So you're saying just **** It? Does that make any sense? You might show symptoms after 3 days. Like I don't know why you would choose this hill to die on. ANY reduction in spread will take pressure off our medical system in 3 weeks. Iran is digging mass graves for their dead that you can see from satellite images if you search Google right now. That's where this goes ok. This ain't the flu. ANY reduction in spread saves lives in a few weeks.
It's not politicization to point out when a politician in charge of leadership has ****ed up things in their own control. I have several posts here about how Covid19 is not trumps fault but there are things his administration has failed badly on and it's not politicization to point that out. I'm not saying TRUMP CAUSED THIS that wouldn't be fair but I am saying his leadership has made this worse with misinformation and mismanagement and to me that is unacceptable and a fair criticism. It's politicization to not blame him for his obvious misinformation and mismanagement of the situation.

OMIGOD, the CDC has been fully staffed and uh, "over-funded" for TWO WHOLE WEEKS!!!!
Donald J Trump is the issue. I believe the scientists and competent people in the CDC are doing great but this is about leadership. Trump told the American public that a flu shot would help. He told them this would be over in 2 weeks. He said that it was a hoax. He said that it's not as bad as the flu. He lied about what the insurance companies would pay for he was wrong about what areas would have travel restrictions. He offered low interest SBA loans instead of health related response. He's publicly bullied the FED, which is an apolitical entity and he's made up policies and announced them to the public that hadn't even had discussions begin with congress.
The Administration had to release THREE corrections after Trump's speech to the nation.
Jesus, the Pollyannish responses to this sh*tstorm would be laughable if this wasn't so serious.
If you hadn't been taking the exact same position to literally everything Trump has done over the last 4 years maybe your opinion would carry some weight. You and friedchickenlittle have been screaming about how the sky is falling for too long to be taken seriously.
I’m not sure many “lefties” are reveling at the thought of thousands possibly millions of people dying even though yes, older people skew heavily toward Republicans. They are still people’s parents, grandparents, etc. I can disagree with my grandfathers politics and not want him dead.
It's only hindsight for the dumb. Everyone smart knows we got rough waters ahead and everyone dumb downplayed this until it was too late.
Why is that funny? Do you think countries would be taking such drastic actions if the possible death toll of inaction wasn’t staggering? The Spanish flu killed 50 million.
Just more evidence of a government that is unprepared and fails to communicate.
It's always been fully staffed. For the last 2 weeks it has been over funded. To my knowledge nobody has claimed that they have ever been understaffed or underfunded but now there is essentially unlimited funding.
It's funny because its total hyperbole. You're comparing a virus from 1918, when medical technology still relied on blood-letting to a virus in 2020 when we have vastly superior treatment and remedy for disease. You may as well compare this to the bubonic plague and say that 3/4ths of the world's population is going to die and that we will have to move underground like some apocalyptic movie that you watched in 1992. Its stupid and panic driven.
How many do you think will die? You're laughing at a million so I'm curious about your prediction
Comparing this to the plague of the 14th century and the 1918 Spanish Flu is irresponsible. Idiotic really
