Great! I am SOOOOO glad the virus respects state borders and won't cross with infected folks from Nevada or Arizona!

Whew - what a relief!

THE COVID VIRUS has been a gift from God," began Ken Eldred. "The kingdom of God advances through a series of glorious victories, cleverly disguised as disasters."

In response to the coronavirus pandemic, Eldred noted, millions of Americans are turning to Christ, Walmart is selling out of Bibles, and online church broadcasts

I would like to know where he obtained the information that Wal-Mart is selling out of Bibles. I can't find any source that says so.

Baby Jesus- direct line. Satan obviously is in charge of the media

oops

You'll never hear about this in the MSM

100%

A lot of tRump supporters are built like he is....and they will die just like he will, and for the same reasons, if they contract the virus. For their sake I hope his misrepresentations don't get them killed. They need to social distance, wear masks and stay out of crowds.

Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness and Violence is a 2019 book by Alex Berenson, denounced as alarmist and inaccurate by many in the scientific and medical communities because of his claims that cannabis use causes psychosis and violence. Scientists state that he is drawing inappropriate conclusions from the research, primarily by inferring causation from correlation,[1]:1[2]:1[3]:1[4] as well as cherry picking[5]:1 data that fits his narrative, and falling victim to selection bias via his use of anecdotes[5]:1 to back up his assertions.

I predicted the first response wouldn't engage the content but deflect with some irrelevant partisan post on Trump and whataboutisms. I was not wrong.

Comparing US and Japan is just LOL.

Japan's government doesn't have much authority to enforce the lockdown even in state of emergency, given the fundamental law restriction after WWII. However, they are one of the most self-disciplined countries in the world, by far, and understand the concept of "individual inconvenience for the collective good." Even before the pandemic, Japanese people are already used to wear masks in public.

Whoever uses Japan's number to justify reopening the US is an idiot. Quit the bull**** and look at the scoreboard. Btw, here in Germany the Biergarten are already open for a week. New daily cases has dropped to less than 10% of the peak. People are still nervous and wearing masks in public transit and supermarkets. Meanwhile US couldn't even reduce 40% of the new confirmed cases. But it's the land of free, huh?

EU likely will reopen the internal borders in mid-June and start accept tourists in from selected countries. No doubt people from the remaining high-risk areas, like Brazil, India, UK and US, will be excluded.

Kind of a hilarious thread in retrospect with so many bad takes.

Just on the first page, I predicted we might still be WFH until May .... 2020! LOL.

Obviously things look different in hindsight, now that we are 18 months into this crisis, but I find it interesting to go back and look at what people were thinking relatively early in the crisis (mid April 2020).
