Thank you for the link, very interesting.
Here’s what I mean by common sense. Why are certain governors locking states down harder than others? Michigan is a disaster. Why did Cuomo send infected patients into nursing homes?
You nor I would have done that. Crazy. How much money is involved putting someone on medicare on a ventilator? 30k? Money and politics are huge motivators for partisans.
We have an election year and a weak candidate. During the 2 hour town hall Biden said Trump was responsible for 200k deaths. To back up his claim he said “look at the data”
Biden: And if president had done his job — had done his job from the beginning — all the people would still be alive. All the people — I’m not making this up, just look at the data. Look at the data.
So I’m trying to balance my political foo, common sense, data, and come up with as you are what’s really happening here.
It is a fact the virus arrived in Wa State the day the impeachment started and why I say we will not know the complete truth for some time if ever.
Do I think polititians are playing with peoples lives, yes.
