Charlie Kirk: “There's a difference between liberals and leftists. It's a very big difference. A liberal is someone I will disagree with and we'll have a wonderful time. We'll go out to dinner and we'll consider each other friends. A liberal will have the conversation, and they'll say we might not agree on this, but I still treat you with respect and I really like you as a person. A leftist will try to shut you up before you even open your mouth. A leftist is rooted in intolerance.”
Dangerously dishonest by @MSNBC@PressSec was making the exact opposite point. McEnany argued “science should not stand in the way of this” BECAUSE “the science is on our side”
“We encourage for localities and states to just simply FOLLOW THE SCIENCE, open our schools"
@NateSilver538 Sustained gradual increases is more concerning than a sharp spike now? I thought the WHOLE POINT of flattening a curve was to get the former rather than the latter? I guess NY did it right after all by avoiding sustained & gradual.
As for "spikes", the word means a sharp, dramatic increase. While those can happen, what's both more common AND the bigger concern IMO is sustained gradual increases. If cases increase by 10% per week for 6 weeks, well, there's never a spike, but you can have really big problems.
The president is 73. His opponent is 77. The Speaker of the House is 80. The Senate Majority Leader is 78. The average age of the House is 58, in the Senate it is 62--one of the oldest Congresses in U.S. History. Stop thinking this isn't part of the problem.
@united can you tell me if flight 326 to IAD from Orlando is cancelled or not? I received a notification text that it was, but was able to check in again on same flight and it says “On time” now in my itinerary. Conflicting information.. I’ve been on hold for over 40 minutes!
