    No he did not.....he continued to allow millions to travel to and from infected areas of Europe.

    Most readily available treatment ?.i,e malaria meds which science disavows and Lysol ?

    Another attempt at rewriting history...

    Trump was correct about what ? Only, that “you can fool some of the people all of the time.”

    Thank you for explaining why this virus does not have a mortality rate of greater than 50%. Jesus ****ing Christ.

    The only people I see panicking is people who don't have a clue what is going on.

    Most people are acting logically; wearing masks to help prevent spreading it, social distancing, disinfecting. Even the people marching are mostly wearing masks and social distancing.

    Grow a pair and join the logical, rational, science-based world.

    Actually, when I go to the supermarket (which is almost every day), the majority of customers are not wearing masks. (All of the grocery personnel are; they have apparently been instructed to do so.)

    There is no evidence of "social distancing" there.

    But the left prefers to attitudinize (the final paragraph is indicative of this), rather than to attempt to make a serious point.

    ~ If masks are effective we would not see so many flu deaths this season. The type of mask we use makes a difference.

    It doesn’t have a higher mortality rate because of hospital treatment. The rate goes up dramatically when hospitals can’t treat everyone. That’s what they are worried about....that and the MANY HOSPITAL CARETAKERS, NURSES AND DOCTORS WHO HAVE DIED ALSO.

    Not a concern of the right, till they have to go to the hospital for another reasonS, then shake in their boots cause they stand an increased chance of catching it there.

    (1) I was not in my vehicle when I first read this.

    (2) Why would you imagine that "shade sails" would be necessary, in order to prevent "hyperventilating"?

    (This does not really seem like a serious response.)

    Well, when you feel that you are able to respond seriously to my posts, please feel free to do so.

    If you simply cannot do so, then I would suggest that you can always place me on "Ignore"...

    Speaking of masks.
    Trump again refuses to wear a mask while visiting a swab manufacturing plant in Maine. Protocol says they all must be discarded in area where Trump was......because he refuses to wear a mask. What a guy.....where Trump goes, nothing grows.

    Knowing that, it’s time to end the charades and reopen businesses.

    That's an absurd standard. A highly contagious virus that kills even 10% would be absolutely insane and virtually impossible to operate normally.

    My vested interest is the re-opening of our society. I will do whatever I need to - and will encourage others to do the same - so that we can safely re open and get back to normal. If, right now, that means we wear masks, I'm all for it. If it means I have to wait in my car for the dentist, I'll do it. I haven't yet been asked to hack off an arm or leg - but listening to some, you'd think we have!

    This virus isn’t as deadly as initially thought. It will further prove the point to reopen businesses if none of these protesters get infected, if not form a solid argument to hold large gatherings. If we are that worried, you isolate the most susceptible and leave the rest of us alone.

    If we spent even half the time we do oppressing people, we could very well be halfway or more toward a vaccine by now.

    It was right after cases started to appear in South Korea and Italy and right about the same time that US infectious disease experts were telling the country that an outbreak in the US was inevitable.

    Trump immediately contradicted that health expert by saying that he didn't believe an outbreak was inevitable.

    And others most affected in urban areas, those other people we are supposed to love too. I know you care about them too, just saying. The vested interest of a citizen is in "all lives matter."

    We are already seeing spikes due to reopening. Get with the program and learn what is going on before spewing your nonsense.

    The Mediocre Stream Media is again carrying on like chickens with their heads removed, but the people are not going to buy in a second time. No matter what.

    It's a riot.

    How about because in a couple of months we will have 200,000 dead. WFT is wrong with people?

    Rioters are being arrested. What are you talking about?
