Mark Twain Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I don’t buy the argument that impeachment caused us to not pay attention to the virus. If that were true we’d be one of the few nations left unprepared. Each country was blindsided by this pandemic.I’m not sure anyone is wholly to blame for the virus, however, the panic may have something more to do with a political strategy of sowing distrust in government and the media so people no longer trust information as credible in a vital and critically important time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would SO love to eat crow on this. I can't tell you how much I would like to be wrong. And I suppose we will see. But, If the big cities go into hard core "stay at home mode" and very few die, then will it have been a " laughably overhyped, overblown and panic inducing shitshow" or just the right solution? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjamin4172 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The media is so freakin´dumb here. This weekend our politicians debated about wether to impose curfew or not. At the same time german governmental TV published on Saturday that Numbers of infections are decreasing...this dumb f****. This is because.....during weekends the district administrations do not report the Numbers of infectet to the RKI. How could you persuade people of a curfew, which is a huge cut on personal rights when you state everything is getting back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same respect, China and Japan have a terrible relationship and pumping money/time into the Olympics is unlikely. As much as China may want to show the world they beat the virus, they don't want Japan having center-stage, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately due to the circumstances most kids will be put in front of video games and tablets for most of the day. Their only socializing will consist of instant messaging. Plan accordingly and put in place a schedule. I am seeing so many parents not know what to do, is that a reflection on today’s climate with staying home or how parents are too reliant on devices, video games and instant messaging to begin with?! Start with a basic, age appropriate CURRICULUM and progress from there. Lots of resources out there, one just needs to look. Children benefit from structure and so do parents. Good luck✌️ Edited March 23, 2020 by BricksBrotha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
