1. A fact is that Trump asked a question about researching both light and "disinfectant" being injected

2. A fact is both have been and are being researched for other purposes in the case of UV and Ozone

3. A fact is the left equated this with injecting lysol or bleach because he left the door open

4. A fact is Trump, true to form responded to it in the worst possible ways (Not exactly unusual lol)

5. A fact is that stuff like this will never end as long as he remains in office and likely after as well

6. Why? Because the left will never stop looking for those "gotcha" moments and twisting them like a pretzel and Trump, being Trump will never stop giving them those opportunities.

See thats where your assumptions bite you in the ass Moscheck.....I am NOT a republican and never have been.....In fact I have little use for either party. I am a Constitutional Conservative....and these days that is the antithesis to the Democrats and a FAR cry from the Republicans. Just about all of them (both parties) are all about tax and spend with the only differences being what they want to spend it on.

As for spin....each of my points was 100% factual....

A plus if you ask me.....

The fact that anybody thought Trump meant people should inject lysol into themselves is EXACTLY why we have “caution hot” on cups of hot coffee.

Ehhemmm....

Anyone have any thoughts on this? https://swprs.org/a-swiss-doctor-on-covid-19/?fbclid=IwAR02FfJ4CVXNBn7hal_8Zyods8At1WUnsUWjHDJCDHdwdSRcYHpsKins5Cw

I find it real interesting that per the CDC as of April 24th a grand total of 22 people under the age of 25 in the USA have died of CoVid.....I would be inclined to bet out of those 22 all or nearly all had underlying health issues.

Reference link for the above (Table 2) https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/?fbclid=IwAR15j9BQMahtV1XidX8Nt5HgQqMDzKRq3tcD20SE_0AWN9hEaRuTn83Oe_8

Looking at the reported deaths here in GA that include data on whether there were underlying issues two very revealing bits are overwhelming....The vast majority are age 60+ and of those the vast majority had underlying health/respiratory issues.

Reference link for the above (bottom report) https://dph.georgia.gov/covid-19-daily-status-report?fbclid=IwAR2Nms7F1XfV2u80mMsnoNil3JyGmu_Xf2dx5aJGa_Uzkvev8l5pE3X5ObY

Approx 12 countries did not force lockdowns beyond mass gatherings or institute enforced rules on the public as well as no school closings.....yet their infection rates and deaths track closely with those that have, mostly middle of the pack. Obviously NYC and nearby similar areas where public transportation is the norm which makes it an exception. 95% of the rest of the country is caught up in a drastic over reaction IMO mostly due to the media hype. We need an immediate perspective shift IMO from controlled prevention to a controlled path to herd immunity while taking precautions for those most in danger which is the infirm and elderly.

Data I have seen led me to believe Sweden was tracking along the middle of the pack in statistics with their neighbors.....but we agree even if it is upto 6 times higher, avoiding the economic pitfalls all the "lockdown" countries are going to experience probably points to them having made the correct choice.....

The economic impact of maintaining the current status quo (with a couple recent exceptions like GA etc) here in the states is going to be a BIG issue for all of us, it is coming and it is going to hurt.

I am betting it DOES show up in the classifieds (in fact I KNOW it does).....but it has 8 months worth of other ads in front of it.....you would have to page down thru a LOT of ads to find it (as well as change the date range of what you are shown to go back that far).....Your best bet is to repost the ad as just unmarking it as sold does not bring it back to the top nor does editing it.....Unless of course you use the search function to find it in the public listings.

I am betting it is this one "Meade 120mm F/8 Refractor With Orion Mount And Tripod" which you posted on 8/11/2019.....There are 2 other items (binos and a mount)on that same date that are still marked sold as well as a wanted ad for 12/17/2019 which you never confirmed ie clicked the "Place Ad" button so out of the 4 ads that is the only one that doesnt show up in the public classifieds ads (though the 2 still marked sold will only show if someone clicks on show sold ads in addition to for sale ads)

You can also view all of them via the "My Account" and "My Classifieds".....I was able to see them all by clicking on your name and choosing to view your profile....

Your simplest remedy is to mark it sold again and then post a new ad which will put it at the top of the listings again....I believe the default date range when viewing ads is for the last 30 days....for it to include older ads than that you have to use the functions at the top of the ad list to tell it to display older ads....upto a year older....thats as far back as you can view in the public listings unless you are using search....you can search back to the 1st ads ever placed....you can also view every ad you ever posted even 10 years ago if you had any (and so can anyone) by viewing your profile
