World News – United States – Presidential Debate Committee clearly not playing full game

The first telephone was invented in 1861 The technology behind it changed a lot over the next 100 years, but it wasn’t until the 1950s that Americans stopped considering home phones like an extravaganza (The 1920s also saw the invention of the two-way radio, the hand-held versions of which were later dubbed ‘walkie-talkies’) Nokia arguably ushered in the deepest development by introducing rectangular cell phones that could easily fit into the front pocket of a pair of Levi’s Video conferencing didn’t take off until a few years later thanks to the Internet revolution; first for businesses, and later, as broadband connections became more available, the rest of us

For 150 years, humans have harnessed the power to converse in real time over vast distances, which is just one of the reasons it’s so amazing, during the worst pandemic in a hundred years, the Commission on Presidential Debates ruled that the vice president and the potential future vice president should struggle with only the length of an average-sized alligator between them This just days after the president himself was hospitalized in Covid-19 and that a large number of White House aides have been confirmed infected

Tonight’s vice-presidential debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris is expected to continue,…

So how stupid is the Commission on Presidential Debates? This is very stupid! And so we’re not talking about some dumb faceless entity, here’s that includes this super dumb group:

There is a highly contagious and deadly virus circulating You may have heard of it Since March, it has killed over a million people; 210,000 of them here in America As you might expect, the epidemic has finally spread to the highest levels of our incompetent government The President was briefly hospitalized His wife and several of his key staff are also ill, including two military assistants whose job it is to wear what is amazingly known as « nuclear football » »

On Monday, the vice commander of the US Coast Guard tested positive, sending the Joint Chiefs of Staff – literally the highest military officials in the country – scrambling for shelter. The defenses were not compromised, however, because, unlike the Commission on Presidential Debates, the Department of Defense did not rely solely on new technology during the Eisenhower years.

If only there was a way to talk to Kamala Harris and Mike Pence simultaneously in different rooms and watch live footage of both on the same TV screen at the same time

In what is perhaps the most dismal solution imaginable to this super-solvable situation, the Commission on Presidential Debates – which should be noted at this point, while babies may be asleep -be in cradles brushed with lead paint – short plexiglass « barriers » between the two desks where candidates will be seated tonight

Even this « precaution » went against the wishes of the outgoing vice president, who was reportedly tested negative for the virus despite being photographed in and near several assistants and the president who all confirmed they were covid -19-positive

For anyone who lacks common sense or is simply unaware of the obvious features of how airborne viruses work, a pair of five-foot-tall plexiglass dividers are not what serious experts consider a difficult security measure Ask yourself: Would a rational parent put their baby on the desk? Kamala Harris will debate tonight if a person in front of her – who has been repeatedly exposed to a highly transmissible pathogen – is sitting on the length of a long fishing rod? No Of course not (Conversely, who the hell knows who Harris has been in rooms with)

The CDC confirmed this week that the new coronavirus can ‘linger in the air for minutes to hours’ and travel farther than previously thought This is different from previously released guidelines, according to which the virus can attach itself to « respiratory droplets » produced when people breathe out, sneeze or cough The virus can also travel – probably to a much lesser extent – via aerosols, which are microscopic Due to their size, aerosols are not pulled down to the ground by gravity like the largest moisture droplets expelled from a human mouth They can linger, potentially for hours, waiting for someone to inhale them

All this to say that the guidelines that people who genuinely care about ending the pandemic have been following for nine months are not foolproof And when it comes to protecting the man or woman who is number one in the presidential line of succession, « bulletproof » is literally the word you are looking for There is simply no good reason to roll the dice on this one, certainly not for « the optics », which is the only thing behind the decisions about the logistics of tonight’s debate

1) The Commission on Presidential Debates is so stupid that it tried to surf a microwave

2) The Commission on Presidential Debates is so stupid it cannot find the « 

3) The Commission on Presidential Debates is so stupid it got a black eye from a punchline

Maybe Pence’s plan If he can bring Cheatolini’s disease to Kamala, she’ll bring it back to Biden and the Democratic inner circle MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Or maybe this is the Commission’s plan on presidential debates After all, if you shorten to COPD, respiratory issues are pretty much your thing

Utah, Salt Lake City, coronavirus, debate
