Cuomo will be the nominee when it’s all said and done, who wins between him and Trump is anyone’s guess and hinges a lot on the state of the economy around election time,

Mental capacity not strongest ground on which defend Trump. But yours likely prevents you from seeing that.
While I agree with president Obama on this, I want to stress that it is certain moderates and liberals who are most responsible for the climate crisis. Those who accept the science but don't really care to do anything about it are most to blame.
I hope we can all finally see what an exponential threat really means. If we don't get ahead of the curve on climate, billions more will die.

How are those who accept there is a crisis more to blame than those who deny it?
3/30 stats
The good news is that the Italy/France/Spain cluster continues to improve. The bad news is everywhere else. But if we are looking to I/F/S as a lens to see what our future is, not a bad day.
In the IFS cluster, daily deaths dropped 3%. The average of the last three days is +1%.
Italy and Spain combined had deaths fall 8% Tu over Monday. The 3 day average is -3%, which is good.
Italy's daily new case total has been in a band for 14 days. Spain 9. So we have to think that the curve is likely topping out in those two countries. France isn't there yet.
That's all good.
Lots of bad news though.
Global deaths up 15%. Which is inline with long term averages but much higher than we've seen in recent days.
The US is really bad - daily deaths up 63% in one day. The most deaths yesterday of any nation.
IFS fell below 50% of the world daily death toll for the first time.
The broadest measure I use, change in daily deaths over 5 days, is actually at the lower (better) end. Which is good.

Those who deny climate change are a lost cause.
But those who accept the science are in the vast majority. Even a majority of Republicans accept that climate change is real. Yet, only a handful are treating the climate crisis as an emergency. AND IT IS AN EMERGENCY!!!!

Waiting for voters/regular people to want radical action on the environment is a waste of time. People are concerned with keeping their job and keeping food on the table, not taking action to reduce their incomes and inconvienence them so maybe in 100 years their great grandkids will have a better earth.
it's not going to happen. it is expecting too much of people.
The only way big change happens is if politicians grab it, sell it, and get something done.
Again, something in common with trumpanzees, agip:
Endless search for miraculous “outliers” to prove the impossible. Currently the trumpanzees are begging Sweden to have a miracle, but Sweden, one of the last to avoid lockdown, is now seeing a sharp increase. If anything, it shows that the virus often does worse in cold weather. Not a good sign, since summer’s coming here.
Before that it was Russia that was supposed to be a “bright spot” lol, but no more. Putin has virtually disappeared after instituting sharp penalties for virus disinformation. Funny guy.
We’re being killed by stupidity & lies & arrogance. Grow up, people, Mother Nature owns the joint; we’re just staying the night.
In nature, a species that can protect its young and the members of its group, that species has a better chance to survive.

I do appreciate the humor.
That's pretty clever.
For some reason we are all rallying around dotards to continue as or be the next president.
We'll use Joe to win and put some good people in charge to run things.

I'm not so sure that those who accept the science are the vast majority - particularly amongst some political and business leaders. Self-interest collides with science. And then there are the plain dumb - who are too numerous to be counted.

All the polls and surveys show that those who accept the science are in the vast majority.
What I'm hoping is that more people will finally grasp what an exponential threat is and why it's so important to get out in front before it is too late.
It amazes me that some people still support Trump given how horribly he handles the crisis. I mean, you can have a lockdown and a laissez faire approach, but surely T pushed for the worst of both worlds. First he says it's just (actually he said it's less) than the flu. Now all of a sudden he says without drastic measures 2M will die? And if we stay below 100K we did a good job? Seriously, even if Biden would be in a wheelchair by November he'd still be a better candidate. At least he listens to experts and he's not a lying narcissist. T failed miserably precisely because of this key weaknesses: he cares only about the stock market (of course even if you do that earlier action is better; see South Korea). He thinks he's smarter than he is (so he didn't listen to experts until now).

There's a difference between "science denier" and things like climate change deniers. The problem is twofold. The first is that certain sciences have been heavily fuzzed by politicians, and the second is that, in response to this, many scientific disciplines have retreated to very passive and careful language that really only makes it even easier to hijack by interest groups. At the end of this is the average person, and for many people it isn't as obvious where the actual truth lies.
This is really just scratching the surface too.
"The 2019 study warned otherwise — specifically urging Americans not to conflate the risks of a typical flu and a pandemic. The existence of that warning undermines administration officials’ contentions in recent weeks that no one could have seen the virus damaging the economy as it has. The study was requested by the National Security Council, according to two people familiar with the matter."
If your opponent keeps shooting himself in the foot, just stand back and let it happen.
"The result suggested that Biden had not been hurt politically from his lack of visibility while the Republican president is at the center of a government response to a pandemic that has infected more than 184,000 people in the United States and killed more than 3,700 people."

If you've paid attention for any amount of time, he's clearly off the rails. He posts nonsensical things on every COVID-19 thread.
He used to be isolated on this thread, but now has spread to other threads.

I don't think a lot of people have taken the time to look at the science. The vast majority of political and business leaders will only do what serves their self-interest regardless of whether they've looked at the science.
As you said, the dumb, head-in-the-sand contingent is the majority.
