JiggaJonsonSomeone told me you needed a fact check
Here's the information he had available to him at the time
https://downloads.aap.org/AAP/PDF/AAP%20and%20CHA%20-%20Children%20and%20COVID-19%20State%20Data%20Report%207.30.20%20FINAL.pdf
338,982 total child COVID-19 cases (cumulative) have happened
BEFORE he gives this press conference.
Then he explains that kids are "basically immune".
------------------------
------------------------
He made the claim so assertively https://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook-twitter-trump-video-misinformation-removal-children-immune-coronavirus/ Facebook and Twitter removed it.
So, let's review with a quote from someone who cares about public health.
"Children as a group are clearly less impacted by this virus than adults, but to say they are almost immune does not provide a truthful message," said University of South Florida public health professor Dr. Marissa J. Levine.
"does not provide a truthful message...
"does not provide a truthful message...
"does not provide a truthful message...
"does not provide a truthful message...

Look, a good rule of thumb, just wait for that social media guy to start ranting, if he says "Fake news!" that's probably true.
If he says "Believe me" that's probably false.
Easy.
For example:

Donald Trump: (00:42)
Our mortality rate is right now at a level that people don’t talk about, but it’s down tenfold, tenfold. So you look at deaths are way down from this horrible China virus,
Donald Trump: (03:52)
There was only one person that died that was under 18 years old in the state of New Jersey, and that was somebody I guess had a problem with perhaps diabetes or something else. But one person out of thousands of people, one person died who was under 18 years old.
Well, he's saying that in July, the problem with that is in June https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/06/2nd-child-dies-from-coronavirus-in-nj.html
So much for only one eh? but don't worry
Here's the current data
https://downloads.aap.org/AAP/PDF/AAP%20and%20CHA%20-%20Children%20and%20COVID-19%20State%20Data%20Report%204.15.21%20FINAL.pdf
And
Here's how many kids are currently infected as of the most recent data
See? Immune
3,631,189
13.6%
p.s. roughly 1/2 of every-single-class i teach right now has students who

more
(yes really)
Good thing they're immune.
The flight that almost killed me
BSRI just a love a good dad story.
When I was about 10 years old, dad and I went fishing down to the Delaware River between NJ and PA. We would walk across the railroad bridge and make our way to the top of the pier and fish from there.
Google Maps https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6891036,-75.204665,78a,35y,102.75h,61.26t/data=!3m1!1e3
As we walked with our fishing poles and fishing box across the railroad ties he would tell me stories from when he was a kid. Told me his older brother tried to get my dad to jump from the bridge into the river. My Uncle had done this many times but dad had no desire to try it.
He said my Uncle tried to push him off the bridge once but dad held on real tight to one of the steel girders.
He told me, if I looked real close at that 2nd girder over there, I could still see his fingerprints embedded in it.
I think I laughed for 5 minutes straight.
--------------------------------------------
BTW, that's Easton PA on the waterfall side. Home of Larry Holmes.

When I was 17, my dad took me to some cliffs south of San Francisco to learn how to hang glide. The class met at a cliff to watch experienced pilots take off before going to a practice slope. The first launch we watched took off, made a smooth arcing turn, and crashed at full speed directly into the vertical cliff about 150' high and fell. He broke both legs at the least, but survived at least long enough for the ambulance to get there.
Dad cancelled my class, I never learned to fly.
Baileys Irish Cream vs Sodastream. Will it carbonate?
BSRI'm writing this down and when I go to NJ for Christmas at my brother's, we're doing this. Sounds great! My brother is a mortician so he'll be all about the brain hemorrhage. 🧠 🥂
1 oz peach schnapps
Float 1 oz Bailey's on top
With an eyedropper, drop 4-6 drops of grenadine carefully together, forming a brain between the liquors
When the brain "hemorrhages" to the bottom of the glass, drink...
This is a peaches and cream brain hemorrhage....tasty desert shot.

