On a promising note the supreme ruler of China who is not elected has promised Trump Who can be elected out of office. That is not the case.

Yet again hearsay

Well for one south Korea is a small state compared to United States of America. The populations don’t even compare. Second this virus started in this part of the world they’ve had a bit of a Headstart on the rest of the world. That’s China trying to keep the lid on this as long as They could. Notice how in that part of the world the numbers of infected are going down yet in the rest of the world they’re going up? What is it because they are smarter? If china was so damn smart then why do they steal everybody else’s technology and research? Sadly I’m hearing and reading now that the Chinese want to withhold drugs to the rest of the world mainly United States that could circumvent this virus.

@DoubleDD President of South Korea. Has done a better job handling the coronavirus.

So you are comparing a small state to the third largest population in the world? See the problem

How did that small state produce so many more tests than us? We still haven’t caught up to them in testing numbers.

Because they didn’t need as many?

Glad they agree with my assessment of the study from France. Wasn’t worth much.

I’m glad you like. I’m a fair person. Unlike some people labeling you without any evidence to back it up. You know the type claim to be one way when really at their core they are another. Don’t have time for people like that. Those types always have agenda, and it’s never for the greater good.

Great read @BShark

See what @FarmerJayhawk isnt telling you. You need the house and the senate to pass a stimulus package. Yet it’s easier to blame Trump.

Think it’s bad?

It's not good! It'll take days for the House to draft and vote on its bill. Not time we have at the moment. This may be the cabin fever taking hold, but I like Bernie's plan + the Senate plan for business: $2k/month for everyone as long as the pandemic is here and $1.5 trillion in forgivable loans to small businesses (forgiveness if they maintain payroll). Simple, quick, robust enough to avoid mass layoffs.

Crap you know it and so do i

Take it with a grain of salt. But this is what Trump is hanging his hat on for now

I saw this the other day, and holy moly is this study absolute garbage. Without getting too into the grimy details, essentially the study had no real randomization so it violates every single assumption we make in running RCT's. It's also seriously underpowered (n=36). The outcome is viral load, not whether the patients actually got better, so we don't really know a whole lot beyond that. In about half the days of the study, control patients weren't even tested for virus. That's really bad. At best the study is useless, at worst leads us down a rabbit hole of pursuing treatments that may be really harmful to non-COVID patients (e.g. folks with Lupus who are treated this way).

And so what would the great @FarmerJayhawk do? Lol Where Is your evidence that study is a Joke? I know how you like to throw around your opinion without Any evidence. Oh I forgot when the great @FarmerJayhawk says it’s crap it’s crap. Lmao

As far as I know

@jayballer73 There’s a difference between being united and having blind faith. Voicing frustration does not mean we aren’t united. You proved how to do that yourself. You voiced your problem with what someone said while maintaining your connection through basketball. Unity is good but doesn’t absolve someone from bad leadership.

Pretty good game on Cbs right now! Rock chalk.

ROCK CHALK IS RIGHT. SEE? were United there and for sure not blind faith lol

Who is asking for blind faith. But hope? Why not? No let’s tell every American you screwed. Then let’s see what happens? You have guns? Because you’ll need them if you you say that to the American people.

Hope is good but doesn’t have to be fabricated or based on false numbers or lies. That’s my biggest problem. How can we believe anything Trump says at this point?

The hope is coming from old tested science. Are we to reject science?

What are you even talking about here?

Trump is hanging his hat on French scientists cure or curb of the coronavirus.

Bad leadership? Says who ? You. When did you become an expert on leadership? I mean your boy Obama and the Biben team did a worse job on H1N1.

I don’t know, how about the American citizens join forces And keep a virus at bay. But no let’s play politics.

Absolutely amazing that you advocate not “playing politics” in a post where you use the classic what about Obama tactic.

Shitting down flights from China was a good move. But can you honestly everything sense then has been “perfect,” “10/10”? Yesterday he put recommendations for an unproven medication combination to treat the virus causing a run on essential medication for people with Lupis. He’s taken every opportunity to “play politics” and bash Biden whenever he has a chance. Just blind worship from you on trump at this point.

You bring up transgender people for no reason at all and then whine and complain that this isn’t a safe place for you and it’s not “fair and balanced” (wonder where you got that one...). Whose the real snowflake here? This had been a pretty civil thread until you took it off the rails. Most of us aren’t actually talking republican vs dem but you choose to see it that way. Look above for praise all around for a variety of republican governors from myself and others. So who is really “playing politics?”

Also, interesting you don’t protest the racist and sexist accusations. If you don’t like being labeled such things, maybe don’t spew hateful rhetoric.

