Or you might even take a test yourself to confirm and then isolate or not based on that. The fact that the author doesn't consider that as a logical next step destroys his whole argument. What an incredibly weak article. It doesn'

Of course. That's corporate America strategy #1. Never fix anything, never concede to anyone, never admit wrong, and if all else fails distract with a PR campaign or by donating a tiny amount of money. As if the damage a company like A

What should or shouldn't matter is irrelevant and pretending like it's relevant is naive. It does matter. That's a fact. You want to take your argument to 1850 and argue what should and shouldn't matter? We fought the bl

And waste the other 40% on random wars with random countries who pose no threat (which we will lose, of course), imprisoning people for no reason, and just general corruption and kickbacks to the American oligarchy who funded the elections.

> Why do things in America work so different? It's not (yet) a third world country, That's debatable but regardless, we are speeding there as fast as we can. That's why. You already have the answer. For 80 to 90% of the po

Walking past each other and people standing close to each other both imply close contact at less than two meters. Coughing can send the virus around seven meters. You do the math.

Then we need to start accepting it. Those that don't will be the assholes who kill their employees and co-workers. Legislating sick time off, like every other developed country in the world and many that aren't, is what we really

> Let's say two people walk past each other on the street or stand close in a shop, as far as we know the risk of transmission is non-existent or extremely low. WTF? What we know is exactly the opposite.

Stock buybacks are blatant market manipulation. There is not even the pretense of anything else. The CEOs are making themselves richer at the expense of the company and its customers. Companies that have engaged in such activity deserve to

Not having advanced medical equipment or doctors is one way to have a health system that doesn't work. Not hiring a programmer to write you a script to connect two systems during the worst unemployment event in almost a hundred years i

38000 tests in a country of 10 million. [1] Yeah, they have a handle on it alright. Seems pretty dumb to claim this at this point or to write this article and leave out that crucial figure. They have no fucking idea what's happening in

I'm sure that fact will be comforting to the millions of people getting evicted and going hungry on the streets which will happen the day evictions are allowed again, which in many places is today. $1200 isn't going to go far for

We should have started preparing the day we knew a c19 patient was in the US. I think that was late January. Definitely should have had a lockdown by late February at the latest but earlier would have been better and feasible. When the who

About fucking time. It's impossible to know how many people the previous advice cost. Or how much trust was lost.

That's beyond absurd. So we get cheap, unnecessary items, while many don't have access to healthcare, are homeless, are literally starving, or all three and that somehow makes it impossible to say whether capitalism is good or bad

Our first case was in January. The US acted too slowly and worse, they acted incompetently. The borders were not actually closed so we knowingly brought back infected people without testing and without quarantining them. That's not clo

Or even simpler, we could have a one person, one vote system. It would have worked in 2016 and 2000. When you have a system where the less popular candidate wins regularly, is it any wonder people are disillusioned by it? Let's not eve

The president's actions, specifically his lack of action, are a huge part of why the pandemic is so bad in the US. I hope people remember that he is the reason for the late action, the bungled tests, the lack of cdc funding, the lack o
