Red and Blue America Aren’t Experiencing the Same Pandemic; The disconnect is already shaping, even distorting, the nation’s response.

Sounds like that’s what they’re using. BTW I have one.

The Atlantic is an anti American rag. The magazine currently exists to destroy America.

Our county declared a SOE which placed the cops from three separate multiplicities under the Sheriff’s office.

Those city cops are now patrolling the rural areas and there’s a much higher LEO visibility. Along with that there seems to be a higher rate of traffic infractions being cited.

It’s like the county knows a lock-down is going to cause revenue to fall so their working overtime to fill the coffer as much as possible.

Have you looked at number of reported cases per capita?

I haven’t had time to do those calculations, but it could change some of the rankings.

Democrats are panicking nationwide because the big cities are their centers of power. Cities are how they collect their redistributed tax dollars from the federal government.
If the big cities lose their power politically through attrition and fear of death to the point where big city welfare queens won’t go out to vote Democrat, the democrats know they will lose the house and any remaining hope they have for gaining political power.
Their primary tools retaining power in the state, federal and local governments will be lost.

Cities are their “goose that lays the golden eggs” and without the goose they will not survive. Big cities are where democrats hide their voting fraud and corruption via ballot stuffing and voting dead people.

Cities are also where they hide millions of constituents otherwise known as illegal invaders.

Cities are their terrorist centers and are packed with legions of virulent and violent youth. Cities are how they manipulate numbers to control the nations largest electoral prizes.

These blue america communist enclaves will destroy themselves. Entrenched evil will slay the wicked.

Agreed. The flu is far more prevalent and statistically far more of a danger. I’m generally a fairly neat/circumspect guy, even more so during cold/flu season. I hate needles, so I’ve *never* gotten a flu shot. I haven’t had the flu in probably 20+ years. Literally cannot remember the last time, though I’m sure it was before we moved into our current place so that gives me a bound on it. Some decent precautions and discipline and we’ll be fine.

Yep, in another week or so..folks are going to get real tired of this nonsense.
In theory it sounded good..create a 2 week break and let the virus run its course.
The problem is people are handling the potentially nastiest germs each time they handle money.
Not to mention the 50-100 people all over the stores in close proximity is defeating the whole purpose for shutting down America.

This is why the reporter at today's White House press conference asked President Trump if he wanted a uniform national response to the virus.

Trump said no, each state should do what's right for their own situations.

...as the conservative publication The Bulwark recently documented.

Bill Krystol, the notoriously petulant Never Trumper, is the editor-in-chief of the Bulwark.

LOL, deomcrap Atlantic.

Nice but failed try.

Yup. All these red State govs see a quick easy way to condition the populace to government power and authority. It’s just the Commie way. These shutdowns are gonna kill a lot of small businesses though.

At least most of the blue States have been somewhat more reasonable, at least at the State level. Lord knows we’re still full of red cities, like Dallas shutting down all their restaurants...