bobknight33You are wrong
yet another example of voters not getting their voting mail
https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/paterson-press/2020/05/29/paterson-nj-election-included-ballots-out-towners-and-dead/5287985002/
Least you forget that mail in ballot, the democrats want so badly is not the same as absentee ballot. There is a proper proecess for absentee and none for mass mailing vote by mail.
where the check and balance of the mass mailing?
Also Trump not giving $ for this Democrat push is not election rigging or anything else.
1) you never said I was wrong, as usual, when your nonsense was challenged, you just went silent, later trying to move on to different topics but never addressing your claim about known cases of Democrats cheating, committing vote fraud...and still not producing a single one.
2) it's never up to me to corroborate your lies and misconceptions, I take zero responsibility for that. If I choose to contradict them, with as much evidence as I see fit, that's my choice. Remember when Republicans were about personal choices? I member.
3) again, so now I know it's intentional, when asked for evidence of Democrats committing vote fraud you come up with another article about Trump intentionally defunding the USPSand his cronies dismantling the systems they've used for years so vote by mail can't work because, as he said, if everyone voted, there would never be another Republican elected, in the process destroying the mail system so checks, medicines, important documents, etc can no longer use the USPS for anything that can't be delayed 6 weeks. That is not proof of Democratic voter fraud, since you seem confused, it's proof of Republican fraud.
Try again, you're failing miserably, actually making my case stronger in your efforts.
BTW, Trump has until today to prove the non existent vote by mail frauds or his case to stop Pennsylvania from going vote by mail is tossed, which is why they hit Pennsylvania hard with USPS degradation, removing 650+ sorting machines nationwide that sorted >21 million pieces of mail per hour, 10% of their capacity when they need to be expanding, now being done by hand at much greater cost and far slower....to cut costs how?
Regret
BSRWhen I was about 13ish living in NJ, my friend and I decided to head down to the railroad near the Delaware river.
To get there we decided to go down the steel steps that ran down the hillside in our town. There are two flat platforms along the way and when we reached the first one we spotted a boy who, we knew from the area, coming up the steps in our direction.
His name was Ken. Ken had a mental disability but he was harmless. A friendly and defenseless kid that was about the same age as us and about a head taller. As he was coming up the steps I wondered what he would do if I punched him in the gut. A total sucker punch that he wouldn't see coming.
I knew he wouldn't retaliate so I decided I would do it.
As he got within range, without warning, I punched him right in the gut hard.
How he reacted and the painful look on his face instantly brought regret that, to this day, I still live with. Many years later I made an effort to find Ken and tell him how sorry I was for my violent, unprovoked actions that day. How much of an asshole I was and hope he might forgive me. I found out he had died just a couple of years back.
I think about how that punch may have changed him forever. How it may have destroyed his trust in people and planted a fear within him that I was responsible for.
Sometime later, when I was alone, I cried that day with that vision I saw on his face and I can still see it now and feel it in my gut as I write this.
That day had changed my life forever at his expense.
Unfortunately this mindset has destroyed our planet.
It's far more responsible and less damaging to regret something you haven't done.
Usually when people regret not doing something it's because they regret missing out on an experience. Usually when people regret something they've done, it's because it was disastrous and the experience was not worth the cost to themselves and others.

Trump was right from the beginning, Assembling a team , stopping china flights and starting preparations for this. The media countered with racist against China, Fool this is just another flu type event.
Now its 24hrs a day panic panic fear mongering from media and Trump should have prepared.
China lied and knew person to person spread back in mid December. The WHO carried the lies of China.

World’s Largest Optical Lens
BSRFun Fact: Menlo Park, NJ (not CA)
In November 1877, one of Edison’s first major inventions at Menlo Park was the phonograph, which was a basic machine that allowed a person to speak into a diaphragm that was attached to a pin that made indentations on a paper wrapped around wood. The first words Edison successfully recorded on the phonograph were “Mary had a Little Lamb”. By 1878, this invention was known all around the world and Edison soon earned the title of “The Wizard of Menlo Park.

BSRI went to NJ 2 years ago to help take care of dad before he passed at 84. There were times he would tell me, "I don't want to die. I got too much to do."
He'd get a leg cramp and say, "SHOOT ME! SHOOT ME!"
*Hell no, I've had leg cramps that made me reconsider living. I was paralyzed below the knee for almost a year, the next two years were much worse as the nerves healed.
Totally rational to sacrifice yourself to end one. ;-)
Beyond The Crash - The Worst News Of Your Life
BSRAbout 2 years ago I was in NJ to help take care of Dad who was in his final days. While there I was able to help my brother who has his own funeral home. He also had a contract doing body removals for the medical examiner.
Got a call about 2 am for a fatal wreck on Interstate 80 which involved a single vehicle with 3 females. When we got to the scene investigators were just finishing up and we were ready to remove the bodies.
The vehicle was estimated to be traveling 70 to 80 mph when it left the Interstate and went into the median and slammed straight on into a tree impacting on the passenger side.
The driver was airlifted to the hospital. We had to remove the front passenger and rear passenger side body.
The front passenger side dash of the car was pushed up to the front seat. The passenger in the back seat was probably 250+ lbs. and apparently wasn't wearing a seatbelt. She was thrown forward and broke the front seat from the floor thus impacting the front passenger from behind.
At this point the scene was about 3 hours old. As we were removing the last body we heard one of the girls cell phone start to ring. It kept ringing off and on until we left 20 minutes later.
The police told us they found a sonogram picture in the wallet belonging to one of the girls. It was 3 weeks old.
When we arrived at the M.E. which is at the same hospital the driver was flown to, they were just bringing the driver to the morgue also. All 4 were back together.
When that phone rang that night all I could do is think that whoever it was, they only had a few more minutes of peace left before their life would be changed forever.
The heaven they were living in was about to turn into hell.
