Politicians having agendas =/= politicians are all the same.

[SpeedDemon9]

Pretty much every point in this post is accurate. The one point I take issue with is Trump is the same as Obama who is the same as Bush.

I agree every career politician is the same whether they are Republican or Democrat. Obama/Bush/Clinton are all the same. They're all owned by the same people and approved of by the deep state because they can control them.

Trump isn't controlled by these same people and the deep state doesn't approve. Which is why we constantly see coordinated efforts to get him out.

With that being said it is all about politics with Trump. It's a game between him and the Democrats. They are trying to score points on one another. It wouldn't be any different if someone else was in office.

I cannot stand people who complain about one other party then justify those same actions when their party is in office. It's like Trump with golfing. The left is always crying how Trump likes to golf. Yet they defended Obama when he always went on vacations to Hawaii. The same with Republicans. They cried about Obama going on vacation and now defend Trump when he golfs.

Who gives a ****? Being president is hard as ****. I didn't care when Obama went on vacation and I don't give a **** if Trump plays a round of golf.


Mel and JY are the type of guys who do just that. Defend their guy while villainizing the enemy for the same thing.

It's always been this way for years between the Republicans and Democrats.

The Goodman family runs Vegas breh. Oscar was the GOAT.

[heyquikquestion]

I worry for Vegas' future after all this ****. It's my hometown, lived there for 23 years, and my parents and brothers still live out there. It's getting ****ing killed. My parents are very worried about the city's future. Losing millions everyday **** is closed. Without all the tax/gaming/hospitality revenue coming in the city has nothing. Was supposed to have the NFL draft there this weekend but like everything else it's cancelled.

I don't see how it can come back quickly either because casino gambling and social distancing aren't going to mix. I'm not one of those panicmongers but the thought of going to a poker table and sharing cards and chips and sitting right next to 8-9 other people for hours on end isn't going to feel right again for a while.

Unfortunately a lot of industries wont make it. Even ones that do will most likely be transformed. There will be opportunities for new industries to flourish.

Change isn't always bad.

Kansas will have to wait until June 21, and the state of Washington until May 28.

New York – the country’s hardest-hit state – reached its peak number of daily deaths 14 days ago, on April 9. The state is still expected to see hundreds of deaths each day for the next week, but it can begin reopening on May 27, according to IHME.

Someone please explain how New York who has 5,000+ cases TODAY alone, can safely open a month in advance of Kansas who’s had 2,500 or so cases TOTAL.

And before you say this per population crap don’t bother. NY has 1000 deaths per 1 mil population and Kansas has 38

This is the model we’re leaning on for opening dates. Seriously think about that hard for 5 seconds. What rational person could possibly put any faith in that horsesh*t?

Where'd you see this? Everything I've seen for us in KC is still May 3rd. Is what you're talking about for rural Kansas? That would make even less sense. No one lives in rural kansas.

I'm talking about that stupid IHME model for projected safe dates, not when your governor is saying he'll reopen. The shelter in place for Kansas is still set to expire May 3rd.

Models are not accurate. There are way too many factors that fudge the numbers which these models can't predict, like how many people ignore social distancing, what governments do, etc. Two weeks ago the models forecasted 60,000 Americans dying in all of 2020 due to COVID-19. That number will be over 50,000 today - and it's April.

2,996 people lost their lives in 9/11. 3,176 Americans lost their lives due to COVID-19 yesterday. We are seeing 9/11 every single day now, and that number will increase.




Yet people continue to protest. And states continue to open.

Wtf

No these models are exactly why we shouldn’t be locking down until June.
They’ve grossly overestimated the impact from day 1

You’re a retard

About the only valid point you made is they can’t be trusted, unfortunately right after you swung the other way of retard logic saying they aren’t strict enough

Did you...read my post?

[SoutheastBeast1]

Did you...read my post?

Yeah

First off that model of 60k you’re referencing predicted 60k MORE deaths from the point it was released two weeks ago through August.

Now it may still underestimate, but you’re too stupid to even understand it well enough to prove your own point.

Bottom line, most of these models overestimate. You referencing one (incorrectly referencing at that) that happened to underestimate is a pathetic attempt to stay relevant in a discussion about disregarding models telling people to close down

That’s the entire basis of the close down argument. So if you’re throwing models under the bus JY, what exactly are you using as evidence to suggest remaining locked down?

Peaks have past. Cases are trending down. So if you want to disregard models that leaves your entirely argument based on the opinion that cases haven’t trended down enough for your pansy ass to comfortably open.

If that’s now your argument, YOU feel free to stay the f*ck home.



C*cked yourself here JY. Should have just been content with me choosing to ignore your post considering I was so disgusted you didn’t even reference the model properly to warrant a response.

But hey you asked for a response so don’t be mad at the truth bomb in this one.

Be sure to read all of my post carefully though like I was gracious enough to do for you.

Georgia only has 264 cases and 11 deaths so far today

Feels good to not live afraid

South Korean baseball starts May 5th.

Every country should learn from South Korea. They handled this **** because they dealt with SARS and then MERS. It’s time to get something in place for the fall rebound. But I think our president will be too busy trying to save his political life. I mean we are talking about a guy whose response to 9/11 was I “I have the tallest building in the city now.”

Wrong.

South Korea handled this because they don't have 70% of the population overweight.


This is like giving props to an all white community for handling sickle cell well.

Only 600 cases 18 deaths in GA on Day 1 opening up

Only 700 cases 8 deaths in GA on Day 2 opening up


Where’s JY?

[melanimal_old]

bro you know the incubation period. I still don't give **** though. I am not cheering against Georgia. If they fail the entire economy is going to crumble.

Wait, so I have to be held to logic and reason when I post but you two don’t?

Interesting.

I’ll keep you posted on today’s numbers later this evening

Smh

The full report of cases aren't tallied yet for GA.. I'll let you know soon bby Thanks for checking in tho!


As a preview early reports are pretty low. Only 185 cases and 8 deaths, which is lower than the first update that typically trickles in so all signs point to another strong day of reduced cases/deaths! I'll confirm total results once the rest is reported.

[SoutheastBeast1]

265 cases; 9 deaths

Lowest totals in GA since March

Lmao get c*cked JY and Democrats

King Trump and Prince Kemp pulling all the right strings

Does a sports bar qualify as a restaurant or a bar?

Thinking of hitting up my local sports bar tonight to celebrate restaurants opening today. JY let me know if it’s a good idea

Are the Hawks opening up their practice facility? I walked in while ESPN was mentioning something about it, but it was at the end.

[SpeedDemon9]

Texas opening back up this Friday per our Governor. I’ll take it, even with restrictions on place.

April 30th: Stay at home order expires

May 1st: Movie theaters, Malls, Restaurants, Retails Stores can reopen with 25% occupancy. Museums & churches can reopen too.

May 18th: phase 2 occupancy raises to 50%

Gyms and salons won’t open until phase 2, but again you have people mad. They want to stay locked down until June or July.

There’s a lot of gyms in GA voluntarily staying closed until mid May

Doesn’t make sense to me. If there’s that many people afraid to go to the gym it will be easy to distance with few there

If people aren’t afraid to go to them it means most want them open

Don’t need to be a mathematician to figure this one out. People acting like gyms are packed like rock concerts
