Biden to Trump on Coronavirus: "Follow The Science, Listen To The Experts, Do What They Tell You"
RCP video ^ | 4-5-2020 | Tim Hains

Posted on 04/05/2020 9:21:30 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

During an interview Sunday on ABC's "This Week," presidential candidate Joe Biden said that he would follow the CDC's new recommendation to wear a mask when in public and urged President Trump to do the same.

"I think it’s important to follow the science. Listen to the experts. Do what they tell you," Biden said.

"I don't think I'm going to be doing it," President Trump said Friday. "Wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens; I just don't see it."

"He may not like how he looks in a mask, but the truth of the matter is that, follow the science. That’s what they’re telling us," Biden said Sunday.

JOE BIDEN: Yes. Look, I think it's important to follow the science, listen to the experts, do what they tell you. It's, you know, you may not look -- he may not like how he looks in a mask, but the truth of the matter is that follow the science, that's what they're telling us.

"So, if I go out in public, and I have not gone to commercial places of late. I haven't gone to my local church, et cetera, there are no services actually, but my generic point is that you should follow the science."

I keep hearing this follow the science bullshit. Can anybody kindly point me to any time in human history when Sciences have it exactly right? For that matter, About eight weeks ago the science was saying it doesn’t spread from people to other people, and we have nothing to worry about.

Was Biden wearing a mask when he said that?

Gee, Joe. What IF they’re all communist-supporting RATS that want to see this bioweapon spread and cause more death and destruction for political purposes? What then, Joe? /s

Trump was extolling the possibilities of hydroxychloroquine, while the “experts” were saying “NOOOO!”, it’s unproven. Dr. “DOOM” Fauci doesn’t seem to like any cure or positive news.

As opposed to what he has done? Trump shut down the greatest economy in History and the country is under house arrest because he “listened to the scientists”. I’d say he did it Joe, would’t you?

Thank you, Leghair Joe. Now I don't have to look at that stretched out, Dr Frankenstein face.

The world just got better.

Where’s Bidens mask?
Does it have a frowny face on it to help social distancing?

Oh wait, Biden is too unhealthy to venture out of a bunker...

are “following the science” and “listening to the experts” the same thing?

At the end of this pandemic, will the combined flu + COVID-19 numbers be any different (better, worse, same?) from the flu numbers from other years?

A: “Why did you blow the horn? You scared everyone.”

B: “To keep the tigers away!”

A: “There are no tigers here!”

B: “You’re welcome.”

That was not “science” that said it could not be spread person to person - that was China and the WHO. China was attempting to “save face” and the WHO was trying to cram their nose further up their butts.

Most scientist not employed by government and who were familiar with virology were skeptical given the news coming from Wuhan, but by then it was too late.

What Joe is really saying is follow the SINOs(Scientists In Name Only) as they are the new Gods.

Trust God.

If PT wears a mask, everyone would know who he was. The ankle biters, not so much.

They desperately want a photo of Trump in a mask.

That’s NOT leadership Joe. That’s being a lemming. It’s horrific to think that is all you would do as POTUS.

What is lacking is an economic model that can estimate the damage from the lock-down that will likely translate to deaths due to a depression. Then intersect this with the medical model. Once the economic model becomes worse than the medical one it’ll be impossible to justify the lock-down. Even if the economic model is projecting to being higher, don’t wait for it if we can see it’s going to happen.

...I’ve no idea if something like this is being done.
