Well, at least we know Trump’s Covid plan now: https://trumpcovidplan.com/

He is saying that they use the virus as their new policital hoax, something which you demonstrate every day.

I understand this is the line he has pushed, and his acolytes have swallowed, the so-called "red pill". I'm not sure why you think that those of us who are not extremist right-wingers would accept this fake news that he's made up that what he said means anything other than what he said. You do realize we're not Trumpets, and aren't deluded by his lies don't you?

I know things keep getting worse and the numbers haven't stopped increasing yet, but this time it's plateaued, I swear!"

Yeah. Right.

You are looking at opinions, I am looking at data. The curves have been flat for 2 months, so how big is this uptick they are talking about? Tell us.

Turning a corner and walking into oncoming traffic...

But the last two months have been flat, so what does that even mean? I want to see the actual numbers instead of journalist opinions.

On Wednesday, the number of coronavirus deaths reported across the country reached its highest in two months. Increases in deaths tend to trail spikes new infections by several weeks.

But the last two months have been flat, so what does that even mean? I want to see the actual numbers instead of journalist opinions.

This is a really elongated corner that Trump says the US in turning in its battle with Covid.   Perhaps one of those corners that if you take at the wrong speed (opening up to early) you find your vehicle drifting of to the side and you have to apply the brakes or face flipping of the road.  40 states are experiencing increased numbers of Covid cases.  So in simple numbers it is getting worse in 80% of the country.  I guess there are no brakes on the vehicle that Trump is driving around the corner. 

Also, I watched the Trump released 60 minutes interview today.  Great to see he is still protecting his ties by using two hands to drink from a glass.

Even if Trump is replaced by Biden you will still have millions of Americans who will not listen or adhere to the recommendations, it comes down to the individual if they don't want to wear a mask they won't, no matter who the president is. It will take years for the USA to sort themselves out.

One of our resident right-wingers yesterday tried to claim the election isn't about Covid.

Ask the people in these states if they agree.

I guess we'll find out on the 3rd.

Biden should have a health panel convene, on election day, to get ahead of this crisis, before he take office

But Trump said “We’re turning the corner”....

And surly he wouldn’t be as stupid and heartless to have the SCOTUS overturn ACA and take away health care from 20 million during a pandemic whilst creating a new class o 8 million with pre-existing conditions, Could he (he absolutely could be that stupid and heartless)?

And where is that replacement plan that was coming in 2 weeks (8 weeks ago)?

COVID-19 surges across U.S.

And especially in states that had supported Trump.

RED STATES CONTINUE TO BE THE MOST IMPACTED

But like Melanie's jacket read, 'I don't care'.

Trump, his family and their fellow 'elite' have the healthcare and financial means to skate through Covid45 problems.

Unlike the general population.

Yes, this is "turning the corner" folks.

Pity the poor wretches in underdeveloped societies that lack universal healthcare.

Do you mean the US?

As the number of covid victims threatens to grow exponentially the true, pitiless nature of a virus pandemic is only now finally beginning to sink in even the densest brains of the biggest deniers and will inevitably be followed by the burning question of accountability directed at the clueless Trump's (mal)administration. Millions of Americans will also have to live with their own individual responsibility for this avoidable, collective catastrophe, haunted for the rest of their days by the guilt of "woulda, coulda, shoulda".

Those 130,000 to 210,000 deaths from Covid45 are on Trump.

That's why he awarded himself an A+. He thought the higher the number the better.

11 ( +13 / -2 )

 estimated that between 130,000 and 210,000 COVID-19 deaths could have been avoided in the United States, calling the federal government's response to the pandemic an "enormous failure"

Those 130,000 to 210,000 deaths from Covid45 are on Trump.

Just one more example of how Trump has failed the nation, or at least the majority of the nation excluding his fellow 'elite' who continue to profit from his reign.

The US health system cannot keep up with the surging rise in Covid,while Trump is in denial
