Re: A Covid Prediction If Biden Wins

Bingo. This right here says what I've been feeling for months now. I've been avoiding all threads other than game threads for this very reason, and I opened this one with trepidation. Sad to say, Spock seems even loonier than when he chased me off, and the strident left actually seems to make sense. To quote someone whose name I can't recall right now -- "Sad."Weyoun wrote: ↑Thu Nov 05, 2020 10:38 amAs a doctor on the front lines of this - and a lifelong Republican who cautiously voted for Biden - I feel the need to say that I am really embarrassed for you by your comments here.Spock wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:39 pmI know that many on my side of the aisle expect that there will be an endless series of lockdowns and so forth.

Sometimes I lean that way, but then I remember how Covid concerns seemed to evaporate among the left and MSM early this summer during the riots/protests/marches etc. So, I am going the other way with my prediction.
At the time of the riots/protests/marches it was not useful to use Covid as a hammer against Trump-It was basically "Covid? What Covid? There is nothing to see there."
I note how often CNN/MSNBC etc mention the Sturgis Bike Rally when they mention South Dakota, but they completely ignore the nationwide protests.
I predict that shortly after Biden's Inauguration-when Covid is no longer useful as a hammer against Trump-It will essentially be "Covid? What Covid? There is nothing to see there" again. And it will happen so fast that it will make your head spin and the usual suspects here will follow right along with it.
You used to have a perspective about life that I found refreshingly different, and I enjoyed reading your posts - back in the day.
This conspiracy mongering nonsense, obscuration of facts, and the minimizing of human suffering is beneath you, or at least the person who posted five years ago.

I echo that. I'm happy to see you back and to have your perspective. I'll be interested to see if there is any response.silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Thu Nov 05, 2020 10:49 amGlad to see you back on the Bored.

We usually hear from politicians, not people who deal with this disease first hand.
Considering that the first thing he's done is to put together a Covid task force, I doubt his concerns are going away.
Bringing this forward. Of all of Spock's wrongheaded "predictions," this one has to be the most spectacular failure. Sadly, it's the country as a whole that is paying the price, including a whole lot of people in the states that felt the same way he does.Spock wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:39 pmI predict that shortly after Biden's Inauguration-when Covid is no longer useful as a hammer against Trump-It will essentially be "Covid?

I find it telling that there hasn't been a peep out of him for two weeks. I date this radio silence, not to any response from what he would call 'the usual suspects,' but from Weyoun's reply - someone with impeccable medical and conservative credentials who came out of the past for the express purpose of smacking him down.silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 10:31 pmBringing this forward.

Maybe he caught the virus. SirG did and has stopped his criticisms.franktangredi wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 8:01 amI find it telling that there hasn't been a peep out of him for two weeks.
