Poor equivalency. Most of the cancer deaths are tobacco related. If quitting smoking could keep you from getting cancer, would you quit?
I have a friend dying from esophageal cancer right now. She smoked for over 40 years. My dad died of lung cancer. He had his last cigarette just before they drugged him unconscious to die. You have to let the high risk cases eliminate themselves. It's their life. They can play Russian roulette and die if they want. I hate that my father and friend wouldn't quit smoking and killed themselves, but I wasn't going to fight them about it.
Let them die. It's their business. If you have to keep your distance and let them die alone, that's how it works.
It wasn't my equivalency, it was the OP's. Tell it to him. I agree it's a stupid analogy.
Pandemics have been plaguing mankind for 1000's of years, just like cancer. Trump did not make this happen. Therefore, blaming him for a force of nature that's older than man seems rather silly.
He's off message, always. He has no plan - he contradicts. The Pandemic Threat was in his threat brief in January. He was asleep at the wheel. People came in from China and Europe before he did anything. He lied to us about the seriousness. He continues to contradict his experts. He needs blame. He's the president. It's in his job description.
My guess is, if they tested positive for Covid-19, their death possibly would be blamed on Trump.
The 2nd sentence truly baffles me.
One thing Covid has brought to light is how poorly aware Republicans/conservatives are in regards to how death certifications are filled out and have been filled out since time immemorial.
It will be much higher this year and the next few years given the amount of people who haven't sought medical attention during the pandemic closures. A lot of undiagnosed cancer and other disease out there. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/2...from-the-virus
