republicans stormed town halls a few years back chanting “let him die” for a health care debate over pre-existing conditions. But sure, me wanting stupid people to be held accountable for their stupid decisions makes me a sad person. I’m sorry, if people are dumb enough to still rush into large crowds without masks while carrying AK47s to “liberate” a gym, then they deserve everything they get. We experts have been warning you about the dangers of this virus. We can bring you asses to the trough but we can’t force you to drink. Your stupid actions have consequences. I believe in personal accountability.

There's a difference between believing in personal accountability and being glad that people suffer from the consequences of them.

I too believe in personal accountability. I still have compassion and remorse for people that suffer from their own actions. You, because of politics, apparently don't. That's the sad part.

So there have been a few reports of a person testing positive, then testing negative and then some time later testing positive again.

What I haven't heard about these situations seems to be the most important part, imho.

Did the person initially show definite symptoms? Did they then recover from those symptoms? After recovering from symptoms did they start displaying symptoms again?

I haven't seen that mentioned at all. Does anyone know?

Had to go and find this post! Just read an article on it this morning.

Basically, they're shedding dead cells of the virus, and the test can't differentiate.

It often makes me wonder about a person who blows their own horn. Don't you want the economy to open which forces those that make the least and with the worst access to health care back to the front line against the virus?
 
I don’t believe Trump is taking that medicine. I think he said he was for two reasons. To get back at Dr. Bright, who was fired, and testified that he did not want time wasted promoting that very medicine. And, secondly, because Trump touted it in the first place, and one thing Trump cannot allow is the appearance that he may have been mistaken. About anything.

Because his followers do pay attention to even those of his ideas that amount to abject nonsense, saying he was taking it was one of his more irresponsible proclamations.

For about the 50th time, we have a difference of opinion on the impact of the economy on the lower income, and the severity of the virus. I understand you don't agree with that, but what you're trying to equate here isn't the same.

What are you basing the severity of the virus on?

Also, the benefited lower income unemployed are doing just fine. What impacts to them are you concerned of?

I've quoted the stats to you before. I don't care to further waste my time and do it again.

They're doing fine *now*. The economic impact will last for years from now, starting with job loss. Jobs don't just replace themselves, and there will be a lot of low income individuals that lose jobs. Unemployment can only support so much, for so long. Somebody has to pay for it eventually, and in general, whether direct or not, that comes down on low income individuals more. What we're doing now will have repercussions for years.

I should also mention that were about to see a food supply and distribution interruption that we haven't in decades, at least. And it shouldn't take very many guesses to figure out who that's going to impact the most.

Why though? I didn't the he was even worried about the virus.

Because that's what he's done for his entire life? He pays the money to have his people find other people who will tell him what he wants to hear.

Personally I think he is probably actually taking it. The alternative is even stupider.
