What’s shaneful is your rewriting of history and lack of awareness in what is going on with Otaly

I want my local officials to decide when and if local schools are closed. If they ask the CDC for guidelines and the CDC can provide none, then there is a problem.
If you don’t agree and say it like I say it, then you are wrong and deserve to be gaslit! >: (

Well aren’t we a half glass full person today? 
I’d rather the President promote the correct behavior first and leave nothing up to interpretation or make things a “teaching moment”.

i see no panic outside of the ■■■■■■■■ buying up all the toilet paper.
anything we do to prepare will be called panic, anything we do after will be called not enough.

I’m not disagreeing with the facts of classification. Read slower
I’m explaining this from a scientific perspective, in layman’s terms. I also compared the symptoms. Why is that not good enough for you?

He is a dual citizen of Italy and the US and moved his family back to Italy a couple years ago…

hence why there is conflicting information being released even now. did you not noticed what was released at today press conference? Trump and the Trump admin has been ■■■■■■■ it up since day one. its only today that he seems to have finally realized what the hell is going on and there is no telling how long that notion will last in his head until he decides the time to go tweets attack against governors or people who made fun of him.
that is not doing “the best as can be done under the circumstances” far from it.
or are we suppose to ignore him sending an autographed stock market printout he sent?

The gaslighting is people rewriting history.
Just a week ago many were mocked for implying we were on the same track as Italy and would have thousands of cases soon.
Everyone who has been concerned from the start has been validated at almost every turn. And the people in denial find a new way to mock people in more shameful ways.

Yes. That is exactly what I mean.

I stated, factually, that we did not know how this will play out and should not assume the worst. I stated that no, it has not killed millions of people and we didn’t know yet how bad it would be.
This statement was met with ridicule…that it was mocking the seriousness of this virus, that it I wasn’t taking it serious.
That was a complete misrepresentation of what I had said.
By panic, I consider projecting that the worst case of deaths of millions before it even happens to be panic, yes. We need to prepare to avoid the worst case but not assume it as if though it were true.

People have been saying over and over it’s about hospitals being overrun, and the danger to our parents and grandparents. But that is met with mocking and statistics that imply they don’t matter; if anyone is using mortality rates and statistics now it is people in denial.

Utter nonsense. Look at the actions, not tweets. Cutting off travel from China when your guy thought it was hysteria and xenophobia.
Just to be clear, many of your initial mocking and downplaying of this unfolding crisis is in this thread.

You can’t completely remove Trump from his Tweets. That’s too convenient.

Which has ultimately done NOTHING. It had a chance to allow us to prepare, but Trump is the little piggy in the straw hut.

He was on the old forums. He moved to Italy in like 2016 or something. Here’s a screenshot of him on the forum 2/25/2016:

His tweets generally stink. I thought and stated at the time that I was afraid they were going to cost him the election. No, I expect those to be used politically.
