If you're just going to straight-up say that the numbers reported in the 2016 election aren't true, I can just as easily counter by saying that Trump must have only got <20% of the vote, because no sane person would vote for him.

I think they did because he won as we can see. Not like they flipped a coin. Why do the haters act like they aren't the insane ones? Does it fall back on the 'we blame everyone but ourselves' mentality?

With a minority of the vote.

Kind of an important point there.

Also, most polls won't have approval + disapproval = 100%, because "neutral" or "no opinion" are also permitted answers.

That's what they want you to think, it's not true. I understand there's a tolerance of a few percent because of how things work. Point is you can't claim minority when it's that close and imprecise.

He won on electoral, lost on popular 46-48%. Gallup lists his earliest approval rating as 45%. Highest was 49%, lowest was 35%
https://news.gallup.com/poll/203198/presidential-approval-ratings-donald-trump.aspx

Obviously he couldn't have an approval rating "when was elected" since he wasn't a president at that point. However, his earliest approval rating was right around his popular vote result.

Funny. I know math and can plainly see it doesn't add to 100%. The media cut off a few points just to make him look bad? He did win after all so these stories of 'the minority' aren't believable.

I dont think so. Hes always somewhat conceded that Trump was kind of a jackass but always excused everything Trump has done because he thinks the economy is so great because he got raises at work.

Hes been like a broken record on how he never got a raise under Obama.

Anyway because Covid is doing so much damage and hes even had a coworker die from it, covid had a massive infection of his job and a lot of his coworkers and managers are out for weeks but he still has to work because essential.

So I think hes just been pretty sensitive to Trumps handling of COVID and the thing about injecting disinfectant really pissed him off

This is when I'd ask how this could be Trump's fault, or what else he was expected to do. Someone will whine whether he does or doesn't do anything.

I've heard it yeah but the title is an exaggeration. We don't control the rest of the world nor are we responsible for fixing it. We have our own corner with our own problems. I would think the haters to be the least likely to pretend he's got that much power.

A president needs to be able to speak clearly and in a way to which it will not be misinterpreted. Considering that it's going to be Biden or Trump, I don't really see this happening. Everyone from one party will always say the media is misinterpreting what trump said to make him look bad, while Biden shouldn't be president because he screws up all the time talking. The other side will say Trump is a horrible person who always has to speak when he doesn't know what he's talking about and when Biden misspeaks, it's just a gaffe. People will always think he's a good leader because he is the leader of thier party and nothing he does will cause them to change their minds.

I wouldn't place blame on the pres whoever it may be. The media will creatively reword and mislead all speeches to encourage viewers.

Lol, considering that he OPENLY insults other users all the time and isn't getting moderated at all, he's basically a walking proof that the Gamefaqs mods are ridiculously biased and/or incompetent at moderating. So I do enjoy him making a fool of himself on a daily basis.

Besides, the mods have openly admitted that the way it works is that some oversensitive person marks a moderation, they then consult each other, and if their political beliefs align, they mod the person whether the moderation was against the rules or not. We have endless proof that shows that their moderations are targeted mostly at people they believe to be "alt-right" while completely ignoring the open violations of leftist users. No kidding, I have marked posts where a person DIRECTLY said: "You're an idiot" and no violations. Meanwhile, I was suspended for saying that they Democratic canditates were virtue-signaling morons (or something to that effect) and the excuse was "I insulted democratic voters." Pretty fucking amazing since our resident board lefties OPENLY insult right wing users on this board on a daily basis and are completely ignored.

Furthermore, mods such as Doctorfoxx have openly demonstrated and/or admitted they're openly biased to left wing users. So yeah.

Personally, I love it. As they continue to constantly prove me right.

The entire mod pool needs to be dumped, disinfected, and refilled with fresh people.

Wide open parks, sure. Parks consisting of trails that see two-way traffic constantly and are barely wide enough to allow 6 feet of clearance, not so much. You're going to be passing people very often in those, most likely closer than is safe.

You don't need a lot of tourists. You've got most of the locals out of work and bored while the weather's getting nicer and going to a park/beach is very attractive. Those parking lots are going to be packed, and they're going to be packed with people who drove for less than an hour to get there. Packed parking lots mean hundreds of people walking the trails or looking for a place to sit on the beach (where, by the way, there's evidence that the high winds and moist air can carry droplets up to 30 feet, so the usual 6-foot spacing is inadequate), and that means high transmission risk.

