Since so many here vehemently value reopening Applebee's over human lives, I'm listing some of the recent obituaries of Floridians lost to COVID-19:

Wayne Sternberg, 71, Lakeland:
Wayne Sternberg spent his career in banking but was a woodworker at heart. At 9, he built his first rabbit hutch and a dog house. Later, he progressed to model sailboats. When his two grandsons came along, he shared his passion for building with LEGO boat model projects.

In retirement, he loved to golf, visit car and plane shows with his wife, or spend time riding bikes and hanging out by the pool with his grandsons. A Disney enthusiast since the 1980s, Disney World was the go-to vacation spot for celebrations over the years. He and his wife took the entire family on a three-day trip there earlier this year.

“Wayne had a beautiful and loving smile, twinkling eyes, and one of the kindest souls,” his family wrote.

There are literally 4000 more just like these in FL alone...

Yes, people have died. Each one is a tragedy to someone, but every one is also irrelevant to the individual needs of nearly everyone else, especially people who need Applebee's to be open so they can eat. If the world must stop because people die then the world can never start.

"world must stop" 

That's a load of crap. Complete and utter bull [BLEEP]. 

The world isn't stopping. In fact, in the countries that had viable leadership who confronted this pandemic responsibly, their worlds have returned to something very close to normal. 

We, on the other hand, have handled this crisis horribly and what you misinterpret as "world must stop" is the direct result of that mismanagement. 

Taking the appropriate measures for the appropriate period of time to stave off infection was the way to avoid this "world stopping"  and we didn't do it.

Houston hospitals are overwhelmed with Covid-19 patients.  

https://www.click2houston.com/news/local...ncy-rooms/

"Houston hospitals have been forced to treat hundreds of COVID-19 patients in their emergency rooms — sometimes for several hours or multiple days — as they scramble to open additional intensive care beds for the wave of seriously ill people streaming through their doors, according to internal numbers shared with NBC News and ProPublica.

"At the same time, the region’s 12 busiest hospitals are increasingly telling emergency responders that they cannot safely accept new patients, at a rate nearly three times that of a year ago, according to data reviewed by reporters."


It's notable- if you go to Foxnews.com, all they cover is the culture war, because that is the Trump campaign's strategy.  I don't see anything about the Covid-19 crisis, and that is because the Trump campaign wants to act like it doesn't exist.

Did they say how many are illegals?

Morgues in Texas counties overwhelmed. Refrigerated trucks being brought in for dead bodies.

And? I mean, I'm glad he finally decided to wear one, especially at Walter Reed, but what's your beef here? That he wore one? Or maybe the color isn't to your liking.

It's good to see him wearing a mask. Not any deeper than that

His tie is blue. Meaning he likes cops. Meaning he is a racist. What a scumbag.

*Trump puts one on*

“He looks so awesome! How do I get one?!”

Psychotherapist Amy Morin explains that wearing the masks does more for our mental health than our physical well-being, by soothing our anxiety and giving us the illusion of being in control.

 She's an idiot. For those with anxiety wearing them makes it worse, at least for me it does because I feel like I can't breathe. No pun intended.

There was a hairstylist in Missouri who had covid 19.
she gave 91 haircuts before she finally got sick enough to realize something was wrong.
But she wore a mask as she cut all 91 heads of hair.
The mask did not help her symptoms. her symptoms got worse and she had to stay home from work.
But all 91 of those people got tested for covid.
And none of them had it.

The masks. Aren't. For you.
