    That link= "Trump referred to “politicizing” of the coronavirus by Democrats as “their new hoax.” He did not refer to the coronavirus itself as a hoax."

    Not really much better right?

    Some Trumpers said the virus itself was a hoax. Trump repeatedly said it was like a cold, you can go to work.

    Former Miss Nevada boasted of going to crowded restaurant in Trump hat. Republican congressman said this is a good time to go out because you will get good service in restaurants. White privilege doesn't confer viral immunity no matter how much they pretend.

    BTW stupid auto correct put apostrophe in governors. I just fixed. I know where apostrophes belong and where they don't.

    Trump was up early this morning, tweeting about ... Hillary's emails.

    Priorities.

    literally the only thing cares about is his re-election, and public perception.

    I didn’t make any claims that need to be explained away. I never said anything was right or wrong. Why don’t you explain to us all what a genocide is? Ask a few Armenians or Rwandans about the current genocide in the United States, see if they laugh and how hard.

    Quit trying to make me explain myself, I never made any claims that need to be explained away. You’re just butthurt because you made one of the dumbest posts in forum history and got clowned for it.

    Better or worse, it’s not what people on here are claiming. If it was just as bad there would be no need to take the sensational route.

    Ouch.
    I've got 0.9 oz. that my mother left me when she died. That was at about $900 back then. I guess I could sell it but it is such a tiny amount that I think it has more sentimental value right now.
    However I still have about a quarter Million in stocks which I'm thinking I should withdraw and invest in bonds or gold. Everything else is out of the stock market already so that was a lucky move. I guessed that the market was going to tank because of Trump but I did not count on a virus as being the vehicle of the downturn. Luck? Yeah, I guess so.

    This looks like a scene from The Naked Face starring Rod Steiger, Eliot Gould and Roger Moore between Rod Steiger's character and Roger Moore's character except that appears to be Matt Damon and Rod Steiger.

    The story makes zero sense. Even if it’s true that they hope to have a vaccine ready by summer, it would still have to do all the testing required by the FDA before it could be used in the US. There are many companies in the US and around the world that have vaccines in development that are at about the same stage. One is beginning tests right now in Seattle. Not saying that it even beyond Trump to try to pull something like this off, just that it doesn’t seem to me like it adds up.

    Why no talk of shutting down gyms? That's probably the worst place you can be at right now.

    One woman in South Korea, the 31st known case there, is suspected of having been the source of 80% of the covid-19 cases in the country. Don’t be Patient 31.
