So the US case rate has become extremely partisan

lol, conservatives dying to own the libs.

Trigger the libs by making them grief for their lost loved ones.

I'm going to move this one to PolDisc, given that at this point in the pandemic, most of the issues involved are (for better or worse) inherently political.

It is ****ing insane that an issue of global health is political.. but here we are.

Thirded. I am sick to death of  tolerating the politicization and distortion of easily understood facts, as if the virus gives a tinker’s damn what your political alignment is.

[starlord]

Couldn’t agree more.

I am not entirely sure that this has *now* become a contentious political issue, and not several months ago when it was being politicized by several members of this board.

Relevant link to my Twitter post from February 28.

Easily the scariest thing about the Coronavirus is that @realDonaldTrump and his administration have made it political. Now it's about saving Trump instead of saving lives.

I mean, at this stage coronavirus is just an ever-present threat to virtually everyone around the globe. The only thing to talk about is how different governments choose to combat it, it's political in its very nature. I just wish the US's response wasn't one of denial, bickering and mass death.

To be fair those are our three chief exports at this point.

Really wish the Netherlands hadn't been sucker-punched by a second wave. It's not like it was predicted from even before the first cases hit Europe.

The french senate has voted for bars and  nightclubs to stay open.

The french health minister doesn’t understand, neither do I.

[Grizzly]

Aren't the french ministers being investigated by the police? Atleast before that grisly murder?

[starlord]

Are you referring to the teacher?

If so, the educational minister has only addressed a speech. Nothing more.

There are investigations though regarding the covid crisis, dealing with the current health minister, the former one, and some logistics element ( it turns out our warehouses were empty of masks and PPE which should have been stocked to serve a situation like this one).

This is the answer to what I meant to ask, thanks

Sorry for bungling the question.

New restrictions are back in place in Italy too. While we fared fairly good in the beginning stages of the 2nd wave, we had a sudden surge in new cases in the past weeks.

Lombardy is still the most badly hit region in the country, with Milan being the most badly hit city right now, quite unsurprisingly being the 2nd most densely inhabited city in the country. From Thursday a curfew from 11 PM to 5 AM will be in place in the whole region.

SECOND WAVE BABY

When I asked for a ban back in primordial whenever-the-**** Axem quipped that I should be back in October, just in time for Wave 2. ITS ALL HAPPENING AGAIN

[The E]

A decision was made (which I don't necessarily agree with, but w/e) to move the ongoing coverage of the covid omnishambles to the politics board.
