Onnie - New Zealand immediately closed borders and imposed travel restrictions. I'm not a Trump fan, but he tried to do exactly that and was vilified as racist. The media pushback was extreme. Now he's slammed for not doing enough.
he was a month late trying to close the border, he only did china where most of the world was infected. he is a racist for keeping calling it the china virus or kung flu and not covid-19 or any other official name.
he is still golfing, he is hardly managing to push the mask, he didn't do bugger all for the first 3 months, and to this day he still think it will magically disappear.
There is a thousand things he could do to help the us citizens but he is too lazy to do anything and his main policy with pence have been to try shut down information channel, EG trying to remove the CDC from recommendations for meat plants, schools etc, trying to hide numebrs of actuals case, pushing for reduction of tests, removal of federal funding for testings, pushing for states to reopen despite not filling a single of his administration requirement etc ..
Trump is a total disaster and americans are dying thanks to his response, you will have over 300k death by the elections and close to 100M infected (already at 30M but you don't know as you don't test enough)

I'm Dutch, there are more bikes than cars in the Netherlands. This would be a very big hazard, very dangerous. And a biker falling over in front of your car wouldnb't be a picknick either, now would it.
I don't see why they can't do both; but then again I have more than a third grade education.
you must be living in the north of mexico...
you know, they could rotate them 90 degree and not make the holes line up with the bicycle tyres so to not make the road less sage for cyclists, especially at an intersection.
Problem solved.
