Bingo. They know that so many people are scared to death and are easily duped into believing everything they’re told in regards to it. After all, there’s people that believed and still believe it was caused by a bat, lol.

Yep. We need to flatten the curve!!!! Now the hospitals have all kinds of methods to treat this thing and we have so many beds we don't know what to do with them all, we are still all locked up. The only thing people should be looking at is how many more deaths so far this year compared to other years, because we all know the books are cooked on the so-called COVID deaths. It is wildly overblown. Now the local news is going nuts over "a huge spike" in the heartland. Goodness.

In 2018 there were 2,839,205 registered deaths. In March this year, which was COVID time there were 268,000 deaths. In January before COVID really was going there were 263,000 deaths. I just think our country is full of crap with their statistics on COVID.

It’s certainly “full of crap”.

It is interesting to compare Sweden to the US. They have almost no deaths from it now. I think they are one of the few that did this right. No matter what nothing is "good", but just looking at their death numbers by day, they have this down and almost no deaths now.

Scroll down to deaths by day or look at the death chart. Forget "new cases" as that is MEANINGLESS. Just deaths. Well done Sweden.

The US isn't doing as well, but our country is so huge and less intelligent on average.

Just because you don’t die doesn’t mean it’s a walk in the park to be infected.

To be sure, given the option, I'd prefer to avoid it. And if that means wearing a mask, social distancing, or any other MINOR convenience, so be it.

If we only had leadership at the very top promoting it. Instead he chooses to argue with the infectious disease doctor. If the president disagrees with this guy and thinks he’s wrong then replace him.

I’m tired of Trump talking. If he wants his way then do it. Nobody is checking on you. Replace him, remove him, tell everybody to forget the masks. Roll the dice and let it rip. But face the consequences of you are wrong and it ends badly

Dr. Fauci said “we have nothing to worry about”, or are you talking about another doctor?

Governors have been making that decision. Some making worse decisions than others, but they’re losing in court.

If you feel Trump is going to lose, won’t it all be handled in a few short months, anyway?

He also stated that the situation could change quickly. And he also said that when the virus was just in China. People tend to not show the entire quote.

I’ve actually posted the entire video multiple times.

Things have certainly changed, especially now that we know the survival rate is 98%+, and the death rate from it is minimal, even though most everything is chalked up to the virus and we barely hear of any other causes of death.

We also know that no matter who is the President, that people on both sides are going to do what they want, same as they’ve been doing.
