Trump predicted that zero people would die and ****ing dithered like an idiot for months, meanwhile he's off by 100,000 and counting, and his stupidity and yours is trying to triple that number. That's not a discussion that's ****ing fact. You should be ashamed of yourself. You're making it worse.
And the death rates are less today than most yrs because of the stay at home orders. You want to keep the stay at home order to permanently keep the death rate down if you truly care about life. Or do you just want to gripe and complain about Trump? I think we know the answer to this question.
Care to give me a link? This still doesn't change the facts that less people are dying now than usual.
I want a president who tries to do his sworn duty, not a malignant idiot who creates a Holocaust while worrying about his cable TV ratings.
Even the phrasing "less people are dying now than usual" is embarrassing. Please admit you are trolling the board...
So you're not happy that Trumps actions have kept the overall death rate down? What's his sworn duty? To keep death rates down.
Jan. 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” — Trump in a CNBC interview.
Jan. 30: “We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five — and those people are all recuperating successfully. But we’re working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it’s going to have a very good ending for us … that I can assure you.” — Trump in a speech in Michigan.
Feb. 10: “Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape though. We have 12 cases — 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now.” — Trump at the White House. (See our item “Will the New Coronavirus ‘Go Away’ in April?“)
Feb. 26: “So we’re at the low level. As they get better, we take them off the list, so that we’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.” — Trump at a White House briefing.
It's the truth. Do you want to save lives then keep the stay at home order in place. You dont really care about saving lives.
Feb. 26: “And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” — Trump at a press conference.
Feb. 27: “It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.” — Trump at a White House meeting with African American leaders.
March 4: “[W]e have a very small number of people in this country [infected]. We have a big country. The biggest impact we had was when we took the 40-plus people [from a cruise ship]. … We brought them back. We immediately quarantined them. But you add that to the numbers. But if you don’t add that to the numbers, we’re talking about very small numbers in the United States.” — Trump at a White House meeting with airline CEOs.
OK, define or explain your phrase "less people are dying now than usual". This should be interesting.
March 9: “So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!” — Trump in a tweet.
If this was a boxing match, @raining threes' corner would be throwing in all the white towels. Heck, @SamFisher 's corner would be throwing in towells for rainingthrees...
No. 200,000 is a very bad number. If Trump hadn’t bungled the response early on, then the number would have been far less. Furthermore, the numbers were supposed to go down in may and into the summer. So far, the numbers haven’t been going down the way the experts had hoped. 200,000 is NOT a good number. Sadly, some nut jobs out there aren’t committed to social distancing and other measures needed to reduce the spread. Now we will all have to pay the price.
