Yes, Trump has proven to all the world leaders that it's time to wake up and open the economies of the world.  There is absolutely no reason to keep everything locked down. 

My point exactly.  There are always going to be people who get sick, pass on a virus, catch a deadly strain because of hereditary risks, and comorbidities.  The population of the earth has always ebbed and flowed because of sickness, or wars, but in the end it still grows.  Even with as inherently dangerous as Covid is, if people would not be selfish and instead wear masks, social distance, not impose there own personal beliefs as to how they do not have to do what they want, and then treat others, as far as personal safety and protection goes, with respect, then maybe we could open the world up and stop destroying lives and economies.  However, there are to many who believe that this will lead to the real world becoming like the Walking Dead with zombie like folks everywhere.  I hate to tell you this people, but there are to many already in Government who are zombies, and who could only care about themselves as well.

It will break your bubble to read what the global presses describe Trump's handling of the pandemic. Here some of it - "Horror Show" "Laughing stock" "Disgraceful". Seem Trump proved to the world that democracy has its flaw electing an idiot.

How many more deaths does Trump need to be re-elected?

Yes, but probably not true, given the quantity of bleach which one must assume is now coursing through his veins. I note that the peculiar orange hue has gone, I wonder if he glows alarmingly if you look at him through an UV filter?

Well, given the poll results last time round, 3 million or so (Democrats) would be useful!

The elderly, 74 year old President of the United States contracted what we have been told over and over again is the "Killer-Virus" from Hell.  We have been continually assured by "experts" with ties to the pharmaceutical industries as well as by main-stream media and a class of neo-dictatorial politicians that if we are so unfortunate to contract Sars-Cov-2 that the ensuing Covid-19 infection will either kill us or debilitate us for years to come.

Then an over-weight, 74 year old who happens to be the President to the United States contracts the virus and walks out of the hospital three days later.
And there goes the killer-virus will get you all narrative.......

Well, darn!  Now, let's get our countries off of lock-downs and get the world economies functioning again.

They are already doing trials, according to what I saw on tv.

 

And did they finish the trial phase? Were results satisfactory for the go ahead? Not quite there yet. That's beside the point of trials not being conduct or decided according to the temporary results of one patient. Doubt you're not aware of all this.

'Proven' how? Because a person able to get the best medical care and treatment in the world (not available to the general public) was allowed to go 'home' (where he's got doctors on attendance and an attached medical facility, plus a chopper ready to take him back as needed) while pumped with drugs?

Right at the moment President Donald Trump is living proof that a normal, relatively healthy person, even one who is "elderly", is capable of fending off the Sars-Cov-2 flu virus which has a 99.96% overall survival rate.

End of story.

He has been pumped full of experimental drugs to keep him propped up for the election. At this rate, he either succumbed to Covid or the aggressive use of experimental steroids will potentially give him dangerous side effects. The story far from over by a long shot. The next development may not be pleasant for Trump’s supporters.

When it suits fans call him 'elderly', on other posts it's 'lion'. Maybe settle of a single narrative, eh?

 

Covid-19 was not described as 'killer virus from hell'. The mortality rate is not the issue so much as the rate of infection. That's been covered for months now, kinda hard to believe people still don't get it.

 

And yes, Trump 'happens to be the President of the United States' - which means he gets tested often, so infection can be detected and addressed in early stages. It also means he's got the best medical care and treatment, newest drugs and procedures. These aren't available to the general populace.

 

He was released from hospital but it wasn't made clear what his actual condition is, why he's not being subjected to quarantine as everyone else and what's the follow up treatment regime and prognosis. That Trump supporters celebrate this as clear cut 'proof' of anything is quite out there.

[Mavideol]

maybe some at the Rep party are start to see the truth

He's got access to frequent checks, best medical treatment, newest drugs - that's not how things are for most people.

 

Unless you're willing to take his word for it, then nothing was 'fended' off. He got pumped full of steroids and sent 'home' (where he's got round the clock medical care available).

 

You've no idea if he's 100% alright, whether he's out of the woods, or if there are side effects involved. You certainly can't extrapolate from one case involving a patient who happens to be POTUS to the rest of the world.

Trump is drugged up, but he didnt really leave the hospital per se. he left one and went to the whitehouse which also is set up like a hospital.

'President Being Treated With Drug That Experts Say Can Trigger ‘Manic Behavior’'

 

"President Trump is being treated for COVID-19 with a drug experts say can trigger “manic behavior.” Today, the Washington Post even called for Trump to cede temporary power to Vice President Mike Pence. Of special concern is the steroid dexamethasone, which the World Health Organization recommends only be given to patients with severe and critical cases of COVID-19."

 

Great, he might go from stupid and crazy to manic, stupid and crazy. Just the guy you want with the nuclear codes!

''A slap in the face': Families of COVID-19 victims slam president's downplaying of his diagnosis'

 

"Hours before he was released from a hospital stay for his coronavirus diagnosis Monday, President Trump tweeted his thoughts on the pandemic that's killed over 210,000 Americans, saying, "Don't be afraid."

But for scores of families who've lost loved ones to the disease, as well as first responders and other advocates, the response was far different. Many of them slammed the president's cavalier sentiment and warned that it could make the situation worse."

Yeah . . . those 210,000+ dead people didn't get anywhere near the same treatment, and the tangerine sack of sins isn't out of the woods yet. Counting chickens a little early.
