The unmitigated gall to draw a comparison on 9/11 for political points...
Chief
To immediately point at “what’s political “about 190,000 people’s avoidable deaths , or 3000 people being murdered is too cynical to be discussing politics rationally.

Yea I was wondering if the 190k people who died of covid will have their names read at some point...

What specifically should the federal government do moving forward?
Rising Star
1) I could get behind that, in theory it would be similar to the emphasis/effort put into the vaccine. My understanding was they were already heavily funding / inventivsing the development through those guaranteed payments (i.e., health insurance coverage)
2) if only Congress would actually negotiate (yes, there's blame on both sides)
3) that's fair, I just don't see how they could code this as a pre-existing condition unless you changed health insurance during infection period. May be worth it since we still don't know the exact long term effects tho
4) agree and it should be thought through. The states that have done it dance around asking the tougher questions to try to build the proper "spider web" of interactions. I'm just not sold I A) personally want the fed govt to have this authority by setting a new precedent or B) they actually have the authority to do so
5) hasn't trump threatened withholding federal funding from states that stayed locked down and that didn't go over well? If he can't do it for forcing to open, how can he do it for forcing a shut down?

If you can't weaponize the deaths of New Yorkers to brutalize brown people, conservatives don't care.

Which presidential candidate called for a Muslim ban in 2015 to raucous applause by his party?
Did terrorists create the coronavirus and kill those 190k Americans?
So, maybe you can understand why comparing coronavirus to the flu is also offensive?
Probably not, though
