Neither, responders respond, they don't plan, at least not for entire nations. Tea partiers just want to be left alone to be as ignorant and irresponsible as they can be.

Fact TG!   I can even tell the military trained dentist over their counterparts.  They are faster, and have a greater attention to detail.  I guess after the first 5000 patients they can do things with their eyes closed.

Always impressed with the crew that cuts recruits hair at MCRD PI.  60 seconds max.

Then any day of the week during normal business hours, they take 5 minutes, no more or less.

Less gets them no tip, more, decreases the amount of heads they can cut, thus fewer tips,

but I watched time and time again barbers who were just clicking scissors around the DI's heads until their time was up.

Nice respite for the officers and non coms is what it was in reality

Where is the "tea party"? American Veterans who are in nursing homes across the country are stuck without visitors, dying every day, and no way to even count the deaths happening because there was no early testing available. You would think the military would have gotten 1st priority but we know for a fact that did not happen. Trump had the Navy captain fired for even sending a letter asking for help on his ship. Now we know there were over 600 men infected and some have died. Veterans in nursing homes across the country have been put last on the list of care. Instead of supporting our troops and calling out Trump, they once again parade around like a gun is the solution for everything.

They say that but turns out they are. And that one issue is abortion. Doesn't matter what else they agree with a candidate about, if that candidate is pro-choice, they won't vote for him/her, period.

I can take a pro-life candidate because chances are he/she will never do anything about it.

We shall see. Everytime one of those red states enact more abortion restrictions it's overturned by the courts.

I have faith in the American people that most of us want safe, legal abortions because we stay out of other people's business. You don't have to like abortion to be pro-choice

Same here. People need to talk to their kids frankly and truthfully about sex and how to prevent pregnancy and disease. I did with mine. I was constantly chewing on their ears about safe sex and being responsible.

Well.…. can't go with the "Trained First Responders" !

If I did, I'd have to admit that they did a good job "Responding" to this "Virus", before it got to the point it has now !

We do have the "6 ft. apart" preventative medicine now though. Of course, my 4 year old grandson probably coulda figured that out !

Medical experts. 

I find it sad that some think that we just need to count on Americans being 'responsible'. If they are getting their information from Trump's daily briefings, what was 'responsible' yesterday is 'going too far' today. Trump's FDA and CDC have continuously lowered the standards of every guideline in the last 2 months. They've gone from mandating that health care workers wear single use N95 masks to telling them that wearing a bandanna is good enough. 

Now we have GOP Governors who are rushing to be Trump's #1 sycophant by opening up their states. Ironically, NONE of them are actually following the 'guidelines' set forth by their Master. Not ONE of the states that is opening now has had 14 days consecutive days of 'downward trajectory' of cased. Not ONE has set up extensive testing, surveillance and tracing so they can stay on top of new outbreaks. Hell MOST of them haven't even been able to achieve 14 consecutive days of 'strict physical distancing protocols'.
