Back this claim up with facts.

Fact: Tim Pool is a former Bernie supporter who now makes his living spinning yarn for gullible MAGAe.

Fact: There is nothing in Pool’s record to suggest any sort of expertise, qualifications, or that he’s a relevant authority on, well, anything. He’s a literally a guy with a YT channel.

I am already working snowflake.

Spreading falsehood and misinformation is not working, Tucker. Please help out on the war against the Trump Virus and volunteer to stick swabs up people's nostrils without PPEs.

So why is Fauci dragging his feet when we have a set of drugs to cure people and flatten the curve?
How is it that Trump is more aware of the medical situation than Fauci.



He calls reports of Effective treatment as "Anecdotal" He wants to do extensive testing prior to introducing a treatment. Perhaps he missed these peer reviewed papers and recommended protocol.
He is 79 time for him to retire?

So whether it ss more or less fatal than any other flu strain, at risk people are dying and others are ill, economy is being damaged along with millions of people. Do we really need months of duplicate studies by the CDC before moving forward. Government bureaucracy is a real problem. Get the drugs to the front lines, observe the results, make adjustments and do studies by CDC in parallel with this. You know walk and chew gum at the same time.

It's a battle between knowledge (science) and ignorance, both on this board and with Trumpism in general. What's notable is how persistent they are in the face of facts and trends, to the point of fabricating alternative facts. Can Ian find out if they're actually Russian bots?

Are YOU a bot nubie?

 

[venecol]

President says everyone is working together, so he sends out tweets like this one:

 

[catent]

I am already working snowflake.

Lol, "snowflake". There was nothing ... ZERO, in venecol's post that indicated he was offended or sensitive about anything.

Nothing like an irrelevant and unnecessary "snowflake" to really oWn teH liBZ.

In fact, it was projection: "I am offended that you dare question my analysis of the danger of the pandemic and suggest I work on the frontlines, so I'll accuse you of being the one who's actually offended and sensitive".

Trump is not more aware of the medical situation than Fauci. That might be the most asinine thing I’ve read in this thread yet. Yikes, it’s a little concerning the things you believe.

As i went for a drive today...driving past Christmas Tree Shops...Ocean State Job lot ect.

The lots were pretty full.

People just don't get it. It's sad people don't get it and is going to cost lives and the economy. Our Country refuses to go into lockdown. Leaving it up to the local Govs.

Sad times and a sad country we live in where we could have acted.

 

[venecol]

Pence says that's why the President made FEMA the lead on this. Don't these guys know that FEMA was created to take the lead in these situations? They just realized in the last week, gee why don't we ask FEMA to help out? FEMA should have been taking the lead since January 30th.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

LOL... "Orange man NOT bad"?

"Romney's in isolation? Gee, that's too bad."

I'm not the damn POTUS, even I can see I have a duty not to wish this stuff on people.

You can’t be a real person

The US is now 17 days after its 100th case. And it now has more cases than any other country has had 17 days after its 100th case. Even more than China or Italy.

And yes, the US has more people than many of the other countries. However, the US also has the steepest graph of all of them, which is not good.

 

[JetFan79]

Not a bad way to spend a couple minutes and relax while stuck inside...

 

[Bobsyouruncle]

So let's decide what you're basing that on

I’m basing it on facts. Those are two sentences that are facts.

you're deciding who gets one.

I’m not deciding anything, I’m telling you this is not the worst crisis in US history because the Spanish Flu was far worse killing hundreds of thousands of people who were perfectly healthy and would have lived for years. And it did so during a world war.

if there is 1 ventilator, and there is a 60 year old and a 20 year old, all else being equal, put the 20 year old on a vent and let the 60 year old die?

You follow the guidance of the Mayo Clinic and tell the 20 year old to go home and quarantine themselves and:

Currently, no antiviral medication is recommended to treat COVID-19. Treatment is directed at relieving symptoms and may include:

• Pain relievers (ibuprofen or acetaminophen)
• Cough syrup or medication
• Rest
• Fluid intake

• Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) - Diagnosis and treatment - Mayo Clinic

Your "it's just old people" rap is really getting on my last nerve

Your emotional state has nothing to do with whether this is the biggest crisis in American history. Obviously a disease that kills heathy people is worse than one that only kills people with an average age of 81. It’s also far more devastating to a country to lose people who are working and running the economy with things like food, and medical care. That’s true even if you don’t like it.

Maybe take the advice of the Mayo Clinic:

Here are some tips that can help you cope with stress during the COVID-19 outbreak:

• Avoid watching or reading news about COVID-19that makes you feel anxious.

So I guess, don’t read your own posts.

Fauci is like a god amongst people in the medical community and is like a legend in this field of science. If anybody honestly thinks Trump has more of an understanding of the situation then him, they quite literally should staple their mouths shut.

 

[maust]

I started the video, just for ****s and giggles Donald Trump’s policies will be vindicated in the wake of the Coronavirus. I agree. But I’ll go one step further: Donald Trump’s policies have already been vindicated.”

This isn’t journalism, this is low-rent Trumpist fanfic. It’s unfortunate you can’t tell the difference.

So did I but it opened with "According to the New York Post..." and from there I was just,

 

[Bobsyouruncle]

The problem is you still can pass it on to anyone who is old or immunocompromised.

Obviously, but the Spanish flu could be passed on to. So what exactly are you trying to contradict? If you’re trying to prove to me this is a bad virus or that it will kill people- well I never said it wasn’t.

25% of the population probably will get this, it’s too late to stop it now. At best all we can do is slow it down. But like I said, it still won’t be the worst crisis in US history because a worse virus already came through in US history.

 

[Observer]

The sad part is that I would not be surprised in the least if it actually happened.

 

[fightingirish595]

Yeah I definitely don’t agree that Trump should be listened to over fauci.
