The 2000 Presidential Election and the botched attempt by the Dems to steal the recount.
I also recall Freepers were really divided about Katherine Harris when she ran for the Senate in 2006. There was a lot of vitriol passed back and forth on this forum.
As I’ve said in some other posts, I’ve been tracking COVID stats for well over a month now and building spread sheets using stats from all over the world, the most authoritative of which are from South Korea (primarily because of their aggressive, mandatory testing).
One thing that caught my attention early on were CDC statistics. From January 21st until sometime in early March, CDC tracked cases (COVID-positive tests), and source of exposure (either foreign travel-related or close contact/direct exposure), as well as “under investigation,” i.e., positive cases in which the source of exposure could not be identified. As of early March, in 384,944 (97.5%) of 395,011 positive cases, the source of exposure could not be identified. That number varied from ~93% to the current 97.5% until CDC stopped publishing those statistics and added the following: “CDC is no longer reporting the number of persons under investigation (PUIs) that have been tested, as well as PUIs that have tested negative. Now that states are testing and reporting their own results, CDC’s numbers are not representative of all testing being done nationwide.” Unlike South Korea, CDC has never published the number of tests administered.
While I’ve thought for months that COVID has been here since the Nov/Dec timeframe, does anyone else see the above as a bit odd for an organization that supposedly monitors public health?
De$anti$ wa$ happy to take touri$t dollar$ during the $tupor Bowl and “$pring Break”.
Spare us the crocodile tears.
Too much crack circulating.
Good thing he caved to the panic and shut down his state a month and a half later, right? /s
And don’t forget the gay pride festivals all along the florida coast.
Before the panic ensued, people were dealing with their illnesses as a typical flu/cold or other common respiratory illnesses and not running to the hospital to get tested for COVID. They may have gone to the hospital with breathing issues, been tested for flu and found negative and got treated generally as ILI (influenza-like illness).
I have been watching Gov DeSantis press conferences for at least the last two weeks and he has stated many times his concern that corona virus exposures happened at the Super Bowl.
My drift (bad pun)was the Elian Gonzalez thing. His father, whom was active in his upbringing despite the parents’ divorce, didn’t know about the boat escape to FL. I believe there was no moral recourse but to return Elian to his dad. Though many of us despised Reno, the way the Cuban relatives were acting made some sort of rescue a certainty. I’ll be damned if there is much I agree on with liberals, but the father and son relationship trumped everything.
