The China virus is dying out-deaths have been trending down sharply in this country for 6-7 weeks now. Not that you'd know that if you listen to CNN or MSNBC, or the rest of the BS networks. Lowest death toll since March on Sunday. This bug is on it's way out and quickly.
Then why the hell are there people on here saying cases have been going up in their states? Just who is in denial of reality?

But the problem with your reasoning is that increased hospitalizations may lead to increased deaths. You have to hope that old folks will continue to stay home and away from people, if they value their lives.

We have been fooled.
Pandering has started up again.
It's easy for that guy on the video to talk. He is not over age 65. The biggest take away from this thread is old folks lives don't matter.

The flu and a host of other infectious diseases have certainly also been inadvertently passed to older, vulnerable people by younger, healthier ones, and possibly killed them. Where has the outrage been for all of these instances?

A lot of the far-right Trump supporters here knowingly and purposely post fake information. And they are not interested in talking facts.

COVID-19 cases are on the rise in 17 states. To include Florida & Texas, two states that had governors that were hot to trot to reopen.

You won't see any Trump supporters address that, though.

Because they cherry pick data and lie to try to manipulate others-either some on here-or the ones that unquestioningly accept whatever crap the media feeds them and are too lazy to check the data themselves. They speak of a "record spike in new cases" when a state has an oddity of data with one very low day and them jumps back to "normal" the next day. The "record spike" was the return to the previous average. Or they pick one state as "proof" that things are getting worse...while deaths across the country drop sharply week after week.

Yes they are on the rise in 21 states...over 110k dead so far (projected to 145k next 2 months)...opening some areas with rising numbers way too soon with lack of testing, contact tracing, and no vaccine in sight for the covid "hoax".

The irony is that you are most accurately describing CNN & MSNBC with the above statements.

A president is responsible for everything, good or bad, because he is our leader. Leaders don't put blame on anyone else. It makes them look weak. A real leader admits their mistakes.

Trump only did what Dr. Fugazi told him to do. He said in FEBUARY nobody had to worry about it, so Trump didn't worry about it. Then he said in late March we should do a temporary lockdown, so Trump did. He's certainly done more to stop it from spreading than Obama did with h1N1.
