I stopped trying to have good faith arguments with people who clearly aren't some time ago, and it feels good.0 -
But what if the real world involves acid?mrussel1 said:
The president pretended it didn't exist. People paid with their lives, he paid with his legacy. Pointing so some random person who no one ever heard of is not a great argument. But none of your arguments are very good. Here you are, a year later when the rest of the world has dealt with the virus, to varied success, and you are pretending it doesn't exist. You seem to think it's March of 2020. Your points are useless and convince no one who lives in the real world.gvn2fly1421 said:
1. In April, no one understood the impact on COVID on young adults compared the population at large.mrussel1 said:
Hey how did these quotes from president pan out? Was is really just 15, soon to be zero?gvn2fly1421 said:This bit of panic porn was hawt last April... That picture though... HAWT!!! Anyone find the numbers on how it actually played out?Jan. 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” — Trump in a CNBC interview.
Jan. 30: “We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five — and those people are all recuperating successfully. But we’re working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it’s going to have a very good ending for us … that I can assure you.” — Trump in a speech in Michigan.
Feb. 10: “Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape though. We have 12 cases — 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now.” — Trump at the White House. (See our item “Will the New Coronavirus ‘Go Away’ in April?“)
Feb. 14: “There’s a theory that, in April, when it gets warm — historically, that has been able to kill the virus. So we don’t know yet; we’re not sure yet. But that’s around the corner.” — Trump in speaking to National Border Patrol Council members.
Feb. 23: “We have it very much under control in this country.” — Trump in speaking to reporters.
Feb. 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!” — Trump in a tweet.
Feb. 26: “So we’re at the low level. As they get better, we take them off the list, so that we’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.” — Trump at a White House briefing.
Feb. 26: “And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” — Trump at a press conference.
2. College campuses went virtual, mitigating much of the risk. Even so, infections went wild on campus. My son contracted COVID during his first two weeks on campus this fall, even with virtual classes. He had 7 suite mates and every one of them caught it, with fairly severe symptoms.
3. Who is the author here? Is she a epidemeolgist? Is she a physician? It does not appear so. Maybe you can post your brother in laws competing view, you know the one that works at the DMV. His opinion is probably just as valuable.

Not only did POOTWH have a different opinion but he knew the risks and severity and knowingly lied to the American people. Repeatedly. Criminally negligent. Imagine for a brief second if Obama or Hillary had been caught knowingly lying to the American public that resulted in 555,000 and counting American deaths.mrussel1 said:

Since you seem to think differently, why are you here, engaging in society? Why aren't you off living on a desert island alone?
