Ferret Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Why is it important for people to even believe that these workers were Mexican at all? They're seasonal workers and it has not been verified from where they came nor what mode of transportation they used nor with whom they had contact before diagnosis so it can't even be said that they brought it in. Lots of variables which are unknown. How can any single one of us say that we are not asymptomatic carriers? We can't because we haven't been tested. Protect yourself and protect your neighbours.

That is just the way it is and they don't even deny it any more. Im encouraged that you know we had a Republic in the beginning. Was it Benjamin Franklin that said "if we can keep it !!" A Democracy always crumbles into Socialism and then when Socialism emplodes because the haves are tired of supporting the have nots, a Despot comes riding in on a white horse to save the day and they become Dictatorships. Our founding fathers knew this. In a Democracy when the majority rule they can pass a law that the majority feel it is best to kill everyone over 70, and guess what? That is the law. Also in a democracy, New York and California will make all the decisions, the rural people have no say. That was the brilliance of our founding fathers who instituted an Electoral College to have equal representation. Our history books have been rewritten so that the younger generation and even some of us older people dont have a clue to the beauty of a Republic. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but CNN is reporting it's Mexicans, unabashadly, and that can carry far too much weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politics have nothing to do with the spread of a Pandemic. Virus' (and bacteria) do not vote and do not recognize borders. RESPECT their destructive capabilities and protect yourself and others. I have NO respect for ANYONE (of any party affiliation anywhere) who downplays it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexLuis Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 On 4/2/2020 at 11:39 AM, Eric Blair said: To paraphrase Edgar aAllan Poe, Believe half of what you see, less than what you read on the news, and nothing from Facebook. Numbers are often made up to prove what the provider says. Truth is that 85% of statistics people quote are not true, intentionally or by mistake of belief. I go with the CDC, WHO and Mayo Clinic. "Hi, I'm from the government and I'm here to help you." My favorite, that might be true, is that Trump wanted his name to be on stimulus checks. This was alleged in the WSJ as having come from an unnamed inside source. Personally, I don't doubt it. Source Wall Street Journal and repeated by esquire in case you do not have a Wall Street Journal Subscription: https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a31968811/trump-signature-coronavirus-stimulus-checks/ "But despite the bipartisan nature of the emergency package, the Wall Street Journal reports that the president wants to inject a truly Trumpian measure: He'd like Americans to see his signature on the stimulus checks they receive." Add that to the following: We won't even go into details about his tweet about coronavirus ratings being a hit. It went on from there but, well, you get the idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
