As U.S. coronavirus cases surged past 4 million on Thursday, the number of daily covid-19-related deaths surpassed 1,000 for the third consecutive day. More than 500 of the fatalities were recorded in Florida, California and Texas, where the novel coronavirus is spreading at alarming rates. “What we have right now are essentially three New Yorks with these three major states,” White House coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx said, a reference to the earlier epicenter of the U.S. outbreak.

We may be really wicked but Russia and China are too so I don’t think so.

Not even close.

Pure hyperbole.

I’ve been thinking about his actions a lot lately and I’ve come to the conclusion that he REALLY WANTS TO WIN in November and has somehow concluded (probably due to crappy counsel) that he needs to appease the moderates and left to get them to vote for him. So, he does a bunch of stupid stuff that would appeal to them and in turn, he’s turning the conservatives off.

“Try wearing a mask 10 hours a day at work”

OMG. I feel sorry for you. I have to wear one for 50 minutes twice a week for Physical Therapy, and it sickens me — and makes me light headed. I don’t know how you do it.

And they'll do what? Vote for Biden? Sit at home and not vote against Biden? A Biden win is an End of Civilization event. Trump knows he has wide latitude to piss us all off in search of more votes.

I'm just going to think ahead to how glorious a unshackled second term Trump is going to be.

“CDC has just told states to stop testing people who tested positive once and did a ten-day quarantine.”

True? I hadn’t heard that. If so, that’s great news!! They were testing the same people every day, and each positive test was counted as a separate case. (It helped their stats to instill fear in the sheeple, which worked for them.)

Pray for TX and FL. Always a good policy to pray for others. But not because the virus is rampant. It’s not.

I can only speak for me, but I’ll gleefully revote for him. I just feel a bit deflated and I guess I can sum it up by saying that in the 2016 race he was bold, confident and had a big FU for anyone that didn’t like what he was doing. Now...it seems like he’s 2nd guessing himself and not utilizing that core understanding he had.

Case in point, I saw just a few minutes ago, he apologized for some of his tweets!! WTH??

It’s the Mexicans and Central Americans coming over the border driving the numbers up.

“(Trump) has somehow concluded (probably due to crappy counsel) that he needs to appease the moderates and left to get them to vote for him.”

It does seem that way to me, too, and I don’t understand it. In 2016, he didn’t give a rat’s ass about appeasing the moderates and left. In fact, I think he enjoyed poking that bear. And it worked. I don’t understand why he doesn’t handle things the same way this time. But I guess he knows that the conservatives — his base — even if he’s turning them off to some extent, we still will vote for him. What would be our options, really?

Thanks, guys. Guess I missed that one.

Things should start looking up now that testing will be more honest.

It’s a very good sign actually. Trump apparently has someone inside the CDC now kicking ass and taking names. Earlier today they cited the declining death rate. That would never have happened before he did this.

and ‘deaths’. since they’ve been faking how people are dying and the media, albeit local media, is actually investigating their evil plot, we should see corrections and normalization of that as well.
