He's talking specifically about testing.
I certainly don't want to imply that it's not your right.....it is....
And I appreciate your last post.
I obviously disagree with some on this thread. But I've enjoyed discussing football with them for a long time and just hope that these discussions can stay civil because there will be a time when we we all get to discuss Georgia football again. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
OK.....it just seems easy to pass blame on something that no one has ever had any experience handling.
Good news...positive cases and hospital admits have been dropping in nyc. hopefully these are positive signs and keep continuing
seeing as how NYC has the GDP roughly the same size as Canada, the country is going to need us to come back sooner rather than later.
These are some interesting charts...
On a side note, for a roll of TP, I will PM the person concerned with DV's the member's name who gave them the DV.....
Yep.....New York is more than just moderately important.......they are needed.
I might be willing to part with a few squares, but a whole roll is a high price to pay right now.
But Tex, this isn't a brand new situation that the planet has no experience in handling. We have dealt with other coronaviruses in the past. We have dealt with other pandemics in the past. Each new pandemic does not warrant a built-from-scratch response. We would never get anything done.
To me, this comparison would be like saying a firefighter has dealt with dozens of house fires, but he would have no clue what to do in a business or apartment fire because they aren't the same exact thing.
I see that. Depends on what matters most at this point. For some reason, I don't feel anyone gives a rat's a$$ about DV's if it means giving up TP....😉
Let's don't go there. Last warning for this thread for all.....
With all due respect CT......Yes there have been other corona viruses in the past......but what has compared to this?
What have other administrations done that protected us from those other pandemics...
Canceled flights from China and Europe? Halted the worlds greatest economy?
Seriously........what did other administrations have to do?
Were Obama and Bush so on top of things that other pandemics didn't have a chance. Were they so stock piled with ventilators, masks and PPE that everything was under control?
I'm 52 years old and in my lifetime nothing has come close to approaching this. I have no idea what year swine flu, bird flu, duck flu or whatever flu occured......but I'll never forget the year that we went from minuscule unemployment to record unemployment in a matter of days.
So yes.....I believe this is significantly different.
Seriously.....then close the thread. I understand the rules of Dawgnation......but what was wrong with the comment.
This thread is on Dawgnation and it's political.....this isn't about football, recruiting, Kirby or whatever....
It's a difficult subject and POLITICS are involved....
If it's not appropriate......close it down.
I think part of the issue is that in countries that had early responses, they didn't have to shut their entire country down.
S. Korea never shut down. Germany never shut down. Maybe other arguments could be made, but it seems pretty obvious to me that's because they took it seriously and heavily invested in testing.
If testing's better, there's a chance we never had to shut down in the first place.
That is @Kasey 's doing, not mine.....
@Kasey I think we're all good on the thread at present time. No personal attacks, everybody is playing nice. I just think there's always going to be a political flavor to every discussion of COVID-19. But I would rather still keep the discussions going.
