KS to allow gatherings for easter

[swamp]

At this point, fuck them.  I'm so over it.   Have  a good life and try not to bring down too many people who are trying to follow CDC guidelines.

I'm with you! I told a conservative friend of mine yesterday to get out there among 'em!

I personally think Trump should hold a big rally so they can all get together and chant "lock her up"! When they all get sick, I think the healthcare workers should tell them: TOO BAD....SO SAD!

[deminmaine]

Can we just make sure dodo and toto STAY in Kansas?  

[andi9899]

I'm wondering if this isn't in rural KS. I live in KC on the KS side and I don't know of anyone going to church on Sunday. I haven't heard of any services being open either.

Why would you say something like that to a "friend"?  For the record, not all conservatives believe that we should get together.  Me and almost every other conservative that I know are taking this EXTREMELY seriously.  We also aren't that far from NYC so we see what happens when you don't take it seriously.  But to basically wish your "friend" to catch a deadly virus speaks volumes about you.  

I'm in agreement that anyone that violates Stay-at-home orders should be marked and they get no ventilator if they wind up in the hospital.  You would be interested to know that in my county, 90% of the cases are from one large city that is 60% Hispanic and not conservative at all!  They are actually under curfew because they aren't taking this seriously.  It's so bad in that city that County Officials requested the National Guard to be brought in but our idiot Governor has shot that down, too.  So no, this is not a conservative/liberal issue.  It is an issue of idiots and they are in all political parties.

Because I am sick and tired of the conservatives I know still believing Trump and his spew that this is nothing but a DEM hoax to bring him down and move the country one step closer to socialism.  I watched Hannity the other night and his spew was "we can't let the cure be worse than the virus, we've got to open the country back up"  Hey buddy, you go first....get right on out there!

You may not see it but it is. The areas that have not locked down are Republican, and the only news programs questioning the need are conservatively oriented. It doesn’t mean that no democrats are not following the rules, but this skews conservative, and flows down from the president. Remember, he said he isn’t wearing a mask, even though the cdc said we should. I am exposing myself because of my job. People who don’t behave and then get sick are increasing my risk, because they need care. Yet I am supposed to listen to your worry about getting it?

I don't believe race was ever anything suggested it was about other than yourself. Are the bad brown people out partying, or are they having to go to work? It's likely the latter. What is the demographic of the other 40%? Or does it matter to you because they aren't brown?

Not all people can work from home. Some such as essential workers are exposing themselves so that those of us who can work from home get the goods or care that we need. And as pmd pointed out, it's mainly conservatives not taking this as seriously as others. The POTUS is a pretty good example of this.

[Tennesseer]

Time to start rerouting any and all respirators to Kansas.

[swamp]

The ones around here who arent' taking this seriously are the residents of the public housing authority that I represent.  I get calls and emails daily about the residents having parties, etc.    

I have no idea about there political affiliation, but they are about 99% white and I see lots of Trump banners and stickers on apartments and vehicles.

Now that is the problem isn't it? As someone posted on FB recently, in language even the trumptards should understand, having some states/areas/groups not practice social distancing is like have a peeing section in a swimming pool. We will all be affected by this anti-social behavior.

[busymom]

It isn't only Kansas where some idiot Republican in charge is doing something stupid.  The Georgia governor reopened the beaches.  If it weren't for the innocent people who will be exposed by some idiot who decides to hang out in groups, it'd just be the Republicans who will be "thinning the herd".  

I will give some credit to the government in Jacksonville.  Even though it took longer than I would've liked for them to close the beaches, they're keeping them closed, even though some idiots are pushing to reopen the beaches there.

IDK,   I keep feeling like there's a joke about "marrying a cousin" involved with this... not as in actually "marrying a cousin" but from the general idea that the people who are, rural? enough, probably don't have that big a circle of people they actual know  and don't know/have little contact with  any "outsiders".   If you've got a closed social circle  (why you'd need to marry your cousin if you had any hopes of getting married)  then maybe it doesn't matter if they all congregate.     Animals, bugs and germs blowing in the wind  aren't spreading Covid19.       You need to run into another human with it AND spend some time with that human. 

