President Trump Admits He Lied To Americans About COVID-19

[Methais]

Wow. Only you could take an example of Obama pushing through legislation that gave about 15 million people health insurance coverage, ended lifetime caps (which literally saved lives), ended pre-existing condition surcharges, and made preventive health checks free, and turn it into some equivalent to Trump intentionally lying about the severity of a pandemic and encouraging people to do things that put them- and their communities- at risk while actively attacking people who were encouraging people to take steps to keep themselves safe.

PS I'd love to see some nonpartisan evidence that we lost 200,000 people to doctor changes.

You know what they say- an apple a day keeps that new doctor that .01% of people had to get- after they got beefed up insurance that provided them with far more coverage- from killing you.

Do you even read your stuff before you post it? Or do you just copy and paste from QAnon talking points and feel really good about it?

Shut up Andraste. You're an even worse GM than Emeradan.

Trump "saving millions" came from Fauci, not from anyone here.

Let's not let that get in the way of your butthurt though.

I wonder how many of those 200k deaths were from drug overdoses, motorcycle accidents, etc. though...

To be clear, Fortybox said 2 million people were saved from a virus that could only kill 0.02 percent of us.

I don't know what Fauci said or didn't say. If he said millions of people have been saved by the changes we have made, I can see that being true. If COVID-19 had continued to spread unmitigated in February and March, we might have a body count in the millions now.

The point I was making is that those two statements are mutually exclusive, which is why I was laughing at Fortybox's idiocy.

[Fortybox]

I love how dumb some people are.

On the one hand, COVID-19 would only kill 0.02% of us.

On the other hand, President Trump has personally save MILLIONS of lives.

America has roughly 330 million residents. 0.02% of us is 66,000.

Almost 200,000 people have already died from COVID-19.

So not only is that original 0.02 percent statistic wrong based on what has happened so far, but it would have to be 300x greater than it is for COVID to have the potential to have killed 2.2 million people (the 200k that have actually died + the 2 million that Trump has personally saved, according the the idiots among us).

It's just a smorgasbord of stupidity that never fails to entertain me.

If there is one thing we can all agree on its that public schools have failed us. We need education reform and we need it badly.

The sarcasm obviously went over your head. You must be awesome to be at parties with.

200K died so far in a sea of 330MM. My bad bruh, 0.06% or in other words, 99.94% will live. Someone send a memo to the Prez to shut down the economy again and lock us in our homes.

[Keller]

The old "I was just kidding!" response to being an idiot. lol!

Do we need to go through the same math with your revised 0.06%? Do we need to address that 330 million Americans have not been infected?

There haven't been 330m infections, bruh, just 6.4m. Want to re-evaluate your math?

The US population is approximately 330 million is what he's getting at.

200k (so called COVID) deaths out of 330m people = 0.06% of the population is what he's saying.

Comparing deaths to total population is a retarded way of calculating how deadly the virus is.

Do you guys really need me to take you back to second grade long division?

[Fortybox]

As we learn more about this virus, more people are asymptomatic. The testing is not fully representative.

And since Keller is a tard and doesn't know how to hit reply to someone's post (while calling people stupid), by the time this is done, a good portion of the population will have been exposed to this.

I get what you are trying to assert here. The left wants the numerator as high as possible and the denominator as low as possible in the equation. It's a great political strategy but has no bearing to what is actually going on out there. Sorry you are fooled by it.

Trump should resign today

Trump did not resign at his press conference today. I thought he would take my advice for sure.

Which is very bad. Objectively, mortality in the United States has been worse than in most similarly wealthy countries. Mortality is deaths from covid divided by population. Vox recently ran the numbers to see how many fewer Americans would have died if our mortality rate were the same as the mortality rates of other countries. Here are the results..

So that got me wondering: What would a more comprehensive comparison look like? What would the US death toll be like if the country had the same rate of Covid-19 deaths as some other wealthy nations, accounting for population differences?

The results, based on Our World in Data, are staggering:

• If the US had the same death rate as the European Union overall, nearly 84,000 Americans wouldn’t have died from Covid-19 (out of the nearly 190,000 who have died so far).
• If the US had the same death rate as Canada, nearly 109,000 Americans wouldn’t have died from Covid-19.
• If the US had the same death rate as Germany, more than 152,000 Americans wouldn’t have died from Covid-19.
• If the US had the same death rate as Australia, more than 179,000 Americans wouldn’t have died from Covid-19.
• If the US had the same death rate as Japan, more than 185,000 Americans wouldn’t have died from Covid-19.

The United States has significantly underperformed the rest of the world in dealing with COVID.
