Coronavirus

[TheJames101]

Likely is NOT really ... but to the point, OUR President Trump could pick Gahndi for a role and folks like this and others here would find fault. He stopped flights to stem this virus spread before other countries did and got lambasted as a racist. TDS is real and exists here on MERB.

TDS goes the other way too - dismissing any of his faults and only talking about all the good stuff. It's dumb to say everything Trump did is bad, and it's dumb to say he's been great. Overall, I wouldn't say he's been great, even if he did a few things right here or there.

Waloo,

In the last couple of days massive outbreaks and a large number of fatalities have been reported at a few nursing homes in the New Haven area. In the coming weeks in NYC and CT, many older persons living alone will be found dead in their homes by loved ones, or by neighbors when their bodies begin to decay. The death numbers will skyrocket when these unfortunate persons are added to the tally.

The political fingerprinting in this thread has become nonsensical. The death toll wouldn't be significantly different if someone else was President. The same half assed measures would have been taken. The media fosters in way too many people that who the nominal leader is makes a big difference. It really makes no difference. None of the past 4 Presidents made a substantial difference in my day to day life. The only noticeable difference in my taxes was the phasing out itemized and business expense deductions which happened under Trump, but I know full well the same change would have happened if any Democrat was elected. It's really delusional to point fingers and in my opinion appalling. I didn't hear any chorus from the medical community about locking down or even doing the half assed measures we did back in January. Nothing, zero, nada. So to create some narrative that didn't exist at all is by definition deranged and delusional.

EB,

My posts are meant to neutralize the rhetoric by putting some facts out there to basically justify exactly what your saying.

Regarding my previous post about the death rate/projections, there has been a lot of discussions about this as of late. Tucker Carlson had an interesting piece about it on his show last night. I watched his show right after watching Chris Cuomo on CNN. I try to balance out the truth between the two of them. Back to Tucker, he dove into the data received by the WHO along with the governors and it did make me think about the horrible projections that we are going to be facing. The projections are really high, but the reality is that the data is not heading the way of the projections, not even close. I'm very happy with that, as we all should. Maybe its a glimmer of hope, maybe Tucker just stirring the shit to piss people off, lots of maybes, but what about the data that we are getting from all the charts and curves. I'm hoping they are wrong and the deaths are much lower than projected.

Yes, but was appointed by Obama. So who she worked for previously has nothing to do this, does it?

Exactly! I agree with you but Trump does not agree with us.

Did you watch the press conference? Did you saw Trump's first reaction when he heard of the bad survey results conducted to various hospital across the country that her office reported? Immediately Trump wanted to know her name. Then he wanted to know who appointed her. You see he simply want's to destroy the messenger and skip the problems. Very horrible leadership.

The presidents behavior in all of these press conferences are embarrassing. I agree with you. I wish he would be more like Governor Cuomo. His even tempered demeanor is exactly what we need right now.

Waterloo,
the crazy thing is there are crazies out there criticizing the models and actually saying how they are overestimating. People are actually getting pissed @‘this. Less people dying than projected, lol! If a financial adviser told someone with $100,000 that if him and his family keep spending the way they do they will have only $5000 by then end of the year to submit to the kids college fund. Come October the client sees a net balance of $45,000 and calls the financial adviser angry that his projection was totally off and he’s pissed because he could have taken the family to vaca in Germany (where he planned to ditch his family on a “work related” excursion to FKK sharks). He’s angry n livid @ the financial adviser but not thanking his wifey who said “we can wait another year to buy a Range Rover SUV and not happy he’ll have cash to help make sure his kids are closer to being debt free after college.

surprisingly people are more concerned about the welfare of themselves and others and staying the fuck home. The models are gonna change

Il y aura des exceptions pour des urgences. Et il faut juste prendre les protections appropriés clients et professionels.

Urgence, c’est relatif... pour moi, une coupe de cheveux et mes massages seront considérés urgents d’ici peu...

