And if we never went to a Dentist we would have very few cavities.

If we didn't get our eyes checked we would have very few vision problems.

If we didn't get on the scales, we wouldn't get fat.


Basic cause and effect per our "most greatly intelligent president ever".

I guess we could cure cancer by ignoring it completly. Report no cases, it just goes away.

So now Trump said we could cure it by ignoring it? What Trump said, and what you are inferring Trump actually meant are two completely different things. Any other words or ideas you would like to speak for the president?

Yeah, diabetics are always dying of pneumonia symptoms with effed up x-rays and they just chalk it up to the diabetes. Sometimes they also get shot and die from getting shot caused by diabetes too or get hit by a bus caused by diabetes.

Providing completely inaccurate information and data is exactly what China is known for, because they have gotten away with it for decades. Anyone who follows their GDP and economic data knows this. Meanwhile, the USA is operating in a very transparent manner and providing accurate info, and the left is losing their fricken minds on a daily basis. Since the left can't handle reality like adults, maybe they should move to China where they will be lied to and manipulated into believing fairy tales and unicorn farts from the CCP. Plus, it's a communist country, just the way they like it.
if China were into manipulating numbers that badly, then why did they even bother revising numbers upwards?

have you seen the lengths they went to in order to keep it contained? I can tell you they're doing far more than we are in preventative measures.
for one, their populace is more compliant when it comes to following orders. call it CCP brainwashing, or a collectivism mentality... it's on such a different level, we're not even in the same league.

and the bolded statement is BS. we're fudging our numbers as well.

"If we didn't do any testing, we would have very few cases" DJT
Sounds very clear to me. And nuts when applied to Corona, cancer, car engine problems, piano tuning, speeding, etc etc etc. If you don't test, nothing is wrong (so you go along in la la land and think you are greater than anyone else).

If we want to open the economy successfully, the more testing the better. If I test positive, then I don’t go to work and don’t infect the entire business with it so that it can keep running. Why is that so hard to understand?

Meanwhile, virtually every person who has a connection to healthcare of any kind, says we need more testing. They're actually more worried about the people, and less about how Trump looks.
You'd think those who still insist this is a benign disease (it will disappear like a "miracle"!) would want more testing

Because everyone knew they were lying, and calling them out on it. Most citizens in China were well aware that they were not being told the truth, and the CCP does have to tell the truth when enough pressure is applied.

Yes, they were boarding people's doors shut. They arrested doctors for trying to warn the world of the virus. They arrested scores of people for criticizing the government's handling of the virus. People were apprehended against their will in some cases, and locked in makeshift hospitals, with one of them collapsing and killing dozens. If this is what you want, the world is your oyster. I certainly won't stop you from leaving. Hope you won't miss your basic human rights, freedoms, and most importantly, freedom of speech.

The very idea that China is a model for how to properly deal with a pandemic is laughable. It obviously didn't work, because it's now a global pandemic, and it looks to be rising again in China.
