The SC has ruled on term.limits - they’re unconstitutional.

I think you are faking having a brain. I loathe those that throw out accusations with zero proof.

25% based on numbers I've seen in Oregon.

Very situation dependent. In low quality nursing homes then 25% is likely due to poor infection control. In high quality assisted living that I am familiar with, they had people in their 80's with no symptoms.

Also like every age group you can't simply use numbers that include April deaths where they basically let people die. The lethality has dropped by 4-5x although some of that drop is the fact they are protecting older people from getting it. Cases have dropped for 85+ as cases rose in total.

That's odd. My wife, daughter and I all had symptoms, all tested negative, and all did not in the end turn out to have COVID-19. (We had a different bug.)

Now, the false negatives of the rapid test ARE quite problematic. Ask Elon Musk.

I hear Dominion tabulates all the COVID test results for the CDC.

Amazing how the Democrats all appear to be immune from COVID. I don’t think I’ve heard of a single one who has tested positive. And it’s certainly not because of “masking”... because we know that they don’t do that unless they’re in front of a camera.

Yes - we term limit the president and it is specified in the Constitution, but there is nothing in the Constitution specifying term limits for either house. Pity.

I have/had a theory that the rapid test has a false positive/negative based upon age group - which I am now discounting. It is very hard to get the data from “official” channels. Also, tracking the number of times a person is given the test is next to impossible to verify with any confidence. Elon Musk’s comments are very interesting and I will be working on researching that facet next, since he had multiple tests with different results in a short time frame.

Yeah it is a pity.

The game is rigged.

If it was up to (Death Squad)Zeke Emanuel (now Covid Czar) anyone over 75 is worthless and therefore to be hung out to dry before getting healthcare. The Democrats have already defined their position to justify cutting health care for the elderly with the treatment by Dem governors killing thousands in nursing homes. Media never tied the two together? They want to save Medicare for illegals that they think withh vote D.

The AARP was once a very effective lobbying organization for the elderly before they discovered health insurance and playing ball with deep state was more profitable. That was in the days of GW Bush when they changed their organization from bottom up from states to top down from DC HQ.

“...What makes Democrats immune from it?...”

Yes what is it? Do the Dems have Antifa losers running around with aerosol sprays of Covid. Would not surprise me. Something this easy to create and distribute could easily be played for political gain. There is much we are excluded from knowing thanks to a media that is political instead of inquisitive.

I am an Iowan and I think this man has represented my beloved state well but once you are 75 years old you need to get out of politics and pass the baton to the next generation.

I think it’s selfish if you don’t. This goes for both parties.
