No they are not. Anyone who is still arguing this cannot be on the level.

This young man would vote for Donald in Nov. My daughter I don't know....and me a lifelong Dem, I don't know....but I would not vote for Donald. Are we permitted to do a "write in"...

If this was all planned out, the damage done will take years to reverse or get back to prosperity for all...hard to believe it was planned, but I'm wondering.

I don't care to read a bunch of links, a simple Yes or No and maybe a few words from this Very Vocal Group.
No, it was not a plan to get rid of Trump. Covid isn't political.

Sure they are.

If you look at the distance of particles projected with breathing/coughing without wearing a mask vs wearing one, it is clearly less with one.

It is 20% real, 50% hysteria, and 30% fraud.

It is basically a strong flue that finishes off people with pre-existing conditions, usually three or more. It was absolutely not worth destroying the economy for, as people who have emphysema, diabetes, etc. can self-quarantine. The problems of a woman trying to figure out how to feed her three kids, or a middle-aged couple losing their twenty year business is more more real and immediate.

And yes, it is the ****bag left that is pushing the fraud.
Covid isn't political. It's running rampant through our country, regardless of age. Many hospitals are at or near capacity in their ICUs. People have long term health effects from it. So no, no one is using Covid. It doesn't need anyone's help.

The virus is real, but has been politicized to try and take Trump out.

Commissioned by a Deepstater/the Deepstate, created in a lab..............would not
surprise me in the least.

Remember 9-11, all those very fishy Jihadists shockingly "managed" to get into
the USA under highly questionable circumstances?????

People are hurting financially and people are dying. The economy is in shambles with millions out of work and some jobs will never come back. They say welcome to the new normal where if you don't do as they say you will die.



Trump slowed travel from China early on and he was called a racist for it yet he saved lives.



The virus is still playing out. There has been mistakes and missteps over the past several months including from the experts at the CDC the WHO and if Fauci ever wanted to change careers he would make a terrific weatherman but who gets ALL the BLAME? Trump. Who is blaming him? The Democrats and their media.

Never let a good crisis go to waste.
Ever heard of the saying The buck stops here ?
A President is supposed to Lead and take charge of a crisis and be held accountable.
If you don't want a President to be held accountable during a crisis then why have a President at all?
Or do you only want them held accountable when it's a President that you oppose?

Hmm...wonder who said this once:

"Leadership: Whatever happens, you're responsible. If it doesn't happen, you're responsible."

And I'm very glad your wife recovered.
Thank you.

In Jan I went to Big Sky where they have the heated 8 seaters with that blue hood you can pull down. Talk about risk now! We docs were still basically poo-pooing the virus back then. And then we got some sick Canadians, one with respiratory risk factors ending up in the ICU. I got really sick a few days later thinking this was really it! But out of 9, all tested neg. And my immuno-compromised wife did not get sick from me. So this only strengthened my denial. Until Beaver in March.
