    I am thinking and I think trump is a *******n ****ing moron to tell us the reported mortality rate is a false number based on his hunch.

    You want to project confidence? Fine. You do it by arguing that the United States has the best healthcare in the world and is capable of providing a level of care that keeps the mortality rate lower. You do NOT call the WHO conclusion a false number based on a hunch.

    Also, trump explicitly is arguing that the numbers should be inflated.

    If you think the morality rate is 3x lower because there are unknown cases, then you are arguing that the infection rate is 3x HIGHER.

    Trump apparently was basing his hunch on known evidence discovered by science. It was known by everyone WHO was using faulty numbers from the start.

    Again, even if trump did have a sound justification for doubting the WHO conclusions and even if he were capable of articulating that theory without sounding like a ****ing moron, then it is STILL a ****ing dumb idea for the president to call the mortality rate from the WHO a "false number."

    Of course.

    But, when did Trump ever care about sounding like a Moron?

    You bring up Donald Trump and subjects that have nothing to do with him. Because you desperately want to talk about him like he's your boyfriend.

    Just I don't care about your boyfriend.

    Not everything is about you and your relationship with your boyfriend's Donald Trump.

    Quit trying to make that the case that's all that's all it means.

    Baroque for subjects in the world what's up with you and your boyfriend.

    The number of dead so far permits you to conclude that models about the future of the virus are wrong?

    Don't worry about what I'm trying to say read what I typed.

    If you can't comprehend English I can't help you I can't translate it into Klingon.

    Yes that and common sense.

    Models very often are incorrect. I've seen 100s of hurricanes models living where I do. There are 12-15 per storm easily. And they never match each other, sometimes 1 is correct of the 12-15 is correct and sometimes none of them are correct. Take models with a healthy big piece hunk of salt.

    The useless WHO, not to mention Plugs, criticized Trump for his wise China travel ban decision.

    He brought Donald Trump up in the discussion that had nothing to do with him. It's my way of belittling his obsession.

    If you cant make your point understood using English, definitely do not try to resort to Klingon.

    I said the biggest threat posed by trump's downplaying of the threat posed by the virus is to trump supporters because they are the ones most likely to believe he is telling them the truth.

    That's your point!? That trump has nothing to do with the mortality rate estimates offered by HHS? Even when their estimate came out right after Trump declared the WHO estimate a false number and the HHS estimate just so happens to match the hunch offered by Trump?

    Did you criticize trump for lying yesterday when he said everyone that needs a test is able to get a test?

    It's comical that he left is down to a virus being the only chance they have of not seeing Trump in the WH for 4 more years. Everything else they have tried has failed miserably. They have to attach blame for the virus on him.
