Let's be very clear about this.

The left wants this to end.

But they want it to end after the election.

No, the left, and everyone else, didn't want it to start in the first place. That was Trump's call. That was your call if you support him and his bad calls.

NO -- we want it over with 8 weeks ago.

Because this administration and Republican state governments in the country have mismanaged this health crisis, y'all want to try and put it on the folks screaming that there has to be better leadership/messaging.

That's ridiculous.

I live in the southeast and know many conservatives -- true conservatives -- not conservative because Trump is in office.

One of these kind hearted, sweet, hard working, caring individuals decided late in life to become in nurse. She started working at a local hospital (Charleston County) just before COVID.

One of our friends (another conservative -- great person ) posted that she was thinking of this nurse.

Our friend shocked us by posting a heart felt plea to take this seriously.

She works in an upper middle class area, there are seeing the ipmact on the hospital.

It is real.

Our Governor introduced a measure to help the spread...he's gonna make the bars and restaurants stop serving alcohol after 11:00 pm. : Well that's some leadership for you.

Schools are set to open in less than a month here. We just had a 5 year old child die in the Midlands of the state.

There is nothing in our leadership at state level that is making us feel like they have a clue what they are doing.

I don't want businesses to shut down. We went and ate at a patio yesterday. We were 12 feet from other tables. You have to wear a mask to go up and order.

I think kids HAVE to go to school but how is important.

I'm glad some states got their 'stuff' together and they aren't seeing many new cases but here in the southeast -- that just isn't the case.

Oh, OK. It was Trump's call to let the virus into the country......
Actually Trump made one of the only good decisions of the entire debacle, when he stopped flights coming in very early on, from China..... despite the howls of "racism" by the left.

RE: post 45 right below, I somewhat agree. I'm not letting Trump off the hook here, because after the good call on the China flights, he screwed up some decisions as well.

Trump: This is a hoax! We’re doing great! The virus will be gone in April! Hydroxychloroquine! Bleach injections!

America: please, mr president, listen to your experts. Wear a mask.

Trump: Lets have a big rally! The economy is the best!

America: cases are rising rapidly, if you aren’t going to lead at least put on a mask.

Trump: learn to live with it!

Trump supporters: omg the left is politicizing this little “china flu”

America: Le sigh...

Yes, definitely. This is very similar to the weather machine Baby Bush had in the basement of the White House that he used to direct hurricanes to poor black areas of the south. He did that deliberately, of course. Trump schemed with the Chinese and developed this virus himself after reading through a build-it-yourself-virus-engineering correspondence course pdf posted on pinterest. He started in China with a dry run, since they have a population problem anyway. After seeing the success of his new creation, he then unleashed the virus on mainly blue states, as we can now see. Of course, he knew there would be collateral damage in red states, but he felt that it was worth the risk. He is now blackmailing and extorting the entire world, threatening to "unleash his baby" if any given nation doesn't bow to his whims. Brings a whole new meaning to "You're fired!" doesn't it?


In reality, we can all clearly see who made the "bad calls." It was blue state governors and mayors for the most part. Because Trump, for the most part has left it up to them. We are fifty STATES, and maybe Trump expected blue state rulers to be big boys and girls. THAT was certainly a bad call as we, and a lot of dead people, can clearly see.

The stats don’t lie, for someone like me, 48, healthy, eat relatively healthy, workout 3 times a week, normal BMI, it’s nothing really to worry about, if I caught it probably wouldn’t be much more than the flu or common cold. That doesn’t stop me from taking precautions, I wear a mask, still haven’t gone back to the gym yet.

If I was in the opposite group, overweight, unhealthy, couldn’t even run to the refrigerator I was so out of shape, health issues, I would be more concerned.

^^^^This. The Democrat/Media alliance will do anything, including destroying this country to get rid of Trump and gain permanent, absolute Marxist power.

The way the MSM sensationalizes the “spike” in cases without noting fewer people dying and the way that people went out of their way to try to discredit hydroxychloroquine as a treatment (even pushing out now discredited studies showing that the drug was “dangerous”), I don’t know how you could think anything else.

Thank you for the link, and the usual right wing conspiracy theory spiel we see from conservatives in just about every post. I think it's there a possibility this works, i see absolutely no justification why it shouldn't be tried. This doesn't involve ingesting some drug that was not made for covid. It's just a simply inhaler you can give covid patients on day one of their hospital visit. If it doesn't work, nothing was lost.
