If nothing else, Covid has demonstrated that Americans are self-centered weaklings incapable of assessing risk or planning for the medium-term. Make America Great Again indeed. We are the laughingstock of the world.

The only ones that keep beinging up "It's a hoax" are a few disgruntled liberals who have never gotten over losing the 2016 election, and so keep telling lies about Presidet Trump.

The connection? They keep insisting HE said coronavirus was a hoax. But he never did. And when you ask them to back up their shouts, they either ignore you or even vanish completely from the thread.

Nobody thinks it's a hoax, and never did. Except those few Trump-haters who keep bringing it up in hopes of fooling normal people.

That's not going to even come close to overwhelming our hospitals.
You can't trust the B.S. you're watching on the "news", it's all hysteria nonsense.
So overwhelmed hospitals in New York City must be regarded as nothing but fake news to make Trump look bad?

The real losers in this hysteria or blue collar workers.
Not if they are union members. They will still get full pay and benefits. That's why we need unions.

So what happens when all of these sick people show up at hospitals at the same time? We don't have a few hundred thousand extra hospital beds in reserve.

Yes, and they keep demanding lock downs due to their inability to act accordingly on their own. Such weaklings require a nanny to look out for them.

What a great comparison. Do be sure to bring up this important parallel in homeroom tomorrow if school hasn’t been canceled this month. If it has, tuck away this nugget for later use.

And we need unions to bankrupt major cities. And states.

Yay unions!

Why throw in a jab at Trump supporters, as I am one, and just called the OP out on this claim in #127.

Not that I think Trump is the greatest president that can do no wrong, but I am thankful every day we do not have Hillary as our president.

I am also someone who was not fond of Obama/Biden, but didn't call them out on H1N1, nor attack their supporters over something they had little to no control over.
Sure they were apparently not as quick to respond to that crisis as Trump/Pence have been, but I do not blame them for the H1N1, as no potus/VP can be held responsible for people dying in a such a pandemic.

How about we agree to support each other as fellow Americans during this crisis, rather than snipe at each other in a partisan fashion?
