OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Agreed...I just don't get the narrative of some that the Dems were stone walling and muddying up the water just to piss the GOP and Trump off.

 

Just read where more than 1/2 of the Corona Virus deaths in Oregon are from assisted living centers.

 

False, that's not what you said, not at all...you told @SLY that you enjoyed the fact that "TRUMP got a bump in the polls"... you said nothing about the "GOP". But now you're citing a link and pointing to only house and senate approval ratings.

 

An over whelming percentage of ALL countries in the world have a LOWER death per million than the US...but as I've said multiple times, I don't give 2 shits about what other world leaders did and/or did not do...we are supposed to be better than the rest of the world...we're not.

 

You know, that's just so sad and it seems to be happening a lot...so many families never get to say good bye.

 

Oh for sure! Let’s get to that. Sorry

look at the dates 2/3-2/19 on the polling data. Yes, he definitely got a bump in the polls.

 

False... 79 deaths per million. Much better than most of the European countries

Ummm, you need to reread what I said.

 

Trump didn't initially SHUT down flights from China. He restricted entry but thousands were allowed to come back into the states and all it takes is one to start an epidemic that then turns into a pandemic. Why do you puppet many of his lies?

 

Was I reading this statement wrong?

 

One might consider the fact that Italy, France, Spain and England are each about the size of one US state...sort of makes those numbers moot points. On the other hand Taiwan which is about the size of one US State and is right next to ground zero has been one of the most successful countries at capping the spread.....having been through SARS they didn't fuck around....Trump fucked around to the detriment of the spread stateside. Trump as well as many world leaders needs to shut the fuck up and dance or go golfing and let honest professionals lead the fight.

 

Damn that Fake News New York Times!

Then I guess we can use that same argument on the amount of testing right?

 

If you look at the link, and the LONG list of countries below us in deaths per million, I would say so. He said all countries. You pointed to europe.

 

And if you sort the “deaths per million” we are well below the world average. Your point?

 

I don't think this is a time for arguing at all...we need to collectively move towards the process and solution and not get stuck in the situation and a chicken or egg blame game. This virus has no passport or visa....nationalism is not important when the whole globe is under attack

 

100% agree. So we should agree that everyone in the world got this wrong in the early stages. I can concede to that.

We should focus on the here and now.

 

Not from Sondland's testimony...Sondland's testimony was in November.

 

Yes, completely wrong.

 

He got a spike then as well. RCP goes back that far
