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.
I guess it means that all the hell we went through for the last 8 mos wasn't draconian enough?
If Biden wins, my gut says the media will start downplaying the risk and advocate to a return to normalcy
Yeah, I think Biden will come out with some worse decrees like national mask mandate and/or lockdown. Compliance will be no more than now. Media will show no dissent and perfect compliance, and in a few weeks the virus magically disappears and Biden is hailed as a hero.
I dont even think they'll wait that long.
During the Reagan/Bush years, the media kept fearmongering about a growing homeless epidemic. As soon as Clinton got elected, the media simply stopped talking about it. He didn't do anything to fix it.
That may be true too, I was going under a presumption that maybe he wants some extra points so they will make him mandate some virus things so it's clear that he "saved" us.
Its possible, but I think some D corporate donors like Disney are desperate to get the virus behind us. And will want return to normalcy sooner rather than later
That's exactly what is going to happen. They will keep the panic up through January, and then stuff will start to get better "because of Biden".
If Europe is any indication the media and politicians are just going to keep feeding off each other getting ever more hysterical.
Still plenty of outrage to be had by attacking those who oppose lockdowns and smear them as deranged conspiracy theorists and Enemies of Science(TM).
Until one day when Science(TM) changes its decree on COVID and all those people will fall in line like the sheep they are.
