Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

That’s what he gets for listening to our grand “experts” Fauci and Birx huh?

Like Larry Hogan did? Maryland’s positivity rate is nearly half what the national rate is.

So, yeah, that would have been preferable to sitting on his ass obstructing the ability of private and local labs to develop their own tests when those two were advocating for robust testing and contact tracing in February.

Wooooooowwwwwww !!!

A Trump fan calling for a discussion without hyperbole????

Trump's ENTIRE existence, everything he is, is about hyperbole.

So is yours, Hillary. You and him have something in common. You think I'm a "Trump fan" because you and your ilk make up so much stupid **** that I have no choice but to call you out.

Only if negative cases stopped being reported or began being reported at a lower rate. Otherwise, the relative values of the numbers would remain the same.

Do you have evidence that negative cases stopped being reported or began being reported at a lower rate? When?

There are literally thousands of unreported negative tests daily. Most hospitals are only reporting positive results and on top of that not all testing areas aren’t even public Or using the same testers

 

[Rickyvol77]

That show a reduction in reporting of negative results relative to positive results? I haven’t seen any.

Anyone who comes to ED as homeless or going to a SNIF and any person who comes for a procedure or surgery of any kind is getting tested. Patients in hospitals inpatient are almost all getting tested multiple times. And there are several healthcare and private places doing testing in tents and only positive are being reported to the state (and thus the feds)

Maybe the anti-maskers will start washing their hands too. After all, the sign in the restroom saying "please wash your hands" just never really rose to the level of personal liberty infringement, IMO

When you want to have an adult conversation and not live in hyperbole, let us know then we can have a conversation

When I want to have an adult conversation I won’t for looking for people who think the leader of a country with 23% of the world’s covid deaths and < 5% of the world‘s population has done a good job. Talk about partisanship.

 

[Rickyvol77]

I disagree. Every other industrialized country has more or less overcome China’s contribution to the pandemic.

Trump is the variable that explains America’s failure to keep up with the rest of the world. He owns it. Trump Virus is accurate.

Definitely has nothing to do with population size, Underlying healthcare Issues from the population, false positive tests combined with numbers that aren’t exactly accurate and no real control of data

I am when you use a commonly misunderstood term with intent to strike fear. That is all the use of that word does now. And not easily flustered, I usually don't take a stance on your other ********.

If other people don't know the meaning of a word, that is not my fault. And how do you know that my intent was anything other than to use a common and appropriate description of the Coronavirus? You are projecting.

You're assuming China, Iraq, India, etc are all being honest.

When talking about the flu, what do you call it? When talking about the common cold, what do you call it? When talking about the Swine flu, Bird flu, SARS, etc. what do/did you call it?

The Swine Flu was often referred to as the "H1N1 pandemic". If you Google "H1N1 pandemic" you will see many links to articles which described it that way. Again, you are being hyper-sensitive over semantics and projecting your own thoughts and understandings/misunderstandings, onto others.

Which started in May.

I find it really funny that the media and politicians didn't run around shutting everything down when Obama was president. More evidence that this was directed at Trump and trying to get him out of office

All of which should have been more than made up for by our inherent advantages such as hospital and government resources.

You guys act like America is some “**** hole” country.

It’s not. We shouldn’t be getting our ass kicked relative to the rest of the world when we supposedly had more time to prepare.

Which is why it’s Trump’s Virus.

 

[RockyTop85]

To the tune of a 19 point differential?

Really, that’s what you’re going with?

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Seems like the coronabros may be on to something.

Yup, you're all probably high fiving each other over the death numbers today

Straw men everywhere

Comparison of US deaths relative to world deaths in a conversation about the success of US response to deadly virus is a straw man?

Jesus, man. Have some dignity.

This is right-wing paranoia. Trump has politicized everyone and everything. Health care professionals aren't just giving their opinions in the best interest of the public's health and well-being anymore. They must be out to get Trump. He casts a political agenda onto everyone, including members of his own appointed task force.

Yes, except elective surgeries were cancelled for a month and a half and hospitals are now doing something completely different

Usually you are pretty rational even if we disagree politically but I can see you are simply trolling here. You aren’t this stupid

Straw men refers to your comment about about posters saying a Trump did a good job. I can disagree with things that both sides did and still know that you’re wrong

What “government resources“ would have prevented the spread of it?

You say that but you know its true. From day 1 the MSM has been blowing up the virus like an A Bomb. Like he's said he's been ridiculed for closing down border early which was a very good decision. Trump promoted a treatment that got laughed at when in reality it could've saved lives. Tell me where Obama had to deal with this during the H1N1 stuff.
