Donald Trump and the coronavirus

Wait a minute!!!.Now it's "anecdotal" ???What happened to your assertion that what you were saying is "fact"??

Mega backdown..lolol. You obviously took my advice and googled.
@obladie

Show me a quote from me where I said it was fact. I qualified the word "success" with the word "apparent" in the first post, if that's what you're talking about. In the other post I said Dr. Stephen Smith "says" he's having great success.

No back down at all. I'm beginning to wonder if you understand how the English language works.
Nah...you have had to resort to personal insults against me..sad , but entirely predictable. I win.
The lies, the income tax, the prostitution, tax breaks for the super wealthy, suspect cronies- some of whom are jailed, etc., etc. etc. You cannot talk to people that support this.
I'm glad somebody has been maintaining their antagonism to the stupid non-arguments the Trump bots were making. People who support Trump even right now during a global pandemic whose response was botched and utterly insufficient are just being sycophant. It's hard to blame them though because you know they either get their information exclusively from Fox News or the right wing grifters on Youtube. Always pay close attention to their arguments because they are often only a couple question from falling apart and contradicting themselves.
@Kusokosla You posted an NBC article but it didn't lead anywhere so I had to search it. This article was on Feb 25, we didn't confirm out first case until January 21. She was commenting on the way people were staying away from the businesses in San Francisco's Chinatown based on the reasoning that Chinese people somehow had the virus. It's the same argument you would make if people were expressing concern over receiving packages from China. It's not the problem. She was commenting on that phenomenon, not downplaying the virus during a critical window where other countries like South Korea who confirmed their first case on the same day as the United States. SK managed to keep their deaths at 200 as of right now with 10k cases. We will probably hit 500k cases by the end of the week and are sitting at 14.2k dead. Why are we doing so bad at containing this thing?

Let me say one more thing because it's really important. Saying this Dem said that, this other Dem said this is not an argument. I don't stand for the Democratic Party. I'm an individual. Politics isn't a sports game between two teams despite the fact that it is so often treated like a tribal bloodbath. The two-party first-past-the-post- voting system we have is terrible, we all agree. Democrats and Republicans just happen to be our only options in terms of electorally affecting change until we get a better system.