If you want to see what real thoughtful debate and disagreement looks like, check out @FarmerJayhawk. A real pro at disagreeing with someone, providing true support for an argument, and never making it or taking it personal. No point trying that with you in your current state.

My friend if you think trump is playing politics? I don’t know what To say? We all know Trump (ego problem). Yet what president has done better in handling this coronavirus? I mean how many Americans died before Obama declared a national problem?

@BShark back to a more civil conversation. Can Trump be blamed for dropping the ball. Of course. Yet that is arm chair QB stuff. The important thing is where are we at now? There will be a time of judgment when we beat this virus. China being at the top of the list.

@BShark said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

Absolutely not.

@approxinfinity runs the site.

Okay bubba my bad. Thought you was.

I am more than willing to debate all topics and admit when I’m wrong. Yet don’t call me names when it has nothing to do with the damn topic

Is this not a fair website or not? I was just called a homophobe and this had nothing to do with the conversation. @BShark are you a facilitator of this website?

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

@DoubleDD I never ever voted or said I voted for trump! I've been a republican all my life till after trump, I switched. You were probably drunk

Oh I’m not dropping this. Why did you call me a homophobe?

This conversation had nothing to do about being a Homophobe

@BShark

You want to show me that you’re fair and balanced on this website? I was just called a homophobe by @Crimsonorblue22. Are you going to correct or not?

Look I was just called a A homophobe by @Crimsonorblue22. Yet that was never even a part of the conversation? Nice to cast judgment. But I won’t get no justice here.

@BShark said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

@DoubleDD said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

So your boy Biden

Okay, now I know you are trolling.

How? because I don’t blame Trump for everything like you do?

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

I was, all my life. I didn't vote for him. Changed during the KS state fair, after the election. I don't lie and I don't care what u think. Don't ever talk to me again. You are racist, sexist, looks like homophobe too.

So you admit that you lied about voting for the Republican president last time. And I have no problems ever talking to your shady ass ever again. And let’s be honest you responded to me I didn’t respond to you until after you respond to me. So take your heart and spirit and go to your safe place.

@BShark said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

I'll still be here when the death tolls in the US start rising to gross numbers.

I’m hoping that’s not the case. I’m hoping we solve this problem. But you blaming Trump, So your boy Biden can win election is just sick.

Do you not remember Chuck Schumer Was calling racist when trump was trying to shut down the borders in the flights from China?

Calling it the China virus helps literally nothing. That's some shit to play to his base.

Playing political correctness is not the time. Did notice those originate in China. Do not try to blame US military for this virus? And you’re protecting China? Wow

That's. Not. The. Name. Calling it that just doesn't help anything. The ONLY thing it can do is incite real racism. Asians are scared and buying guns over this. What's not to understand here?

If you have read my posts you will know not only am I putting blame on China, but I think they covered up millions of deaths. Where did I blame the US military for anything? Slow response to a tricky virus has cost human lives, public not taking it seriously enough due to poor messaging has not helped. Puts us in the same boat as Italy or worse. Compare to other countries that took it seriously, tested rigorously and isolated sooner.

Last time I checked almost every country in Europe is in lockdown mode so would it advantage are you talking about

We knew about this last year, Trump literally ignored it. No way around this.

Last time I checked all of Europe is basically in lockdown mode so what advantages you talking about?

You seem confused. Lockdown is the correct thing to do and the sooner the better, we were slow about that and testing compared to some other countries.

And so you’re going to tell me the trump could actually lock down the country without the help of the dem party?

Fair enough yet it was everybody not just your hate for trump.

You do know the whole world is short on supplies? Nobody knew because the China Government didn’t share or warn. Yet I get it because it’s a reb President blast him. Yet bet you think Obama did a great job with h1n1.

@benshawks08 there can be unity, but there will always people like you that won’t approve unless there is a D in office. Doesn’t matter what they do as long as they have a D beside their name.

@benshawks08 maybe you would rather have a president say to all Americans you are all screwed. Deal with it? Is that what you really want. Think you can protect your stock pile of toilet paper?

First and foremost hope you all are doing good.

As a sports fan, I feel like a junkie looking for a fix. The Coronavirus has brought the sports world to a halt including the NCaa basketball tournament. Way down on the level of importance. The Coronavirus has ruined the greatness of a Jayhawk team.

I really believed this current team was built for a tournament run. They had the ability to overcome a hot shooting team. They could play crazy defense. They had pride. They had Moxie.

My question to you all. Should the NCaa (doing the lowercase a’s on purpose) have crowned a champion without the tournament? Kind of like the Helms Champions? And if they did would KU win?
