Coronavirus has killed over 2000 Americans!


There are only 330,502,704 survivors left in the whole country!!! We better keep everything locked down for keeps. I'm sure there won't be any riots of starving, homeless people in a month or two.

Another reprehensible T-rumper who takes joy out of this pandemic , and the lives lost to this deadly virus.

What is wrong with you ? Why do you hate America so much ?

reply

Your people are the ones who want to terrify America into locking themselves into their homes until the economy collapses, whereupon you think your feeble-minded old man Joe will remold us into a Socialist Dystopia.

reply

People locking themselves in their homes is what is preventing the deaths multiplying by a factor of ten per week.

I know Trump supporters have a tough time with logic, but at least one of you should be able to understand what happens when hospitals are too full to take in more people.

By the way you don't have to worry about a socialist dystopia any more. You removed Alicia from existence over a month ago.

RIP Alicia

Sadly, Liberals have a hard time understanding that if businesses are shut for too long, they close down, and people who worked for them lose their livelihood and the ability to feed and house themselves. Many of them may decide to riot out of desperation. Actually, I think Liberals understand that very well. Most Liberals are probably hoping for that to happen. They would think of nation-wide riots and social breakdown as positive progress in their war against President Trump.

Why are you taking so much joy out of this pandemic ? Why do you hate America so much ?

reply

You're projecting. On both counts. And you are alternating sock puppets again.

reply

If the coronavirus was a permanent problem then I might agree with you. That's not the case. If the economy stops, it can start back up again when the virus is behind us. But if we're all sent back to work, we'll be making the virus last longer.

reply

I'm not saying EVERYONE goes back to normal routines. Just the low-risk groups. Keep the aged and those with health conditions quarantined while the younger, healthier people go back to work. Even among the extremely old, coronavirus is not an automatic death sentence. Only about 12% of that group who get ill actually die.

Another problem is, China is pretty much up and running again. They will have a giant lead on the rest of the world while the rest of us are lying on our couches watching NetFlix. Who knows what they might try to pull off?

reply

First of all, the only reason republican politicians are spewing the talking point you are repeating is because their donors are all free to quarantine themselves indefinitely but need the working class to run things so their quarantine is as comfy as possible. It's a class battle, not an age one.

Secondly, China has been lying about their numbers for weeks. All you need to do is check https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/china/ to see their recovered numbers are full of shit.

reply

Regardless of their numbers, they are indeed operating again and getting ahead of the rest of the world every day.

And getting the country working again is NOT as simple as "the rich need comforts". It involves keeping the poor working people from starving and keeping our infrastructure from collapsing.

reply

You don't know that. You are assuming it based on nothing.

Because you're a fucking moron. Which is why you have to edit your posts.

reply

Ah! You are using profanity and insults! This means you are desperate and that you've lost. Night night!

reply

You're wrong. On all counts. And you take too much joy out of COVID19 killing so many people. You truly hate Americans - it's obvious from your post.

reply

Wow. This is probably the most pathetic post you've made. And that's saying something!

reply

Face it - you take joy out of COVID 19 killing so many people. You hate Americans. You proved it in your OP.

reply

And you would prefer that anyone who disagrees with you gets sent to a camp, executed and their bones piled in a field like in Pol Pot's Cambodia. You have proved this in all your posts.

Show me one post where I have 'proved this'. Just one, even though you say 'all'. Prove that you're not lying - show me one post.

reply

I have just as much proof as you have for your thesis. No need to trot them all out.

reply

Yes, there is a need. You lie about me and can't prove what you're saying in your asinine insinuation.

reply

What a boring, insipid life you must lead...

reply

NONE OF THE GOOD ONES.

reply

By all means, ignore the social distancing directives, go lick a park bench if that makes you feel less constrained.

You don't seem to realize that this is a global response and has nothing to do with left vs right. Trying to turn it into a bipartisan argument that is up for debate makes you seem completely disconnected with reality.

How would you propose the hospitals handle the influx of patients needing intensive care if we just allow the virus to spread at its own pace?

reply

You don't realize that a country with no functioning businesses cannot sustain itself for any length of time. What happens when people get desperate? How many more people will die of hunger or violence than would have died of coronavirus?

reply

So what's your best suggestion on how to handle a pandemic?

reply

Quarantine only those groups most vulnerable to serious or fatal illness; the aged, those with serious pre-existing health issues. Allow younger, healthier persons to keep the country functioning.

reply

T-rump is obese, 74 years old, and has a heart condition. Should he get COVID19 are you saying he shouldn't be treated ?

reply

Where did I say anything about anyone not getting treated? I guess you're so thoroughly defeated you have to resort to putting lies in other people's mouths.

reply

But you're telling younger people to go out and get the virus. If they do that, they all won't be able to get treated because the hospitals won't have the capacity to treat that many.

It's like you are misunderstanding a major element here, somehow believing that young people going out to work means they won't get sick, period. They will get sick, and doing so while working will make COVID-19 much worse than it already is.

This is a severe problem with the way right-wingers think. You are assuming, just like Trump did, that this will just magically go away one day. The only way it goes away is if we address the problem. That is how it always goes away. There's no such thing as magic.

reply

The vast majority who are infected do not require hospitalization, especially the majority of younger people.

reply

Some don't even have symptoms. The only way this thing gets effectively quarantined is if we quarantine everyone. If we have this picking and choosing of who goes and stays, there's no point in quarantining period. You might as well just say no quarantine, everybody back to work, but repubs don't want to say it, and don't even want it. They want to half-ass it thinking it will magically work. But again, there's no magic.

As Bill O said, "Tide goes in, tide goes out." Right-wingers can't explain that. But leftists can.

reply

Quarantining is not the 'treatment' if one has serious symptoms, so I'm asking - if he should get the virus should he be treated or not ? Or should treatment beyond quarantine be used on the younger generations only ?

reply

Why would you even ask? Of course anyone who is sick should get the treatment. Especially persons who are responsible for the whole country.

Are you nuts? Despite what you would obviously prefer, everyone sick should get treatment.

reply

Especially persons who are responsible for the whole country.


Why 'especially them' ? I thought this country was about equality for everyone?

Every time you respond in this thread you make yourself look more like an unhinged idiot.

reply

Because if the person in charge dies, it throws everything else into chaos. And your second line is strictly projection. If you're looking for unhinged, check the mirror for the person who is on here basically 24 hours a day posting nonsense even PRIOR to social distancing.

reply

2,000? That was 24 hours ago. Try 3,000 Americans.

reply

Wow!

The president has truly let us down.

reply

164,266 infected and 3,170 dead now... Only less than 150 before beating China's fake numbers.

The only question now is whether we will have less than 6,000 dead by Sunday midnight. We're a shoo-in for 5,000 by then.
