    The reality of the situation, and tone of what we are hearing from the medical experts (Fauci, and now birx) seems much more serious...

    Not sure how widespread is this dividing altitude toward social distancing between the left and right. I have seen this personally but haven’t seen it quantified, although I did see a recent poll that show some 90% are practicing social distancing...

    Americans need to stop pointing fingers now and look at themselves. What can WE do? Stop looking at politicians and start doing whatever you can and encourage others! We have to take it seriously and make changes.

    We let it get out of control because people in America didn't think that it could happen in the U.S. The country is soft and decadent. It is time we stop assuming it can't happen to us. Make a mask if you don't have one and even better don't go out and social distance. Our country will have to implement more draconian measures if we do not step up our game.

    FDA grants emergency authorisation to chloroquine for COVID-19

    https://www.pmlive.com/pharma_news/...orisation_to_chloroquine_for_covid-19_1331981


    The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of the decades old anti-malaria drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine after preliminary data showed they had efficacy against COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
    ------


    Ignore media smears about this medicine and fish tank cleaner and people tying this to Trump. Doctors who actually know their stuff are taking this treatment seriously. The FDA is on board. Let's hope this helps get deaths down.

    Something that he can not own up to. Which points to a personal vendetta.

    I don't know if this is a left vs right thing .... but more of a common fking sense thing - Some people are just stupid and you can't fix stupid.

    Talk to me from over there .... way over there.

    The hate for Asian Americans is disgusting, and it's just shocking the efforts by the right to create more stigma vs fighting this

    I am just taking your speculation to its end game. By not giving a reason, they are admitting there is not a legitimate reason, otherwise they would have provided one.

    China Virus is China Virus. Not Chinese-American Virus. It didn't come from a demographic. It came from an enemy of America. The more people conflate the two, the more the CCP smiles. They want people to get in people's face for calling China out. Call it what you want buddy, but don't forget who did this to the world. The CCP must be made to pay for its crimes against humanity.

    Insanity, the leaders of that church should be ashamed and the boarder community to encourage them to stop.

    Our church has gone to video streaming (three different services on Sunday, plus streamed worship services during the week). I started a Zoom bible study for our men's group on Tuesday mornings to replace our in-person meetings and now helping other groups do the same. A number of the technology companies have offered free or discounted services to church groups (though I am paying the normal $15 month). We're also looking to continue to serve the local and broader community where appropriate.

    You're saying China (the Chinese Communists to put a finer point on it) released a pandemic on the world on purpose?

    What difference does it make at this point except to flame up hatred? Is that your motivation here? Why do you keep needing to foster this stigma when you know all it does it get people to attack Asians?

    Given your history of support for White Nationalistic ideas, I suspect your motives are still aligned with theirs.
