Is it such a big deal, 2% of the Americans that die EVERY year. Worth putting 26 million out of a job and costing $2 trillion.

It was about mitigating the overloading of an already stressed and fractured health care system, and risking the lives of ALL frontline workers, also buying time for life, including for the younger generations.

Cannot contribute to (except funeral costs) or benefit from an economy if you are dead.

Eureka moment. You just solved the vaccine issue for corona virus. Jab all with influenza vaccine. You should be nominated for Noble Prize for medicine. ????

Vanity Fair has done a stunning study of how Trump has 'handled' (okay, I'm being generous today) the COVID-19 situation.

WOW......I'm now in 1967 and I'm sure that in 2020 the technology will be soooo great, people will be sooo smart, information sooo easily accessible, and the world will work together and solve anything.

 

or be complete morons and share nothing, produce junk, say nothing, and politics and money rule the world

 

or that

You can also mention, that the "clotting" issue experienced by many younger patients.

Strokes, organ impairment, and possibly longer term effects as yet not seen, as too early.  Further cost to the systems and the economy.
This is not just up and back to it , for many patients.

Why, when banning flights from Europe, did the President initially exempt UK and Ireland (London being just a short train ride from Paris and Brussels).

 

Because the Uk wasn't a hotspot at the time.

Opening up the economy....why did the President absolve himself fromall responsibility for closing down?  Does he actually have the authority to force States to open up?

 

I don't know, does he? According to lying liberals and the mentally incapable the only time Trump has authority is when you guys agree with what hes doing.

Democratic States in deficit?  What about Republican ones?  How would Kentucky (MItch McConnell's state) fare without year on year federal transfers from other States?

 

And now we get to where liberals dont understand how local, state, and federal taxes, laws and money works. Federal law requires all states to operate in a certain way and with certain standards and some states can not make enough money to meet those guidelines - therefore the fed provides funds. 

 

The states that are hardest hit by covid are Democrat run states that DO make enough money to implement basic federal law and then they go PAST that federal law and implement statewide local laws and regulations on their own.

 

They overspend and flaunt federal law and now that covid is here those same states are going to use the virus as a way to get out of bankruptcy and absolve themselves of massive, longstanding debt - and that's wrong. Any way you cut it. 

 

I know facts and context are hard for liberals. I also know they *HATE* bailouts (unless its statewide democratic failure, then its cool) but this is how the country works.

Another one that can't read. Cuomo is the governor of NY and the imbecile De Blasio is the Mayor of NYC. The dems were downplaying the virus even more than Trump was, that's a fact. <SNIP>

Vaiid case to make de Blasio was unfortunately following trump's lead until he woke up, same with Cuomo

 

De Blasio appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on March 10 and joined President Trump in casting the corona virus as similar to the flu.

Nice side step. Flu is not same as corona virus like you claimed. Ask your doctor.

There would be millions of deaths every year without the flu vaccine. Though there is ongoing research for a for a universal flu vaccine, currently requires an annual flu vaccine update.

How the heck do they get to a 73k death estimate when there's already at 61.7k and still killing 14k a week.

They (the feds) keep raising THEIR estimate... 50K, then 60K, then 60-70K.... Stay tuned.... This thing is far from anywhere near being over in terms of the death toll.

 

And I believe, the estimate the feds have been giving out only covers a period up through August 1 or so.... and not anything that's going to happen after that point.

Nobody will force you to take a vaccination if/when one is found, or in the event that you become infected, nobody will force you to take any drugs to to treat COVID-19.

PNAS has a high reliability because of its access to many expert National Academy of Sciences members-editors. Why am I telling this when recalcitrants never believe in science. Never mind, just deny; it is much easier.

But pseudo science used to promote hydrochloride is believed in by the same who don't believe in real science. Mind boggling, until you look at the background.
