    I went to bed without much news yesterday, so when I first read your post, I laughed, but then I thought: "Oh my GOD, is Brad poking at something ACTUAL?!" - absolutely mind-blowing stuff!!

    Thank you for this post. One day he'll get his lol

            • The next article in the series I've been posting. This one is about Testing, and especially Contact Tracing. Note it is at least a half-hour thorough read (but what the heck else are you doing lol)

                in summary - if you can - stay home and wait till the virus vanishes.

                • In Windsor two thirds of the fatalities happened in two nursing homes as of a day ago.

                  In New York they made nursing homes accept patients with COVID infections with predictable results. I guess all those dead people will be voting Democrat for the next forty years now.

                  • That's real people. From real families. Please edit out the partisan jab. Let's be better.

                        Agreed. Cut out the partisan jabs on both sides. No double standard.

                          Forcing rest homes to take sick patients is the typical type of thing you would expect from a socialist. They seem to be going after republicans even when they do everything right so I will not withdraw my comment. It was clear that election rigging was something Nancy Pelosi wanted to slip into the Corona virus response package.

                          • I think you're missing my point. I would have expressed the same sentiment whether you wrote Democrat or Republican, whether you referred to New York or Idaho. Please appreciate that.

                            What I take issue with is your seeming mocking of recently dead people.

                            I am not arguing with anything else you wrote, whether I agree or don't.

                              I agree that this was a bad move by Cuomo. From what I've read, these COVID transfers were supposed to be seperately housed and looked after by staff dedicated specifically to that purpose. Not a bad 'idea' but what were the logistics? Did the Cuomo gov't research this carefully to determine which nursing homes actually had facilities that could accomodate a quarantine situation with seperate staff? Meanwhile, if the NYC hospitals needed relief/space, guess what? - school is out; lots of high school gymnasium space to house convalescing seniors and high school kitchens for food preparation!! (maybe they don't have cooking facilities in high schools anymore but no doubt there are caterers who'd be glad to have the work)

                                University/college dorms and hotels are possibilities, too.
