The worst is yet to come

I put your ATF on a winning team
I didn't believe the virus was anything to worry about early on. But it's just getting worse.
Real unemployment is much worse. Remember they only count people filing claims. If youre under employed working 2 or more days you basically don't count. Under employment is going to be a huge problem.

Lower unemployment stats are deceptive.
Rich guys are a small fraction of club patrons. Depending on location you have blue collar guys whonget paid daily coming in after work. Things like that.
Clubs will not do well. However, the economy will be hit hard, but hopefully not as bad as the first round.

What the government is doing is insane. Some governors/mayors have effectively said that they will prevent people from working or going about their lives as long as any risk of any harm exists outside the home.
My concern is that folks will be indoors more, and the virus can spread more easily indoors.
I understand what Warrior is saying, with regard to the virus spread during the warm weather. I don’t think weather effects the virus as much as being indoors allows it to spread.
Total new CoVid cases have dropped to a multi month low. Deaths are dropping. So, the media is focusing on the spread of CoVid on campuses.
But fr fall and winter is about to look ugly. They faking numbers, trying to push out a vaccine so trump can get re-elected , man it’s all bad. People still not even getting unemployment too, and don’t forget winter is robbing season😂 these republicans better come off them cars and fake Rollie’s cause people swiping them.

There's at least some truth to that.
In the early stages of the pandemic, the models created by the epidemiologist were touted by the White House and the WSJ to show that the death rate would be no worse than our worst flu season of the last 10 years. Now that we've blown past that by a factor of three, there's right-wing tendency to claim that all models are bullshit and that the death rates are fake.
Examples from TUSCL:
(1) @Mark94's post regurgitated a QAnon conspiracy theory that only 6% of the reported deaths are due to Covid (upvoted by nearly everyone here).
(2) "My pastor's wife told me that MDs are under pressure to push fake death certificates"
(3) Because of Medicare, MDs have a financial incentive to fake death certs.
(4) I know someone in the healthcare so blah, blah, blah...
It's not just TUSCL; Republicans are far more likely than Dems to think the death rates are fabricated.
The polls and simulations are showing that Biden has about a 70% chance of winning. If so, things will get better. Even if Biden is losing it, he can bring people together, and hopefully, he'll surround himself with young, competent people.
The saying predates the pandemic. Saying that the initial death models of the novel corona virus weren't useful isn't surprising. After all, it was a new disease and far more was unknown that was known.
That said, I work with actual physicians, and they say it's going to be a rough winter. More time spent indoors, more recirculated air, dry and cold make our mucous membranes more prone to infection, and superinfections (COVID on top of flu/cold, for example).
I'm a Republican who thinks Trump bumbled this bad. I'm not going to defend him.
I said that only 6% of reported Covid deaths were EXCLUSIVELY the result of Covid. That remains a documented, confirmed fact.
Hope one murders u and leaves u In your own blood old fuck 😂
No, that is still a gross misinterpretation of the data. Yes, 6% of Doctors/Coroners were lazy and just listed Covid on the death certificates. The rest did their job appropriately and listed the pathologies having Covid caused. ie. The patient got Covid which resulted in their developing pneumonia, blood clot, respiratory failure, sepsis, and/or renal failure and then they died. The only argument would be to exclude the people that had pre-existing DM2, Hypertension, CPOD, etc. and they don't add up to any where near 94%.
A high percent of CoVid deaths were already approaching the end. CoVid just accelerated the outcome.
On the other hand, thousands have died from suicide, drug overdose, missed cancer screenings, etc.
A recent study calculated that years lost due to the shutdown far exceed years saved from CoVid.
Underemployment unemployment the lack of well paying jobs coming back rising food prices the end of eviction moratoriums low unemployment benefits etc are going to create more chaos. Crime rates are already increasing.
An uprising is what the country needs to speed up change but unless yhe heroes bill passes the country is fucked
Complaining about reality won't change your reality.
Only you can take positive steps to improve your life.
All Lives Matter
Evictions and people losing power for the winter will set shit off. Even in the redneck states.
Ectended unemployment benefits and expanding partial unemployment to cover the underemployed is needed.
In fact, this is an area where minorities have an advantage over white people. There are quire a few scholarships and grants that are only available to minorities.
When you say that you want a level playing field, I agree. Not only is it legal to discriminate against me because of my race, their is no social stigma in doing so.
😂😂 spoken like every retarded Trump dicksucker
