Ummm I remember vividly begging for resources in a meeting with our battalion and task force commanders in Afghanistan.

Exactly.

I guess this may have already been debated yesterday, but....

It's been "Fauci is an alarmist" vs" Birx not citing worst case numbers to create panic"...

So, now that Birx suggests our best case scenario may be 100 - 200 thousand deaths, is she losing credibility, or is this the new accepted reality?

maybe there is some ambiguity in her comments?

Dr. Deborah Birx predicts up to 200,000 deaths ‘if we do things almost perfectly’

I don't trust either of them, they want to put out the worst case scenarios

 

[carlos86]

Sure you did. You get bumped up several pay grades?

Kind of what happens when you are in an operational position that is 2 pay grades above you.

I don't trust either of them, they want to put out the worst case scenarios

Birx said 100 - 200 thousand dead was the best case scenario.

That was my take, he heard of a successful older well known drug during a briefing that might help and outted it.

He probably said something like "i've heard great things about it". The reality of the situation was it might be the best thing we have above nothing.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Send those back to the mint.

Since when does an E-7 talk to a Task Force Commander?

Then you live in the wrong neighborhood

Moving soo...halalujah

I have no idea how many are on VN . So from his post we know for a fact that 2 live in a place surrounded by people that don’t share their ideology and those two aren’t use to hear the echo of their ideas and beliefs. That’s means 2 aren’t shocked when they hear a different ideology. You need to get better at trying to cherry pick from posts .

If you were on the Norfork Tides PF then you would have a point. Again your analogies are worthless.

I haven't had a single tech, driver or equipment operator lay out or even hint at not wanting to work but all of them make a lot more than $600 a week. Now as for the women in the office, only 1 is coming into the office, the rest are "working" from home.

I'm making up stuff to call and sending emails to all of them and keeping a log.

I think it's going to be more like $875/week here in Tennessee. That works out to almost $22/hr. We are a small shop, about 8 at any given time. We're down three guys right now. So I have four, which is a skeleton crew. I gave each of them an option to work individually, by themselves (each has their own trade). None wants to work. I even have the opportunity to do some service work for one of them and he doesn't want that either. I'm not paying them either. None have asked for a layoff slip. I'm not providing them one either when they have an opportunity to work. We even developed a procedure to sterilize all the common areas, breakroom, bathrooms and such after each shift.

 

[Stew Cook]

I watched the interview. Didn’t seem ambiguous to me.

I do wonder if they are thinking over the next year+. As in, 80,000 die by August then it fires back up in the fall?

Yeah, that was the only thing that wasn't clear to me. But at least 100 thousand dead 'if we do things almost perfectly." should be the sobering takeaway.

 

[volbeast33]

Yeah the administration changes its mind every other day here and really has no focus.... we don’t have any covid PTA yet but they are planning like we may take some.

The family members that I have living there have been staunch R's for as long as I've known them (in-laws). However, only the matriarch, who stays on social media, has much good to say about Trump.

I’ve lived in two different states where I was really close to military bases . This one and the Air Force base in California. Those two branch’s are completely different and I’ve found that there are more Ds here in Norfolk . I didn’t know as much about the people at Travis Air Force base , you don’t / didn’t at the time talk a lot of politics in California , if you were a liberal democrat.

they cant use abortion clinic space, they arent regulated and certified as safe medical facilities

I think the idea is that the healthcare workers would be available for assistance in other healthcare facilities as well as the materials in the clinic would be available for more critical patients. The reason dentist have been directed to limit procedures.

I think it is.

You might be surprised how often the chain of command gets skipped in the other direction to.

 

[1972 Grad]

Hahaha! What a joke. Obama is infinitely smarter and more equipped for something like this than Trump and it's not even close. Hell, Trump makes George W. almost seem competent.

Obama was right on top of the swine flu, wasn't he?

But again abortion providers can’t because they don’t have practicing medical licenses at hospitals.

 

[volbeast33]

It's not just them though. Anyone still working shouldn't receive a dime.

shut your mouth.... as long as they are passing them out.... lol

 

[Orange_Crush]

I'm no arbiter, that would be a critical mass of society.

49% approval rating. 45% disapproval rating.

You're definitely no arbiter at all.

 

[0nelilreb]

I’ve already made my point . Like usual you are trying , way to hard , to make it about one thing you cherry picked from that whole post .

I thought they fixed the wording to where a person couldn't make more on UE than they were while working? If they didn't then I expect to see some of my office people try to get "laid off".
