The sad part some people think they are primary source of information. Once people get on one side, the talking points all become the same. You disagree with them and they think you are on the other side automatically.

Tucker Carlson Tonight
Rachel Maddow Show
Coumo Primetime
The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson
Lou Dobbs Tonight
America’s Newsroom with Sandra Smith and Ed Henry
The Ingraham Angle
Anderson Cooper 360

Both sides do it.

When that becomes your go to source for all information on a given subject, we run into education and information problems.

Because people are too lazy (or too stupid) to THINK for themselves these days.
It’s far easier to get someone to do it for them.
All packaged up with a neat bow for them.
There’s an “app” for that. It's called (insert any of the names that ZontheRocks listed here).
That way, there is none of that nasty “balance”, or opinions which differ from one’s own (or, rather, the opinions that one has previously allowed oneself to be programmed with).
And oh boy, do politicians (of either stripe) love that.

Suing YouTube over this mess isnt going to accomplish anything just like filling class action lawsuits... it's a nice thought in principle, but the reality is the lawyers will make a lot of money and the company getting sued gets to save face by settling quickly. The people get basically nothing for their troubles.

Oh boy, wife is on the phone with her best friend. Her entire family has been tested positive except for the 4 yo. 2 are in the hospital and the rest show no symptoms (parents, sister's family and her). Everyone stayed home except the BIL had to go to work and they went grocery shopping.

Turns out it might not be the BIL. It might have been one of the brother who had moved back in, he might have gotten it from the local restaurants or supermarket.

Im going to ask we stick to what this threads about, and leave the politics out it.

Forums Rules states NO POLITICS with that Im leaving it up to you guys to keep it on topic.

If not I'll give those some time off the forum to work on their model train or clean out the garage.

This Covid-19 has affected everyone in one way or another, and I can only hope We can get by this and pray for those whom we have been lost to this terrible virus and support our 1st responders.

Keep safe everyone

PS

Please no more Covid-19 threads.

I just got home... today is the most Ive evaluated at the hospital 7 covid19 patients admitted in one day!

If you have seen the move the “Crazies” thats how they look liked...all coming from a nursing home...I come to conclusion the covid not only attacks your lungs but also your brain...none of them are mentally oriented... mouth gapping and eyes rolling up!

I swear never scared before until seeing all this patients!!

BettyZ started a new thread immediately after this one was locked lol. So Trips locked that one and opened up this one again with a caveat to follow the forum rule that says no discussion of politics is allowed.

Just got an email that Southwest Airlines is going to deal with this VIRUS by wiping down their planes with anti-MICROBIAL wipes

Are these people just stupid or what? Not to mention, numerous health organizations specifically recommend AGAINST using anti-microbial disinfectants
