    That's my line of work - having been involved as a project lead on multiple Memorial Herman projects ....

    You also have to account for the years worth of work , or more prior to breaking ground.

    [Important Announcement]
    OYEZ OYEZ OYEZ

    I will soon be unveiling a MASTERPIECE POST that examines the following:
    1. Why are liberals so susceptible to arguments that play on their emotions? Coronavirus, Russian Collusion, Police shootings (like Michael Brown), and Climate change are issues where liberals dropped all logic and pursued highly flawed conclusions, outright fantasies, and doomsday scenarios, despite the facts not supporting any of it.
    2. Why do liberals have a hero complex where they want to save the world from evil or calamity, despite no such evil or calamity existing?
    3. Why do liberals have a paternalistic view of governing that suggests that someone, almost always the government, must step in and make decisions for a hapless group of constituents, who must therefore be incapable of providing for themselves?
    This piece will delve into aspects of psychology, history, neurology, and the social sciences (economics, political science in particular).


    GOOD DAY

    Will this examine why they get offended by people calling the China Aids after its place of origin?

    I hope Dobbs doesn't have it because I don't want him to take care away from those who need it or the medical care workers to have to deal with him.

    Otherwise he should be fired and, in a just world, imprisoned. The corrosion of Fox News here can't be overstated. They will help kill thousands of millions and destroy our health care system. The recent abrupt change is too late.

    Rupert Murdoch's legacy is a death machine that pumps people and the earth full of poison that is destroying our society, now physically rather than just abstractly.

    [Educational Post]
    Deaths from Coronavirus in the USA are not rising exponentially. Yesterday, there were 20 deaths in the USA, bringing the total to 276 according to the website below. This is actually fewer deaths than the day before, representing a reduction in the rate of growth. This is the opposite of exponential growth.
    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

    Total deaths, globally, is at 11,387 over several months. The people telling you that deaths in the USA will hit 200,000 should be censured for inciting hysteria. The scare tactics need to stop. It's causing people to overreact and the ensuing panic will cause far more deaths and damage to families than this virus.

    USE LOGIC (not raw emotion)

    They reset the clock every day. 20 is how many have died today since they reset the clock last night. If you click on the USA link and scroll down you'll see a graph that has the daily totals. 49 people died yesterday which is a drop from the day before which was 57 so while your point is still valid for today, you're numbers are off. And you can't make a direct correlate between deaths and the virus growth rate. Experience over time will cause us to handle cases better. Also not sure you want to use a 1 day history for a trend on a completely different and unknow graph.

    btw - you're condescending attitude makes you sound like a less educated ahole. But if that's what you're shooting for? Winning!

    Sounds like Trump finally realized that the number of deaths is his new scoreboard and that calling it Chinese virus doesn't help him convey to his base that this is a serious problem.

    Maybe now trader Jorge troll can finally quiet down with his shilling

    The death numbers are a big hit with Trump fans. It's the new denial mechanism.

    I really can't believe someone who is as incompetent and narcissistic as this man as president.

    You sound like Bagdad Bob.

    The battle to contain the virus is lost. Our health care system is about to be flooded. Deaths will skyrocket. This post will forever be hung around your neck - you'll probably have to retire you user name.

    I really don't mind TraderJorge's satire. Humor is a coping mechanism.

    NRA is just making stuff up as usual. Nobody is going to get anything done anytime soon concerning guns. Nobody cares.

    Just ask yourself what kind of chaos occurs IF the food supply chain breaks down ....

    You look at how people reacted to the growing threat Friday last week - grocery store shelves were barren. No bread , eggs , flour , sugar , dry beans & meat shelves empty , mostly due to the panic.

    How do those same people react when the shelves are bare and they have run out staples ?

    I ventured out to the grocery store yesterday .... shelves still pretty bare tho not as bad as last Friday.

    Many businesses are shut down - people not working , supply side not meeting demand and the longer this drags on , the worse it gets in that regard.

    I'm not buying a new weapon .... but if I didn't have an arsenal , I'd seriously consider it.

    For some people , everything is partisan ....
