Maybe the PM finally realizes it does not make sense to destroy all of the economy for a disease with greater than 99% recovery rates! But wait for a few days, he might change his mind!

... I would prefer a harsh talking leader with a heart for people who gets things done over a well rehearsed politician who says what people want to hear and has pursued self interest over the nations interest during their political career. It seems people just want to feel good and hear nice words while getting screwed by politicians!

Infections rates will decrease at some point after almost everyone has been infected, or if you reduce rates of testing. This reduction has nothing to do with locking people down on weekends!

We need a new PM.

*"It’s not really related to the sharks being protected, because shark populations basically remain the same, because we never hunted them before the protection of sharks and we don’t hunt them now. So there is no change in population and science has been showing that.”*

How can shark populations remain the same if they are an apex predator that mates AND they are not hunted?

@C2B... Here is the story and notice it is from the Justice Departments website:

Anyone who believes the US court system is nonpartisan and fair is mistaken, hence the push put activists judges on federal and state courts!

Recently the judge of elections in Pennsylvania was found guilty of election fraud and stuffing ballot boxes for Democratic candidates in primary elections. Despite Democratic rhetoric, the integrity of these elections will be called into question in several states.

@Clamshell... any system that was created can be gamed!

No one can explain how large states like Texas, California, Florida and New York could get counted within hours, but a state like Nevada could not! Quite strange and third world!

I thought this article written back in August 2020 was an interesting one!

... no need to be bewildered, others will have different points of view than yours. That used to be okay! Trumps "handling" of the coronavirus was more political than actual. The only way to not get the virus is to not breathe! Americas federal and state system makes it difficult to mandate certain things without impinging on certain personal rights. It was sensible to allow governors to choose a plan that best suited their state and back them up federally. Most failure was at the gubernatorial level, not the federal level! He certainly did a far better job than our doctor leader did here, at least they developed therapeutics and have vaccines under development.

... agreed. No one can explain how large states like Texas, California, Florida and New York could get counted within hours, but a state like Nevada could not! Quite strange and third world!
