Safety Theater

Everyone's opinion here on RF is irrelevant.
But we've known that during every conversation.

Not all opinions are irrelevant. The USA is suffering a good deal due to lack of planning and poor leadership.

While the likelihood of this exact scenario at this exact time was extremely small, infinitesimally small, the likelihood of something similar was large. And the Trump administration reduced our preparedness. Whether it's because Obama instituted the epidemic "Rapid Response Team", or to save money to allow greater tax cuts, doesn't matter.

Many of the problems are not directly caused by the virus. They're because the USA was better prepared for an invasion from Canada than a highly contagious virus.

The opinion that Trump both reduced preparedness and reacted badly is not just my opinion.

You're not following the discussion you jumped into.
Someone said something stupid, & I responded to it.
You should read the thread.

You quoted me.
At least you quoted part of my post.
Then responded.
Is this issue your Alzheimer's acting up? Sorry.

Happy Easter!

You're ignoring earlier posts.
Ya gotta follow along.
(Just stay 6 meters away.)

ignoring earlier posts.

I am quite capable of ignoring things without depending on The RF Machine to do it for me.
Get it?

C'mon. You know that flipping your kilt always gets my attention.

White cops over-reacting to black rider?
Shock moment passenger is ‘dragged off Philadelphia bus by 10 cops for not wearing a face mask’
Excerpted.....
A PASSENGER was left angry and humiliated after he was filmed being
dragged off a bus by cops apparently for not wearing a face mask.

The bus driver, who himself was not wearing a mask, had ordered the
passenger to leave the bus in Philadelphia on Friday as he did not
have a face mask on - but the man refused.

The "rule" had been put up as an unenforceable suggestion on the SEPTA
website just the night before, leaving most passengers completely unaware.

The Philadelphia city transit system SEPTA has since said it would no
longer enforce their short-lived policy requiring passengers to wear a
facemask during the coronavirus pandemic.