I keep envisioning "little towns" in the middle of nowhere with the local militia stationed at both ends of the road that goes thru it... making sure strangers stay on the may road and don't stop or talk to anyone as they pass thru the "town".      

I need to get out more... I know. 


And 2% of 5000 is 100.   Hardly any deaths...   <-- sarcasm

Considering Trump wanted to enforce the borders, I can assure you that the majority of the residents in the city I’m talking about are NOT trump supporters. My comment wasn’t about race or color of someone s skin being the cause of covid-19. My comment was about the people that are not following orders. Idiots of all races and political affiliations are ignoring the orders. This city is now 60% Hispanic and they also have a much higher % if illegals than they rest of the county. It just is what it is. And there is no way that they are trump supporters. They hate anything related to enforcing the border.

You don’t have to listen to my worry about getting it. You can block me so you don’t see my posts. I’m just as worried as everyone else. I wanted martial law weeks ago. I wanted to lock down NYC to stop the spread into my state. Now I want to lock down the city in my county that has the majority of cases because they are fucking idiots that don’t listen. They have a hospital in their city that will be overrun soon, which means they might come to my local hospitals and take up beds that should be reserved for people that followed the rules. Fuck the rest of them. If you don’t want to follow the rules then you suffer the consequences once resources are limited.

Yet you still support the president who still refuses to act like a leader in this situation. He still has yet to call for a nationwide lockdown, preferring to leave it to the states. Don’t you think more people would take it seriously if he did that?

You also live in a very white area. People in my town are 98% white based on the last census. Based on me walking around the neighborhood, I don’t think much has changed. Of course anyone breaking the rules in my area will most likely be white.

Just read on my Facebook that there was a 20 person brawl at a local public housing development in a local city. Guess what...not one of the people involved were white. So what does that prove? The majority of residents in that housing place are not white. Odds
Are the idiots there breaking the rules aren’t going to be white

I’ve also seen posts from white people quading in the woods. I’m sure there are bonfires and people not following the 6 foot rule. Does that prove that only whites are idiots?

It’s really a shame that even in a pandemic we can’t just come together.

The ‘hot spot’ map for our region shows the highest cases in two suburbs of the small city I work in that have a lot of poor and working poor who were pushed out of the gentrification going on downtown. A higher percentage of non whites than the other suburbs. The third area is a rural almost 100 percent white area where the mayor just imposed a curfew because big groups of the locals keep gathering to socialize - gotta drink beer with your buddies someplace. Yet most of the other rural counties have very few cases.

Doesn’t seem to be rhyme or reason to it.

First off, you have no idea what I support or don’t support. And I can imagine the uproar if there was a national. I got slammed for suggesting martial law to keep everyone home. Slammed on this board.

What you disagree with me on is that I blame my governor for my state. He could have locked my state down and instead, in true liberal fashion, he kept our boarders open. Now we have been infected my the inflow of people from NYC. The pattern of counties really impacted is literally the fucking bus routes from NYC. So yes, I hold the governor completely responsible for that.

Why is it that white conservatives (not all, mind you) seem to think that they know everything about how Hispanics think? Do you even have any Hispanics in your social circle? I'm Mexican and you're absolutely right that I don't support DT. However, I do support border control. I do not support a wall.

I don't know anyone who supports "let all the illegals in."    

Border control does not equal a wall.   The wall is stupid because it does nothing to stop people from overstaying their visa, which is a major source of illegals.  it also doesn't stop human trafficking through ports of entry, and it doesn't stop people from flying here, taking a boat, or tunneling under the wall.    To me, it's the perfect metaphor for trump, big, ugly, all for show, overpriced, and useless.
