I’d be curious to see what percentage of non-Republican voters said yes/no to that one. By doing Republican and all, you’re including the Republicans in both numbers unless it’s just worded weird.

Obviously, shame on 57% of Rs that think that 176,000 deaths is "acceptable" but shame also on the 10% of Ds and 33% of Is that think the same. The correct fucking answer is UNACCEPTABLE for even one death let alone 176,000.

On quick glance I didn't see an answer to that question but the entire poll is near the bottom of this:

Acceptable is a weird word in relation to death. Everyone is going to die from something. Many people die from preventable causes. Maybe all Covid-19 deaths are preventable? Is one death from any preventable cause unacceptable?

In relation to or in context, perhaps to global numbers, is the only interpretation I can think of. Inevitable is the given

On the eve of the Republican National Convention where President Trump hopes to revive his flagging political fortunes, he will announce the emergency authorization of convalescent plasma for covid-19, a treatment that already has been given to more than 70,000 patients, according to officials familiar with the decision.

In a tweet late Saturday night, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said the announcement at 5:30 p.m. Sunday involved “a major therapeutic breakthrough on the China virus.” Officials confirmed on Sunday the treatment is convalescent plasma; they spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the issue. The White House declined comment.

Many scientists and physicians believe that convalescent plasma might provide some benefit but is far from a breakthrough. It is rich in antibodies that could be helpful in fighting the coronavirus, but the evidence so far has not been conclusive about whether it works, when to administer it and what dose is needed. On CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday, former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb said the blood product — derived from patients who have survived covid-19 — is “probably beneficial” for covid-19 patients. The issuance of an emergency authorization would make it easier to get in some settings. But he also said it already is widely available, so the change would be “incremental.”

My understanding is the reason convalescent plasma hasn’t been thoroughly studied is the us government has not coordinated a proper study.

@realdonaldtrump
The Democrats took the word GOD out of the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democrat National Convention. At first I thought they made a mistake, but it wasn’t. It was done on purpose. Remember Evangelical Christians, and ALL, this is where they are coming from-it’s done. Vote Nov 3!

Except they did say “one nation under God”, on all four nights. Who knew? Everyone. I guess Trump did not. Q probably did not know either.

Just need to cue Don talking his way through the national anthem and not put his hand on his heart or put his wrong hand on the wrong side of his chest. What a douche bag

I can't get an image to paste over on my phone, but Trump tweeted out that ballot drop boxes are a security threat to the election and they are not covid sanitized. Twitter took it down, or at least they blocked it.

This interview on ABC is weird because Muir and Williams are touching on similar subjects. Feel like they should have coordinated a bit better!

So I’m withdrawing from

to devote more time to family matters. And I’ll be taking a Twitter hiatus.

Needless to say, I continue to support the Lincoln Project and its mission. Passionately.

my mother’s job ruined my life to begin with. heartbreaking that she continues to go down that path after years of watching her children suffer. selfish. it’s all about money and fame, ladies and gentlemen.


i’m officially pushing for emancipation. buckle up because this is probably going to be public one way or another, unfortunately. welcome to my life


as for my dad, politically, we agree on absolutely nothing. we just both happen to have common sense when it comes to our current president. stop “stanning” him


y’all love to twist everything. i’m not getting emancipated because of my mom’s job.. it is because of years of childhood trauma and abuse

Any media outlet amplifying the Conway kid is pretty gross. NY Times social media started it months ago, NY Post not surprisingly adding on.
