Finally, some common sense!

First did I ever say they didn't? second are you talking about that trip to the store the day they went and the shelves were empty yes some did. Now if your talking that for weeks they could not get what they wanted then know. But, Trump said the shelves were not empty. I showed you a video that said otherwise. Yesterday in our town there was no meat. There's 12,000 people in this town and that's not counting the surrounding towns that have no grocery store and we only have three stores to get meat and that wasn't the only they were out of.

Remember were were discussing Trump saying the shelves were not empty now you changed it to well did people go without what they needed.

as BBQ would say nice divert there dirtman but, of course he would never say that to you.

but if shelves are empty aS YOU SAY THEN HOW CAN PEOPLE GET WHAT THEY NEED ? TO ME EMPTY MEANS EMPTY LIKEN IN NOTHING TO BE HAD ! MAYBE IN MY TOWN OF 60000 PEOPLE THE TEACHERS TEACH DIFFERENT MEANINGS OF THE WORD EMPTY ?

here is a fact to think about , the 2018 -2019 flu season killed over 30,000 people in this country , so far this season there have already been over 20,000 die , i think over all , this is a wake up call for the future and if any thing good does come out of this , then maybe we will be more prepared in the future and cut that 30,000 deaths down significantly ....i live in a rural area and i am still taking precautions , i think the congested city,s have the biggest problems and can learn to adjust there life styles more to help prevent the spread of a virus , but we all have to participate to make a difference , as far as our president goes , i think he is doing a great job , he is a glass half full kinda guy , if some on here and every where could see it this way instead of a glass half empty , we could all get along much better.....JMO.......

I believe you are on to something, ff. If there can be any good at all come from this it hopefully will be in the area you talk about. We lose far too many people to influenza every year and maybe we can change our way of doing things in an honest attempt to reduce that number.

However, there are a couple of A-holes posting in other sections of this board who believe it's a good thing that a virus will kill people. This kind of scum bag thinking usually persists until it's their ass that is dying and then it becomes a case of "SAVE MY ASS"!!

Another aspect of good that may come from this crisis is the pharmaceutical production problem. China has the U.S.A. by the balls in that regard and if we don't change things they are going to eventually start squeezing said balls. That will kill a lotta' innocent people. We get over 90% of all our pharmaceuticals from China. THAT has to change. Like oil, we REALLY NEED to be self sufficient in regards to pharma.

Here's a observation from our rural community. Our community has around 12,000 citizens but we are surround by several large community of population between 75,000 - 100,000. In a 60 mile radius are little community there are 1.3 million citizens. My lovely wife of 40 years is a nurse that works in medical clinic in our community. They are struggling to get the proper PPE needed for this virus. But this is something that crossed my mine last night. We decided that we would try and support a local restaurant. My concern is it seems that we have plenty of food containers for food pick up but we don't have enough personal protective equipment for medical staff. This seems to be national problem.

The lack of PPE for our fine, brave and dedicated medical personnel is a crock of sh!t!! PPE equipment for medical staff should absolutely priority #1. I'm confident that those involved are doing all that can be done but this sh!t should not happen in this day and age.

ss12, I would sincerely ask you to extend and express our deepest gratitude and admiration to your wife for doing what she has done in the past and especially for the dedication she obviously feels to do what she's doing during these dark days.

Just want you to know I'm not alone in thinking he wasn't serious about at first. Might want to ask some health Officials how they feel about that.

I did try to give him credit for starting to take it serious but, I had to listen to your b--- s--- that I reluctantly gave him credit. bla bla bla bla bla.

I don't know where you live and maybe your shelves are not empty but, that's not the case here as of yesterday. Do I expect that to get better yes I do.

Here's another post where you say he is finally taking it serious........implying he wasn't prior to this date( check it please)

When you hate someone( like they do the president) it clouds the view and makes it impossible to be subjective.

Shame

[CIRF]

CIRF, I don't really hate him nor do I want to see any bad thing happen to him. I just know what he is really about!! The republicans had a lot better choices.

Okay. I'll gladly take your word. And for the record I don't totally disagree with your statement regarding alternative Republican choices.

Should we also be convinced that you do not believe that our President cares nothing for the people who are sick and dying as a result of this China virus and he is purposely not doing anything to try to minimize the human and economic pain, suffering and grief? I for one sure hope so because, for the most part, you don't strike me as someone who would believe that without a preponderance of proof and it seems that preponderance of proof does not exist.

I don't believe any human being, or group of human beings, can deal with a crisis of this magnitude without a few missteps and mistakes along the way. But, to believe those missteps and mistakes were made purposely and deliberate forsaking lives and well being regarding both the physical and economic health is just a bit more than I personally can agree with.

bbq isn't saying anything.................................only repeating what you posted ! your words not his !!

He will deny this at least 3 times......want the over or under?

[Barbecueboy]

I guess you would rather not know the truth. oh well just be safe man whatever you do. Dirtman confirmed what I was saying. You just have a hard time accepting it. oh well be safe out there whatever you do.

I seek the truth in everything......I just don't find it with you very often.

I'm doing almost nothing different other than socially distancing and shaking less hands......why? Because it makes sense , I don't really have much of a choice and I've never really been easily scared or frightened by things I don't know much about.

We prepare for hurricanes on an annual basis because of where we live.....I liken my preparedness for this like I do for them, not panicked just prepared, like always.

And to be honest.....the flounder are biting and the working from home( or the boat) isn't really that awful.

[Barbecueboy]

Can you site where I said the President was doing nothing? Ok then go back and find where I said anything like your saying weeks ago.

So then was the President late to the party then. Your saying the media was warning people but, the President wasn't yet involved with the crisis well that should tell all us something. Thanks for that little tid bit. keep digging the hole.

I didn't say the media was warning , I said they were inciting hysteria unnecessarily.

Nice edit btw.

What you have to be kidding right. I see it everyday on my facebook page. I have plenty of friends that have said it to me I don't know how many times.
What I see is the President taking it very serious finally and I applaud him for that. If you think for a minute this President would allow our economy to go in the dumpster if this was serious then your dumber than I thought you was.
