I don't hate his supporters at all. I hate Trump. I also hate how ready people are to hate the supporters of other candidates. Let's not pretend that Joe Biden is anywhere near the best America can do.

[newnative]

  Anybody seen video of his visit to the CDC?  Every utterance was a lie--starting with his claim that testing kits were readily available to everyone.  Poor Pence having to walk behind this elephant and shovel up his sh*t lies.

Sounds like King Canute talking about the tide.

He also mumbled a lot about American scientists having a vaccine ready in a couple of months and that American doctors were the best in the world. So great in fact that they are sent all over the world to help. Maybe thats why the virus is spreading in USA. No doctors left

Don’t Panic: The comprehensive Ars Technica guide to the coronavirus

 

Seems we read the article differently because the opinions provided state the opposite;

When will all of this be over in the US?

No one knows. Such epidemics are extremely unpredictable, but experts expect that COVID-19 will be with us for at least the coming weeks and months.

Will SARS-CoV-2 die down in the summer?

So far, we have no evidence that SARS-CoV-2 will be stifled by warming temperatures, WHO epidemiologist Maria Van Kerkhove says.

It’s unclear exactly why influenza and other respiratory viruses tend to peak in colder months. Some evidence suggests that the lower temperatures and lower humidity may help viruses spread. But we don't know if that's true for this coronavirus.

Will it become a seasonal infection?

This is also unknown, but some epidemiologists—including Harvard’s Marc Lipsitch—suggest that SARS-CoV-2 could be with us indefinitely and that we will eventually see it return in seasonal waves.

 

The problem with Mr Trump is that he is not listening to his public health officials. At today's briefing  Both Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx recommended a change in behavior of  not traveling, social distancing etc.  being careful with at risk  people etc. and Dr. Fauci warned there it was going to get worse before it got better warning that reported cases would significantly increase.

 

Trump is in denial and his strategy of dismissing facts won't work.

Republican governors are saying the opposite of Trump and as soon as people start getting sick in the families of those claiming this is a bs plot to undermine Trump, it will sink in.  

Wait till it hits rural America where ICUs are few and far between.

It's hard to separate the two.  If not for his supporters, Trump wouldn't be so brazen in his dishonesty, corruption, and vulgarity.  His supporters basically encourage him, so gotta hate them both. 

[Enoon]

 

True it will likely only kill a relatively small %.

 

However what Trump is saying to the American people is:

 

"Hey, everybody dies eventually, get over it"

 

It will be interesting to see how that plays.

What you have to do is come up with something better that lifts all Americans. The last progressive president in America was Richard Nixon. You people fight more over style than substance. While that's less true in the Trump presidency it has been absolutely true since Bill Clinton was elected.

Yeah, I see that with the vicious and unprovoked physical attacks by your type on innocent Americans who happen to support our country and President, that have been continually ignored by the press. Guys like you are the reason that I will go back to packing when I wear my MAGA cap. Sick. The fact that you folks are consumed with hate is sick, sad and pathetic.

It shows that the democrats aren't that strong if they need a major world crisis to have any hope... 

I can't argue with that in spite of Trump's own words, own policies, own actions far too many show support for:

"It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away," Trump said after a meeting on Capitol Hill with Republican lawmakers. "We want to protect our shipping industry, our cruise industry, cruise ships. We want to protect our airlines industry." Yes, of course, not the citizens ... oh, I forgot, "Citizens United" court decision made them all corporate "citizens".

what good does lowering the payroll tax do?

Well, it does add an additional $1.75 trillion to the deficit, making for an almost $3 trillion dollar annual deficit. Oh, and it destroys Social Security and Medicare. All because Trump wants to juice the stock markets again.

Maybe with Pence in charge of eliminating this plague, we will all be saved.

 

Then again, as my salty Aunt Nell used to say, "Pray in one hand and **** in the other and see which fills up first".

Good to know that China and Iran are fear mongering "left"

I was under the obviously mistaken impression they were authoritarian right conservatives

 

Of course the virus will eventually run its course, possibly kiling many of its hosts, but do let logic get in the way of a chance to have a bilious rant

[mtls2005]

Well, he does have a "natural ability", or so he tells us.

 

Oh, and his uncle taught at MIT, so there's that.

Or doctors that the average citizen can afford to go to if they have a cough.
There is genuine reasons why the US is highly vulnerable to this virus. Lack of medical care and lack of social security for a large percent of the population for a start. All other western countries have medical availability at free or affordable rates to those who are most vulnerable and support for people at risk. The US fails miserably in these areas.

When trump decided to claim our President was not born in America. That sort of blatant racism I knew had some support. That is when HATE is justified. People that support his racism have zero responsibility in making a great America. I learned as a child that being silent was the same a being compliant. Sad you see Biden lacking and not seethat he is courageous to take the Presidency back to being the best. Shame on you. My opinion comment on your comment.

Oh, horse<deleted>! I'll vote for Biden if he's on the ballot, but let's not pretend  he's taking the presidency back to being the best. I could almost buy that if he changed everything about himsef that caused him to make the political choices he has thusfar. And I like old Joe. His political opponents will be less kind.
