This is the sort of mental case Trump is making out of his supporters

Absurd.

They were, are, and will.
YOU are politicising it. Yanks 'politicise' EVERYTHING!
Actually, politics is concerned with everything. You cannot politicize something where politics already has an interest.

It’s possible to discuss something without its politics only by compartmentalizing the focus of the discussion.

No one has ever been alive before, so no one really knows what they are doing in any specific human event from moment to moment, so we can only do what we think is right in the immediate moment, and if it's wrong then that's just too bad, it is what it is. What will be will be.

Hardly anyone alive today has faced a health crisis of such magnitude as what we are witnessing right now in realtime during this current pandemic - which is real and seriously a problem for all of humanity economically, emotionally, and physically. We must not be afraid to admit or deny the truth that we are facing a situation where the blind are leading the blind. Precaution and preparation is key. We might not have been ready for this pandemic as Bill Gates has implied, but if we are wise, we will be ready for any future scenario. Ultimately though, it is the virus itself that will decide the final outcome of this once in a lifetime event. Even though there have been other spooky health scares in the past, such as anyone with an ounce of intelligent awareness already knows about...So it's of no use to keep on mindlessly arguing and pointing angry fingers at our leaders or others who are desparately and frantically trying their level best to figure out exactly how to mangage this pandemic. Our doctors/nurses and our leaders are only human like everyone else, they are not super marvel comic hero's who can wave a magic wand and make it all go away in an instant ...no one is that perfect.

Bullshit. The same thing happened in the early 2000s with SARS, also caused by the Chinese and their revolting meat markets. It did nothing about it and this is the result. And if we get on top of this then it will be business as usual in China and the same thing will happen in another few years with a different virus. Humans are fucking morons.
And as no one is 'allowed' to say it because the PC fuckturds will say 'waaah, that's RACIST', our only hope is that the virus will selectively kill every PC fuckturd on the planet.

Won't happen.

The virus hasn't got the mind nor intent to select it's victim. Who lives and dies is of no minds choosing.

I've been sheltering in place for the past couple of weeks as directed. I learned how to use a sewing machine last week and made some face masks out of shirts I don't wear anymore. I also created an online poetry contest for the kids in my neighborhood. Waiting now for the kids to submit something.

What are others doing during all this? Has anyone found any good hobbies or ways to help out neighbors during all this mess?

Do you live in the US? If so, why don't you teach the children that NO country is GREATER than any other - that actually the US is doing REALLY SHIT (as i predicted 3 weeks ago) at handling this virus. That they shouldn't listen to FUK TARD rich twats that US brainwashed simpleton masses elect?

There are too many coincidences that point to this virus being released deliberately. You have to do your own research on why NOW

This recent release is thought to have been a deliberate ploy to crash and reset the world's economy.

No one really knows the truth of why this virus now, but someone does, lets be clear about that.

As for the lies that is the human story. There is now being put in place the following scenario.

Silent weapons, quiet wars.

One world government
One world currency
Martial law
Depopulation
Mandatory vaccinations
Cashless society
Artifical intelligence
Roll out of 5G globally
Agenda 2021/2030
Financial reset

Also, it might be worth remembering that.. If you write about hundreds of different scenarios that could possibly play out, you're probably going to get something right in the end. If they shutdown every country on this planet successfully, when the smoke clears, we'll be living in an Orwellian dystopia very similar to 1984.

But what do I know?

The world is not what it seems, nor is it otherwise. It's really time to wake up else you lose yourself forever. Your real self will await your return, simply because it never leaves, it just watches on in complete detachment and amusement.

Sorry, there's no cure for delusion, that was just another sick trick.

Here, in House Quirk, we're doin' the standard things one does in a severe thunderstorm: mainly hunkerin' down at home.

More generally we're adherin' to our version of the rules...

Wash your hands, stop touchin' your pretty face, stop bein' so touchy-feely with others, consult your doc if you're worried, stop lookin' to gov for solutions, stop listenin' to talkin' heads, and calm down.

Do you live in the US? If so, why don't you teach the children that NO country is GREATER than any other - that actually the US is doing REALLY SHIT (as i predicted 3 weeks ago) at handling this virus. That they shouldn't listen to FUK TARD rich twats that US brainwashed simpleton masses elect?
What a bizarre response. :?

Why don't you extrapolate on what is bizarre in my response?

Of course, one wouldn't use the terminology I have used. More like, children understand that every country has many great things about it. We in the US should not be considering electing super rich people thinking that they are going to do the best by us, and in the ridiculous notion that because one is super rich, that they must have an extremely high IQ and also be benevolent to the betterment of US and mankind in general.

How does that sound for starters?
