    So we shouldn't even try. We should in fact, egregiously neglect well-known and easily implemented measures which have and are working well in other countries and let MILLIONS die unnecessarily.

    This pandemic is becoming Trump's way of getting rid of all the elderly and the "weak" who have compromised immune systems, the old White Nationalist dream ensuring that only the strong and vigorous remain to aid the Master Race in taking over the world.

    Instead of Death Camps we have hospitals.

    It does appear that Trump doesn't mind losing one of his biggest bases of support...retirees.

    I can't believe they would vote for him given that...

    Not that he cares about their vote after this election but...

    No not obvious at all. He can’t force people to wear masks legally. He can’t control or enforce local laws. He’s given states any resource they need to combat it. He’s given companies any resource they need to develop a vaccine.

    There is really nothing else he can do.

    You mean like tests and PPE?

    Why is there still shortages of those then?

    There's been 1.1 million deaths....AROUND THE WORLD.(That is, grand total.)

    In the US, there's been 230,235 deaths. Now, don't get this twisted. One death alone is a tragedy, as they say, hundreds of thousands or millions becomes a gruesome statistic.

    But the point is, is that everyone is struggling with this. Lockdowns or no lockdowns, masks or no masks. The difference has been negligible at best. It's why I want Biden to win now, so that people can truly see that the crying and wailing over this has been meaningless.

    What has he done to prevent tests from being developed as fast as possible? You can’t intelligently claim Trump is responsible for people not getting tests until you can prove his actions have actually prevented companies from developing them as quickly as they can.

    I can get a test in an hour if I want from multiple locations.

    Oh. The hub of world travel perhaps? Or do you think people move in and out of New Zealand like they do the center of the planet. Yeah. That’s Us.

    And we have no idea how many have died in China or India. None at all. Millions could have died there for all we know. Sale with Mexico and S.America.

    Sooner or later everyone will contract Covid. Most will NEVER know.

    Unfortunately the rest of the world has witnessed our fall, from the penthouse to the cellar.

    Trump suffers from the bane of entitlement, laziness. It’s rather foolish to expect him to raise to a challenge like the virus.

    So I'm assuming you've changed your views after you were upset at the Woodward tapes ..

    It's kind of amazing how people can interpret something that's never been said or implied. No, I very much wish the President told us what he knew, when he knew it at the time. What I'm saying is that this hand-wringing is both pointless and meaningless.

    It's clear what we have to do, wash our hands, stay away from those who are ill(or even if they're not ill, just out of an abundance of caution), etc. But even doing all of that(and more than a handful of people have done that), sometimes it's just not going to be enough.

    I understand why Biden/Harris have to do it, they've chosen it as a political platform. However the challenge for them, once they get into Oval Office is that they'll get the same criticism, only harsher because they implied that Orange Man Bad is the only reason it was ever bad.

    It literally is people screaming out "do something", but nothing that can be done can ebb the tide of this. The major difference between the Spanish flu and what we're dealing with now, is that we've become an instant gratification society. So we think we can just push a button out of the problem.

    Sorry, that's not reality. The reality is, there's only a few select people who are actually waging war against the coronavirus and not only haven't they quit, they've made steady progress since the virus first plagued the earth. The biologists and chemists who are working on treatments around the clock.

    Those are the people that matter. They don't have press conferences and they're not even paid a bunch of salary. They're the thankless workers who, with their effort we will one day return to normal. It is these people, who do it not for the glory or for the position but because it's the right thing to do, that I celebrate.

    Wow just wow....

    You dont think Trumps joking about mask wearing going lots of places affected his supporters view and thereby lax attitude on the pandemic? That in of its self goes clearly beyond orange man bad. It's what your focused on that tells a picture and it's clear that after a melt down about the Woodward tapes you're now playing defense for Trump

    Lefties expect the federal government to read bed time stories to them after tucking them into bed every night.

    We shouldn't even try to control it. Ignore it and live your life. Sure, make some vaccines, but don't pause life until they come out. If you die, you die. Better luck next time. Everybody dies.

    All I've ever wanted from it is for it to stop trying to do my most important job for me.
