Trump is not responsible for the virus...and nobody is saying that.

Trump is responsible for the messaging, lack of divisive leadership that enabled Governors to control the spread in their states.

Governors who tried to take a hard line to mitigate the spread were mocked, jeered and Trump encouraged protests against them.

Governors who chose to try to promote Trump and his agenda opened too early, dismissed concerns.

This wasn't a Republican problem.

Trump finally wore a mask to the hospital. Why? Becaused red and blue Governors are pushing for everyone to wear masks. If we had just done this 8 weeks ago perhaps there would be less pressure on our hospitals, nurses, doctors, etc.

YEAH YEAH -- not all communities are the same..

On April 30th South Carolina was averaging some 160 new cases a day., our average now -- 1500 a day. We aren't a densely populated states with lots of opportunities for folks to share 'water particles'. We have to make a conscientious effort to get together in large groups for significant time to facilitate the spread.

I totally don't think there should be a shutdown, but I do wish that the federal and state government were less worried about how it looks and more about how we can contain this virus in order to be able to have kids go to school, parent go to work.

First week in May offices opened up, now they are shutting down again and people are working from home.

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.

The drug is being used. BUT It isn't the cure all. Nothing is yet.

FDA warned that doctors should use it carefully because of the implications for those with heart conditions but it is being used.

It's a conservative myth that somehow everyone stopped using it because there were concerns about the safety of common use.

Actually, I'm surprised this guy hasn't disappeared and the videos haven't been yanked.
Well, your post is based on an absolute fallacy - that "the Left" would be upset if there was a cure for Covid-19. I think we all hope for a cure; that's why billions of $$ are being spent on both treatments and vaccines.

But I would have to hear it from someone other then The Fake News Network (OAN) before i believe it.

No thanks. I've already got a hobby -- trying to figure out who here is taking a big check to the bank just for sitting at home tapping those keys.

Think about all those oppressive nations that force their women to be covered from head to toe in a Burka....
They too are not immune.
Why are they getting Kung Flu in record numbers????

Do your own research. When oxygen and blood pressure drop you can be susceptible to blood clots.
