No one gave a shit back then though (as evidenced by all the pictures of Woodstock lol). Guess we all know where you got this from. There was no epidemic during Woodstock, it happened in between the 2 waves of the virus when everyone thought it was gone. Its only by hindsight that you can say it was 'during'. It is true that the Woodstock festival fell between those dates – it took place in August 1969 at a dairy farm in upstate New York. However, a closer look at the timeline of the disease shows why it is misleading to suggest that Woodstock happened “in the middle of a pandemic”. The peak for most U.S. states was December 1968 and January 1969 (Dec 28, 1968 in New York state). See article here . The first season of the pandemic had ended in the U.S. by early March 1969 and it did not flare up again until November of that year, several months after Woodstock, as can be seen in figure 1 here . The diagram shows the pattern of the Hong Kong flu in six countries, of which only Australia was experiencing epidemic activity in August 1969. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-woodstock-pandemic-1968-idUSKBN22J2MJIn other words, Woodstock happened between the first and second waves in the United States of the H3N2 Hong Kong flu that emerged in 1968, but not during a peak in infections and months after the first season of the flu had ended in the U.S. Joel Rosenman, co-producer of Woodstock, told Reuters via email: “Woodstock was not partying in defiance of pandemic containment measures, because at the time of Woodstock, there was no pandemic, and there were no containment measures to defy. In the months following the December-January peak of the pandemic, the flu all but disappeared. By mid-‘69, any preoccupation with the virus had given way to widespread unconcern. Media coverage had dwindled to virtually zero. As far as the nation was concerned, the pandemic was in the rear-view mirror. It was during this time, not during the pandemic months of the previous winter, that my co-producers, John Roberts, Artie Kornfeld, Mike Lang and I created Woodstock—without so much as a thought about ‘pandemic.’ It wasn’t until the next flu season, several months after Woodstock, that we all found ourselves in a horrifying déjà flu.” | ||

I'm sorry that you have been in a coma for the last 4 years and have only just woken up, congratulations on that, but Trump has 4 years of strait corruption after corruption case and has been spending most of his time golfing. He is the utter definition of Corrupt and useless. And a strong feeling of Democracy and Freedom? Trump literally said not long ago that the vote counting should stop and that he should be declared the winner with an unfinished count. That isn't Democracy, that is a strait up Dictatorship. What am I even reading... Trump said, that votes should stop being accepted, not counted... Also he said "as far as I'm concerned I won". That is really far from declaring a win. Just to name a few things that Trump did in his term - removed NAFTA and signed USMCA, massive tax cuts to the middle class, hugely improved the political climate in the middle east. The economy was doing great before COVID, last quarter GDP rebounded from covid with +33.1%. So yeah... if this was done while he was mostly golfing... pretty good acheivement. | ||

Our politicians sure did a much better job eh. Yeah agreed, I don't think it would make much of a difference who is in the US office. Just look at the difference between Asia and Europe/US and how Europeans are protesting lockdowns. | ||

It's also easy to look up. There were 2 waves 1968-1969. Lol, in between....ok. My point stands. Was there an in between with Covid? Are you going to argue that during June-Aug Covid went dorment? (I guess if people think it's gone then it's gone?) | ||

I still hope the supreme court is less insane than Trump and will bump all these decisions back down to state level, unless states' voting rules explicitly violate the constitution. But with it being close enough to come down to next week's mail-in votes in Nevada means this is going to go on for weeks or months before it's clear who will actually be the next president. As Nevada is probably going to be a minor battle in comparison to recounts, court cases, etc. in the rust belt and Georgia. | ||

I am pretty sure the words were that they "should stop the counting" or something along those lines. Not that they should stop accepting other votes but that they should stop counting (the votes already in but not counted yet) | ||

Tax cuts are not, in isolation, a good thing. When people think about tax cuts they assume the government plans to spend less of their money. What Trump did was quadruple the government deficit to give giant tax cuts to the ultra rich and modest tax cuts to some of the middle class (while raising taxes on those who give to charity and those with larger families due to the changes to exemptions and the standard deduction). If I offered to get rid of taxes entirely would you call that an achievement or would you question my financial planning skills? | ||
