So after 100 thousand Americans have died, we know whose fault all of this is.

    No! It's Trump's! And he dropped the ball.

    But if you want to appoint Dr. Fauci to the Presidency, I'm sure he would do an enormously better job than Trump has.... Not only on this virus. On everything!

    Of course, that's not a very high bar, because a 12 year old in the Honor Roll of any school in the country would probably also do a much better job.

    You all realize that if one posted a thread called 'Cuomo murders thousands of nursing home residents' that it would be taken down in a heartbeat and the poster banned. But one can post threads and/or respond to threads calling President Trump everything and it stays up. Flamebait and other BS as long as it denigrates PRESIDENT Trump is given a pass.

    Why is that?

    Is this the first time the government has let the people down and failed to do its job?

    Negative.

    You don't know the difference between "came from" and "originated"?

    How could I explain this at you level. I know! You see... Obama "originated" in Kenya where he was born. But when he became President and moved to Washington he "came from" Chicago.

    I'm sure that should clarify it for you and all Trump loyalists nicely...

    But he also came from Kenya. The Virus came from China. Regardless of the play on words, it came from China. No telling where it actually originated.

    Only the first time that "failure" has cost 100 thousand American lives. Probably twice that when all this is over. Not to mention an economic depression.

    Ok... So let's say the explanation is clear enough "for any Trump loyalist to understand" except you... and Kanye West.

    I was born in Missouri. Between the military and civilian life, I have lived in a dozen or more locations. My last home before here was Colorado. If someone asks me where I am from, I am from Missouri even though I have lived in a other places longer than Missouri and I haven't lived in Missouri in over sixty years. "Came from" does not necessarily mean the last location or the first location. It is however it is used at the time.

    I am not sure what argument you are trying to win, but the virus came from China. It might have passed trough other locations before it got to wherever it is, but at some time it came from China. It possibly came from somewhere else to China depending on whether they consider mutations of the virus to be the same virus since we are seeing mutations of Covic-19 in the US.

    my question for the OP is related to hand gestures being interpreted as “racist” or “ominous” or “taxi” or “ Hey, lets do Chinese Buffet, I pay” and the OP has said “context” determines which one it is.

    So was wondering what the OP thinks President Xi Pooh Bear hand up in the air means?

    3.4% of the people that normally die in a year.
    Mostly comprised of people with a high probability of death on any given day.

    That's 3.4% in just 5 months and we're not even half way through the year. That number would've been a whole lot higher if we didn't took the precautions we did. However, it would've been lower had we took it more seriously.

    Dead wrong if course and utterly pointless even if true since the European Covid came from China originally as well. And what strain you've got us large a function of which coast you live on. By the way if it was to late for the travel ban to matter then it was way to late for the lock down to matter.

    It peaked and blew through


    Show that what we did made any demonstrably significant difference.



    Sure, every single citizen could have locked themselves in their homes and never left for any reason.

    Sure, if you ignore the vast majority of all the deaths happened in only 8 states.

    The rest of them have less than 50 deaths per million people.

    Exactly.
    Plus:
    Our lockdown consisted of tens of millions of "essentials" interacting with each other as well as tens of millions of nonessential consumers every day. All went home to their families who went out to interact with tens of millions of other essential workers and consumers.

    This thing is so widespread that further distancing measures are nothing but political fodder for the cowering idiots.

    Because of the measures we took.

    Ideally yes but that's impractical.

    "Happened"? Extremely naive to think that Covid 19 is done with us.

    And dismissing Covid 19 because most deaths have SO FAR happened in 8 states is as detestable as dismissing 9-11 because all the deaths happened in "only" 3 states.
