TRUMP THE HYPOCRITE

Hmmm... should one do as Trump says or do as Trump does. Yet another reason why Donald proves he's unfit to lead our country through this pandemic.

OVER THE WEEKEND:

"In conversations this weekend, Trump has expressed concern that aides contracting coronavirus would undercut his message that the outbreak is waning and states should begin reopening, according to a person who spoke to him.

Trump voiced frustration that two White House staffers tested positive for coronavirus and has asked why his valets weren't ordered to wear masks before this week, according to the person."

YET FRIDAY:

ALSO ON FRIDAY:

"President Donald Trump is increasingly dismissing the consensus of health experts, scientists and some of his Republican allies that widespread testing is key to the safe end of restrictions meant to slow the spread of the deadly coronavirus, saying Friday that “testing isn’t necessary” and is an imperfect guide.

YET THURSDAY:

"President Trump will be tested for coronavirus on a daily basis after a military member who serves as the president's valet tested positive.

"So, we test once a week. Now we're going to go testing once a day," Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with the governor of Texas on Thursday."

99.8% of people WITH the virus live. That makes the mortality the same as a somewhat bad flu season.

Oh really? What fat right-wing radio show host is spreading this lie for you and the other gullible drones to gobble up? Or perhaps those pesky decimal points have just confused you.

FRIDAY:

STUDY PUTS U.S. COVID-19 INFECTION FATALITY RATE AT 1.3%

"After modeling the available national data on cumulative deaths and detected COVID-19 cases in the United States, the IFR-S (Infection Fatality Rate – Symptomatic) from COVID-19 was estimated to be 1.3%," said the researchers, led by Anirban Basu, Stergachis Family endowed director and professor in the Department of Pharmacy, CHOICE Institute, University of Washington, Seattle.

"This estimated rate is substantially higher than the approximate IFR-S of seasonal influenza, which is about 0.1% (34,200 deaths among 35.5 million patients who got sick with influenza)."

Not to poop on your party, but you know that not all flu cases are counted and covid-19 may be fudged just a tad.

CDC: 80,000 people died of flu last winter in the U.S. - STAT

Why use symptomatic? They aren't using symptomatic for anything else. And are all 35.5 million flu counts symptomatic?

I especially like how you accuse me of being emotional and then subjectively lower the threshold for a different age class because that's how it "should" be.

It isnt subjective. A species becomes more vulnerable when the ones that are age bearing or their future reproduces start dying off.

The younger are more valuable.

Said no CEO ever . . .

Hey, Bob, you know what we need around here to get this merger done and that new plant up and running?

More millenials! Maybe you can get a few Gen Zs too?

It is absolutely subjective. What age does life become less valuable? When is your will to live less valuable that an infants? At what age does your knowledge and wisdom become less important than a strong back?

Just think of all the babies conceived under the lockdown, they'll be referred to as the COViDs.

Merger for what? The consumers that no longer exist because all the young people died?

The young are more valued. It is a stupid point to contest. People dont run into a burning house and rescue the 90 year old before they rescue the 9 year old.

Covid kills old people. Thus you had to have govt step in to close things. If it killed 10u like it killed the 80+, you wouldnt have needed govt to step in, people would have barricaded themselves willingly.

It is fairly simple to see.

If the young are so much more valuable to companies, then they must be much better compensated, huh?

Plus, the 90 year old you just let burn was the immunologist who was putting final touches on the vaccine that was going to save us all!!!

You should have tried to save both. Sad!

People did barricade themselves before the orders came down. If you wanted to reverse that you needed leadership. We just have partisans idiots on both sides and their enablers.

I see, show me the charts for their movements on this virus when it kills the 10u crowd. Oh that's right, you dont have them. Thus it would require some common sense to understand that picture. Oops.

So 90 year olds are better compensated than 50 year olds in your company I guess. Must be union.

But living in your fantasy land, I'll say the 9 year old was the future scientist that cured all cancer. Yay.

I'm pretty sure we all want the same thing as you, i.e. everyone safely back to work.

To get there we need a very solid game plan to mitigate the spread of the disease and a functioning government to help implement it. Lacking that, you may get half to three quarters of the way back but you will still have a severely under-performing economy.

The nine year old was the world's worst mass murderer. He did cure all cancer, because no one was left to contract it.

I can't believe you saved him. You are such a monster.

Aren't stupid hypotheticals fun? Please keep going.

I work at Berkshire Hathaway. 90 year olds are pretty well compensated.

Not a hypothetical. It is played out all the time. People invest in their youth, not their grandparents.

I'm betting Buffet chooses to save his grand daughter's life over himself if given the choice. Guess her bank account must be bigger.

Buffet paid for the grand kids' education, and let them know that was all they were getting. His kids are getting money that they can only spend on their specified charities.

It is an old fashioned notion called self-sufficiency.

You should check it out.
