When Trump talks in his word salad style, people pick up bits and pieces and then come to their own stupid conclusions. Words matter. Trump needs to shut up and let the doctors do the talking.
No, internet posters need to shut up. Trump actually has discussions with the medical experts, unlike his TDS-suffering detractors here and elsewhere.

Yes 1.4 million people partying in one city was such a great idea.

Further they came from all over the country and world and then spread it back out.

The Governor was likely concerned loss of revenue and now seeking to be declared a Federal disaster area for the Federal government to bail his State out for their great idea.

Elections have consequences.

If you elect an idiot for a governor this is exactly what you get.

BTW this particular idiot is a Democrat.

Yes, T has discussions with his medical experts. Maybe he even understands what they are telling him. But he has a very obvious problem when he tries to explain things. This is just one instance out of many where people misunderstand what he is trying to say.

How many times have you personally come here on City Data to explain what T really meant after so many other people mis-understood something he said or tweeted? You know that happens, a lot.

You really have to be a special kind of stupid to hear Trump talking about a prescription only malaria drug - and then mix the cleaner you use to clean your aquarium with pop, drink it and think it's the same thing.

Dumb people do stupid crap.

Trying justify in any way what those Arizona morons did is equally as stupid.

Why are you trying to throw up subterfuge? The graph is about cases and how it spreads rather than how much of a population actually sick. That issue just buries the lead that this is a dangerous virus because it spreads multiple ways. The cases double every two to three days. Several governors say their healthcare system cannot handle it. All you and others do with your subterfuge is remove how important this battle is. If we do not flatten the curve enough, we will be in for a lot of trouble.

You are talking to the posters who would have consumed fish tank cleaner if Obama said Chloroquine

lol. If it's about cases & spreading - where's China?

The graph was created that way for a specific purpose - and that's to fuel the panic.

And you fell for it.

There are a lot of stupid people in this country. That is why it is so important for the President to speak clearly. And if he can't do that (if that is not one of his strong points) then he needs to leave it to the people who have the particular talent to be good explainers.

So Lawton and Enid, OK have zero cases, so far, but recently decided to shut down much of their towns. The Republican governor has said that counties that eventually get cases will have to shut down more.
