US has a shitload of cases

[xenon]

Larry - I’ve noticed your MO on debating as well:

Step 1 (optional): laugh incredulously (usually bwahaha)

Step 2: declare victory

Step 3: attack the other person

[Larry]

I only do that when the other person is being a nutjob.

88,000 Americans have died so far, @Larry, but I'm sure glad Trump "took action in December to deal with the virus". Maybe YOU have TDS...Trump Defense Syndrome.

[Larry]

89th, if that's really the best you can do at using your brain, I actually feel sorry for you.

[89th]

Ok, Karen.

[Larry]

How old are you, 12?

[89th]

Ok, boomer.

Nice little trend starting to show. Hopefully the slowing continues.

No kidding

He took that quote completely out of context

Why?

Was he trying to trick us into thinking Mr. Trump thinks tests cause covid? Nobody is that stupid, nobody.

I assume he was just joking.

Haha

No that’s stupid. Tests are not overrated. We’re nowhere near the top of the list on per capita testing. And our cases count is not inflated because of too much testing.

Testing is not the problem - as Trump seems to believe.

The amount of stupid people are letting slide with this guy is astounding.

Some tests are overrated. We're finding out the Abbott test is wrong maybe as much as 40% of the time.

Probably could have lowered the death rate, if we had declared martial law and shot anybody venturing out into the streets.

Then Trump would be a hero in your eyes?

Yep. This is the inherent risk of hurrying diagnostics and medicines. Which is not to say we should not have done it, but essentially you are testing the test in real time.

At least it's false negatives.

You're not as bad as @Larry, but why jump to the extreme? Sadly the bar is so low, all I would've preferred from our President is to have someone who didn't dismiss the seriousness of it as late as mid March.

[Larry]

You beat all ive ever seen. So well educated, yet so thick headed.

[89th]

Let me know when you're ready to stop making this political or personal, and want to discuss it objectively.

[Larry]

And you let me know when youre ready to base our conversation on real facts instead of the jaundiced nonsense you've bought into.

That’s a reasonable argument, but not the one Trump was making in the “overrated” remarks

We have tests that, two months ago, didn’t even exist. Our great companies came up with things — Abbott Laboratories and so many others. They came up with things that — Roche — they came up with things that nobody even believes. So we have the best testing in the world..

@Larry I have not deviated from discussing real facts. They just seem to trigger your TDS and you reply with "uh yeah but...DEMOCRATS! You have TDS! You have jaundice!"

Let's start with what I originally said:
Do you agree the death toll could have been smaller had the President put in place measures 2+ weeks sooner than they were?

Possible Answers:

• Yes, I like math
• No, maths is t3h sux0rs
• 1+1 = But, democrats!
• I'm calling the Jaundice TDS police
