    Personal opinion:
    1) MSM blabbering; trying to pin something, ANYTHING on Trump to hopefully get him rejected in November;
    2) 24/7 coverage of 19, not only keeping the public "informed" but also reporting(?) like this is the only problem in this world today!!
    3) The dim elite (Pelosi, Shiff et al) using this for political gain (never let a crisis go to waste!:Mad:Mad).

    Years ago I used to be extremely "environmentally" minded, but the radicals took over the mission and almost got me (note - ALMOST) to wanting to just pour the used oil from my car onto the ground. Same with PETA!!

    The abuse, IMHO, of this virus seems to me to be getting scarily close to the above noted - a true problem, BUT being used as a "tool" to get political points through the back door that would never be accepted coming through the front door!

    Thank goodness HE is still in charge!!:)

    Edited to add: I blame both R, D, & I for this, though the Ds are primarily the offensive ones! (pun intended:Laugh)

    back to the comparison of our YTD COVID-19 death count as compared to last years abortion count
    approximately

    COVID - 10,000
    ABORTIONS - 220,000

    These abortions are premeditated killings and that's acceptable to society.
    presumably these abortions are being performed in many of the same hospitals in which the COVID-19 victims are dieing.

    we teeter on the brink of panic for the virus deaths while we hide in our homes, while we shut down the nations economy this Easter week.

    but HO-HUM for the wilful slaughter of babes in the womb.

    for those of us who are pro-life it just doesn't compute... that's my point i guess.

    I was talking to the director of the Care-net - He told me down South - many clients (more so than up North) come from Christian homes - so sad.

    Are they born again... see, how can you do that and be born again, since the two are polar opposites.

    Easy... it’s not considered a baby (a human being). Thus the abortion curtails an unwanted pregnancy.

    We are talking about more than the court’s rulings to stop the termination of pregnancies in any state in the USA. Battling the high court ruling... indeed, reversing R V W resolves nothing without the greater societal changes in morality & decency.... ie when a fetus becomes a living breathing baby owed the same right to life as we do and a child of God and not a insignificant surgical procedure to eradicate an inconvenience will we have changed the corner.

    Well, HD, you’ve got me thinking about it. I’m now thinking about what ages are more susceptible to COVID-19, and it’s not the young. Not so long ago, they were reporting that Millennials are more pro-life than their parents, who may have even aborted their siblings.

    With the legally established attitude that babies in the womb are fair game, there is less reason younger people should have any particular concern for the older right now. Why should they feel compelled to sacrifice their economic future for a few old people “who are gonna die anyway”?

    We older folk are VERY EXPENSIVE.

    i receive 2400/month social security with medicare/veteran expenses. possible nursing home coming.
    Assisted Living expenses will be even worse if i turn into a vegetable (stroke - already had 1).

    a lot cheaper just to pay the death benefit.

    doesn't matter that i paid into the system MY ENTIRE WORKING CAREER - oh WAIT - they robbed the unrobbable SSA FUND. YA, cheaper just to bump me off.

    my local statistics - Mason county Washington State - 60,000 population 18 total cases of COVID-19 - No deaths.

    I went into Shelton today for auto repair, no one wearing masks, about half the usual traffic/people as usual, most businesses open except restaurants without "to go" services.

    did see a portable electric sign on State Route 3 "please say home".

    You do like to live dangerously, don't you? Were you not wearing a mask either?

    Glad there are no deaths there. Now keep it that way.

    And as they drive by, everyone says, "Home." :Wink But it might work if everyone is chauffeured. :eek:

    you might want to find out from your governor, senator, congressman what their recovery plan is before its too late

    REMEMBER WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID - THE CURE SHOULD NOT be WORSE THAN THE DISEASE.

    So wear your mask if it makes you feel better.

    I see folks on the TV in the Seattle area with masks. but they figured out the cure and have already closed down a temporary hospital.

    YOU WILL NEVER NEVER NEVER HEAR ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT THE VIRUS SYMPTOMATIC CURE ON THE GLOBAL/COMMUNIST CHINA USA NATIONAL NEWS. "ITS SNAKE OIL"

    SYMPTOMATIC CURE = hydroxychloroquine. President Trump has called for 40 million doses for all who want it.
    Cuomo has outlawed its use IN NY. He and his cronies have BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS.
    OBVIOUSLY BABY MURDERERS HAVE NO QUALMS ABOUT ELIMINATING THE "USELESS" SENIOR CITIZENS.

    WASHINGTON IS A LIBERAL STATE BUT HAS CHOSEN TO TELL THE GLOBAL COMMUNISTS WHERE TO GO.

    Actually we are just finishing up with phase one of COVID-19. No one knows when COVID 2.0 WILL HAPPEN.
    As early as fall perhaps,

    pray to the father for a vaccine TO ELIMINATE THIS VIRUS,
    make sure your representatives support the president and the use of hydroxychloroquine.

    WE ARE AT WAR WITH CHINA. (my opinion of course).

    The thing is, Communist China has long been on a mission to be the international superpower and we have been helping them big league. We're beyond stupid. It remains to be seen whether this can be fixed, but the saying goes, "You can't fix stupid."
