Not at all. You are comparing Trumps response in February to the NYC responses as of a few weeks ago. Big difference

It has been about a month since NYC was on lockdown, but many people were taking precautions before that.

Here is an article from March 12th saying declines of more than 1 million people daily on the subways.

Wow! Down 18.5% That’s not even a partial lockdown. It’s a half-ass lockdown. You just proved my point. 4.39 million daily riders of the subway on March 12th!

Mic drop!

That is a significant decrease. You are acting as if NYC just started doing things, when it reality it has been over a month. ANd of course Trump didnt lock it down either, but for some reason you are ok with that. Again, you are all over the place.

Once again Cuomo said that it was illegal

I said there are valid criticisms of Cuoma and DeBlasio, but Trump most certainly could have done something if he wanted. FOr being such a big Trump guy you sure have low expecations of him.

Read the article. Honestly, he said it was illegal and your argument is getting very weak

Now Trump has to fight Cuomo to save lives in NYC. How lame is that?

Cuomo isnt a judge, you realize that right? My argument isnt weak at all. You want to blame everyone but the president during a pandemic that is occurring all over the country. If a president has no responsibility in this type of situation, then what is the purpose of having a president to begin with?

BTW, this is also from your article "Federal law gives the Secretary of Health and Human Services the authority to take measures to prevent the entry and spread of infectious diseases from foreign countries and between states, according to the Centers for Disease Control."

So yes, Trump did have some authority to take more action.

Let's look back to the idiots who downplayed the actions that we need to take. Their acceptance of our half assed response has allowed politicians the cover they need to not close beaches and wait too long to take action on countless other things. If the country was united in demanding extreme action we would look more like South Korea and less like Italy.

Here are the chuds:

Look. Trump didn’t need to get in a legal battle with Cuomo over this at this time. Cuomo sucks! As far as the president, he has responsibilities too. However, people are blaming him only and that total BS. Worldwide Pandemics don’t start and spread because of a US president

Italy?? WTF? So was China. :chairshot:

And how many USA cases and deaths were on February 21st dummy?
American chuds didn't know it was serious thanks to Trump worship for many weeks after that. We could have been preparing and educating our population but we Trump pretended this was nothing. We wasted all of February and got caught without tests and with an uneducated population. 100k could have been 20k.
 
Added it like yesterday... we pass 40k deaths tomorrow, thats the average anual for the flu, so it looks like corona only took 1 month to prove you were all dipshits.
Looks like 2 people didn’t care enough to be singled out and be called an idiot. The one person agreed with you and it probably was you. That’s the ultimate Rodney Dangerfield
of polls. An instant classic

Ha! I’m not a dipshit, because it’s worse than the flu

Democrats were too preoccupied with impeachment. So was the rest of the nation

Yeah.., and this is 100% on any president
Another president and this was over weeks ago. I have some beachfront property in Kansas we can talk about
 
In March Fauci was telling young people to go ahead and take cruises, and that virus was small risk to USA. but I guess Trump was supposed to know more than he did. China lied and people died.
So THIS was you guys' response to being proven wrong about preoccupation with impeachment in FEB? :)

By the way, Fauci's 'blessing' was on Fox News. He initially refused to answer the question and only gave his response about 'okay for healthy people' after the reporter kept pressing him. Fauci works for Trump and would like to keep his job.
 
People think that we should have had a lockdown in January. They are idiots
The ironic thing about a January lockdown is that this virus wouldn't have hit our country nearly as hard and the response from the naysayers like you would have been, "See? This wasn't so bad!"

That’s weak. So.. Fauci wasn’t recommending social distancing in March and Trump was supposed to

Left wing radicals: “Trump isn’t listening to his medical people!”

Fauci’s advice: “Take a cruise”

Left wing radicals: Fauci doesn’t really mean it! Trump is threatening to fire him!”

Lame

The ironic thing is you’re the only one who would have complied with a lockdown in January, because NOTHING would have changed for you back then either. Right guys? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hindsight arguments are lame. I would have saw what happened to Italy where I have been many times. I NEVER said that this wasn’t bad

We weren’t locking down the country in January or February. That’s stupid talk

Should we have?? Well.... duh, but who was going to comply if we are having protests NOW?

I take comfort in knowing most democrats are taking this seriously still.

Go out and have fun chuds. Throw a party. You have the right to party, The Beastie Boys fought for that right and I'll be gosh darned if a silly little flu is going to take that away.
Cringe

Death toll steady?

Numbers from the weekend were only slightly up from last weekend. Tomorrow will be the tell. Last Tuesday we adjusted to 2400ish. If we are at or near 2400 we might be leveling off. If we are 2600+ we're still on the climb.

Sorry bro, you must be upset right about now. Hang in there, I'm sure you'll find a reason soon to cheerlead a rising death toll somewhere or wish sickness/death upon people you don't agree with.

You're a wonderful, morally sound person after all.

A "wonderfully, morally sound" person doesn't characterize a poster he disagrees with as a cheerleader for a rising death toll.
people who type in italics on internet message boards deserve coronavirus the most
Another "wonderfully, morally sound" person.
 
So we get the weekend dip in reporting and now we get the Tuesday catch up. Today's will be telling because we are supposedly close to leveling off. Last week on Tuesday we went from 1600->2400. If we are at 2400 or less today we had a level or only slightly up week overall.
 
Thanks. Why do your numbers not match up with the ones on that site you shared?
They adjust all the time, new numbers come in and they modify them. I didn't add in the 6k or whatever that they added in a single day and sometimes they move deaths around. It should be generally similar.
