ReplyDeleteT, unfortunately this link deserves a look too:
ReplyDeleteDr. Birx predicts up to 200,000 U.S. coronavirus deaths 'if we do things almost perfectly'
ReplyDeleteTony are you having a doughnut attack. There sure has been a lot of promotions for doughnuts lately.
Read the NBC article...a doctor said, a retired sheriff said...a prisoner said. The article is so overly slanted anyone not consumed by partisan politics can see through the veiled attempt to discredit trump and sensationalize the virus.
ReplyDeleteLinks to two NYC hospital videos - one where the hospital is deserted, no ER room full of waiting virus victims - the other some bodies with no information regarding there prexting conditions age etc.
There is a third video a nurse outside a hospital claiming it was over run this video was debunked by that hospital that fired that nurse for over stating the situation.
Every one of the make shift hospitals are empty. Coumo sitting on 10s of thousands of ventilators in storage.
Stating the number of infected is meaningless because about 85% never even know it or have very mild symptoms, mostly only the already sick die or have life threatening symptoms.
This is media and dem wet dream - stay glued to your TV.
Impeached Whoremonger who screwed up the handling of the one big Crisis of his term - wonder who that President will be in History?
ReplyDelete^^Gee, I don't Numbnuts. Suppose you tell us.
ReplyDelete^^^ Normal People already figured it out, @8:42.
ReplyDeleteTry harder!
8:38, the one who was opposed by a wad of sociopaths even more inept than he was, so he got re-elected anyway. Thank you, Democrats. by the way, Dumbass, "History" is often wrong.
ReplyDelete@8:24-Sorry, not sorry, we don’t listen to chud’s who get their information from Alex Jones. You aren’t smart enough to comment on this virus. Hell, you aren’t smart enough to tie your shoes. Go do something else chud. Take your phony stats and made-up narratives elsewhere. We are all full up on retards here.
ReplyDeleteSo angry from the clown suit! Lol

ReplyDeleteWhen the performance artist was asked her secret for hunkering down over long periods of time, she gave a 1-word reply...SYBIAN!!!
Fuck New York City, you think any of those cocsuckers would come help us if we needed any? A city ran and full of democratic scumbags all looking for a free ride on your dollar.
ReplyDeleteTravis Kelce is our very own Dude.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the latest data of the Italian National Health Institute ISS, the average age of the positively-tested deceased in Italy is currently about 81 years. 10% of the deceased are over 90 years old. 90% of the deceased are over 70 years old.
ReplyDelete80% of the deceased had suffered from two or more chronic diseases. 50% of the deceased had suffered from three or more chronic diseases. The chronic diseases include in particular cardiovascular problems, diabetes, respiratory problems and cancer.
Less than 1% of the deceased were healthy persons, i.e. persons without pre-existing chronic diseases. Only about 30% of the deceased are women
The Italian Institute of Health moreover distinguishes between those who died from the coronavirus and those who died with the coronavirus. In many cases it is not yet clear whether the persons died from the virus or from their pre-existing chronic diseases or from a combination of both.
The few dozen test-positive Swiss deaths so far were also high-risk patients with chronic diseases, an average age of more than 80 years and a maximum age of 97 years, whose exact cause of death, i.e. from the virus or from their pre-existing diseases, is not yet known.
Furthermore, studies have shown that the internationally used virus test kits may give a false positive result in some cases. In these cases, the persons may not have contracted the new coronavirus, but presumably one of the many existing human coronaviruses that are part of the annual (and currently ongoing) common cold and flu epidemics.
Yeah let's destroy the economy for this so the dems can have a chance with biden.
8:24 - you're right, it's all a made up hoax by the Democrats, that's what we were told months ago. Then it was just going to miraculously disappear. Then it was just a minor thing, people get it, they recover. Now, Trump tells us 200,000 will probably die from it but his admin is doing a great job. I mean, people die everyday from lots of stuff, so what's the big deal.
