Yes he don't but I know Arizona will because Gov. Ducey is a Trump bootlicker. Ducey won't give his state straight answers on Covid-19. It is typical politics as usual.

What percentages is that
I can math!

Italy:
10,023 died / 92,472 cases = 10.8% death rate.
&
10023 died + 12384 recovered = 22,407 closed cases.
10023 / 22407 = 44% death rate among all closed cases.

Germany:
433 deaths / 57,695 = 0.7% death rate.
&
433 deaths + 8481 recovered = 8914
433 / 8914 = 5% death rate among closed cases.

FYI, click on the country and you'll find that second calculation done for you if you're following the numbers here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

I don't know what they think. I am an atheist and not a Trumper or Republican. But I do see GOP give a pass to things they are suppose to be against. Just like Democrats do for their people. I just think with our current situation what Melania Trump did 30 years ago is not important. What Bill Clinton did 30 years ago is also not important. I think if people put energy into this other stuff they are really not taking the pandemic seriously.

That is part of why I am a Libertarian. I have never voted for a R or D person ever. People often wrongfully assume when I say something about one party that I am a left wing or right wing. Nope.

Looking at those numbers my guess is Germany is testing more people than Italy.

Many people do. I just roll my eyes with the religious right because they only ask to forgive them when it is Republicans while Democrats they are sinners and going to Help even if they repent.

As of right this minute, it is 2,047. I would bet the number will be at least 2,400 by Monday morning, but it wouldn't surprise me to see closer to 3,000, I just hope I'm wrong!

Wow the Hitler card really? Obama didn't have a nationwide natural disaster like Trump has. Obama handled H1N1 as well as he could but Trump has handled this horribly and there are a bunch of deaths that could directly be tied to his inaction and him not accepting the crisis early enough. We are at thousands of deaths, he could have been able to handle it before we had 1. Instead he sat on his fat ass and said it was no worse than the flu and was being used as the new hoax.

I agree. Both sides are loaded with hypocrites. Democrats are big on science unless it does not fit their talking points. So they call GMO's dangerous when science says they are totally safe. Republicans have the same problem with climate change.

Then you have the religious right who gives Trump a pass. Years ago you had feminists who gave Bill Clinton a pass. Up to the me too movement Bill Clinton was still great. His past not important at all.

I would feel unclean if I latched on to either party. Trump takes it to a new level. Then you have democrats who hate Trump but copy his offensive style. Moscow Mitch, tRump, etc etc. They do the same sort of nicknames and never talk policy only insult those who do not agree with them.

Anyways that is how I see it. And I can guarantee almost no one on here will agree with me.
