@brittany_aclark @fleccas Sorry how did you find out she registered to vote again in 2020? Couldn’t find it on the website. Even then, it might be a re-registration if someone doesn’t automatically get registered for each election

[Malagasy @MalagasyAT8]

@brittany_aclark @sartnow @fleccas My theory is that whoever processed the ballot probably looked up “William Blake” in the database, found the older one's entry instead of the younger one, and inputted it as “marked” when it is wrong. Also I can’t see any evidence it was registered on the same day?

@brittany_aclark @sartnow @fleccas Sorry if I wasn’t clear, it’s not confirmed that it goes to another Bradley but that it’s probable, given that a younger Bradley lives at the exact address.

@morgandowney7 @TheTrueGnu @Crusade53185345 @ebcunni @ApocalypseEld @capsandhockey @BradMor93817871 @mitchellvii More than one side can be divisive. The person you’re replying to feels that Trump is divisive as well, which is a sentiment shared by many.

@HottNwell @YourMajestiness @mitchellvii @EmilyGtweets But isn’t coronavirus more of a respiratory disease than flu? My understanding is that the respiratory effects of flu come down to complications, but the coronavirus affects the respiratory system much more directly.

@writer_rn It’s sad if people think it's “healthcare worker” snobbery, as if only high earning Doctors know what’s going on. They should ask the nurses, receptionists, cleaners and others on site what’s the situation. I have yet to find a counter example (I.e. “it’s not that bad”)

@0x445442 @morgandowney7 @ebcunni @ApocalypseEld @capsandhockey @BradMor93817871 @mitchellvii As someone who comes from a country heavily impacted by SARs and was one of the first to implement measures against the novel coronavirus, I could see why there is so much more fuss and worry regarding this than, say, swine flu.

[Malagasy @MalagasyAT8]

@0x445442 @morgandowney7 @ebcunni @ApocalypseEld @capsandhockey @BradMor93817871 @mitchellvii Difficult to compare H1N1 to this because this is a coronavirus, the other is a flu. A closer comparison would be the SARs epidemic in Asia in 2003. That was less infectious but far more deadly. Many Asian countries' current measures were lessons from then.

@JerryoakesJerry @TommyT412 @capsandhockey @BradMor93817871 @mitchellvii And then Trump could point to other countries doing the same thing + fact that Democrats themselves supported such a move. It is politically sound to do so, on top of being right in the first place.

[Malagasy @MalagasyAT8]

@writer_rn It’s so easy for all sides to reduce such an enormous outbreak to some simplistic cause, I.e. deep state, Chinese biological weapons etc. Etc. But just think how many out of this world things can happen at any given day. I wish the “hoax” crowd would better appreciate this.

[Malagasy @MalagasyAT8]

@writer_rn Some time ago, I recalled wondering to myself when the next epidemic would be. At the start of the coronavirus outbreak in China, I wondered how bad it could get. Admittedly the scale did catch me off guard, but is not unexpected if you think about it.

[Malagasy @MalagasyAT8]

@capsandhockey @BradMor93817871 @mitchellvii Because these things get worse exponentially, I.e. they increase by a fraction of the previous day's numbers. Measures take time to go into effect; if they are not put in place early, then it might be too late once they do get implemented.

[Malagasy @MalagasyAT8]

@mitchellvii Ultimately it is better to be safe than sorry. So far, I see the reaction as being valid, coming from someone who previously thought this was overblown. The stats (i.e. new cases per day), the science, the responses worldwide and anecdotal evidence all align. So why dismiss this?

[Malagasy @MalagasyAT8]

@mitchellvii I don’t get it. If Trump “overreacts” and the economy takes a hit, he won’t be blamed since other countries did the same. But if he “underreacts” and the situation ends up being dire, he will be easily blamed. Politically and pragmatically, it is more sensible to overreact.
