Coronavirus

Now I hate defending Trump, because the man is an idiot, but does anybody really think the President of the United States is going to be allowed to take medicine that would be high risk for him? Now maybe they're just giving him sugar pills, maybe the stuff is fine, but c'mon a little common sense.

As for the statements making a perfect ad, you are very correct. Just like Biden's "86k jobs lost, millions dead" line will make a good ad. They're both too old, and it sucks those are our choices. I swear they're both becoming senile before our eyes.

That’s my issue... both parties scoured the country and these are the two guys we came up with?

Trump almost seems to be playing a character exaggeration of himself. Biden is old and not super charismatic imo. Bernie was a bit too far for me but I thought he was smart and honest and had some leadership characteristics I liked. But why we going for all these old white dudes?

I'm not overly concerned about the color of the nominees, tbh, I don't think that should be a deciding factor. I really dislike the age though. It's a hard, hard, job. And we're giving it to the elderly?! That seems crazy to me.

If the Republican party is smart, Nikki Hailey will be the 2024 nominee.
 
You're a sad, sad, human.

republicans stormed town halls a few years back chanting “let him die” for a health care debate over pre-existing conditions. But sure, me wanting stupid people to be held accountable for their stupid decisions makes me a sad person. I’m sorry, if people are dumb enough to still rush into large crowds without masks while carrying AK47s to “liberate” a gym, then they deserve everything they get. We experts have been warning you about the dangers of this virus. We can bring you asses to the trough but we can’t force you to drink. Your stupid actions have consequences. I believe in personal accountability.

trump lying about taking the drug which will undoubtedly encourage his followers to take it, is somehow better than him actually taking it? Hmmm

Not for argument but just clarity, of what are you an expert of pertaining to the virus?

For that matter, maybe he's lying.

She hot?

What do you mean by "allow him". Does Trump have a boss or a parent or someone who has control over him. If so they have been doing a piss poor job of controlling him so far.

Agreed with the first paragraph (not that I disagree with your last sentence I just don't know who that is)

There's a difference between believing in personal accountability and being glad that people suffer from the consequences of them.

I too believe in personal accountability. I still have compassion and remorse for people that suffer from their own actions. You, because of politics, apparently don't. That's the sad part.
 
So there have been a few reports of a person testing positive, then testing negative and then some time later testing positive again.

What I haven't heard about these situations seems to be the most important part, imho.

Did the person initially show definite symptoms? Did they then recover from those symptoms? After recovering from symptoms did they start displaying symptoms again?

I haven't seen that mentioned at all. Does anyone know?

Had to go and find this post! Just read an article on it this morning.

Basically, they're shedding dead cells of the virus, and the test can't differentiate.

It often makes me wonder about a person who blows their own horn. Don't you want the economy to open which forces those that make the least and with the worst access to health care back to the front line against the virus?
 
I don’t believe Trump is taking that medicine. I think he said he was for two reasons. To get back at Dr. Bright, who was fired, and testified that he did not want time wasted promoting that very medicine. And, secondly, because Trump touted it in the first place, and one thing Trump cannot allow is the appearance that he may have been mistaken. About anything.

Because his followers do pay attention to even those of his ideas that amount to abject nonsense, saying he was taking it was one of his more irresponsible proclamations.

Trump is like the pop star who says **** and you're reaction is like "who CARES"...except that he's the president of the United States.

For about the 50th time, we have a difference of opinion on the impact of the economy on the lower income, and the severity of the virus. I understand you don't agree with that, but what you're trying to equate here isn't the same.
