U.S.A.....making it great again

Hello CC,

"I think America is simply too private to capitalise on the selfless things people might do."


That is an interesting concept.


But there is a belief that people can become power drunk. The powerful wealthy people have positioned themselves into very important position...hence they are powerful. If they are in love with their powerful self, and are drunk, surely with their important positions...they will try and preserve their sense of "power high"...as they have been successful for many years. With this virus...if it is 100% and not man made...the reality of just how important, powerful, and wealthy these people are...might come knocking on their door. If 100% natural, this virus will hold most..if not all accountable to being just a human.

Having faith did help Daniel in the lion's den.


I believe in free will....


If you want to pray, then pray.

If you don't want to pray, then don't pray.


They say that a human exists in 3 parts: mind, body, spirit.

The virus is playing its part on the body....for sure.


I am a believer that we do exist in more than one part (the body).

The proof for me was when I was studying for trying to become a better pool player. Some professional pool players say that playing pool is a large portion mental. So, when studying the mental aspect of the game....I discovered that the raised level of the heart rate would interfere with vision and feeling. Pool is also a game of sight and feel. So...without going into many details. There is more that exists to us than just the physical....from my personal exploration. The mind surely exists....separately from the body...I don't know if it can live outside of the body on its own (although I have scene movies allude to this when hooked up to machines), but I do know it can do things that I was not conscious of. (for example....breathing).

Anyway...this might be for another blog...

One final thing....so if we can prove humans existing as 2 things....perhaps the 3rd might be there as well and prayer does have some sort of validity to it.

Hello Kal,

I am so happy to hear from you and hopefully you are being safe over there.


Thank you for sharing what you have.

Always be careful there.

U.S.A.....making it great again

...but String, we as a caring/loving race of humans can try and do what we can do to help...especially those in need of breathing assistance.

U.S.A.....making it great again

String..."let it run it's course till they come up with a cure. keep doing what we have been doing."


Who knows....this thing might be so powerful...that might be what it does no matter what.

Hello Pat,

The people I speak to around here all know that this is a serious issue, and Trump's projection of having things turning around by Easter is a very far stretch. But...it is some hope...in a time where it seems that is about all we have at the moment.

U.S.A.....making it great again

Hello Chancer,

I agree with you, Trump is projecting positive messaging. .....and right now, we do indeed need that.

U.S.A.....making it great again

Pom.....stay safe over there....hopefully we on this whole planet pull through this with minimum, as possible, unhappiness as possible.

Take care....I enjoyed reading your comments and I can tell you have a beautiful heart.

Thank you.

Hello Chat...

I don't think now is the time to really be going after our President Trump. He is our President and the guy who is in charge. We have no say about that. I think we can only be encouraging and if for any reason we think we got somebody in ANY office, we can be smarter voters next time around.

Thanks for sharing your info.

U.S.A.....making it great again

Just another thought.....it would have been very expensive to prepare for some sort of pandemic. However, after a thought, I think it would depend on the shelf life of supplies. I wonder how long masks would last in careful storage?

I wonder how long other things/equipment/protective clothing the shelf life would be in careful storage.

I would not care, if I was laying on an ICU bed, if the equipment was 20 years old that was keeping me breathing...as long as it was working.

Preparing for something like this could have been down a little each year.

We certainly prepare for physical wars with the latest and greatest weapons.

...anyway, just a thought.

A lot would depend on the shelf life of the equipment. But...perhaps they could be designed and packaged with that in mind.

U.S.A.....making it great again

There is no question about it, he has some very difficult decisions to make. I like that he is business minded, business requires successful decisions to be made. I will say though...that made me a bit alarmed about him. He seems to have a temper. One thing I don't think is good, is making decisions from a state of being angry.

U.S.A.....making it great again

I just pray that we have competent people running this country. Us citizens have a lot at stake that the country gets ran right here.

U.S.A.....making it great again

...and one more summary in my opinion....this virus should not be politicized.


It is way too serious of an issue to be pointing fingers at one party or the other.

U.S.A.....making it great again

Palm...I am paranoid...lol....about downloading stuff from the internet on my computer.

U.S.A.....making it great again

Okay Palm, I tried. I cannot get it to work. lol

U.S.A.....making it great again

Okay Palm. I will listen. :)

Didn't Trump cut funding in his administration for professionals that could have handled this much quicker and better?

I forget what it was that he cut the funding on...but it was related to this very thing....if I am recalling right.



I applaud him if he did, I am not against saving our country some money.

I am a business man. When I run my business, I don't spend money on things that don't make me money.

....but, Trump is running a country.

U.S.A.....making it great again

Is that your recorded voice Palm? I have not attempted to listen to it...but it looks like there is something there to download.

U.S.A.....making it great again

Thanks Pom for the leeks offer. They sound like they would be something to look forward too, I am just a hesitant guy with giving my address out. I guess I am paranoid like that.

Thank you though. :)

U.S.A.....making it great again

2may, I enjoyed reading what you wrote....and from what I know, seems to be pretty accurate.

There is one thing I was disagree a bit with, about money buying elections. You are right about that as well...the politician who raises the most dollars, has the best chances of advancing. However, we seen this year with Bloomberg, with his billions, he was unable to buy it. So...there is some hope in that department.

Thanks for sharing your point of view.





We do have to stand together now, and I feel as a world we will be the better for it too.

U.S.A.....making it great again

CelticR....it might be.

U.S.A.....making it great again

Pat....it is a very delicate balancing act.


I agree with Trump about the cure being worse than the illness....but how can you justify allowing people to pass.....ever. Okay, it happens in war. But, this is slightly different. In war, it is for a grand cause, here..it is over money.

U.S.A.....making it great again

Hello Fargo.....true about voting, you need to select correct.


I will say this, for whatever it is worth....I would rather a leader of a country that is in very good standing with much of the rest of the world when some sort of global pandemic happens to show up.

U.S.A.....making it great again

Hello Palm,

Yes...population density does play a role with this. Molly mentioned about Italy and also their culture of living together and kissing.

This blog was brought up with consideration to China as well. We all know they have a much bigger population than we do, and lower reported numbers. So...if they are indeed not being honest with their numbers, that explains that. However...them lying...is just speculation right now, other than some reported satellite pictures of lines at hospitals there.

U.S.A.....making it great again

Thank you Pom . :)

U.S.A.....making it great again

Hello Pat. I am no expert, but just by listening to what doctors are saying, I doubt things will be over by Easter too.

However, with all fairness, Trump is thinking about opening the country up for business in areas that have not be severely hit by the virus. If he can manage to do that, more power to him. From what I see on the news, this is a highly contagious virus and I don't know how one would stop it from spreading in an area where business is going on like normal and a couple people in that population have the virus.

Interesting about the slogan use.

U.S.A.....making it great again

Pom....save some wine for the rest of us too. :) Molly.

U.S.A.....making it great again

Chancer,

Thank you for sharing some of those facts. I am with you....as far as being baffled is concerned....you bring up some good points and some things that should not be overlooked as well.

U.S.A.....making it great again

CelticR....you are welcome. :)

I have heard that with this virus, no person will be turned down from receiving healthcare.

U.S.A.....making it great again

It is easy for me to sit back here...after the fact and play armchair quarterback...while we are in the middle of this thing. Fair.

But, we citizens of this beautiful country, are in some cases, forced to buy insurance. What is insurance for? Well...just in case something bad happens, we are covered.
