US has a shitload of cases

@89th said in US has a shitload of cases:
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.
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?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

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 thatâs stupid. Tests are not overrated. Weâre 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.
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.

Thatâs a reasonable argument, but not the one Trump was making in the âoverratedâ remarks
We have tests that, two months ago, didnât even exist. Our great companies came up with things â Abbott Laboratories and so many others. They came up with things that â Roche â 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

And what's the fucking point of even asking what would happen if he had done it 2 weeks sooner? I'll tell you why - so you can take another stupid swipe at Trump. That's why you asked the question and you fucking know it. Then to top it off, when it's pointed out to you that the man took action TWO GODDAMN MONTHS before the date you picked, your brain clicks off and you stick to your incorrect set of "facts" just like every other run of the mill Trump basher. You don't have it in you to say "my bad, I didn't realize Trump took action months before my two week what if date". Nah, that would require you to have to face the reality that your entire premise is wrong.
That kind of shit pisses me off. If you want to bash Trump do it with something based in reality, not the bull shit you're trying to peddle.

I know what 89th - let's make it even more crazy. Let's ask what how many fewer people would have died if Trump had gone to China in 2018 and shot everyone dead in Wuhan.
It's Trumps fault that the virus got out because he could have stopped it in 2018 by killing everyone in China but he didn't, that sorry bastard!

Trump takes an action in January.
Brags about how the situation is nothing and solved all Feb and half of March.
Then in March asks for credit on doing something in Jan when itâs obvious that the thing he did in Jan wasnât anywhere close to enough.
Got it.

Thanks for showing us that 89th was wrong. Too bad you had to do it by dumping yet another pile of bull shit at the same time, but at least we now have one TDS sufferer on record proving another TDS sufferer has his head up his own ass. That's something, at least.

The blood of Corona virus deaths is on Trump's hands. Except that the virus doesn't cause open wounds so there is no blood, and that is exactly how he gets away with it. That, and the complicit right wing media, telling people to 'wash their hands', knowing full well that after doing so, the blood on the hands of Trump and his legion of followers will be washed away.

I wouldn't say that Corona virus deaths are on Trump's hands.
It's akin to a general leading an army to battle. If the general gives a good faith best-effort of using his resources well - even if he botches it, you don't typically say the general has blood on his hands.
Trump doesn't want people to die, but he's just bad at this. He's bad at calculating risks and navigating scientific decisions.

Like most self-made billionaires.
Iâm sure youâd subject yourself to the ineffable political calculations of any billionaire - no matter their political stripe.
(Also does it count as self made billionaire if we know he inherited at least 9 figures)
Also / scientific thinking isnât necessarily the path to riches unless youâre an engineer. Quite the opposite often.
