[QuantumMechanic]

Well thats beyond shocking. The state needs to get on that

The state is requiring the lack of instruction.

He’s panicking because

1. He didn’t think as President he might have to face a real national crisis and make hard decisions

2. Every expert is telling him to do one thing and his rich leeches are seeing there bank accounts go down a bit and they are miserable that they only have 400x the wealth of the average Americans as opposed to 500x. So as you can see he’s in a real tight place...

Idiot already had someone die for taking his medical advice. He’s going to get people killed so his friends stock portfolio can increase. And by increase, I mean not really increase at all because there’s a global ****ing pandemic

Somebody needs to tell Trump that the coronavirus is killing the age group that is more likely to vote for him: "Trump had an advantage among 50- to 64-year-old voters (51% to 45%) and those 65 and older (53% to 44%)." An examination of the 2016 electorate, based on validated voters

Once he realizes this, he will follow the medical experts' advice at lightning speed.

The Virus Can Be Stopped, but Only With Harsh Steps, Experts Say

If it were possible to wave a magic wand and make all Americans freeze in place for 14 days while sitting six feet apart, epidemiologists say, the whole epidemic would sputter to a halt.

The virus would die out on every contaminated surface and, because almost everyone shows symptoms within two weeks, it would be evident who was infected. If we had enough tests for every American, even the completely asymptomatic cases could be found and isolated.

Obviously, there is no magic wand, and no 300 million tests. But the goal of lockdowns and social distancing is to approximate such a total freeze.

To attempt that, experts said, travel and human interaction must be reduced to a minimum.

Italy moved incrementally: Officials slowly and reluctantly closed restaurants, churches and museums, and banned weddings and funerals. Nonetheless, the country’s death count continues to rise.

The United States is slowly following suit. International flights are all but banned, but not domestic ones. California has ordered all residents to stay at home; New York was to shutter all nonessential businesses on Sunday evening.

But other states have fewer restrictions, and in Florida, for days spring break revelers ignored government requests to clear the beaches.

When the president refers to a certain drug as a "miracle" cure despite the advisement of medical experts in his administration, and when someone who listened to Trump's "miracle" cure speech takes said drug and dies, yes, the president is (in part) responsible for that death and it's dishonest to suggest otherwise.

Meanwhile lupus patients who rely on this drug are finding it in short supply...

Have seen 12 presidents now, none of which blatantly have shown such a massive ego, continual bluster, disdain for science and utilized the office for personal gain as much as impeached 45 has..

Setting Easter as some imaginary goal posts is idiotic, hopefully that works out, but by all indicators probably not that soon.. College Graduations are already being cancelled.

by shutting down schools sure. But the districts should be putting plans in place for remote and online learning

I’ve spent the past week down in the suburbs and today there are a lot more people out and about than usual. How stupid are people in this country? Smdh

If someone listened to Trump's comments about hydroxycholoroquine (not to mention Dr. Fauci's) and the only thing they heard was "miracle" and they decided to self medicate, well, then now we can actually have a conversation about natural selection.

Trump didn't sound to confident this would end in a few weeks in terms of businesses closed when he disputed the report of 3-4 months. You could hear it in his voice.

It's going to get to a point that he'll have to make a tough decision and tell local governments to open businesses since people aren't cooperating. A few "Mom and Pop" shops/restaurants I frequent are getting ready to tell Landlords they are closing for good. It's sad.

Out here in CA, people are flat out refuse to listen. Many people are out driving somewhere or walking around in crowds. It's irritating.

Sorry dude but the writing is on the wall. There's no way you can spin the numbers that make up the curve on that graph. These are hard numbers.

I thought we would end up like Italy, but as of right now, it's going to be worse.

Happening here in MA too. Oh well, I guess we’ll have learned our lesson a month from now. My mother is saying “good we should get back to normal”. She is the best but another person who just listens to the President’s idiocy. And she has asthma, so not great.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

@Ice_Ice_Brady apparently has been iced for this thread. I haven't heard from him all day, yet he keeps clicking on emojis on my posts.

You realize thats what happens when you put someone on ignore.. right?

Lmao...TommyBoy12 with a classic line.

So it's the President's fault if someone took a pill that was meant for cleaning fish tanks? Really? You NEVER take a drug without medical supervision unless it's over the counter stuff.

Me, personally, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's Trump's fault.

However, as the POTUS and a man that has a fairly sizable group of supporters that appear to follow his advice religiously, he does bear responsibility in recognizing that the words he says have consequences. Unintended, sure, but this time the consequence was someone's death.

Yeah that guy is a f***ing moron. Apparently his wife is in the ICU as well for I don't know what. I listened to a reporter asking her questions, but my first question would've been "what the f*** was your husband thinking?"

Thank you for replying so kindly. I was massively portraying another poster who shall not be named.

My mom has lupus and it's a major concern of ours...

Got it now.. Yeah, I missed that. Whoops.

Telling people it’s okay and we can cut back on social distancing within two weeks is appalling because you know millions will follow what he says religiously and the consequences will be dire.