ReplyDeleteNow, the RNC message is Trump failed to get his shit together months ago on this because he was under impeachment. Like he can't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time. We know this, Trump can deal with impeachment and golf. He did a lot of that. He can hold campaign rallies and deal with impeachment. He just can't be expected to do any meaningful work while under impeachment apparently.
It's like I've said before, we can have policy differences all day. That's normal. But every President before this guy, surrounded themselves with smart fucking people who you farm the heavy lifting to. This guy, he thinks he knows everything and hates science. So, here we are.
Look, it's time to shake the fixation on Trump. Did he fuck up? Yep. So did all levels of government in multiple administrations, the sheer bureaucracy of the CDC and the FDA, not to mention the shameful WHO and above all the lying, totalitarian Chinese government that's even now trying to hide the evidence that more than 40k people died there and who gave birth to the whole contagion in the first place.
DeleteThere's more than enough bipartisan blame to go around. Pelosi was begging people to congregate in Chinatown in February, and Mayor DeBlasio in New York was blowing the whole thing off at the same time.
So you can have hate Trump parties all day long. You can get pumped up with highly selective outrage. Or you can be like some of the rest of us and realize it's time to concentrate on making it through the crisis.
10:18 is one of those old school Republican pro-lifers apparently. Man, hope everyone in your family is 100% healthy, else you'd just as soon kill them off to keep the economy humming.
ReplyDelete10:22
ReplyDeleteYou hate Trump, okay we get that.
So nothing Trump does will be right in your eyes, okay we get that also.
You also act like every little thing that happens is all Trump's fault, and that's a typical haters stance so yes we get that as well.
Okay we get it you hate Trump but you had to write a whole long ass rant telling us how you hate Trump when all you had to say was, "I Hate Trump." See how simple that is and so much faster than typing out a lot of things that well sorry you just can't prove.
How about this, tell me who you are and where you work. I will call the owner of that business and ask him to make your life is a living hell every hour of the day filled with hate and lies seven days a week. I will then follow your every move and post pictures claiming you crapped your pants or have head lice if I see you scratching your head. After 3 years of such activity lets see if it has in any way affected your life?
So just STFU, we get it, you hate Trump!
^^We understand that you’re lonely and desperate for attention. We also realize you’re retarded. Please refrain from ever posting again. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteHanna honey, if your implants are too heavy for you to be able to stand up, maybe you should consider going back to your natural 35 AA size!
^^^^No 10:45 makes one hell of a lot of sense while what you said as usual is a whole lot of nothing as "YOUR" life is. They say the first step to identifying you have a mental issue is to admit such. Your posts all day long serve up all the proof needed that you are in serious need of many years of professional help.
ReplyDelete^^You talk too much and think anybody is listening. Weird.
ReplyDelete10:45 and the 8 years of hate and lies spread about Obama were a walk in the park. Look go to church, get some holy water from Baker, attend some classes with Billy Graham's retarded son, do what your dear leaders are telling you when not behind the podium. Please oh Please do, combined with the morons who have gone to jail following their dear leader, the Dems will win by attrition.
ReplyDeleteSo, we're not supposed to be pissed or hate the guy who is supposed to be leading the country, the CEO of the country, per se, spent multiple months ignoring intelligence, downplaying a very real problem with very real consequences (ie death), has flat out made excuses and blamed everyone else, and has constantly lied to us day after day? All while he had rallies calling it part of the new Democratic hoax, tweeted his usual bullshit, and golfed.
ReplyDeleteGot it man.
I'd be probably give the guy a little bit of a pass if he just came out and said, "I apologize, we dropped the ball and I'm ultimately responsible." But that's a pipe dream because we all know narcissists don't operate that way.
This is a running issue with his administration. Everything good, it's because of him. Everything bad, it's because of someone else. Gee whiz, can't imagine why anyone would hate a guy like that.
