Seriously? You don't seem to understand that Covid doesn't care if you're left wing or right wing. It hits whoever it will. It would behoove us all to want a treatment for it.

I'd doubt covid is going to have much to do with the reelection (or not) of Trump. For the most part, he's been letting others make the choices on that matter.

Matters for another thread, but I'd say the biggest factor influencing the reelection (or not) of Trump will be the behavior patterns of a certain segment of our populace. We all have to decide if that segment is who we want in power. Viruses are not politically motivated. Most people know that. And the national response to the virus has been, for the most part, left up to the states and local authorities, as it should be. Trump is not calling the shots (for the most part) with covid.

So does the common cold and flu.

Back on the topic, it would be very naive to suggest that one side is actually rooting for a pandemic. Only crazed individuals would actually want to root for a pandemic.

Think about it this impacts everyone regardless of political persuasion. There are people that are putting off dating, people who are putting off treatments or surgeries, people who have postponed or cancelled their wedding ceremonies, and people who have died or have become disabled by this virus. These are people of all races, political beliefs, all backgrounds, and all living situations (rural, suburban, ghetto, or hip part of the city) who are grieving someone they lost due to this. To suggest that a large group of people want to egg this virus on is well not logical.

Yup. I saw the news "stories" that the other poster must have seen about covid affecting a bunch of other parts of the body. Sounds scary... until you realize that MOST viral infections do as well. As do many bacterial infections. I have personal experience with that: when I was 19 years old, strep throat really messed my heart up for a long time--irregular heartbeat for years.

Absolutely.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Perhaps not "large" groups, but they are out there. They are out there for pretty much any "political" (or something that can be made political) topic or issue. And many of them are homicidal if not in body, certainly in mind.

Actually, I'm surprised this guy hasn't disappeared and the videos haven't been yanked.
I read that. I believe the cure is here already. It will be found. But it’s the stupidest things to say that left doesn’t want a cure. Like they haven’t lost people, jobs, or gotten sick. It’s the right wingers that will fight any vaccines...

I wish it is that simple. After seeing racist democrats sponsoring domestic terrorism to hurt their enemy, Trump, I believe they are hoping the Chinese virus will continue until the election so that they can blame it on Trump.

I've seen stories about that, from the perspective of donors and recipients both.

If you haven't seen stories in the media about convalescent plasma, are you in the medical profession and learned through work?

That’s a twisted point of view that 1/2 of America wish the other die or get sick. Go breathe fresh air and cut that tv off ~ geez

I think a much better question is why does ANY good news about Covid result in tantrums from the Anti-Trump people? A new strategy (drug) to deal with it that might be potentially better than the old strategy is viewed as fake news by the left. The left clearly wants this to last forever (or until Trump is gone). Does covid cause mental illness, or is it something else?
