Covid-19 data and graphs

When the Hitler comparisons come out that only tells me there is nothing of value being said regardless of who or what the conversation is about.....

Comparing Hitler to anyone is simply irrational, blind hatred. I suppose one might speak that way about that squalid little character who rules N Korea and seem somewhat rational but no others come to mind at least not currently holding a leadership position on the world stage.

As for the mask situation, have we entered the time when masks are going to be a thing in perpetuity?

People are going to continue to catch covid masks or not.....Has anyone been proven to have caught covid twice? If they have I have not heard it.....

Bottom line is this thing has to run its course unless a vaccine is produced that eliminates the issue.....a small percentage of the population is going to die from it until that happens. It is just a sad fact. No amount of mask hysteria, breast thumping and virtue signaling its going to change that fact.

No doubt as soon as the left actually negotiates in good faith which they WILL NOT do until after the election he should have kicked the stimulus to the curb.....sorry but pelosi and the others were making ridiculous demands.....

Yup, it's all Pelosi's fault. His aides ought to be reading Greg on the astromart...

No, Obama tied up that worst President in history record in perpetuity.....Now if you want to talk about the most "besieged" President then Trump wins that one hands down.....

Thanks

It usually means you have built the ad but have not clicked on the submit button to finalize it.....pull the ad up and read the button labels.....Look for the big green button that says "Place Classified" when viewing the ad..... In fact I just looked and that is exactly the issue. It wont show up in the public listings until you do this....it can only be seen by looking at it via your profile (how I was able to see it)

Yep its a big DUHH moment but rest assured it is not uncommon smile

Even the blind squirrel........

Been binging on the "Vikings" series or I might not have thought of it......

Trump Rally Superspreaders!

Now, the  Commander-In-Chief Covidtoid will be holding a rally in Florida, as well as a 2000 person stand-in event at the WH, to spread camaraderie amongst the ranks. 
I'd like to see Rich, Greg, Darian and Steve at each of those events, preferably in the front row, as I watch on my TV. Remember, masks are optional so I get to see each of you standing shoulder to shoulder railing against the planned-demic (Trumptoid-speak) and wildly cheering the chief Covitoid. Well, how about it?...
