Social distancing has been all but forgotten.

[turtlespeed 212]

All those posters here . . . with the righteous outcry for social distancing . . .

Where are they now when discussing the riots and looting?

Priorities I guess.

The act of NOT social distancing was killing people!!!

Now - meh - not so much in light of protesting.  Killing people indirectly by riots and gatherings seems to be acceptable now.

Someone should let the leadership of the country know that the all the bluster about quarantining and distance was hogwash. 

 

ETA - Maybe we should have a new death clock - One that details out how many deaths are attributed to the protests and riots causing a second wave of outbreaks!

You went silent for a while too, after spending all that effort twisting logic to conclude that "Trump could have done a few things better" regarding the pandemic when there's now 100,000+ dead, and discarding all the comparisons to other countries who did manage to control the pandemic more effectively.

Trump's effectively given up on covid-19, it has defeated him. You want to bring that up? You're digging yourself into a hole.

Actually, there was an interview with someone who took part in a protest locally; she said she's decided to quarantine herself now. Maybe there are priorities -- kind of like the people who protest against masks and social distancing -- they value freedom, or at least the perception of freedom, over some medical considerations. Or, if I were a liberal shill, I'd say they value their money over other people's grandparents.

Trump is cowering in the White House bunker.

True leaders get out among the people in times of crisis.

 

[turtlespeed 212]

I really don't care what Trump does.

That's your obsession.

If you were to guess - how common is the sentiment that one woman carries?

How much do you think that the protesters are social distancing?

How much do they even care?

What is being done to enforce the distancing as it was just a week or so ago?

I was busy working.

 

Digging a hole how?

It is blatantly obvious that the distancing fear has been usurped by the protests and riots.

Where is the Righteous outrage now?  Where are the pundits that scream that Trumps policies of not distancing are killing a hundred THOUSAND people?  Where is the outcry that the protesters, looters, and rioters are now going to be the cause of the next wave of deaths to the elderly across the nation and beyond?

Where?

I guess BLM more than OPM.

I don't have any outrage against his failure to save, because I don't believe it would have made that much difference, given ALL the factors involved in our society.  A great example of that is how all the protestors are following all the distancing rules now.

Why am I LOOKING FOR it?  It's almost impossible to avoid.  I don't have to LOOK FOR it.  The irony and the hypocrisy is slapping everyone in the face.

To answer this question, I think it has been distracted and preoccupied by killings of healthy, non-infected, non-white people.

You mean like this type of leadership John?

“The Prime Minister personally urged the French and US leaders to block publication of the captured German telegrams after the war,” the Telegraph reported, “fearing they would ‘give pain to the Duke.’ While he dismissed the documents as “ ‘German intrigues,’ he feared they might cast doubt on the Duke’s loyalty.”

The same place where it was back then - nonexistent.  No pundits have screamed.  (I mean, Alex Jones has, but that's his thing, and he's hardly taken seriously.)

Where is the CONCERN?  Same place it always was.  This, like the "end the shutdown" protests, will increase infection rates.

Usually you work up to Hitler gradually, with some comments about sheeple, maybe a Stalin reference, before you blow your wad like this.  A serious faux pas when it comes to trolling.

In March, in the "sacrifice to Mammon" thread, you said we'd do better (I think than Italy and Spain) when we got to 500,000 cases, because we'd be better prepared.  Link here

You can't have it both ways, and you can't only point fingers at anti-police demonstrators. Liberals are no more a single monolithic bloc than conservatives are.

Turtle is just following his lords and masters at Fox News. I happened to go to Fox News today to see their coverage of what’s happening and this is exactly their coverage. Blaming the democrat run cities for not sticking to social distancing during the riots

The Duke abdicated his leadership in 1937.  Ergo, he was NOT a leader in a time of crisis.  If Trump had a shred of decency he would resign too, effective immediately.

Your attempt at  distraction that didn't even rise to the level of "lame".

Bill didn't say you "quote Hitler".  Another lame response.

Maybe the guy in the photo you posted is actually John Cleese.

Italy has a death rate from covid of about .00058/ person, while the US has a death rate of .00033/person.
 

So, I was right, if you can consider just under half the deaths per person better. 

I haven’t checked Spain. 
 

Why can total blame be assigned to one single person, while you cannot single out a group of people that will have more actual culpability by their direct AND indirect actions?

I watch Fox. . . Masked singer was on Fox. 
 

but you assumptions and allegations are incorrect again - thanks though. 

[wmw999 2,116]

Total blame does not go to one person. However, when one is the President, and it's a national issue, one does get examined at least. It's in the job description. With great power comes great responsibility and all that.

And yes, there are liberals who are at least as hard on him as some conservatives were on Obama. Funny how that works.