1022 Not saying it's a hoax, obviously a lot of ppl are getting sick and even dying.
ReplyDeleteThe point retard is that it not so bad as to crash the entire economy. The ppl who need to be quarantined are not the young or healthy hard working ppl with families to support, but those who are high risk - namely the old and already sick.
INB4 the you must be sooo lonely retard...come at me with a thoughtful response not some lame juvenile non-sequitur.
11:46, excellent comment.
ReplyDeleteReporter: What are the consequences of not following social distancing guidelines?
ReplyDeleteGovernor: Your grandfather will die.
If you don't care, you're probably a Republican, so Jesus will forgive you.
12:12 - are you a doctor or epidemiologist? there's a reason doctors and other experts are recommending everyone stay home. so let's say we use your plan and the virus continues to spread, just not to Grandma and Grandpa who are sheltering. what happens when you get a lot of sick people flooding the hospital? young people do get sick with this, many severely. there's only so many hospital beds to handle sick people before the system is overwhelmed and then, boom, people start dying for lack of treatment.
ReplyDeleteSo maybe you ought the shelve your plan and let the adults make the recommendations, retard.
12:50 maybe you should broaden your information base from other than the msm which is in full fear monger anti trump mode - there are plenty of doctors and health professionals who advocate exactly what i wrote. There are even whole nations - japan and sweden who are not quarantining at all.
ReplyDeleteHospital are designed to make maximum profit and have only just enough beds to handle the regular load - they become full every flu season every year, some years there are even news stories about how people should not go to the hospital because they are too full.
^^Dude, stop. You’re too fucking dumb to speak to this with even a modicum of intelligence. It’s clear everything that spews from your diseased lips you parroted from Faux News. Go back there and learn some new talking points. Don’t bother coming back here.
ReplyDelete^^^^ awwww chimpy, so lonely at the zoo today but don’t worry, keep practicing your poo flinging and poo eating skills and one day people will come back for all your monkey shines and life will be great again! Hahahahaha!
ReplyDelete^^I bet if you get on your knees and beg him to reply to you, he might reply. Do it loser.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^So funny a group of losers who think they know how best to run the country. One who happens to be a loser in WV and never held a real job and demands we the real workers in this country keep doing so. Do you sign your whole welfare check over to a local needy group every month Byron? Hell no you don't ya loser. You other fools which I think is only two maybe three assholes who are as bad as Byron as in having no job, want free rent and medical care.
ReplyDelete7400 plus die a day in America and this flu bug is no where close to causing that many deaths. Hell hasn't killed that many in past 6 months in America.
First you want the feds running your health care then you don't want the Feds running your health care make up your stupid minds. Basically the only ones wanting the Feds to run health care are those who don't want to pay for it.
Every time Trump tries to put a ban on anything some Democratic asshole judge over rules it. Trump isn't doing any worse on handling this than any other country is or has. In many ways he has done a better job of it.
^^^I believe you were told to go away chud. Nobody believes anything coming from big mouth. Quit trying to convince us. The only thing you’ve convinced us of is you’re a retard.
ReplyDeleteIntellectual Pygmies, all of you who push your hate filled agendas. Multiple point, counterpoints resulting in nothing more than frothing of the mouth and name calling. Tired old hate and blame games played out on every thread no matter what the topic. Yet you'll jump right over reasonable comments to eagerly re-engage your pissing contests.
ReplyDeleteAs you were.
^^^You new here dummy? There is nothing of consequence or substance to be be found here. This place solely exists so geezers can spew hate anonymously. That’s it. The only redeeming thing on this blog are the people who smash their skulls daily. So figure out which side you’re on or be gone!
ReplyDelete5:12PM
ReplyDeleteThree words in, then dummy? Your lack of social skills would not last long outside your mother's basement or trailer. Are you still in school where you have to choose up sides? Grow up you immature rude prick.
^^^You keep responding as if anyone is listening or interested in anything you have to say. Dummy.
