The Coronavirus, not the beer

[thethe]

While telling the rest of Americans to carry on as normal and it was something comparable to the flu.

So I can keep up, it's your belief that the POTUS was right to quell concerns so as not cause a panic, but Americans were supposed to read between the lines and not take POTUS as his word and cancel public events?

Does that about sum it up?

The ramp up was happening behind closed doors and evaluation on total exposure. Until facts are known then procedures cant be implemented.

The last thing that we needed was a panic.

[thethe]

Did they change in the last 3 hours? Because your fearless leader seems to believe they are pretty critical.

Over preparing on purpose now.

[thethe]

False hope

[sturg33]

Me thinks we will have quite a lot of ventilator inventory

[thethe]

Where is the media talking about how China is taking the lead in the help. Where is the CCPs messengers!?!?!?!

Christian pastor who thought COVID-19 is just ‘mass hysteria’ among the first from Virginia to die from virus

One of the first deaths of a Virginian from coronavirus was a 66-year-old Christian “musical evangelist” who fell ill while on a trip to New Orleans with his wife.

On March 13, Spradlin shared a misleading meme that compared coronavirus deaths to swine flu deaths and suggested the media is using the pandemic to hurt Trump. In the comments, Spradlin acknowledged that the outbreak is a “real issue,” but added that he believes “the media is pumping out fear and doing more harm than good”

I for one am really stoked the boys are back to set us all straight .

After spending the evening telling Sean Hannity that those greedy governors
—especially pushy female governors—didn’t really need the ventilators they were
desperately requesting, Donald Trump appears to have realized that literally
cutting off air to Americans is a bad look. So on Friday morning,
Trump did an all too typical 180 and took to Twitter to do what
he does best: Blame other people for his mistakes.
On Thursday evening, The New York Times explained how Trump completely
blew off an all-but-complete deal to have GM manufacture thousands of
desperately needed ventilators while refusing to invoke the Defense Production Act.

But on Friday, Trump demanded—demanded—that GM get right on

with making ventilators, apparently for free.

Only Trump addressed that demand to a Twitter account that wasn’t GM.

And he ordered them to use a factory that they sold months ago.



The confidence just oozes
sheeeesh

[goldfly]

see, all lives don't matter and all life isn't precious to these "pro life" people

it actually has a price tag between this and them saying we need to blood sacrifice our older people to the economy gods

After Considering $1 Billion Price Tag for Ventilators, White House Has Second Thoughts

A lot of people in positions of responsibility have put out messages minimizing the danger. Others have put out messages that contradict the science or cause confusion. They've all made a contribution to a higher fatality rate.

I am glad you other leftists are thrilled about this

[Metaphysicist]

It is odd that media continues to say there are massive shortages while Gov Cuomo says the opposite

"the opposite"

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...ong-as-30-days

Ventilators remain New York’s top need, Cuomo said. The state is scouring the nation to buy them and resorting to so-called splitting, so the devices could serve two patients at once, he said.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cuo...-trump-urgency

"Well, maybe you don’t need 30,000," Cuomo said, seemingly paraphrasing the president's remarks. "Well, look, I don’t have a crystal ball, everybody’s entitled to their own opinion. But I don’t operate here on opinion. I operate on facts and on data and on numbers and on projections."

He continued: "All the projections say you could have an apex needing 140,000 beds and about 40,000 ventilators ... And that’s what the data and the science says. I hope we don’t need 30,000 ventilators. I hope some natural weather change happens overnight and kills the virus globally... The numbers say you may need 30,000."

I guess it's pretty hard to figure out his position...

[Metaphysicist]

134 deaths in the last 24 hours in NY. thethe, you will need to revise your secret-untested-flu-death-since-December math*.

*hunch

[sturg33]

And just as I defend orange man for resisting the urge to take control of our industry... he invokes the DPA.

Ugh.

At least the media and leftists should be happy now as they've been complaining he hasn't done it yet.

[Metaphysicist]

I am indeed happy every time Trump takes some part of this seriously. I would greatly prefer all the hospitals in my city to not collapse under the combined weight of their caseload.

Change in death rate lags change in infection rate so no revision necessary.

I never made the statement that deaths aren't going to happen. If you can find where I said that I'll happily recant all my ramblings the past few pages.

[Metaphysicist]

Change in death rate???? I thought a large percentage of the population has been infected since 2019 and we just weren't counting the deaths????? Egads what could be happening now?????

I dont see any increase in coronavirus deaths. Just a bunch of old sick people dying.

No just the clear thousands of seed infections that you ignored as if it was only a few. You've been thoroughly debunked and now choose to have an absurd reply because you're embarassed you were bested by such a dimwit.

[sturg33]

For something that has been around since November... seems like 25k worldwide deaths is a relatively smallish number. Seems the bigger issue is the all at once strain on the system
