole.

Your attesting to the brilliance of a clown that instructed you to ingest poison into your body as remedy for an illness qualifies as deranged.

If your dumbass actually studied stats you wouldn't make so many baseless predictions.

Dude, just because you teach phys ed at the local community college does not make you "schmaht".

You ain't exactly wowing the masses with your budding genius either.
