All the while the Super-Spreader-in-Chief holds maskless rallies in GA to convince the gullible to support a fever-dream (and to separate them from their cash).

Ladies and Gentlemen, the dying season is here. The next three months will be an orgy of sickness and death.

Stay home. Wear a mask when you’re not. Wash your hands. Be alive in the spring when the vaccine becomes available.

This is not surprising since the current leader of our country is an incompetent lazy superspreader more concerned about his self and less about the country he runs!!!

Trump barely shows up to work, ignoring US crisis

Lord help us all, as we are helpless against COVID and his allies for now.

If Gavin Newsome (and all the other defiant democratic leaders) would just follow the rules, we might be able to get this under control.

As coronavirus cases surge across California, California Governor Gavin Newsom does not care enough to follow the rules he has put in place for millions of Californians amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Newsom attended a birthday party at The French Laundry restaurant in Napa County, one of the most expensive restaurants in the Bay Area. The party was attended by more than 12 people, and way more than three households were in attendance, a direct contradiction of his “mandatory rules for private gatherings” that he expects millions of Californians to adhere to.

Anyone remember, way back in March, that we were told that a two week lockdown was needed to "bend the curve" of infections in order to contain the virus? Most people complied.

Now, 8 plus months later, innumerable orders and lockdowns and restrictions and resets later, politicians can't think of anything else to do but repeat the failed ideas of the past. Even Joe Biden is touting 100Days of Mask after his inauguration. If it were so important, why wait until January to implement? a

As others have said, when lawmakers and policymakers begin to treat this as a genuine pandemic, I might do so as well. Same with the panic over global warming. When the elites who spend their time scolding the rest of us put aside their private jets and seaside mansions, I will take them more seriously.

Number of deaths from COVID on just Dec 3rd 2020: 2885....

Number of deaths from terrorist attack on Sep 11th 2001: 2977....

And our current Commander in Chief sits in his bunker and sulks about his election loss - interrupted with bouts of severe delusion where he mindlessly rants about "fraud" and "rigged"...

Americans die, Trump does nothing...except con his supporters out of more money...

So now the anti-lockdown shouters are blaming Democrats for not having stricter protocols. Oh my.

Want to take a wild guess?

Not in the legal sense, Bob, but the moral one. Why not start now? Tell his people to stay home and mask up. Scold those who disobey, especially those in power who don't practice what they preach (Gov. Newsome, Nancy Pelosi, etc.).

Tell his people to stay home and mask up. 

By and large it’s not ‘his people’ that need to be told. From January he’ll have the power to make it a little more than a recommendation to ignore.

Lockdowns, shutdowns don't help. They hurt because they will push over a BILLION people worldwide into extreme poverty as the UN Admits

Sometimes you have to just admit you were wrong and take the next best possible oath forward. Que sera sera,no?

Be alive in the spring when the vaccine becomes available.

Vaccine is not the second coming. Even the WHO says it is not a silver bullet.

Number of deaths from COVID on just Dec 3rd 2020: 2885.(California)

Number deaths from Covid from Jan 1st to Dec 6 2020: 2229( Japan)

Think about those numbers before you scream testing testing.

It's a good thing California and other states are taking the iniative instead of asking the feds 'Mother, may I?'. The Trump administration has lied, denied, made uncouth 'kung flu' jokes and is not to be trusted. Joe ByeDon's inauguration can't come soon enough.

It's a good thing California and other states are taking the iniative instead of asking the feds 'Mother, may I?'. 

If the authority exists in the U.S. to impose lockdowns, it only exists at the state level. The only power at the federal level that would come close is martial law, and I very much doubt you want Trump suspending normal law enforcement and ordering in the military to control the population.

At this point, however, even WHO has declared that lockdowns are ineffective at managing COVID, often causing more harm than good, and recommends against them.
