RE: Coronavirus - GMDino - 03-10-2020 Meanwhile the racists have started to push their agenda because they are one trick ponies. And this will be HARD to believe but it happened under the watchful eyes of Tucker Carlson... https://www.newsweek.com/chinese-coronavirus-kevin-mccarthy-tucker-carlson-covid-twitter-1491383 Quote:Tens of thousands of people have expressed their outrage after Fox News and Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy both referred to COVID-19 as the "Chinese coronavirus." RE: Coronavirus - GMDino - 03-10-2020 If you missed the update from the admin yesterday: 1) Pence is in charge! Buy Trump leads all press conferences so he can tell us that everything is being done perfectly. 2) Every single thing done has been "at the direction of the President"...even when he is golfing and holding fake rallies at his private resort. 3) Yes both the POTUS and the VP have been exposed to someone who tested positive for the virus but no neither has been tested. Pence is praying it away and Trump figures all the meds for the STDS will protect him. 4) We need to bailout the hotels...which the POTUS is invested in. 5) There will be 1,000,000 test kits available VERY soon...but only 75,000 according to the CDC.

Do you really think calling it "chinese coronavirus" is racist?

There is also a few extreme sites calling it the "yellow virus". Just because he can doesn't mean he should. There's not a good reason for it at all. By this point everyone knows what "coronavirus" means and there is zero need to call it that. Naturally the defenders are yelling "Spanish Flu"!!!11!11! as a good reason for this to happen. And, naturally, it is because they don't understand history. RE: Coronavirus - michaelsean - 03-10-2020 (03-09-2020, 09:49 PM)Yojimbo Wrote: Whoops. SUMBITCH! Eff you, Trump. RE: Coronavirus - Belsnickel - 03-10-2020 (03-10-2020, 08:19 AM)Au165 Wrote: I'm actually going to side with Trump on this, kind of. The mortality rate of this thing is being far overblown because of confirmation bias in how we have tested, even in the limited testing we have done. We generally have only tested the very sick and it would logically make sense that those who are very sick have a higher chance of death than those who show absolutely no symptoms at all. I was reading yesterday that outside of Italy, who apparently their are some questions about how they are testing, other countries that are testing at a much higher rate are showing far lower mortality rates (below 2%) because the sampling better reflects the high rate of carriers who show little to no symptoms from the disease. I'm actually with you on most of this. The biggest concern for this virus is what it typically is: immunocompromised folks. Standard virus precautions will do for the majority of people is just fine. But, because of the spread, it being something new, etc., it is still good to be cautious overall. The administration response has definitely been a cluster ****, though, with conflicting and misleading information. It makes me concerned about an outbreak of a more serious nature under this presidency. Edit: I would like to add that according to WHO, COVID-19 is less deadly that SARS was, but is more infectious. As to the counter, that is also a result of information access. There was a running death count on the WHO website with regular updates, but information is shared more easily than a decade ago and so they have much more detailed and regular updates.

I was agreeing with a few things during the presser yesterday. In general terms. I mean paid time off, taking care of workers, covering the medical costs of the test. Very progressive. Given the backstory that all DJT really cares about is how HE looks and how it affects his re-election you just have to wade through the BS and lies and hope there are some good messages in there. On the spectrum between "licking public handrails" and "bubble boy" I think this coronavirus is somewhere closer to the handrails off of center. But it is also to grasp history in realtime. So it will be after this passes...and we are on to the next version...before we know how bad it was. Unless it gets REALLY bad. RE: Coronavirus - GMDino - 03-10-2020 Well...

I would equate it to when Fox News used to refer to Obama as "Barack HussEIN Obama." Is it correct to call him that? Yea. Is that why they're doing it? No. RE: Coronavirus - michaelsean - 03-10-2020 With the payroll tax cut I should be able to buy the black market toilet paper.

FTFY RE: Coronavirus - jj22 - 03-10-2020 This is when Trump could have used some built up credibility to calm the nations nerves. RE: Coronavirus - Au165 - 03-11-2020 Interesting note I heard this morning, of the 32 U.S. deaths so far 19 have come from the same retirement home in Washington. RE: Coronavirus - GMDino - 03-11-2020 What happens when you elect a man who thinks he knows more than everyone about everything, who doesn't like to read, can't listen to anything that opposes his "hunches", that thinks he is a successful businessman because he was given a business and despite running it and several others into the ground keeps getting propped up by outsiders? You get a president that thinks the Coronavirus problem can best be handled by putting people in charge that all say he's doing a great job while lying about how they are handling everything and with economic tricks.
