The Moron in Chief continues to not understand that with the exception of Sweeden, these countries shut down and wore masks and got things under control.

Both Trump on the virus (though I agree with him on law and order) and the general platform of the libs on just about anything nonvirus (though where were they about the virus during the protests) absolutely suck gum balls!

Spot on. Trump was slow in response but so was Libs. Masks he should wear in public when seen. Though now in countries hat have been wearing masks. Apparently the virus is spreading again. Seems it’s just one thing after another these day. From virus to lawlessness to soon to be over schools. Someone said it best in here. This is not about systemic racism and the virus. Those were just fronts. This is about changing America’s foundation and making it a socialist nation. A class warfare. Where everyone has the same and thinks the same.

Yeah this is a concern. But there not being a outbreak among the children is a very positive thing. But I also know you can never be to careful.

I’m a Disney lover and want to be down there right now but I feel like seeing things like this makes me feel like I’m actually down there in the twilight zone riding the Tower of Terror. Or Groundhog Day the movie. Whichever you can relate to best.

Everyone needs to watch Rand Paul’s remarks to Dr. False and the science and data Paul uses from other countries who actually reopened schools. All I’ve heard is science and data, well let’s use it!
Dr Fauchi and Dr Birx have been fantastic.

If it doesn’t work out for them (especially Faucci, Birx has been ok) then maybe they can get into the weather occupation. Be wrong more than you’re right and still keep your job

You need to get a better source than Rand Paul lol.....
So lets look at the daily cases reported from those European countries then compare them to the USA and maybe you will notice a difference, because there is plenty of science and data....
Germany
Spain
Now the USA notice a difference......maybe you should try listening to "Dr. False" a little more than Rand Paul....

CBS had a story, came across my MSNBC news feed, that wearing a mask was simply window dressing. Its only purpose is to show others you care, but doesn't do anything beneficial concerning the spread of Covid. Faucci had said last week something similar to that. Nevertheless, I continue to wear mine along with my other family members. I'm well aware it could be merely false hope. Also, they can be manufactured with flaws as well.
We DO need to hear more about what's proven and data, unskewed by partisan warfare.

So it looks like to me that all three countries there were pretty much on the same pace and then a few weeks back the USA spiked up again. Be curious to see that same type of chart with a correlation of tests per million over time.
They are WAY better communicators than Trump. Admittedly, Fauci has wavered on some stuff and was minimizing the threat for the US too much very early on. So, he's been wrong at times for sure. But once he got it in gear, he has been mostly consistent. But here's the key: unlike Trump, Fauci is straightforward, doesn't tell outright lies, and acts like he actually cares about the health of Americans.
Maybe I'll write-in Fauci for POTUS.

Good thing Trump isn’t a doctor.

DOn't know much about Birx. Faucci changes his position with the mask. First we had to wear it, then its just to show you're concerned, then saying it doesn't do anything. Its getting difficult to determine the best course of action. Having said that, the best preventative is to simply stay at home as much as possible.
Trump makes medical recommendations to the American people like a doc. He shouldn't do that imo. He's sucked so bad with regard to the virus. That will likely cost him the election. Hopefully Biden will pick a nonradical VP and won't succumb to the nasty left anarchists.

Not to mention the crazy numbers he was throwing around as recently as last week to create fear saying the US could be at 100,000 new cases per day soon, it could just as easily be 20,000 new cases per day soon. Heck, it’s like we are at the county fair trying to throw rings around the neck of the milk jug.

According to him he could be. He is super duper smart.

You make a good point. He’s actually recommended medicine better than some docs. Trump was the first to endorse hydroxychloroquine. He took a beaten over that and now look at the studies coming out. Looking like a genius currently.

He is much more likely to be correct than us going down to 20k
Blue_Ridge_Escarpment

Maybe, possibly, it’s likely, could be. That’s my point you are making. He doesn’t know, no one knows. When you don’t know something, especially if you’re in the medical profession, you keep your dang mouth shut.
And Trump is very modest about his intelligence, too. Listening to what he says about his IQ, you'd never know he was a genius.

I listen to my doctor and don’t care what Trump thinks since he isn’t a doctor. Recommendations are fine but you don’t have to go with it. CDC puts recommendations on everything and people don’t follow them. If he is really smart he loses this election and goes back to making billions being a businessman.
Avalanche

All I can say is that when Trump was saying this could be serious in the US, I took his word for it. We stocked up on masks and sanitizer and stayed home as much as possible. So far, so good. Yeah, I'm not trusting a doctor with a political agenda any more than I am a politician. The President gave us the warning, I listened. Glad I did. Pelosi was urging us to go out to the malls, theatres, parades, heck, even go to China. I knew then this would become political. Commons sense, a virus is spreading, protect yourself. Its quite elementary.

I’m voting for Trump of course but wouldn’t mind seeing Biden get in there so this virus will be gone November 4th. Just in time for college basketball.
Just like the weather? So, should we not speculate about how the wx might be? Because no one knows, right?

The thing about Trump is that he is the same person now then he was before he was President. People seem to look over that part. He is cocky and loves to push buttons. That is why is is a good businessman. He is different but voters wanted different in 2016.

@Rain Cold you asked about Sweden the other day and here is another article.

Sweden Has Become the World's Cautionary Tale
LONDON -- Ever since the coronavirus emerged in Europe, Sweden has captured international attention by conducting an unorthodox, open-air experiment. It has allowed the world to examine what happens in a pandemic when a government allows life to carry on largely unhindered.This is what has happened:

Trump Bankruptcy Math Doesn’t Add Up
He and his rivals have talked about four Chapter 11 filings, but there were actually six.

So true. You don’t have to like his policies or the way he governors but the man is doing something very few if any do today and that’s doing what they campaigned to do. He caught heat for it but he asked African Americans what do you have to lose by voting for me? Well he backed that up by sending funding to historically black colleges, signed a criminal justice reform bill, and pre virus had the lowest African American unemployment ever, lest we not forget that none of this was done by the previous black president. He promised a southern wall, over 250 new miles of wall since 2016. He promised a great economy, I mean we are hitting new highs daily on the market even during a pandemic and pre virus wages were sky high. He promised tax cuts to the middle working class (definitely was thankful for mine). People can whine more than an old Singer sewing machine, but results matter.

I think his demeanor is quite mild in past interviews and such. To me its merely a response to those on the left. Fighting fire with fire so to speak. He has come close to challenging the arrogant demeanors of Shumer, Pelosi, and that crowd, but they beat him simply on experience doing it.
I think Trump's always been a jerk. But I did enjoy the Apprentice very much. He's very entertaining. Boring does not describe him.
