    Democrats think equality means equality in outcome. I think a lot of people are finally catching on to these recycled cries of fake outrage for political gain. 

    There is only one race in America controlled by a political party. 

    Democrats have controlled nearly every black community in the US over the last 50 years.

    “Two officers with the Louisville Metro Police Department were shot Wednesday night during protests following a grand jury decision in the Breonna Taylor case, the interim chief of the Louisville Police Department confirmed in a press briefing.” 

    We can have mass gatherings of thugs protesting but we can’t have in person learning in our schools? 

    Do these people even know what they’re mad about?

    studies by Harvard, Rutger and Northeastern universities.
    Low increase of covid cases in cities with high rates of protests.

    Risk is reduced by outdoor ventilation, mask wearing and protesters walking.
    Indoor proximity of people is riskier than outdoor activity. A mobile crowd is
    safer than a stationary one. However Trump's push to reopen economy
    prematurely has lead to far more infections.
    His rallies add to virus outbreaks. Schools and stores report more infections.
    Now covid cases are increasing in most states instead of declining.

    For the record, Sept. 23:

    South Korea -- which is right next door to CHINA ! --
    got its first case of covid-19 on the very same day as the US.


    Which government achieved success and which FAILED?

     

    South Korean death toll from covid =               393         (  8 deaths per million pop)
    trump-regime deaths from covid =   201,920    (623 deaths per million pop)

    Side Note:  Although China has a gateway to North Korea ...There is no direct connection from China to South Korea...

    Precisely!

    And also she would NOT have acted stupidly by dismantling the office for Pandemic Response 2 years ago like trump did. And thus we would have been seriously and urgently on top of the outbreak from the get-go, since it was evident it was a national security threat to the lives of the American people.

    Nor would she have LIED to the public and "played down" the national health threat at any time, let alone those very crucial early weeks in February.

    Nor would she have EVEN THOUGHT of suggesting to inject bleach.

    Nor would she - as a mature and responsible adult - have mused repeatedly that the virus would soon just "disappear"

    In the final analysis those are the key failures

    Biden & Pelosi called Trump xenophobic for shutting down travel from China, & then Europe. Had they any say in the matter, we'd likely have over 1/2 million dead if not more by now.........'nuff said.

    More proof how trump's LIES and incompetence hurt America...


    From the 129 world countries with at least 4 million pop, the inept
    trump-regime just overtook UK on Saturday; now rising to 8th WORST.
    trump likely to pass Ecuador for 7th WORST sometime next week.

    Deaths per million population:

    966 ...was 922 Peru
    859 ...was 855 Belgium
    < big gap >
    665 ...was 636 Spain
    663 ...was 617 Bolivia
    657 ...was 613 Brazil
    651 ...was 619 Chile
    633 ...was 612 Ecuador
    626 ...was 596 trump's-denialist regime <--- 8th worst!

    Public health experts are sad and shocked at US reaching 200,000 covid deaths milestone.  Staggering loss of life could have been prevented if pandemic response hasn't been worser than in past governments.  US started off on the wrong foot and struggled to catch up to other countries.  There has been no coordinated federal response as required in Obama pandemic playbook.  Many of the pandemic preparations made in previous 2 decades have been cancelled, making it harder for other levels of government to step in and fill the leadership void.  Despite failure in national leadership, local and state governments have done the best they could. 

    There are many problems such as lack of universal healthcare and confusing messages that lead people to not take coronavirus seriously.  Experts are surprised that basic safety such as mask wearing has been politicized.  Dysfunctional for Trump administration to undermine science and top public health organizations such as US center for disease control, National institute of health and Food drug administration.  More could be done to keep people safe.  Testing, contact tracing, ventilation and greater actions by government.

    Awfully vague (by design)  

    1. Give me examples of coordinated federal responses from the Obama playbook that you would have liked to seen implemented 

    2. What pandemic preparations made in the previous 2 decades were cancelled?  

    3. Fauci and the CDC said not to wear masks because they don’t work and now they’re complaining that mask wearing has been politicized?  

    4. How did the Trump administration undermine “science”? 

    5. We’ve done more testing than any other country in the world. And last I checked we were 2nd to Israel per capita. 

    6. Ventilation? What does that mean?

    Odds are that if you were aware of the Coronavirus since March of this year, you will have remained healthy if you avoided large crowds and kept yourself socially distant when you had to be around strangers or small groups. 

    This is not rocket science. You either value your health by making choices that kept you at the lowest possible risk of catching Covid19, or you didn't. The % of people in this country that are not aware of the current risk profile of Covid19 is essentially ZERO. 

    The argument from the left on this issue is a dead horse.

    I'm quite sure the reason they said not to wear masks in the beginning was so there wouldn't be a run on masks, depleting supplies needed for frontline healthcare workers. The notion that masks don't work in pure insanity. And it has been politicized. There's a reason doctors and dentists have worn masks since forever. There's a reason the utilized masks in the Spanish Flu pandemic. It's the simplest thing but it's proven effective. The merits of their use are so basic and common sense yet people still search the internet for psuedo science to refute it. And that's the thing about the echo chamber that is the internet. You can find an expert opinion to back up just about anything.

    This is a plain falsehood, Scoob. Hospitals do get paid more to treat medicare patients diagnosed with covid, especially if they have to go on a ventilator. That,'s just medicare patients though. And that bump isn't enough to warrant a criminal conspiracy involving doctors, nurses, and hospital administrators all across the country. That's what this fake news myth proposes. A criminal act. Fraud. Hospitals are cash cows as is. You think they are rocking the boat, that doctors are risking loss of license and freedom, for a few extra bucks? Not a chance In most of these hospitals, the doctors have no financial incentive for this. They don't work on commission.
