I didn't say goveners, I said "health" officials. Many health officials pleaded with him to cancel the rally or at least move it outdoors if he was going to discourage physical distancing and masks. So no, not false. The fact that unscrupulous politicians have chosen to politicize this virus is quite disturbing, and that includes democrats. There's a lot of blame to go around for the current state of the virus down south but for a leader who believes he's the final authority, he also gets to shoulder the most blame.

I'm really thinking you're not understanding this virus. Do you believe there is a vaccine on the way in the near future? Or do you believe it is just going to disappear on it's own?

As always, those with underlying health issues or seniors are free to isolate and take extra precautions are they not?

Pretty sure that a lot of people understand the virus and there are many who also understand the idea of not overloading the health care system. Spreading out infection over time rather than overloading, helps save lives. Obviously, this is a hard concept for some to understand.

That's a little ignorant. There is no evidence showing that it will run its course. If it does what timeline do you add with that brilliant statement?

Evidence? What do you think stopped all of the previous viruses that have passed across the planet?

Any been overloaded yet in Canada or the US?
Seems to be a hard concept for some to understand that hospitals have been ghost towns.
Try again?

No you said over ruled. And of course that was false. If you want to argue that he ignored their advice you might have a point.
By the way lots of health officials were also ok with mass demonstrations too. Trying to suggest that health officials are providing consistent or even factual advice is funny too. I can remember back when they all claimed masks were ineffective.

So why is it that the US Navy hospital ship (believe it was Comfort) was docked at port in New York and was never used? Were you passed out and missed that one?

LOL - Trump agrees with you.

Most of the rest of the world do not and are smart enough to listen to the scientists, experts and adults. Trump is too bust stroking his own ego and lying to his own people minimizing this pandemic to protect his own wealth.

Yet Trump has the audacity to stand up there and say how great they are doing and he expects people to believe him. Only an complete idiot would believe a word that compulsive liar and delusional narcissist would say.

The rest of the countries who have since flattened the curve and are on the right path are opening up their economies. Meanwhile the US is shutting down theirs now .......... see the irony there?

That one backfired didn't it.

They will prolong this and cause MORE HARM to the economy over the long term.

Trump is an idiot. He proves it time, after time, after time.

The numbers prove it.

USA leads the WORLD in deaths

USA leads the WORLD in infection rates

They are now shutting this down again which will delay the economic recovery further.

Congratulations Trump - quite an achievement !!!!!

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...19-cases-death

What am I missing? You are saying the US should just keep this up?

Really?

Link is broken. You are also aware that most of the data is corrupt due to the number of people tested and the reporting methods vary horrendously from country to country. Confirmation Bias is alive and well.

Usually you're a little sneakier with your insults. A bit more blatant this time

The rest of what you type is background noise....as always

Actually only some states are reintroducing restrictions.
Most states had lower infection rates and mortality rates than Canada.
The states with the greatest death rates ignored federal guidelines.
Québec had a mortality rate almost double that of the US.

But if it makes you feel better, orange man bad.

Is Trump the governor of New York? Must have missed that while I was asleep.
TDS is alive and well, tough to carry on when he's in your head 24/7 I bet?

It was reported that the hospital ship was for critical surgeries only since all hospitals were full of Covid patients. Then converted to Covid as well. Oh 182 were treated. Why?

The system had built a short term hospital for 2500 and only saw 500 beds ever used. New York got ahead of the curve and brought down the infection rate such that the hospitals could handle the load.

Now they are ramping up to do elective surgeries again.

So anyone using this as an excuse or proof the pandemic is a hoax doesn’t understand the facts.

Without intervention and shutting down New York, all beds and more would of been filled.
