In thirty minutes time here in England... we will be in full lockdown again. I personally go along with such a decision! I agree David. I think if things are that bad it needs to be to curb the numbers. |

Trump talks about the economy being his priority
I say preserving life my and your priority...
and so do most folk...
Hence the reason his possibility of winning the election
is most precarious, now that Biden has only six electoral
votes to win Michelle.

An extract from todays New York Times
A terrifying U.S. record: more than 100,000 cases in a day, two days running
While Americans focused on a nail-biting stream of election results, the country reached a tragic record, recording more than 100,000 new daily cases on both Wednesday and Thursday — a global first.
In contrast to the spring, when outbreaks were occurring largely in the Northeast, and the summer, when they were clustered in the Sun Belt, the pandemic has now engulfed most of the nation, reaching new heights in nearly half of the country. Twenty-three states recorded more cases over the past week than in any other seven-day stretch.
Places like Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado and Indiana have all hit single-day case records. Regionally, the Midwest and the Great Plains — including North and South Dakota and Wisconsin — have for weeks led the country in cases per capita, and the infection rates are getting worse.
Those hunting for signs of progress will be hard pressed to find any. Deaths related to the virus, which lag behind case reports, have increased 21 percent across the country in the past two weeks, reaching 1,616 on Wednesday. More than 50,000 people are hospitalized with Covid-19 across the country, an increase of roughly 64 percent since the beginning of October.
And while things are bad now, to be blunt, there are very real possibilities that they’ll worsen over the coming month. Tens of millions of Americans turned out to vote in person in the presidential race this week. Earlier this week, our colleague Sarah Mervosh told us that after the last time Americans voted during a pandemic (in 1918), infections remained high for months, although there were other contributing factors.
Given that the incubation period of the virus can range up to two weeks, we can expect to have a better idea of election-linked cases before Thanksgiving — which is when hundreds of thousands of college students will travel home, and family gatherings could become petri dishes for the virus.

It is getting very bad in my country. And no plan in place until the new president gets into office. People in el paso Texas are dying and they have refrigerated trucks putting the bodies in. Experts say we are heading for a very dark winter with the covid.
You would think this would be a crime what they are doing over here. Or should I say not doing.😥 The new president has started a task force but cannot enforce it until he is sworn in.

My governor in my state put a curfew from 10 pm to 5 am. Shute most people are sleeping at that time but I guess it will keep the late night drinkers in.

Was watching Fox News just now and the governor of Arizona spent 30 minutes pushing the use of masks. No lock down. Businesses to remain open. Schools to remain open. "I am not in the lock everything down camp." OK.I guess you are in the rely on masks alone camp. Good luck with that. You have a very odd country Chelle I must say. Very lax attitude and approach to this virus from decision makers at all levels not just Presidential. |

It's because the president put the governor's of each state in charge of safety measures but he puts pressure on the governor's if they lock down. If they do anything against him he goes after them and his followers give death threats to those who do. Even our government pandemic doctor. We have citizen's walking around at state house doors with assault rifles if they go against this idiot. Someone threatened to behead him yes the doctor !!!!! Herc I never seen anything like this in my life. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/10/08/feds-thwart-militia-plot-kidnap-michigan-gov-gretchen-whitmer/5922301002/Read this link above herc |

It has become dysfunctional. Why though did Trump get 48.5% of the popular vote instead of just the lunatic fringe 10%? The whole world wants to know how he got so many votes? |