You keep saying this, but you've yet to provide an answer for how one can be expected to "avoid anyone sketchy." Most transmission is asymptomatic, and even the people who do have coughs aren't exactly going to look sick. Just looking for "sketchy" people won't help you avoid anything, as I keep telling you. If you do have some great idea of what to look for, by all means, share it, because that could be extremely helpful.

A couple months aren't going to change much of anything one way or the other in that regard.

Nothing ever justifies panic. The statistics have, however, justified limiting people's ability to gather to try and keep the growth rate of cases under control. That's not panic, that's a well-reasoned preventative decision.

As others have said, that's a matter of evolving understanding of the virus. Starting out, nobody was really sure how effective masks for the general population would be. We've since come to the understanding - thanks to data from other countries trying different things - that they do help and that even a bandana is better than nothing.

Sunlight killing the virus doesn't really change much unless you can figure out a way to shine sunlight inside people's lungs (which would almost certainly cause more harm than good even if you could figure out a way to do it without a circular saw, since the delicate tissues of the lung aren't designed to withstand UV radiation either). It just means public surfaces that see enough sunlight (which is an increasing number as the days grow longer) don't need to be sanitized and shaded surfaces can be prioritized.

Being that parks allow bike traffic I doubt the trails are that small. Haven't been to all parks obviously. Either way it's unrealistic to believe as soon as you break that magical 6 foot circle with a stranger that you're infected. It has never worked like that.

Just saying without tourism that your local spots aren't going to be as busy. What are the chances your community will choose the same location at the same time to overcrowd it? Evidence my ass, they also say it doesn't live long outside.

Easy, it's the same stuff you'd use to avoid getting any other common illness. In fact most are not asymptomatic, there are signs. Sneezing, coughing, lethargy, sure this stuff could be something totally different but regardless of what someone may have you aren't interested in sharing.

A couple months may be all it takes to inadvertently encourage more people to be less active.

What statistics? The misrepresented numbers? The compromised tests? Indeed it's a non-zero number, however I'm always suspicious the media exaggerates to attract viewers. I keep saying use caution but understand this is not the doom and gloom situation people want it to be.

Everyone is learning. New findings are why we can slowly start to relax or reopen.

Exactly. Surfaces become self sanitizing so you can worry a little less about surprises. Doorknobs, shopping carts, playground equipment, whatever.

I cleared the area 2 or 3 times looking for keys, switches, whatever. It was designed so poorly there were things that didn't open (the store and online mode I think) until you found the secret boss.

That said, going to beaches and major parks/trails and the like isn't a good idea because they attract a higher density of people and maintaining appropriate distancing becomes harder. To that end, many governments have closed such places (my home province issues a $1000 fine and tows the car of anyone found violating those closures), and that's quite reasonable. But going for a walk around your neighbourhood where you make sure you keep the necessary breathing room? That's fair game.

And that doesn't mean excursions like going for groceries are risk-free. Increasing that risk by making more such excursions than you actually have to really isn't a good idea, whether in terms of personal or public safety.

It's called a goddamn pandemic. "I'm booooored I wanna go outsiiiiide" is not a good reason to disregard infection control measures during the greatest public health crisis in a century. Yeah, it'd be really nice to get out and do more things, but responsible adults recognize that they can't always do whatever they want for entertainment. Suck it up and do something else until it is actually safe.

Hmm, yes and no. People do congregate at those places but they are quite large. Plus I doubt there would be lots of tourists at your park/beach depending on location. I also feel like the gov't was put into a tough spot. There wasn't an immediate need to close these outdoor places except you get the trolls hosting virus parties and such so the gov't had to choose all or nothing rather than devote time or resources to it.

But you go out with the intent to be careful and that's all there is to it. Avoid anyone sketchy, wash your hands, no big deal.

Again, too much hype. The US is exceptionally sedentary the way it is. It's probably not a good thing to tell people to stay on the couch for months. There are other things to consider against one virus. Lighten the restrictions and let those who are willing to start returning to normal.
