The politicians helped with it, they didn’t constantly wear masks with full face coverage all the time. They uncovered their own mouths to speak quite a number of times.

The Big Lie continues from the Washington Compost. One of the extremist lefts Big Lie tactics is to try to project their own mistakes onto others.

Just how short term doc they think our memories are?
How about all the Dem politicians virtue signaling about enjoying Chinese New Year celebrations in Chinatown so hey could call the President’s travel restrictions racist. Joe Biden himself called the travel ban on China racist.

Gee, that must mean they were concerned with Italy’s “Hug a Chinese Person” event, but I would not hold my breath for that one.

Fox News aligns it self more and more with the left...let’s be friends, let’s have cocktails together...then WashPo does this...who’d have thunk it?

How come Fauci escapes any blame?
The man has contradicted himself on everything he has ever said.
I heard him live on the Cats Round table tell John Catsimatidis that the virus was not a threat to the United States and we had nothing to worry about.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
What a load of rubbish!
So how come that the vast majority of coronavirus deaths happened in deep blue states and cities who mostly watch CNN MSDNC read the Washington Post, NewYork Times etc and hardly ever watched Fox News, if watching Fox News made coronavirus worse?
If anything, the exact opposite is the case.
Those who deep blue state lefties constantly watch CNN MSDNC etc ended up dying in far greater numbers than the deep red staters who have no time for CNN.
To: Morpheus2009
I watched Fauci at the podium right next to the President...day after day, day after day....and Fauci NEVER wore a mask until he got exposed.
Even then he said he only wears it when he's near people. Same with scarf lady.
But lets be real....these number jumps....are from the protests....those same folks who marched through the streets and then went to bars to celebrate their disruption of society.....and never wore masks.

I heard him live on the Cats Round table tell John Catsimatidis that the virus was not a threat to the United States and we had nothing to worry about. I heard that same interview. Fauci dismissed the Covid as, at most, a case of the sniffles.

Wow! This takes some nerve.
Fox News was the only network covering the White House briefings day after day.

To: Oldeconomybuyer
Those who relied on mainstream sources - the network evening newscasts or national newspapers that President Donald Trump constantly blasts as “fake news” - got an accurate assessment of the pandemic’s risks. Is that why New York State(where they love CNN and the New York Times) had the highest deaths per million on the entire planet?
To: Morpheus2009
The lib/commie press; the swamp is pulling out all the stops to make sure POTUS is defeated. There are calls now for Pres. Trump to resign. This suggests to me that Joe Biden's election is not as assured as Tucker Carlson and the lib/commie media say that it is.
All this hysteris snd these hysterical smears make me wonder if Pres. Trump's re election chances are as hopeless as the lib/commie media would have us believe it is.

I ran the numbers for my county last night. Our covid infection is 0.16% of the population, 152 cases in total. Just over 9% of the population have been tested. There have been 4 deaths, all with serious underlying conditions. The nursing home were hardest hit. Relatively speaking, this is like a slightly below average flu season where I live.
A number of people wear masks, few wear them correctly. Even fewer have effective masks. There are times when I go to the store that about 50% of the people are not wearing and masks at all.

Fox is infotainment. When I want real facts, I read and compare real data.
NEJM says masks are not useful against this virus. If you can smell through a mask, the virus can pass through.
We know DeWine (OH) has continuously lied to us. When asked to clarify whether new cases were actually multiple cases or multiple tests from one quarantined individual, he completely blew off Jack Windsor.
There is no trust in government officials on this SARS CoV-2
