    Donald's fence builders under foreman Mike will chisel Lincoln away by hand and make a Trump head out of it. :(

    If that happens, America will be ultimately finished. I hope that never happens and America recovers soon from the Trump Flu.

    I'm having a hard time believing this is true. He has access to the best doctors. They certainly have been following along and know the treatments. What possible reason for their confusion over what to do?

    I hope you're being sarcastic because this will never happen. Oh, and the sky will remain up there. It won't fall.

    "A preventative is not am impenetrable barrier, genius"
    So is HCQ a preventative then? You clearly cannot keep your story straight

    Okay.

    No it doesn't. People are getting it whether they follow the guidelines or not... People are not getting it whether they follow the guidelines or not...

    No.

    No. Seatbelts work in making injuries resulting from accidents less severe.

    No.

    No, it isn't. Even driving while tired or distracted or angry is not safe to do.

    It’s unbelievable, isn’t it?
    What’s depressing is that with so many ignorant people running around, a demagogue like trump has a good chance of winning.

    Reduces, reduces, reduces.
    Stop saying will not stop. Nobody disagrees but it completely misses the point.

    This is the 6th or 7th time I've seen someone use this exact phrase.
    MSDNC must have had the talking points read to go.

    There are competing protocols. I've looked into the MATH+ one, the Duke one, the Yale one, and another one recently developed by a hospital in Orlando, Florida, that is relatively similar to the MATH+ with some important differences (e.g., they recommend early azithromycin while the MATH+ doesn't). So it is conceivable that people are debating which one to follow as different protocols may have different advocates for them. I find the MATH+ much better. My concern is with speed. They should start a protocol and keep discussing and if they want to change it fine, but don't waste any time, dammit! I hope they are NOT wasting time. I mean, that's a journalist's take and we know that one, they misunderstand a lot, and two, they have agendas. So likely Trump's doctors have already started him on at least one of the protocols and they keep discussing the subsequent course which is fine. I hope some idiot is not trying to give him hydroxychloroquine!!!

    What will Donald's commander Vlad Pootin say about the fact that his best agent is temporarily out of business? He won't like it, I guess.

    I get what you are saying, but they should have been preparing for this all along. They saw him standing close to people without masks. This is a very serious dropping of the ball.

    They should have been meeting as a team, at least weekly, to update the plan based on new information. Hashing it out now shows a total lack of preparation.

    So that's it for you then? You are going to wear a mask the rest of your life, or are you going to wait until a untested vaccine is rushed out! Don't you think it would have been "knowing todays survival rates" to have just contracted the virus like any other and be "Now" protected by your own immune system..

    I don't know, as I stated, it was absolutely the worst/longest flu I'd had but I never felt as if I were going to die.. Took all the usual crap syrups and even NSAID during the whole time and being more honest they I like to be, I would/should have been one of those people that couldn't/shouldn't have survived!!!

    Personally! Blame whatever party you want, but a huge dishonest game was played on the people of this country.. Where I think we went wrong is hiding from the more survivable CORONA/LITE version when people should have contracted it and acclimated their immune systems to that version, in which case would have prepared the body for the mutations that came later! Now people face a much deadlier strain and have even less/weaker immune system from over sterilization and avoidance to everyday pathogens that reinforce our immune systems..

    It seems I’m not the only one who thought that this could be another trump stunt. We shall see.

    He sent a telegram.

    It is reported that nobody can see Putin in person until they have done a 14-day quarantine. If true, it means Putin understood just fine, and took it seriously.

    Were you forced to get an H1N1 flu shot while Obama was POTUS?

    But, he's the POTUS. His actions/inactions matter. Beyond that, there is a marked difference between voluntarily not wearing a mask and making fun of someone else for choosing to wear one.

    English is not gibberish, but maybe it appears that way to someone who speaks Liberal.

    I am stoooopid, so please educate me. What about what I said was wrong and why was it wrong?

    Here let me ask you a question. Specifically how does this virus spread?
    You seem to think the virus is airborne but its not.

    Yes, but even if they have already prepared for the eventuality, that's exactly what a moron like Scott Atlas may try to interfere with. Maybe the doctors want to plow ahead with one of the reputable protocols and that idiot is putting pressure on them to do something different for political reasons. "Give him HCQ, then if he recovers we'll be able to say how great HCQ is, it saved the president! It will be good for the campaign!" I confess that this guess is as bad as a conspiracy theory but it's not unheard of. That idiot the Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro did precisely that: got Covid-19 and took HCQ (which could have killed him but didn't) and then touted that HCQ saved him and he was right about touting it (two of his health ministers were fired within the same month because Bolsonaro wanted to force them to tout HCQ and they refused).

    Actually they will force COMPANIES to do it.. They will say all essential and people in the public sector "Food Servers, retail" must be vaccinated or they can't work, do that job.. Those folks will be the guinea pigs :(

    So this just in. The president was supposed to get on the phone with a group of senior citizens, to discuss Medicare and other senior issues. He has cancelled. I wonder if he's sicker than we are being told.​
