Epidemiologists around the world state that tens of thousands of unnecessary US deaths occurred due to the mismanagement of the virus by the 45 administration. I won't bother posting any links for two reasons:

2. 45 supporters don't care about facts & truth.

Correct. 45 supporters ignore all logic when it comes to their fearful leader.

I quote scientists, you quote loons. Not opinions, science based facts. You know, the things 45 supporters deny, ignore, lie about, deflect or obfuscate.

Cornell study: 38 percent of COVID-19 misinformation fueled by Trump

A Cornell University study published Last week shows that President Donald Trump was the leading purveyor of misinformation during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The study analyzed 38 million articles published by traditional English-language news media from all over the world from Jan. 1 to May 26, 2020 using Cision Global Insights, and found 1.1 million instances of coronavirus misinformation. Of those 1.1 million articles, 37.9 percent included mentions of Trump in relation to misinformation, making him easily the leader, at least in the English-language media landscape.

45 recently tweeted to halt all Corona virus stimulus package discussions, then tweeted to walk this back.

 

Is it time for the 25th amendment NOW?!? He's raging on steroids and is displaying behavior even suspect for him. And with 7 of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in self-isolation because 45 exposed them to the virus, the nation is in a precipitous level of attack.

Either you have zero understanding, of how the US works (as a Federation/Union), and what the President's job is and isn't, or you're being facetious on purpose.

 

He can't win either way. Does he intervene, then he#s the Fascist interfering with the States and their elected legislature & governors. Does he do nothing, then it's "why didn't he stop the riots" and "He's responsible for all deaths".

 

Maybe it's a combination of both...

 

In addition to what other posters commented, there's this - it's not about the President's job, it's about the man himself.

 

A President can choose how he addresses opposition, disagreements, political rivals and the constraints of sometimes having to cooperate with them in order to get things done.

 

Trump's stance, from the get go was confrontational, antagonistic, denigrating. That's not so much about politics, as reflecting his personal style and character.

 

Maybe not the best way to handle a national crisis.

Dude, relax, I know you libs are all lathered up.  I agree that there are 200k Covid deaths, heading to 250k soon, I am questioning the Democrat assumption that they are personally caused by Donald Trump (Think Joe Biden Statement).  Who do you think caused the Covid deaths?

 

 

He is not personally responsible, but his inaction, incompetence's, lack of leadership, and sheer inability to lead and listen, and allow more competent decision makers assist, mentor, and consult  is responsible for more deaths than otherwise would have occurred.

 

  This has nothing to do with liberals, leftist's, rightwing, is has to do with wrong person, wrong role, and narcissism.

Yes, we should have no fear of covid-19.  After all, we can all expect the same world class medical treatment that Trump received! Right?

 

 

"Fewer than 10 compassionate-use requests have been granted for Regeneron’s experimental antibody cocktail, which the president took Friday, according to the company spokesperson Alexandra Bowie. The president was, presumably, one of those 10 people. “He would never have gotten access to the monoclonal antibodies if he weren’t the president,” says Rose McDermott, an international-relations professor at Brown University who has studied presidential illness."

 

And a lot more besides...

And the Trumpers are still questioning whether Trump was responsible for the disaster that Covid is in the US. The guy is barely out of hospital and he Tweets 'don't be afraid of Covid' (yeah, especially if you have access to the best doctors and experimental drugs) and Covid is 'less lethal' than the flu.

It's this demented nonsense that has been the tone ever since the outbreak was first reported 8 months ago. How any sane person could say any of this and get away with it is beyond me. But here we are and it's VERY obvious by the comments from his most sycophantic fans here on TVF that they absolutely believe him, regurgitating many of the same nonsense time and time again (I mean if I hear 'yeah, but did they all REALLY die of Covid' one more time I'm going to scream).

When Facebook and Twitter have to be your moderator then you know you are in trouble but that seems to be where we are with the actual President of The United States.

the virus was doing OK until it met Trump, correct?  

[spidermike007]

Whether or not you are afraid of Covid is a personal choice. Personally, I am not. However, what people should really be afraid of is an infected person, who continues to behave like a fool. That makes him a dangerous man, which I have always considered him to be. Reckless and way too self important to take basic precautions. He has humiliated himself to no end, by denying the effects of the virus for months, then getting infected, and becoming a super spreader within the White House. 

 

No worries. He is gone, baby gone in a few months. Enough of his chaos and stupidity.

The COVID-19 superspreader in the Rose Garden that burst the White House bubble

Our View: Amid coronavirus, maskless Supreme Court nomination ceremony turned into a form of biological attack on the top echelons of U.S. government.

 

THE EDITORIAL BOARD |  USA TODAY

10 hours ago

 

When the history of America's failing response to the novel coronavirus is written, a chapter will certainly focus on the Rose Garden images of Sept. 26 at the White House.

 

There, amid a presidential celebration of a rushed nomination to the Supreme Court, America's leaders behaved as if over 200,000 American deaths from COVID-19 as of that day never happened. Air kisses and bear hugs flowed freely among the couple of hundred attendees, and a smaller group later inside the White House, with little evidence of mask wearing and none of social distancing.

President Trump is absolutely right in telling us to not be afraid.  The virus has a high transmissibility rate but a low mortality rate.

Especially if you have immediate admission hospital, best doctors, chopper transportation, clearance for experimental drugs and at no cost except to taxpayers. This treatment would not have been available to any other person, not in the WH. Preferential treatment.

The actual mortality rate won't be worked out for some time, probably years.  However Covid 19 has a mortality rate many times that of the flu.  It also causes long term problems for some, the exact number also won't be worked out for some time.

 

Bottom line:  Don't live in fear but respect the virus and take reasonable precautions to avoid it.  Wearing a mask and social distancing are reasonable precautions.

Covid 19 coronavirus: No, it is not like the flu..... 

Mere hours after defiantly advising Americans not to fear the coronavirus or let it "dominate your life," President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday morning with misleading comparisons of Covid-19 to the flu. 

 

But his comparisons of Covid-19 and the flu stand in sharp contrast to months of data gathered by experts, who have repeatedly said that the coronavirus poses a far more serious threat than influenza viruses. 

 

Twitter appended a note to Trump's tweet, saying that it violated the company's rules about spreading false and misleading information about the virus and Facebook removed a similar post from Trump, saying that the company removes incorrect information about the coronavirus.
