You probably saw but a 30 year old baseball coach from Cliffside Park died from Covid.

Yes, he was on Don Bosco's undefeated team in 2008. Just a kid.

North Jersey is getting ravaged. My county (Union) just passed a thousand known cases - tho about a third of them are in Elizabeth. Cranford has 50 including my cousin's daughter (she's 20 and doing good)

Yeah we have 1,033 cases in Monmouth County. I’m glad I’ve been hardcore about this.
 
We had a 22 year old girl die in Utah yesterday but she had type 2 diabetes and went through open heart surgery about a year ago.

Age isn't going to matter if you have a compromised immune system. Even 'healthy' people could die from this as they may simply not know if they have an underlying condition.

Hope you guys have a comfy office chair as we're not going anywhere for months.

I wonder if there are some things that can be done to help expedite the development of a vaccine? Last I checked they said 12-18 months. It’d be amazing if they could cut that to 6. However, I’m unsure what all that would entail.

It's the testing that takes time. Gotta make sure we're not injecting people with a vaccine that causes a zombie apocalypse.

How many times have Democrats gone to the White House to negotiate immigration reform or “infrastructure week?” When Obama tried to pass his stimulus, Republicans openly bragged about voting against it to purposely make economic recovery harder and make him a one term president. When developing Obamacare, Republicans insisted on having certain provisions in the bill. Then they voted against their own provisions. Why? They hoped Democrats wouldn’t pass their provisions so they could blame them for shutting them out of working on obamacare. So when Democrats relented, they still voted against the provisions because they ultimately didn’t want to give Obama a big health care win.

When Democrats had the chance for payback right now, they worked with Republicans and passed a bill. If Hillary was president, republicans would be openly bragging about making this economy worse to destroy the her re-election. I guarantee it.

Just because we have a two party system doesn’t mean we have equal levels of partisanship.

You are so clueless that it is truly frightening. What do you have to say about all of the society changing provisions the Dems tried (but fortunately failed) to pack into the most recent bill?

Of course they have to some degree, and I'm not a fan of the party generally, but it's just a fact that they have been more ready and willing to work with Republican presidents than vice versa.

Ridiculous. The Democrats have obstructed Trump in every way they can dream of. Just because they found themselves forced by public opinion to vote for the corona bill (after failing to fill it with pork) does not mean they are cooperative. Both parties are ridiculous in their obstruction of the other party. To me the Dems are worse, but I'm sure that's mostly because I simply disagree with their agenda. I can see that if I was for the Dem platform I might believe that the Republicans are worse. To suggest that one os significantly worse than the other feels like blind partisanship.

The former is something everyone should agree on, the latter is debatable depending on POV as you rightfully pointed out. We commonly only remember what's happened lately, but McConnell made it quite clear publicly that they wanted to make Obama a one-term president through obstruction.

Main reason nothing gets done in Washington is simply due to needing the House, Senate and presidency all aligned amongst party lines. The Republicans wasted a golden opportunity in the first two years while they had the numbers.

I think he would say they agreed to pass the bill rather than bragging about an effort to make Trump a one-term President.
 
I can't/won't speak to every part of the bill but Trump has being playing games with NEA funding since day one. He held massive funding cuts over the D's head with every budget.

The 75 mil to the NEA was a big FU to Trump. The Stimulus Package was probably not the time and place - but a little context is needed.
