I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

I was listening from here in Denver, and seemed that it was half whining that Trump hasn't taking control of Colorado, forcing the governor to govern, the other half split between asking people to stay home more, business to get down to 50% or less human density at the office, and then talking about how Colorado businesses are stepping up...because Trump hasn't taken control of Colorado.
I'm disappointed that whining that the people who know Colorado best are the ones who have to make decisions about Colorado took center stage.

I know I talk alot of shit about trump, and I really dont like him much. But I must admit, he has done an amazing job handling the coronavirus so far.
Here are some of the things he has done that I am fairly pleased with:
1) Every year he has been in office he signed into law year-after-year budget increases for the CDC
2) He quickly barred incoming flights from both china and europe once cases became significant
3) he quickly issued a state of emergency and orderer the deployment of a US navy quarantine ship to help
4) His administration approved covering all costs for mandatory medical testing and quarinting for COVID-19 patients...
5) He issued a 1,000$ UBI to all american citizens to help alleviate financial problems.
He definitely did a better job than the last few presidents did when handling H1N1 and SARS.
Sorting through a box of wires during #covid19 preventative isolation... I think it's finally time to get rid of my handspring charging dock.

"I think it's a very nasty question and I think its a very bad signal that you're putting out to the American people. The American people are looking for answers and they're looking for hope and you're doing sensationalism and the same with NBC and Comcast. ... That's really bad reporting. And you ought to get back to reporting instead of sensationalism. Let's see if it works. It might and it might not. I happen to feel good about it, but who knows. I've been right a lot. Let's see what happens. "

I love how the press lures @realdonaldtrump into stupid arguments, then when they lose they say, "That rotten Trump lured us into that argument so he could distract us!"
I also love when the clowns come out of the Volkswagen. But perhaps I repeat myself.

Where did you hear this? Lying and hate speech is covered under the first amendment.
The only cases where they aren't is when they cause tangible harm to others (lying about somebody causes others to attack them, or damages their reputation so they can't get a job, or hate speech that inspires others to commit real-life harassment).
And most non-violent calls to action should be okay, too.
@progo
Ah, yes. I typed in 6.8 not 60.8.
So it's not the number of deaths, but the percent that people are reacting to. Makes sense to me to see the two differently. Not a fan of hysteria or panic, but logically they're significantly different by the very numbers in the meme.
Maybe with more testing the numbers would be different, but the meme seems a bit off.
@progo
Am I doing the math right? This means H1N1 had a 0.18% fatality rate, but Corona has a 2.86% fatality rate?
Maybe that's why people see Corona as worse?
Leftists : #Trump is literally worse than Hitler!
Also leftists : We demand that Trump take over state governance and control movement of citizens and operations of businesses.
Maybe its not the same leftists expressing both, but these sentiments are both coming from the left from what I can see.

No one on leadership wants to be to blame later on for not being cautious enough.

I’m Chinese, I am not offended by it being referred to as the Chinese Flu. Did you hear that it was called the KUNG FLU! Hilarious!!!! People need to stop making everything about race. Lighten up or toughen up. I’m sick of ppl’s outrage over their victimhood status.

Dad, why do we live differently every spring?
Well son, when you were a baby, not everyone practiced Lent. Then in 2020 the world gave up social interaction in exchange for toilet paper.
#covid19 brings everyone to lent

My greatest concern about the coronavirus is that it is a distraction from the far more serious problem of people being misgendered on Twitter.
