What is your opinion of this post?

He's an idiot and a coward, can only wear his big boy pants until somebody checks his homework. Then he deletes it.

What a sorry performance.
@GeistInTheMachine "Vance Ginn, the chief economist for the Texas Public Policy Foundation, is facing fierce backlash for a recent racist tweet that said schools should open since most of the people dying from coronavirus in Texas are elderly or Hispanic."

@Mamapolo2016 Typical trash out of Texas. Probably a GOP goon. Can't stand these officials.

What alarms me about this stuff is not that they post it - but that they don't even realize it's offensive until a few thousand express outrage.

@Mamapolo2016 oh, I think they do know.

This Tweet has a life even after it was deleted.

@Mamapolo2016 They know. It's just red meat for the base of moral degenerates.
I guess he didn't want to add African Americans to that list because black lives matter would protest in front of his house 😆

I saw CNN post today we have 150,000+ deaths due to Covid, pardon me but that's less than flu deaths no?
JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M
@DiegoWolfe and what is the price of tea in China?
@DiegoWolfe No, it is not less.

The CDC 's estimate of flu deaths in the US 2018-2019 is a range from a low of 26,339 to a high of 52,664.

In other words, the reported covid-19 deaths is somewhere between 6 1/2 times to 3 times last year's estimated flu deaths.


Here's where I got that:

@DiegoWolfe no it’s not less than the flu at all. It’s a little more than double the highest ever, and it’s that even tho we’re shut down AND now wearing masks.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout thank you for the reminder. Ugly truth about elitist. Although I’d like to think that’s not what Melinda intended. I hope the placebo study does get treatment after 2 years time.

I admittedly haven't checked to verify the claim, but assuming it is true, don't open schools because kids can carry the disease home. Keep universal mandates, because the virus is still prevalent and literally anyone can carry it. Not all hispanics are from Mexico. Many have never been there in their lives.

Come on November let's get here quick, so this all can be over and done with...

I will concentrate on part one. The media is not telling the full story. Locally, they are saying we have over 3000 cases of Covid-19. What they don't say is that is over a four month period. Nor do they say how many have recovered.
Zeusdelight · 61-69, M
Well if it's only the elderly and Hispanics - who cares.

Of course, let's not talk about the time it takes for people with non-fatal COVID-19 to get well, if they do. That would be inconvenient like the elderly and Hispanics apparently are.

More sad China virus drama.

Ginn is probably a member of the duopoly or corporate media looking to score political points, so I don't trust him.
It makes me tired
