"Trump ruined our economy and all for naught!" "Trump and his capitalism put millions out of work for nothing!"
If you haven't already heard this from the "mainstream media" (AKA "fake news"), you soon will. Fake news media, doing the bidding of their leftist and Democrat masters, have been trying to destroy Donald Trump with hoaxes since he announced his candidacy, or maybe ever since Trump first questioned Barack Obama's claim of being born in the U.S. The fake news first claimed that President Trump overreacted to COVID-19, then Trump was belittling COVID-19 and ignoring the experts, then Trump didn't act fast enough, and soon the fake news media will come full circle to proclaim that Trump hyped it all up and shut down the U.S. economy for nothing. For once, will the fake news media report something real? Will this be a scandal with some weight of truth, eating into the base that never bought the prior hoaxes?
As an expert in computer modeling and simulation, with some familiarity in epidemiology, I can assure you that the computer models upon which Trump has based his policies are absolute bunk. The real-world data from Wuhan (however much you want to believe it) and the Diamond Princess and other countries and cruise ships suggest that COVID-19 kills more of the people it infects (0.5% vs. 0.1%) but infects far fewer people than influenza (3% vs. 15%). There might have been 50,000 deaths in the U.S. if we had done absolutely nothing. The fake news media will have plenty of experts to back that up, and they will be reinforced with the final numbers, which might not even top 20,000, including the exaggerations.

The only reason it infects fewer people than the flu is because of the extraordinary measures taken.
Someone hacked auto correct?
I know you can set AC to filter out certain words. You can also substitute one word for a word of your own.
Or, at least you use to be able to.
“Bill Gates wants 2 BILLION LESS PEOPLE on the planet!! YOU and your family FIRST, creep!”
EXACTLY. Billygoat first.
Democrats were demonstrably screaming to shut everything down, right now!
It’s still going to be TRUMP LIED PEOPLE DIED come November.
I con’t imagine ANYONE who could do a better job. I am so thankful that Donald J. Trump is our president!
The Democrat-Communist Party is as dangerous as the China Disease.
What are you talking about? I said Trump did not ruin the economy. Geesh
That would’ve focused the minds of the Democrats, who would have had to take, you know, actual responsibility over whether to let the virus run its course or pass a clean bill to pay for the shutdown.
Congress failed in their duty to the Constitution.
They examined NOTHING to qualify the Usurper.
Obama is not a natural born citizen.
Being born here is insufficient.
Being the child of ONE citizen is insufficient.
Natural born citizens are born here of citizen parents and have ONE nationality.
Anyone born with more than ONE nationality is NOT NATURALLY an American.
YAWN. Seriously?
If you think more people are going to die from the “depression” than CV19, you are simply DELUSIONAL.
And if you want to talk “sheep”..Ostrich, much?
PS - I guess you missed all the stories about people in their 20s and 30s dying, and the hospitals that are beyond buckling under the load.
We just had a 24 year old from the county next to me die the other day from CV19. He just had his annual physical. NOTHING wrong with him - zero, zip, nodda.
Dropped dead in his parent’s living room, 12 days after starting to feel unwell.
The state would not test him..”not sick enough, no contact with known infected..no recent travel”. You get the idea.
And, as I’ve said at least a thousand times if I’ve said it once - the issue is not with fatalities - although we have plenty of those. The issue is TOTAL COLLAPSE of our h/c systems.
Here’s a text from a good friend of mine yesterday on that..
“Friend of ours is a RN at XXX. War Zone. People all over. No supplies. 10 on her staff at home battling COVID. Super stressed”.
Yeah, it’s “the flu” alright. NOT!!!!
You are funny. I’m surprised your heart hasn’t exploded, you get so worked up! Have a good night.
Did this happen in Michigan? Sorry to hear about it.
Yep - MI is the third worst state in the country. We’re getting absolutely HAMMERED here and our hospitals are in very rough shape. Plus, it’s been estimated we are at least 4-5 weeks from the “apex”.
Article out just this AM that the biggest health system (Beaumont) has over 1,500 nurses and other employees out due to symptoms consistent with CV19. A family member works there and is in a position to know exactly how many, and the “real” number is over 2,000 down.
Normally I wouldn’t bother posting the article, but since we seem to have so many deniers here who think I’m for some reason exaggerating things..
Second biggest system (Henry Ford Health) has more than *700* out, due to CV19.
If we’re in this kind of shape now, I can’t even imagine where we’ll be in 4-5 weeks.
I’m guessing that the many “it’s not so bad - what are you talking about?” posts are from people living in states that are not getting absolutely hammered like we, NY and NJ are..but guess what? EVERY state will get this this hard eventually as the spread continues..
I don’t think he ruined the economy. He needs to open commerce up.
