Re the utube video from that talking head from Fox Entertainment. Check out which Fox hosts are a part of Fox Entertainment and which are a part of Fox News. History has a way of shaping the future in unexpected ways. Ronald Reagan's administration was notable for three policy decisions. The...

This one probably belonged in the humor thread. Good one.

I agree that this is the wrong thread to make unfounded statements regarding Trump's untrustworthy and false pronouncements about Covid 19, however, since this particular subject has been raised...... This is just one more effort to try to normalize Trump's behavior. If a lie is repeated often...

We all have biases. The writers of the article above and the organization they represent definitely has theirs. Not one I subscribe to. We're not talking about just one life here. Here's an article that talks about the biases that their organization represents...

"The politician's goal is a bit different. His role in society is dependent on getting re-elected--which commands power, influence, and in many cases monetary gain." Maybe we need term limits. We should also get rid of gerrymandering [/i]

Oldguy83- just to correct mistaken statements regarding history, impeachment ended on Feb 5. During impeachment and for some weeks after, Mr. Trump's main activities were campaign rallies and playing golf. Sorry to interrupt a good discussion.

Maybe we should all just accept that anything Trump says regarding Covid 19 (or anything else for that matter) should be regarded as the same as sitting at a bar talking with Cliff Clavin or Norm Peterson.

Bravo to the Michigan Nurse, all healthcare workers, all essential workers who are risking their lives and to Marty who reminded us that we all need to suck it up. At the risk of.........you might check out the instigators of these Stay At Home protest groups. You might find that it leads back...

Another reason I believe political discourse should not be constrained on this forum is that, as far as I have found, the C-Brats is the only on-line forum that really allows for different opinions without being personally attacked. Folks on the C-Brats really do try to follow the "Just be Nice"...

I wonder why members should not discuss politics on this forum. I understand this is a boating forum but to expect members to not discuss something that is currently foremost in everyone's mind is unreasonable. Politics is so intertwined with the Covid 19 pandemic as to make it almost impossible...

There are many ways of answering that question. This is just one way and may be right or wrong. One way the government has determined whether the implementation of a regulation is worth it is to perform a cost/benefit analysis. Is it worth the cost of requiring auto manufactures to install seat...

When was the last time you heard someone say "Get out of my country you effing Spaniard". I guess threads evolve depending on what the posters think is relevant.

The popularized connotation of the racist term China Virus and the equally obnoxious Kung Flu started with our president. The racist context of these terms was no doubt circulating among certain groups before but they were promulgated by Trump. Covid 19 is not a "them against us" situation. We...

Once achieved, herd immunity, I'm sure we can agree, is a good and necessary thing. The question is how do we achieve it. Are we to be treated like an animal herd where the strong and lucky survive and the weak, susceptible and unlucky die? Is that okay because their deaths help the rest of us...

I'm sure those that have died from Covid 19, their relatives and friends, those that will die from Covid 19 in the future and particularly those that will unnecessarily die because of the herd immunity concept do not consider themselves a part of or want to be included in the "herd". Sweden is...

This is an unfair apples and oranges comparison given the increases in medicine and technology and in fact minimizes and discounts the 100,000 deaths already claimed by Covid 19.

Unlike the Federal Government, states are required to have a balanced budget. Instead of putting money away in a "rainy day fund" like we have all learned in Econ 101, the Feds used that money to reduce taxes. The result of Trump's generous tax break is that now we are able to pay for our...

Harvey's point about the lack of a national stay at home order is correct but the lack of national direction extends well past that. We now have states fighting each other for necessary medical supplies.....with a real estate developer in charge of the national emergency stockpile. In my...

Harvey- Unfortunately ramping up the production of ventilators is only a part of the problem. There will be a shortage of qualified medical professionals to operate the ventilators. You available?

Re the prior comment made about GM making ventilators. I listened to an NPR Planet Money podcast, "The Race to Make Ventilators". It described a local (to me in Seattle) company called Ventec who manufactures ventilators and the difficulties of ramping up their manufacturing capacity. Long...