EB,My posts are meant to neutralize the rhetoric by putting some facts out there to basically justify exactly what you are saying.

The second paragraph of my last post was not intended for you but rather to all other posters who are finger pointing at politicians in this thread. They are delusional to think politicians are killing people. The virus is killing people and the death tally wouldn't be much different regardless of who was in charge. I also believe that no matter who was President the response would have been half assed and we have to face up to the fact that this is a weakness inherent in democratic society. We see from the posts of Cloud500 and others that a large number of deaths are acceptable to them (presumably their mothers included) in the name of protecting freedoms and other features of democracy we are spoiled by. If those posts are accepted, then the death toll is really a byproduct of the type of government rather than the specific leader of the government. However I do not see it as particularly helpful to finger point blame at politicians, and persons who do so simply breed ineffectiveness or laziness at finding solutions to the problems at hand.

EB,

I agree completely.

 

[OnJustALark]

Also agree with the Beav's last post above yours Walooo ...

However, pulling ta the heart strings above in an earlier post from him, many old people will be found dead alone in their homes regardless ... acrid, stroke, aneurysm ... who knows ... home invader even. But, am willing to BET that every single one will be BLAMED on this china virus.

And pretty sick of "Saint Cuomo", he has run the state poorly and is as fit a leader as Putzker is in IL ... lousy. Is Trump well polished - heck no. Does he sugarcoat as a typical silver tongued politician ... again NO. Similar to finding an escort ... different tastes in looks, manners and performance .... but guess what, you still get screwed in the end! LOL

I must agree , big difference between the governors briefings and the presidents

Cuomo brings a sense of calm and speaks with compassion and is empathetic , transparent and gets understood so its exactly what people need right now

The president’s press conferences/briefings are another story . He seems anxious and easily gets agitated and deflects any criticism or blame

I’m surprised that people still watch his briefings as they all end up predictably the same with him throwing a fit
I mean it’s the reporters jobs to ask tough questions , they are not there to pat him in the back

What is TDS?

'Trump Defender Syndrome is an affliction endemic to Trumpanzees whereby any mention of the name Trump immediately causes defensiveness, rationalization, deflection and a generalized frothing at the mouth.'

 

[The Nature Boy]

Cuomo is annoying. Get to the point man. A key difference between him and DJT is that Andy looks like he actually puts literate relatives in key positions on his team, but still nepotism @‘play. I find the FaceTime back and forth between him and Chris @ his noontime briefings and on Chris’s CNN slot adorable but not as adorable as Jared.

yet Cuomo getting shit done as much as he is annoying

DJT is making it harder for Lupus patients to get plaquenil with him talking about shit he knows nothing about.

but, don’t think you can solely point finger on him with this one. It’s a systemic failure in disaster preparedness for USA and even other countries like UK.

in contrast “New Zealand’s PM has got it goin on.....New Zealand’s PM has got it goin on.....New Zealand’s PM has got it goin on.....”

What is TDS?

“Trump Derangement Syndrome”

When I first googled it I realized I also suffer a bit from this condition

 

[OnJustALark]

Poor misguided TDS sufferer out from jail ... TDS= Trump DERANGEMENT Syndrome ... as clearly modeled by the above poster


NCITHW ... look at the difference in press pool to what each has to deal with ... you don't THINK that Cuomo is in a girls slow pitch softball league as compared to the majors Trump is dealing with - each person there LOOKING for their "gotcha" moment without a true care for this manufactured china virus? Come on ... be realistic .

So many people don't like Trump cuz "of the way he talks" ... little girls, thats why he got elected ... masses tired of being lied to LIED to by silver tongued well polished career politicians from both BOTH sides of the isle.

Lets focus on staying in place - even someone here has bragged about his "no sexual contact" visitor ... that is NOT sheltering in place ... bang the board if she is there, ya all have likely spread the virus by being in the same room with your clothes on if one of you had it! Geeze Louise ...
