Heaven forbid we just have nature take its course and people develop immunity like most other viruses of this nature.

Alternatively Biden wins Amy K is vp. Not much really changes. Clinton bush obama and trump and there have been no sweeping cultural economic or spiritual changes brought about by any one party.
I apologize for speaking for Jim but I’m going to guess it’s because he votes in accordance with his values. I’m a libertarian too and I understand that. Every election that I don’t vote for the Libertarian Party I feel like I am betraying my values. But I believe that of the two main parties, one is significantly worse than the other and so I compromise my values and vote for the lesser of two evils, because the damage to the country done by the other is so great I can’t in good conscience allow my third party vote to let them win.
Um, if SD or any other solid red state goes for Biden, then civilization as we know it is dead. I haven’t voted R or D for president most of my adult life.
A use of tracing can be to provide data showing the outbreaks and, by extension, areas that are not seeing much infection (if any).
While I'm concerned (understatement) about the misuse of tracing data, I have this hope (pollyanna, I know) that the data can inform rational people that they don't need to live in fear.
Of course, as soon as the contact tracing data doesn't show widespread death, it'll get quietly ignored by the people inciting fear, panic, and chaos.
Any bets that contact tracing will be used to show the racial bias of COVID-19? or any other pet cause?
Our wonderful Governor said to today when ask that question, it was so we can do COVID tracing. Read that as you have no private life big brother knows all. Wonder how many John Doe reservations they will get now.

I am starting to get scared of “science”.
Not the scientific method that I grew up with of hypothesis, proof, and conclusion. But this strange and questionable “science” upon which public policies are now getting based. It is starting to remind me all too much of other policies based on “science” in the past. Historically, when public policies have been based in the science of the time, the policies have often led to dangerous and painful results.
When over 100 Chicago clergy opened their doors this past weekend to provide the essential services of spiritual nurturing through prayer in defiance of the stay-at-home order of Illinois Gov. Pritzker (D), the governor tweeted that he had “sympathy for leaders struggling with those choices — but not for those so intent on disregarding science & logic that they put people’s lives at risk.”
Governors Cuomo (D-New York) and Newsom (D-Calif.) have imposed draconian measures of quarantine and isolation based on “science” and in the process have determined that cannabis clubs, abortion clinics, and bike shops are all more “essential” than religious institutions.
The World Health Organization claimed on April 6 that science had determined that face masks were unnecessary for healthy people, and then determined by May that the science showed that everyone should wear a mask. Mayor Garcetti of Los Angeles has determined that the science shows that everyone needs to wear a mask as soon as leaving the house to prevent further spread of the virus.
That's a disturbing scenario.Let's hope so. Even if they don't vote for Trump, it will be half a victory if they don't vote for Biden either.
Another scenario is that this reinforces the call for a brokered convention, which could be the worst of the three.
otoh - Democrat policies have hurt everyone...
Black progressive influencers expressed shock, outrage, and dismay at Joe Biden’s already-infamous “you ain’t black” comment Friday.
As Breitbart News reported, former Vice President Joe Biden (D) declared Friday morning that if black Americans are unsure whether to support him over President Donald Trump in the November election, “then you ain’t black.” He made the unsolicited, racially-charged remark as he departed his virtual interview with Breakfast Club co-host Charlamagne tha God.
Black authors, activists, pundits, and entertainers — including some Biden supporters — were consistently negative as they reacted over social media. Several described Biden as having a “white savior complex,” “unmitigated gall,” and “audacity” to make this rule for their racial authenticity. Others condemned the comments as “racist” and “disgusting.” Some lamented that Biden is a “demotivating candidate” who has “doomed” the country to another four years of Donald Trump.
Cruising Cherry Grove?
Apparently, Fauci is now considered a conservative.
Any else seeing sign language interpreters not wearing masks when they are up there doing sign language during press briefings?
