And you called my comeback weak? 

Mine wasn't an insult. It was an actual question.

That's a pretty weak comeback. Is this forum full of 8 years olds?

In fairness, that's actually a good one for Strike. We're not dealing with Don Rickles here

What the fock? Do you get to decide everything, for everyone. 

I've been here about 3 months and most of you do act like 8 year olds. If you can ask about  my favorite team or food, I can ask if you're 8 years old.

Here is what you said; please help us to understand the question in this post. 

[tanatastic 2,062]

I find it funny that people still think a vaccine is possible and on its way any day now. There’s never been a vaccine for a corona type virus and if a miracle happened, only the rich would be able to afford it.

You have a habit of not following conversations. 

Perhaps post the full conversation. And the point where I said his comment was weak and asked if he was 8 years old. (pay close attention to the question mark. That makes it a question)

I'm actually 9 and 3/4. (just ask your Mom)

I followed it just fine.  I suggest you read the last 6 posts on page 139 and then... bow out.  Your question about him being 8 came after your 8 year old level insult.  I suggest you stop now.

 You're comprehension is shiit. My reference to 8 year olds is because of the same mom joke over and over again. Trying to elevate the level of insults around here. But it's futile. 

I suggest you stop pretending that you're more important than you are. It makes you look like you're overcompensating for something.

We make mom jokes here.  We also joke about focking each others' wives.  Well, except for @Patriotsfatboy1, I've had her so many times and in so many ways.  We're juvenile and we use this place as an escape.  If you can't handle that I suggest you move on.

Second, in the posts I referenced from the previous page, you started the 8 yr old insults.  If you expect me to got back farther than a page, or to go to another thread, to find out how somebody started something weeks ago... you will be sorely disappointed, because that isn't happening.  Because I just don't give a shiot.

We spar all of the time here.  I'm going at it with Newbie/Observer now, but I'd totally grab a drink with him.  We are from a similar area in NE PA.  He is dating a girl from my hometown, or very close.  We know about each others' work and families.  We've been here for seemingly ever.  You... I know you caught a fish off of Ft. Lauderdale.

You're trying to justify your actions, but it just comes off as weird. You've done this multiple times to me over the past month where you think you're a mentor to me. Telling me what to say, how to think and at times that I should leave.

Let me help you with the timeline:

Someone posted about the strip clubs being open in Wyoming. It had nothing to do with me. But, Strike took a swing at me. That's cool. I retaliated with saying that it wouldn't matter to Strike since he doesn't like naked women. For the dumb people, that was a subtle way of saying Strike is gay. I could have taken the 8 year old approach and just posted that he was gay. (But where is the effort in that?) Strike's response was a joke about my Mom. Again, I'm fine with it. But, it's kinda boring and weak. Which is why I told him so. And asked if everyone here was 8 years old. That was a question.

You come riding in on your high horse, with your magic Harry Potter wand and Honey Boo Boo tiara, and try to referee the exchange between Strike and I. You insist that my question wasn't a question. You actually admit that you're all juvenile. So the answer to my question is YES!! 

I can decide for myself it it's worth spending time here. You may be focking my Mom, but you're not my Dad. So fock off. But, if the level of humor is always this low, then I don't see it being entertaining and will probably move on. Nobody pays to see a bad comedian twice.

Based on data from the New York Times collected May 14  at 3:00 p.m. ET, of the ten worst states in terms of coronavirus cases per capita, all but one (Louisiana) voted for Hillary in 2016.

• New York (1.79%)
• New Jersey (1.61%)
• Massachusetts (1.16%)
• Rhode Island (1.14%)
• Connecticut (0.98%)
• Washington, D.C. (0.95%)
• Delaware (0.74%)
• Louisiana (0.72%)
• Illinois (0.67%)
• Maryland (0.60%)

We see a similar trend when we look at coronavirus deaths per capita. Only three of the top ten states voted for Trump. Two of those states, Michigan and Pennsylvania, voted for Barack Obama twice and could be more accurately described as purple states.

1. New York (0.141%)
2. New Jersey (0.112%)
3. Connecticut (0.088%)
4. Massachusetts (0.077%)
5. Washington, D.C. (0.051%)
6. Louisiana (0.051%)
7. Michigan (0.047%)
8. Rhode Island (0.044%)
9. Pennsylvania (0.034%)
10. Maryland (0.031%)

Needs to be posted here as well.

Moving on with good news.

346k tests, just 5.7% positive, lowest daily death total since March.

State level is important to not only take note of, but to focus on.  They wanted the virus to spread so quickly that it would hurt our economy with the hopes it hurt Trump. And we already know Louisiana is a breeding ground for a virus. Noone can stop disease or viruses from happening there.

Yes and there are thousands of deaths on their heads. Of course they consider it collateral damage.

Forgot to clarify this. I didn't catch a fish. My wife and father in law did. So, you know even less about me than you thought.

You have an issue with comprehension of details. You've done this multiple times. You should get tested.

 No doubt. Plus Hollywood and Wall Street. Selling us out for years. It’s proof that their SJW concerns are bullshit . They all dummy up when it comes to China and their humanitarian abuses. Which are some of the worst on earth. But libtards buy into  it and it gets them votes.

Colorado amends coronavirus death count - says fewer have died of COVID-19 than previously reported

Colorado has made a stunning and significant change to the way it counts COVID-19deaths that reduced the statewide figure from more than 1,000 to 878, according to a report.

The change came after Colorado’s Department of Public Health admitted that its COVID-19 death toll was counting those who tested positive for the coronavirus but had died of other causes, Fox 31 Denver reported late Friday.

The department now says 1,150 Coloradoans who died had COVID-19 but only 878 of those deaths were “due to” COVID-19.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/colorado-lowers-coronavirus-death-count

There count was too high by almost 25%

We have to take care of the cure.  That will make the problem worse no matter what.

I'm surprised Fox News would report on this but totally ignore Dr Fauci saying under oath that the death count is actually much higher than has been reported.  

(By 'surprised' I mean, not at all surprised)

Besides the strength it will take to break free from that grip, companies will have to get comfortable with buying American parts for assembly, even if it means paying twice as much. Which means consumers will have to be fine with spending twice as much for these products.  Very easy to say 'Buy American', but not as easy to convince people to pay more for the cost of those items.

We're a 140 pages so might be time for a regroup.  This will also help MDC to stop spreading lies about what people have been saying.  Surly we can all agree on the following:

1. Covid 19 derived from China and by nearly all accounts they downplayed while people were traveling in and out of the country.  This is the root cause of a global pandemic.

2. The overwhelming majority of Americans were okay with the initial shutdown to "flatten the curve" and not overwhelm our hospitals as there was so much unknown about this new virus.

3.  The curve was successfully flattened and its thus time to re-open the economy as it has been devastated

4.  Most states are doing number three above but it appears places like California and Michigan have governors who are power drunk.   As an example California canceled school until 2021 already. 

5. Hopefully there is a therapeutic treatment by fall and a vaccine by end of year or shortly thereafter.

1. You're right. But conveniently left out Trump doing the exact same thing and costing us 6 precious weeks to prepare. China is the root cuase globally. Trumnp is the reason our death count is so high. 

2. Agreed

3. Agreed

4. Those states still haven't met the CDC requirements (signed off by one Donald J Trump) of 14 consecutive days with decreased cases. 

5. Agreed
