Bill Maher's election predictions on Jimmy Kimmel

diego says...

agreed.

I would add that science/doctors have been pushed out by the administration from day one, to the point that they use it to attack biden ("he's going to listen to the scientists!")

also, the inconsistency he is referring to for example in restaurants and flights, is entirely driven by economics, not science. Those are two of the hardest hit industries worldwide, you have a president who has made it clear he prioritises business over public health, of course they made some theatrical protocol to make it seem safer when really, its not.
(same in my country, and having a bakery myself have had to do the same stupid dance).

Pointing at the survival of christie, trump or any other celebrity, no matter how overweight, old or whatever, is not analogous to the experience of normal people who cant afford that level of treatment, most wouldnt have access to it even if they could afford it. not to mention that we dont even really know long term effects for survivors, including importantly how long the immune response lasts.

That whole segment just came off as the typical selfish "i dont think this will kill me, lets get back to normal" BS. Weve known for a long time now that what makes coronavirus dangerous isnt its mortality rate, its the combination of a long asymptomatic incubation period and airbone transmission that make it highly contagious, when hospitals collapse the mortality rate spikes.

I actually agree that we have to learn to live with this because i dont think a vaccine is nowhere near close to ready for global deployment, but i thought his arguments were terrible and his focus selfish.

***finally anecdotal experience here in Chile, 3 friends have gotten covid-
44 year old, former national team field hockey, good shape
41 year old, former point guard national team basketball, good shape
38 year old, professional poker player, overweight bordering on obese.

the 44 year old was in the hospital for 12 days, no ventilator, felt aches and pains for a solid month after going home
the 41 year old was in the hospital for 28 days, ventilator (and the induced coma that comes with it), still feels physically drained
the 38 year old had a fever for 3 days and never went to the hospital, is feeling fine

Between different strains and different body/blood types, comparing one case to another doesnt seem to work

I think Bill's attack on the science/health experts is misguided.

Not that Bill's wrong, mind you. IF you have a good internal (immune) system you'll have a better chance of fighting it off, but

1) that's NOT a guarantee you won't get sick.
2) DOESN'T mean you won't help spread it by being all gun-ho about it, and
3) USA being what it is -- the number of over-weight, obese are just staggering -- what's the point for the health experts to say/shame people with, er, "their pre-conditions" are to blame NOW? How's that gonna help?

Besides, the health experts have been promoting healthy, active living for ages. They're not "cowards" because the people don't listen to them.

It's mind-bogging to me how narcissistic and self-centered American society is. If people just pay any attention outside of American media, they should know how to handle Covid-19.

Trump vs Biden crowd

newtboy says...

@bobknight33, don't you think it's funny that he has to put masks on the crowd behind him so he LOOKS responsible in video clips, but tells the crowd not to wear them? No, you're so cocksprung you think huge crowds without masks are good, and social distancing with PPE is bad, lying about the danger causing over 180000 of the deaths in America or more by having no plan besides drink bleach is good, following medical guidelines is bad.
Again, funny how things that kill Americans and drain the treasury are good to you, things that would save American lives and the economy are bad....kinda like you're an enemy of America, bobski.
Every time Trump holds a rally there's a spike in cases and it extends the shutdown another week+. I bet he has 30+ planned, which will translate into tens of thousands more infected. Obese is a preexisting condition that makes it worse, and on average his crowd is morbidly obese....but as long as you vote first, he doesn't care if you die.

Failed every time he ran....no, that's YOU trump. Never won an election, ever.

Trump and Fox Struggle to Attack Sen. Kamala Harris

bobknight33 says...

OK

I'll say it.

Trump will win by a fucking landslide.

More supporters today than 2016. Democrats fed up with the far left of their party, not to mention Finger Banging JOE loosing his mental grip will push Trump to victory.

The fake news, BLM rioters, Democrat lead cities dumping on Blue lives, cutting funding. Crime spiking, looting, murder rates spiking will lead to total victory.


Covid is a non issue. People want to go tow work not be ordered by Democrat mayors, Governors to stay shut down.

Covid death rates are low % , except elderly, and not worth the economic damage to people, states, nation.

MOUNTAIN OF HELL 2019 - Big CRASH!!!

Police Spike Strip Causes Accident

newtboy says...

Police stopped traffic, lining the road with potential victims, then directed a high speed chase into a device designed to make a speeding vehicle lose control. Traffic should have been stopped well away from the spike strip, not used like inanimate barriers to direct a chase.
Imo, this was 100% foreseeable and the only likely outcome of their plan.
That police force is likely going to pay those victims millions. They put those people in harm's way and they were harmed.

Today Show Canoe

BSR says...

So much cynicism in these comments.

Has it dawned on anyone that maybe, just maybe there may have been a gentleman, such as myself, that happened to have a canoe and offered it to the woman so as to help keep her dry and safe during her report?

I'm sure visibility and unfamiliarity with the area could have made it difficult to navigate possible curbs, potholes, electric eels and alligators.

Offering a canoe to a woman would be the equivalent of throwing your coat over a puddle so the lady could cross the street and not soil her spike heels.

How do any of you ever expect to get laid!?

Chivalry is dead.

bobknight33 says...

I get it its a movie. Still a stupid premise, even true, and I'm sure blinded by race, Spike Lee will over play the race card.


Keep the seeds of discontent stirring and keep being enslaved..

Try reading the description before making yourself look dumb, maybe?
