Seven dead, dozens infected after 'superspreader' wedding in rural U.S.

Cant fix stupid.

attended by 65 people, breaking the official limit of 50 allowed at a gathering.

Hey, if the president can do it, why can't we?

Likely Trump supporters with that low level of IQ.

If the idiocy of the COVID-deniers was not clear before, then I hope it is now.

"No worse that flu"

"Hoax"

"It's death with COVID not death by COVID"

"The economy"

"Biden"

"Fauci"

"Some doctors..."

We're now on Day #4 - and not one Trump supporter will explain or defend the below....I guess because it's indefensible....

In summary, Trump acknowledges in Feb and Mar the virus is "a killer", "deadly", it "rips you apart", it's "highly contagious - airborne", "it's the plague"....yet he held 19 rallies since then with no distancing and masks...

He also acknowledged in Mar that the virus isn't just affecting old people, it's "young people too - plenty of young people". But then in May he says to open schools because; "it has very little impact on young people"....

Trump supporters?

Everybody can compile contex-less snippets to make someone else look bad. You can do the same with Biden, only the media never does it.

Fact is, Trump followed the advice of Fauci and Birx. What else would you demand him to do?

The point where he eventually deviated is that he correctly recognizes that you can not shut down the economy forever.

It's not without context. We know exactly what Trump has been saying and doubt throughout the pandemic. In this case he was demonstrating that he had knowledge about the dangers of COVID that he wasn't stating in public, and instead constantly played down its dangers.

And don't pretend that he was always following the advice of Fauci. He hardly followed his advice on hydrochloriquine.

These quotes were taken verbatim from Woodward's tapes...what context do you think they need?

He did not - after admitting to Woodward that the virus was "deadly" and a "killer", he then held 19 rallies with no distancing or masks - completely opposite to what Fauci and Brix recommended and continue to recommend. Why did he put his supporters at t=risk?

The point where he eventually deviated is that he correctly recognizes that you can not shut down the economy forever.

Unintelligible.

And you in addition to the question about the rallies, why did he say the virus was affecting lots of young people, then say the complete opposite one month later?

Hats off to the Maine CDC which appears to be doing extraordinary work on this. 

Before the 1600s, people did not know of the existence of microorganisms. They thought disease spontaneously generated. It was beyond belief that some small invisible creature could move from person to person and carry disease.  

Apparently, America needs an 500-year upgrade in education. A bunch of us are lagging behind in science.

Good thing these people will have such great memories of their wedding day. Definitely worth seven lives. If they hit eight though...
