    Fully 1/3rd of all cases are here because Trump ignored the warnings.

    1/4 of all deaths are in the USA - which is ridiculous as we have less than 5% of the worlds population.

    Trump and his inept cabinet have killed more American's than the vietnam war.....

    Canada has less than HALF the deaths per 100k people that the USA does. Predictions are that it's getting worse. Trump & the Republican government is a failure, the consequences are thousands of dead people. Wake the **** up.

    I'm not talking about flu related death I'm talking about all deaths. Injury/Fire Drownings etc.... but you already knew that. Nice try at skewing the argument.

    Apparently we have a new contender for the poster most divorced from reality.

    It's not a bad number when 2.2 million were predicted even if thats the worse case. Say they missed by 1 million that would still leave 1.2 million dead and at 200,000 (Which is a high number) that's still not a bad number. When you figure in the numbers by lives being saved by not having accidents etc... by the stay at home policies those numbers begin to look even better overall. In fact more lives are being saved than usually lost.

    There's a reason that you are seeing hospitals/police/fire rescue being laid off.

    The denizens of NYC are blaming the Europeans, who are a shifty folk I must admit.

    You own that title. Assuming we're also still counting college football posts in the time of Corona.

    Word on The Street is that the bad number is 330 million. Anything less than that is a tremendous success. Trump would be made King.

    trump's complete disregard for the United States Constitution and fear of transparency is making a mockery of proper governmental oversight... republicans in congress should understand that this will weaken whatever hopes they have of advise and consent in the future.

    What is the House's objectives for these hearings? I've seen the headlines of the White House blocking Fauci and now others, but haven't really seen a good explanation of what the House is hoping to accomplish with them.

    Pretty much on cue there have been posts on Clutchfans today saying that we're doing a good job because we're not hitting 2.2 million deaths and that the people dying were sick and going to die soon anyway.

    So you think 330 is the number?

    I think you left out the sarcasm emoji.

    Trump is too busy playing the blame game to where this originated instead of focusing more on the current situation. States are NOT meeting guidelines for easing restrictions, yet he ignores the facts of the current situation across America. Again, Texas has over 1,000 new cases and climbing. We are NOT past the curve.
