WTF? I thought the prez said this would all go away last Wednesday?

Totally agree with you, Robert. Trump takes over for the drug-addled Limbaugh in 2021.

It was V8 Vega that said it would go away on this forum. I said it would be around all next year as liberals and the liberal media will still be blaming Trump for every screw up the democrats make

And right now the liberals in NYC are doing a good job of hooching the pooch

But what can you expect when 20 percent of NYC is mentally defective

If Biden wins he gets sworn in Jan. 20th, 2 1/2 months from now. By then the virus probably will be dying down and the media will praise Biden to the high heavens over and over and constantly their God. The fact that that A hole did nothing that dosent matter.

And what did Trump actually do for the People ?
I'd love to see that elucidated.

Unfortunately for all of us - liberals and Trumpkins alike - Coronavirus has taken a deadly turn, and may not be gone by Jan 20. California has been relatively careful, but I see signs of South Dakota-style rebellion, and we may be next for a spike. Closing in on a million cases right now.

We are on what looks very much like the leading edge of a giant spike - blame it on testing if you want, but be careful! Some folks have become desperately ill with this monster, and I think we are closing in on a quarter million dead. Argue if you want that death certificates are being faked, but check out the availability of ICU beds?

Be careful out there!

Bob,
I agree. Especially with being careful.

It's not going away by Jan 20. That thinking is just plain stupid; diseases do not just go away.

Think and look at what's going on in El Paso right now where they are storing the bodies in refrigerated trucks.......

It's right about on time; I was thinking lat Nov. - roughly a month after the intersection of a month with schools open, sports, elections rallys and gatherings, and then voting. Do everything perfectly and maybe escape but we all know way too many people failed to take care of themselves and each other. Sadly we have too many selfish people that don't care about others.

More nonsense; again, go to El Paso.

Be careful out there!

Rarely go out; only as needed. Skipped this week's grocery run. Did run in/out of the library; worried that will get locked down or we'll go back to curb side service.

Super bowl is just one big party for those that go. I gave up watching it on TV 20 years ago when they turned it into a circus. Looks like the HOOKERS will be out of business this year

I think superbowl halftime is for tv, not those at the game.
So what if not many are there? Again we are being shown
how important sports are in this country.

"How is that so when most everyplace you go people are wearing masks and social distancing?"

Locally, it's private parties, bars and events where people aren't masked, mainly the first of these, particularly students and younger folks. Very few new infections amongst those in their 60s and older. Hundreds daily amongst those in their 20s and 30s. You don't see the people without masks because you weren't invited (thank your lucky stars.). We were down to around 10-20 new cases a day. Yesterday was around 280.

Like my neighbors.....

I suspect that our hobby is going to be decimated by the superspreader events the President held in weeks prior to the election.

The crowds I saw on tv looked just like the crowds I used to see at train shows when it was safe to go to those. He held a superspreader event in Montoursville (Bowser), another in Waukesha (Kalmbach), another in Ocala (brasstrains.com), another in Lancaster (Strasburg, TCA museum, etc.), another in Scranton (Steamtown, Grzyboski's), another in The Villages, etc.

Philly Health Officials Say ‘Complete Lockdown’ Is On The Table As COVID-19 Cases Spike In City
https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2020/ ... n-results/

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — With the Garden State tightening restrictions on indoor dining in response to recent spikes in COVID-19 cases, many are wondering if Philadelphia will be doing the same. The warning bells are being sounded by Pennsylvania’s health officials.

The protests, celebrations and demonstrations over the election and vote tallying are also a concern. Farley is urging anyone who participated — even while wearing a mask — to get tested for COVID-19 after seven days and quarantine for two weeks.

Biden's new chief of staff praised de Blasio for holding large dinner to put COVID fears to rest

President-elect Joe Biden's pick for chief of staff Ron Klain previously decried a "fear epidemic" at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, and praised New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for participating in a large dinner in Queens.

"We don’t have a #COVIDー19 epidemic in the US but we are starting to see a fear epidemic," Klain said in a tweet dated Feb. 13. "Kudos to @NYCMayor (and others) for standing against that."

De Blasio had tweeted photos of the event, including one in which he's surrounded by nearly a dozen people at a table. "Our Chinatowns are open for business — make some dinner plans, do some shopping and stand with our neighbors!" he said.

In January, Klain similarly penned a Washington Post op-ed in which he cautioned against public officials making decisions out of fear -- specifically attacking the president's proposed ban on travel from China.

"The first victim of an infectious disease outbreak is often rational decision-making; fear can spread even faster than disease in an era where social media can transmit misinformation in a manner not ironically called 'going viral,'" wrote he and Nicole Lurie, a former Health and Human Services official under Obama.
