Want me to dig up where you called Trump racist for trying to do the same thing early on in the discussion, Ted?

Yep, because I've never said that. I'll go as far as to say it's 100% you're just lying again. Prove me wrong. Until then I'll go back to ignoring you.

A National Mask Mandate Could Save The U.S. Economy $1 Trillion per year
Forbes reports on a new analysis from Goldman Sachs:
Goldman’s analysts found that wearing face coverings has a significant impact on coronavirus outcomes, and they suggest that a federal mask mandate would “meaningfully” increase mask usage across the country, especially in states like Florida and Texas, where masks are not currently required. The researchers estimate that a national mandate would increase the portion of people who wearing masks by 15%, and cut the daily growth of new cases by between 0.6% and 1%.
Reducing the spread of the virus through mask-wearing, the analysts found, could be a substitute for strict lockdown measures that would otherwise shave 5%—or $1 trillion—off the U.S. GDP.

In short, a federal mask mandate would likely make a difference of $1 trillion in GDP. And it would be more convenient too! Which would you rather have, another business lockdown or a mask mandate?
This is yet another indication that if we want to save the economy, we have to crush the virus. It’s not enough to reopen and declare Mission Accomplished. People simply won’t go back to their normal habits until it’s safe, and mask usage is a key component of that.
The hell of it is that this is the one thing that Donald Trump will never, ever agree to. Trump is literally incapable of admitting error, even implicitly, which means he will never go on TV and declare that everyone should wear a mask. Quite the contrary: he’s more likely to double down and declare that mask wearing is ridiculous and useless. He’s probably the only person in America who could effectively deliver the mask message to the people who really need it, but he refuses to do so. Never in a million years would I have guessed that a president of the United States would ever act like this.

How would you know? You don't remember what you post a week after you post it. It's the only explanation for why you contradict yourself everyday.
Good. Ignore me. I don't give a shit about your Anti-American and racist opinions anyhow.

She has been a Democrat for a very long time, been a devout follower of all required facets of the Democrat religion, and has chosen to spend her life in a Democrat hellhole. No need to ride anybody right now, this is what they have believed all of their lives.
As the DNC (Does Not Care) party mantra goes, never let a good crisis go to waste - get more Government Control out of it, More Government funding, Bigger Government, more expansive Government.
As for Nationalized Health Care, Universal Health Care, Government Health Care, etc - this is what the vaunted Italian system is, and they have 1/3 o the ICU beds per capita as the U.S. does. Their Death Panels are overwhelmed with decisions of who to kill and who to treat. Their individual hospitals are overwhelmed with death decisions of who to kill or let die, every floor of these hospitals is overwhelmed with who to kill, and each doctor or specialist is overwhelmed with decisions of who to kill - socialized Health Care is the Utopian model. They also mentioned that some specific hospitals in their nationalized system (like Lombardy) are even more better funded and equipped than other hospitals in the same system - where everything is equal.
This is just jerkwad Kevin making shit up as usual, and you, being the slackjawed sidekick you are, going along with it. If either of you had any trace of honor or honesty left in you, you'd be just a little bit ashamed of colluding together to lie so egregiously. But you aren't.
Just for the record ...
... you are both lying sack-of-shit raw oozing...
ASSHOLES.
Here we have a post from 16 March. In it, kiki includes a quote of a post of mine from 16 March, which was the last day I was able to post until this week. I had intended to reply right away, but could not.
I think kiki had every reason and expectation to reply to me in this way.
I must apologize for my post and it's contents. I had not realized it was inaccurate. I had truly thought that I had viewed posts from kiki which reflected the things I said, and I thought I was merely pointing them out.
I had thought as well that kiki did believe the concept which I had posted, and had not recalled any posts of hers which conflicted with what I had thought about her views.
I will assume that what she has stated in her repl

The best I'm going to find about Ted posting that Trump was racist for suggesting a travel ban was the same thing I posted to Second on March 26th.
We all know you called him a racist for it Ted. You've got 200 threads with a bunch of bullshit that's hard to stift through. But if the Legacy Media "reported" bad things about Trump, you posted the link and some dumb cartoons about it.

Who Says It’s Not Safe to Travel to China?
Sadly, one doesn’t have to look far for evidence of these top-down decisions morphing into outright racism within the general population, a trend that has a long history in the narrative of outbreaks such as this one.
Coronavirus shares something in common with other kinds of civil disruption, natural disasters or emergencies that affect localized travel industries: Its destructive power lies not in the actual risk but in the perception of that risk. Numerous experts have said that the majority of people who contract coronavirus will experience it as a respiratory infection they will fully recover from. But the extreme reactions — the canceling of flights, closing of borders and level-four travel warnings — seem more appropriate for something much worse.
With the rhetoric surrounding coronavirus, however, it appears the astonishing growth of the Chinese travel market in the past 15 years did little to rid the industry of the impulse to treat Chinese travelers as “others” in the face of doubt and uncertainty. Canceling flights, cruises and locking down borders when it’s not advised by international agencies will be not only an act of economic self-harm but also a wasted opportunity to learn from the mistakes of the past.
Well, Rosie. That article hasn't aged well, has it?
Have we learned anything from mistakes of the very recent past yet?
I'll bet you haven't. I'll bet when the COVID thing blows over you'll be at the front lines of the Legacy Media to open our boarders wide to everybody else and call anybody who doesn't agree with you a Nationalist, as if that is a bad word or something.

The coronavirus exposes the history of racism and “cleanliness”
While the epidemic may be new, xenophobia has been intertwined with public health discourse for a very long time.
Quote:
While panic about a sudden, deadly virus is to be expected, some fears — especially in North America and the West — have been based on something other than health. The panic has exposed a deep-seated xenophobia, and with it, a symptom of its own has surfaced: hostility toward East Asian people.
Maybe if instead of listening to the Twitter Mob and the Legacy Media lefty shills and they did what I said all along and shut down all flights when I said to, including for US citizens who were abroad (which JSF said I was being un-American by suggesting), we wouldn't have it spreading in the US now and terrorizing people like Kiki and Sigs.

As the coronavirus spreads, fear is fueling racism and xenophobia
Quote:
Toronto Mayor John Tory also spoke out this week about the coronavirus panic. "Standing with our Chinese community against stigmatization and discrimination," he said. "We must not allow fear to triumph over our values as a city."
Well... those of you who are still standing right now, be sure to do it at least 6 feet apart from each other, mkay?

But that's nothing compared with the flu, also called influenza. In the U.S. alone, the flu has already caused an estimated 26 million illnesses, 250,000 hospitalizations and 14,000 deaths this season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

On a personal note: I have no allergies, I take no medicines, other than an annual flu shot and the two pneumonia vaccines and I have not been sick even once in the 21st Century. I also passed my immunity to disease onto my children and grandchildren. It follows that I am not a panicky troll like 1kiki is about coronavirus.

I thought this was an interesting post by Second from February 24th while looking for Ted's comments on Trump's racist travel bans that CNN and Vox and MSNBC and MotherJones among others were all calling racist before The Coomph became a thing here.
Especially funny now since Second wants an authoritarian mandate requiring everyone to wear a mask outside.
He's gone full blown Karen in a few months it seems.
Maybe you should apologize to Kiki now, Second, since you both seem to share the same zipcode in Karenville in July.
