Maybe anyone with a passport will be denied entry into US bound planes?
Likewise, my agenda is to know as much as possible about this infection in order to properly protect myself and my family, so I have no idea why you directed your vitriolic comment to me. I have never been in the “it’s just the flu” camp. Ready, fire, aim?
I am not lashing out
People are saying the two statements can be reconciled and we are idiots because we cant reconcile them
They cant be reconciled as far as I can see.
I am asking you to reconcile them for me. Maybe I am missing something
How do I come home from France if I tested positive if All Americans can come home.
It is a simple question.
Doesn’t matter if the medical stuff is sanctioned or not, Europe, Iran, the US Iran lobby, the Norks, and China are still going to pretend the virus is somehow worse because of sanctions ...not because they care about sick people [they don’t] but because it gives the Europeans an excuse not to renew sanctions.
The hype about the virus is an effort to Katrina-ize it so it can be used to justify normalization with Iran.
“ Boy howdy, I hope you have thick skin because the barbs are coming.”
There’s a huge difference between acknowledging the actual risk according to known facts and all these magic 8 ball readers and those determined -and succeeding- to damage Trump so much walking dead Biden looks good.
Right now there’s a bigger chance that you can get the virus and never know it than there is of dying from it. Most will endure some level discomfort, what that consists of is determined by your level of health on your best day.
You said everyone has an agenda.
And THAT is my agenda.
Not because I am short the market
Not because I am an Anti Trumper
Not because I am a liberal
or any of the other stupid comments I Have seen
And I am also not panicking...yet.
But reserve the right..and pretty much think I know the tipping point when it will happen..but I might not even panic then.
You think you will know you will react in a situation but until it happens you dont
I once won a jackpot at a Casino. Under 100K
.I alway imagined what it would be like and what my reaction would be like.
It wasn’t. And it sort of shocked me that it wasn’t .
In that moment, I just sat there , shrugged, and thought about the taxes. Never would I Have thought that would be my reaction.
THIS
Been suggested here a couple of times.
I’m all for it.
This post might be a PERFECT example of what you were trying to tell me...you know...glass half full or empty
Win a huge jackpot- more than some people make in a year. Dont get excited even as people are congratulating me.
Instead thinking about taxes.... and how it is going to effect a number of things. ..and then damn..I am now going to have to keep a diary so I can write off losses.
I did take a picture of it though and sometimes smile..and laugh a lot about the whole thing.
That was in the morning, it's a rapidly evolving situation.
I dont really have a problem with it.
We have to be fluid.
But you have to at least acknowledge it contradicts and then try to figure out whats what.
Wish we would ban more countries
How do I come home from France if I tested positive if All Americans can come home.

You keep making this statement as it relates to you personally.
Are you in France? Are you infected with the Coronavirus?
When I heard Trump speaking, if you go by the written or worded transcript may have said what you said he said, but from his demeanor and in the CONTEXT of his speech, I UNDERSTOOD him to ‘mean’ that Americans WOULD be let back in the country, albeit with proper monitoring or quarantine and testing if needed. Pence came accross the same way. There was no distinction between the two in their approach to this in my mind. But yes, if you want to be extremely technical and take a ‘Schiff’ like approach to it....whatever
Rummy, are you saying that you remember our conversation about the proverbial “glass?”
That is so sweet.
I am happy you won something. I think I recall you do like to take chances.
And of course these interests knew Trump would recognize the hype for what it is and not treat the disease seriously at which point they’d bash him for being callous and uncaring all the way to election day.... but instead he’s treating it as if it is everything it’s advertised to be, calling for all efforts and even going beyond the call of duty to beat it, so their plan A has failed and worse, they can’t really argue against his proposed measures because they have driven the hyperventilating in the first place and to argue against his response to treat it as a pandemic worse than 1918 is to argue against their own shrill storyline. So, they’re working on a Plan B now. Eventually they’ll get to Plan X and blame him for excessive reaction to it just like they eventually got around to a hail Mary pass of blaming Bush for excessive reaction to the Iraqi WMD that they’d hyped for years; but for now they’re still squirming and holding the corona-ball not knowing what play to make. They miscalculated that Trump would react to this in the same way Obama did to SARS and ebola. Instead he can treat it as the Black Plague and the US can certainly use it as practice for such.
Iran is desperate enough to try anything at this point so we can never be too careful.
Yes...and it fits perfectly with what you said...but I still maintain it is situational...LOL
What are you doing in France?
Okay, I’m LOLing also.
Cheer, keep smiling.
I knew I should have put it a different.
Not in France..and havent test positive..although I am self quarantining myself due to an incident.
It was just an analogy
C’est la vie.....
Enjoy your stay.....
