Yes, maybe COVID will just disappear after the elections just like those pesky scary caravans did after the 2018 elections.

It's not just about killing sick old people, it's about causing permanent health damage to otherwise healthy people with no underlying issues, including children. The virus is shortening lifespans across the board.
Yes but what more can be done.

Biden a couple of months ago stated mask would be mandatory if he wins. But yesterday his handlers changed their mind. And back tracked.
This will be the problem with Biden. He should not say anything unless he confirms it with his handlers first.
The whole reason they have not allowed him to talk much.
And said he would only make them mandatory for himself and staff. Not to the general public. That will be left to the states like Trump setup.

I still don't get why this is happening.

Pretty sick. That's screwing over your own citizens for political reasons. You have businesses that are shuttering and the politicians don't give a damn. When the election is over, COVID-19 will be less of a big deal. Watch.
If President Trump wins big on election night 2020, coronavirus won't be going anywhere soon. I expect it to be around for at least another two - three solid years if President Trump wins. Now if Biden wins, it will wrap up faster then an episode of The Rifleman.

Trump does care, but he can only control his own country. As long as the virus is out of control, and the social disorder (riots) threaten society, no civilized countries want people from the USA in their countries. Allowing people from the USA into Canada or the EU puts those countries at risk of both virus and violence.

The virus will not vanish in November, and the borders will not open in November. The USA has to get its house in order first, then the virus will disappear.

That would be wonderful if it went away on November 4th. I've lost thousands of dollars over it.

President said it was a hoax and would be gone by spring.

Now we find out he knew it was a major threat for the country, but did not want it to reflect poorly on him so chose to act like it didn’t exist. Try telling that to the nearly 200,000 people that have died from it, the millions that are unemployed, and all the people have lost the dream of their business.

Such a major setback for the country, all on Stumps watch. History will remember his action and Americans will never forget.

Good point.
Americans where never going to following any rules much.
Like Libs want to just talk. Complain that it is all Trumps fault. But at the same time are worse at following any of the rules. Politics and power are much more important tan something like the virus.

Very easy to watch the Libs say how bad it is and we should do more. Just to make the disaster seem bigger. Since they do even less. Must be a reason.

This was something the whole country should have worked together on. And put politics aside.
But with the constant war against Trump this was never going to happen. I mean really, when Trump did a travel ban from China. Libs fought that and did the opposite of what they should of. They encourage people to actually go out more, not less.


We dont even think criminals should follow any rules when the police tell them to do something.

Yes, he is the president though thinks Obama is still in charge. LOL

Past 4 years are on his watch, record unemployment, record deficit, solely acted on things that have benefited his bank account and family, nothing for the average consumer.
