Neither party has a coherent, long term plan for COVID

[Billy000]

The GOP and Trump have their thumbs up their assess as usual. This virus shows no signs of slowing down and the GOP response to this is “Derp. Meh. What does this have to do with sucking corporate lobbyist dick? What’s in it for us?”

They’re fucking useless.

The democrats House Bill is a step in the right direction, but it lacks any long term strategy. It’s just a band-aid. It doesn’t address how to stop the virus for the months to come.

Now some governors have more effective strategies for their states. Social distancing and contact tracing are key, but without real federal help, it won’t amount to much.

We are on our own folks.

It isn't the political parties who need to come up with a plan: it's the CDC.
God forbid we politicize this crisis any more than we already have. They don't know yet, Billy, what is going to happen or how to fix it. There are too many pieces to put together a long-term plan. We're having enough trouble making the short-term plans stick. People are suing their governors and defying reopening precautions, etc. etc. This is still a week by week, day by day thing.

The CDC doesn’t have any authority to put a plan into action. Our government needs to listen to their advice and then follow it.

the CDC just realized a completely reversal of everything they've been saying, claiming now that Corona doesn't last that long on solid surfaces, suggesting that all this gloves and no-touch, and spraying Clorox on everything, has been a total waste.

got a link?

Wow, you just figured this out? Neither party has a plan and neither party is looking out for the average citizen, they are looking out for themselves and to get re-elected and we, like the stupid lemming will vote Democrats and Republicans right back into office. We are getting what we deserve. Congrats.

Yes, exactly. But the results aren't in yet.

You call the Democrats making up a bill to spend more money a plan???

Any parent can throw a few dollars at you and tell you to get lost.

The only thing Dimorats have done is to capitalize on their new found authoritarian position.They are displaying what they view is their Utopian society...It is orgasmic to them .Just look at that power hungry bitch in Michigan...A few elites dictating what the rest of us can and cannot do.....F that....They don't want answers.They want fear and confusion. again F Dimocrats and their Fascist schemes..

Epiphany time for Billy. You're finally getting your head around the fact that government can't actually fix all your problems.

The government can't make your wife hot or make you look like Brad Pitt, they can't make your kids smarter or your dog win prizes for obedience.

They can't even keep you safe from natural disasters.

get your lazy a out of the basement and back to work loser ! thats if you have or have ever had a job .

Um okay. What does my employment have to do with this? You’re an idiot. I guess you can’t handle basic criticism of your beloved GOP masters.

because its the working man and woman that are being hurt the worst by the lockdown ! you and your comrades love to say how stupid and selfish they are for wanting to go back to work and feed their families ...youve never had a real job have you ?

 

[my2¢]

In answer to what is being done at a national level I'd focused on the high level towards protecting humans from the disease and not so much on their day to day needs, nor on the other hand how the stock market is doing. In this regard this website provides some links to ASPR and BARDA goals and past successes. Hopefully the situation we're in now keeps us focus on the need for the government's involvement in medical science

OMG Billy, is that you? Have you lost faith in the two-party system? Welcome aboard.

We are stuck with two party system no matter what. What I have always maintained is that I don’t embrace the false equivalency bullshit between the two parties. Democrats are FAR from perfect, but they are worlds better than the GOP. I’d rather nuke the GOP and make serious reform in the Democratic Party.

as in reform you mean moving the democratic party farther to the left dont you .

You are such a fucking idiot. Of course government can fix problems. We see that shit happen all over the world. It’s why South Korea and Germany did so much better at combating the virus than we did. We just need the right people in charge.

What is your alternative exactly? A bunch of self-serving idiot citizens and anarchy? That is how we combat the virus?

 

[blackhawk]

Actually the virus is slowing down even in places like New York and New Jersey some just don't want to admit it because it because it screwes up their partisan narrative. Now this does not mean everything is fine and back to normal but we are heading in the right direction.

Let me ask you this: if the government dissolved tomorrow, how would that benefit you? You can’t answer that question of course. If this country descended into anarchy, you would be begging for social order. You can pretend you wouldn’t all you want. We both know the truth.

 

[fncceo]

That is how we combat the virus?

We combat a virus the same way we've been been combating viruses and other diseases for the past few millennia.

We stay away from other sick people.

That's a voluntary choice. We've never before have had to shut down a global economy to get people to do that.

Billy what a blind little commie you are....By the right people I assume you mean Democrats?....Your own Dr. Fauci couldn't tell the same story if his life depended on it..at first he said it was nothing to worry about,go out and have fun,....until he got word from his handlers that it was the second coming of the black plague.I trust f'ing Dimocrats about as far as I can throw them.

And you think that an archaic society would help make that happen? You see how you don’t think this shit through?

 

[fncceo]

A little bit of government is a good thing. A government can enforce laws and defend property rights.

I don't believe in no government, I believe in a government with severe limitations on what it can and can't do to its citizens.

Oh how convenient your position has suddenly become more nuanced.
