Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

There are 20 states with Democratic governors and which voted for Biden. Their all-time positivity rate is 5.95%.
There are 20 states with GOP governors and which voted for Trump. Their all-time positivity rate is 9.70%.

 

Didn't the GOP governors just sue the Dem states alleging that the Dem positivity rate was wrongly calculated?? [cross-thread]

 

It’s one guy. No big deal. It’ll be gone by Easter!

 

Can't even use these deaths as a pretence to invade someone.

 

States with most deaths/100K, Sept. 1-Dec. 9 with Governor's party:
North Dakota (R) 123.54
South Dakota (R) 108.52
Arkansas (R) 64.89
Montana (D) 61.28
Mississippi (R) 51.79

You might say Black Hills Barbie is really killing it.

 

Or to gin patriotism since it’s now every man for himself.

 

Our gov in Virginia announced some new restrictions today that didn't have a lot of teeth ... stay at home between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m. (probably meant to curb college parties) ... increased mask enforcement in restaurants, gyms, etc. A lot of people are pissed that he didn't shut everything down.

Counterpoint: If you shut down local restaurants/businesses right now without any federal help, you're signing their death certificates. They will not survive this time.

I've been vocal here about the fact that I've gone out to my gym and the same three bars/restaurants since May with little issue. I'm quite pro mask and I wear mine all the time in the gym. I know I'm taking some risk. I get that. But these places have done everything right, and I would hate them to lose everything over a new shutdown. Northam specifically called out Trump at his presser today, basically saying that the federal government has checked out on the virus. He's not wrong.

 

I hope the Covid denier pays up.

 

9/11 - always remember - unless its inconvenient and the more recent deaths harsh your political mellow.
