More proof that the US has the worst COVID response

DougBH · 2020-10-06T03:03:00.633Z

I don’t take my medical advice from politicians. I follow the advice of my doctor.
And school officials follow the advice of health officials and the CDC, or at least most do.

Blackwolf:

“Don’t be afraid of COVID.”

I wonder if 206,000 dead Americans and the loved ones they left behind are comforted by those words.

I am 72, overweight and diabetic. I am very cautious about COVID. If I were 15, 130 lbs and in the best of health acting differently might be very much in my interests.
For some reason, many have ignored that this is, unlike polio was, very much an old persons disease. Check out the graphs.
Has anyone done a comparison of how many have died in nursing homes and compared that percentage to the percentage of people who live in nursing homes compared to the general populace?

Some degeree of caution is sound. Not sure everybody locked down is.

I don’t think democrats want that either Doug. I think everyone wearing masks in public would be a good start. For some reason, we can’t even get that far. In my state with a mandate, we are barley breaking 60%. It’s ridiculous.

No sane person is taking medical advice from Trump. It doesn’t make his statement any less out of touch, irresponsible, or flat-out loony tunes.

Mr Wolf I think you understand. Even Wile E. Coyote understands.

The country defiantly has the most division with everything, I had to do a double take and see if this was actually the headline of a mainstream media outlet. It’s hard to see any future going ahead when half of the country literally hates the other half.

Actually you have summed it up right. Sweden is what we used to be. And, Trump is healthy much to the Chagrin of the new wave.

Guv Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio put the screws on NYC. We have a lot to fear because fear is the new norm for the rotting

JayJay:

I am a Republican, actually.

Which kind are you? The Mitch Romney or the Susan Collins variety?

Neither.

I’m a JayJay Republican.

Ah … gotcha. A Republican in name only.

JayJay:

Which of course is a sure fire recipe for failure…especially after it became politicized.

Viruses don’t recognize state borders, nor federalist jurisdictions.

One of the disadvantages of our Republic form of government. Our Federal Government does not have the authority to rule the States. Of course you as a Republican knew that, right?

Probably the same as the other 2.8 million Americans who died of something other than COVID.

Donald is elderly and obese. He’s also overwhelmingly privileged compared to your average American, receiving the finest care medical science can provide.

He’s not specific about who shouldn’t be afraid of COVID.

He was talking directly to you.

Bosun · 2020-10-06T07:14:53.155Z

An email message from The Donald. Thank you Mr. President:

I just left Walter Reed after receiving incredible care and I’m feeling really good! In fact, I feel better than I did 20 years ago.

I’m telling you: Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life! This is the greatest country in the world, and under the Trump Administration, we have developed some really great drugs and knowledge. WE WILL BEAT THIS, TOGETHER!

The love and support from Americans from all over the world has been incredible and is something I’ll never forget. When I saw many great Patriots outside of the hospital supporting me, I knew I had to drive by and thank them!

Now, I am fired up and ready to KEEP FIGHTING FOR YOU! This is the FINAL STRETCH of the Election and we can’t take any days off.

We have come a long way these past three and a half years, but we’re not done yet. We’re going to Make America Great Again, and WE ARE GOING TO WIN FOUR MORE YEARS.

Having a Covid hot zone in the White House does not dispel this OP.

Neither does the Trump administration going to court to try to strip away cover and pre-existing conditions in insurance policies in the middle of a pandemic.

I sure am glad Donald Trump was the President in 2020. The economy has suffered enough but I can only imagine how bad it’d be…how many more suicides…and suffering there’d be if he wasn’t? “We” should all be thankful. Let’s all hold hands and sing kumbaya around the campfire of love. Shall “we”?

coolidge · 2020-10-06T11:49:09.378Z

We all know libs love those kumbaya moments. But something tells me they would blame trump about their woes. TDS. how can one man be such a big problem for them?

Look at how ■■■■■■ up EU countries are after Chinese Wuhan Virus (COVID-19.) Sweden, however took the right approach.
