Official live update of spread of COVID19

[Rev. Rye]

It's not really an issue of rushing it. It's an issue of trying to balance two massive disasters (this massive fucking pandemic and the economic shutdown that's happening as a result of our valiant attempts at not overwhelming the healthcare system, and we're not talking about the gains to the Dow Jones that Trump likes to trumpet, we're talking the people who can barely afford to pay their bills while in quarantine, because, sadly, most people can't afford to stay at home for a year or two) and trying to keep the damage from either one at a minimum. I'm not going to pretend I know exactly what that balance is, but at least I know it's not even close to the time to actually put this plan into action.

And while I think Sungula is assuming she's just a wingnut who hangs on Trump's every word (which I know is wrong) because she's talking about the problems of the "stay at home until the vaccine comes out" model, dude, it's just bad fucking form to talk to her about "your kind."



(disclaimer: just to get the whole thing out of the way, Robert Downey Jr. looks the way he does in this film specifically as commentary on how bullshit Hollywood's execution of representation can be [with a heaping side order of his character being Australian and not getting the massive weight racial issues have in America to this day], and yes, there's another actual black guy there to voice his justified outrage at how bullshit the whole thing is. Moving on.)
