I’m wondering what the media and all these people bashing Trump about Covid wanted him to do? I mean his response wasn’t perfect but good grief the fear porn was off the charts. I remember when I saw the death rate I was shocked that the media reported it like a zombie apocalypse. If Biden wins I’m thinking it will get downplayed or he institutes a lock down. I can see my risk and adjust while living mr life. Not sure what people want.
With Obama I had never seen the media give someone such fawning coverage and Trump is the opposite. Without Covid he wins easily but the media succeeded in scaring people for a virus with a 99.9% survival rate.
The funny thing is that if you adjust by population, the USA isn't doing that bad, I mean, in Argentina we have similar numbers adjusted by population, a bit less, but keep in mind that we're 45 million people, we have been in lockdown since March (We're getting out of it next week I think) and we test very little compared to other countries, so the amount of cases is not very reliable. We have seen that lockdowns don't make it dissappear, but I think a lot of people like the idea of it because they stay at home getting paid while being able to act morally superior to those grandma killers who want to work because otherwise they'll starve.
Last I checked the US is only looking "bad" because of a couple of Dem-run cities like Detroit and mainly New York.
Didn't New York put covid patients in elderly care centers? Oh, let's expose the people who have the most risk to the virus, what could possibly go wrong...
Yep. And Michigan, and I think a couple of other Dem controlled states/cities.
They all built multi million dollar temporary hospitals that barely saw any patients.
New York had that hospital ship and rather than send elderly patients there, Cuomo sent them to nursing homes.
If Trump did that they'd lose their fucking minds, but instead we don't hear a peep about it from the same people who claim Trump is responsible for 200k+ deaths.
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and California. All of those states have nursing homes accounting for 50% of their staates deaths, with Pennsylvania being 70%.
The hospital ship was in new york harbor for a month, had 1000 beds for non-covid related treatments, saw so few patients it converted to treat covid patients and still left the city after treating about 200 patients. In a month. The hospital ship sent to LA had a sinilar outcome
