Coronavirus

Do we know if more tests are being administered as well? That in and if itself could produce more positive tests.
Last 4 says have been more people testing positive than any previous day. Have the last 4 days also produced the most negative tests as well I wonder?

The word a few days ago was that testing was slightly down.

The Saturday number represented a nearly 15% (I think it was 14.6%) positive rate on tests. The rate was previously dropping and was near 4% positive rate. So these numbers represent a significantly higher positive rate per test.

Do you believe that Trump tells more falsehoods than the average person Joe?

Omg I hope so. If not humanity is one big ugly smelly pus infected stain.

well.... when the white nationalists are burning down your neighborhood, the fire does tend to be the more immediate attention grabber.

although I have heard and read about covid19 risks from many news sources. So this is both stupid and a lie.

not at all surprising.

I believe that the vast majority of what people on the left call Trump's lies are not lies at all. To me they are purposeful misinterpretations of his words reconfigured as lies. An example is Trump speculating about the possibility of cleaning blood. Anti-Trumpers immediately conflated that statement with telling Americans to inject or drink bleach. He never said that. Meanwhile they ignore what appear to be obvious lies by guys like Chris Cuomo, Peter Strozck, James Comey, James Clapper, AOC, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. In the opinion of some people (you are apparently included in this group), if you hate Trump you are allowed to say whatever you want.

... with disinfectant. It's rather odd that you complain about the media coverage and leave out the key part of the quote.

Objectively there is no comparison. Trump lies every time he opens his mouth. It is his M/O. He knows nothing else. Mendacity

Anyhow, when your President tweets that "the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat" maybe the perpetual mendacity and complete void of integrity is the least of his problems.

We've already completely destroyed Joe's claims on this matter, so I'm not going to bother re litigating.

Listen to the Lincoln Project and others with intellectual honesty from the right in a growing chorus joining the condemnation. And then the rats will continue jumping ship and 5 years from now no one will remember anyone who supported the carnival barker peddling snake oil. Those who believed him will feel foolish the rest of their lives.

Show me a single statement where Trump advised people to inject bleach. I can show you hundreds where people have claimed that he said that.

Trump just mentioned "disinfectant" and did not specifically refer to bleach. Do you acknowledge he was discussing putting disinfectants into people's blood streams? If so, does it really matter which one?

You have places like Spain today that had huge outbreaks but now get <100 cases a day and no deaths. For the entire country.

Our population is 7x compared to them, but it will be a long while before we could ever conceive of such stats.

So testing results in Iowa seem pretty slow. Tested last Thursday, results now expected back on Wednesday.
