No I have heard things from his supporters that you are putting words in his mouth, another was he said the light would disinfect, another he turned to the doctors and was asking not suggesting. Of course that doesn’t match with his I was being sarcastic comment.CR69 said:
“He was being sarcastic! He didn’t actually mean it! He was just asking! He misunderstood the question! He was trolling the media! He is being taken out ot context! He was actually speaking in Spanish! IT WASN’T HIS FAULT!!!!!”
No it isnt.
He was touting this drug for weeks, almost daily. He didn’t want it as Advil, but he wanted it readily available in mass quantities with a simple prescription by someone like a teledoc. All with little clinical evidence beyond a trial of like 36 people in France. Pretty black and white stuff here. The guy who was demoted was pushing back.
Literally everything you typed is already widely known. They werent secretive about it. But see you cant write an article about that.
What exactly is widely known? The POTUS unwisely promoted a drug with no clinical evidence, or a top doc who is important to the current situation was demoted for resisting WH pressure?
It’s a shame they’re stopping bc they would’ve been 100% his downfall (they still hurt, but society has a short memory), all while his base thought they were good
This. You telling me this isnt a widely known point among any consumer of cnbc?
I consider a trial of 36 to basically be none (certainly not a game changer to be touted by the President), but yes not this discussion.
So your point is that the Trump administration doesn't listen to experts, enacts policy based on the gut instincts and snap reactions of the President, and then punishes those with dissenting opinions, and that this is all well known so we don't need to discuss it further?
Was going to link to a “Downfall” parody here but I’m not looking to get banned again. So instead just go search on YouTube and then pretend you clicked on a link in my postIt’s a shame they’re stopping bc they would’ve been 100% his downfall (they still hurt, but society has a short memory), all while his base thought they were good
He should have scaled back his involvement long ago. Let the press secretary set the stage for the experts and let them brief on progress.
That's a kick in the nuts. Let's hope it's not true, or at least reinfection has milder symptoms.
Even more proof he shouldn't be up there doing the press conferences. Let the Press Sec read the President's thoughts and introduce the experts that actually handle the task force...or just let Pence run it.
The answer is no. But even if people sue, the legal grounds would be extremely shaky. Who are you going to sue?
Well, yes Tim, I understand the WHO's caution, but with most respiratory illnesses similar to the flu (which this probably is) once one is infected they can't be infected a second time (unless it perhaps would be from a mutated strain).
Seems pretty premature here. Is it a "nice job" if cases in Tennessee take off like a rocket?
It's not a tough one at all. The government is trying to pass along responsibility it has. By doing this, now you cannot get unemployment from the government in you have to go to work. The company isn't going to allow you to stay at home because you are expected at work. If you have a pre-existing condition or don't want to risk getting sick, you are now fired, and then you can't get unemployment because the company will say you quit then you can't ask for rent deferment because you should be at work.
We've proven to be better than everyone else at handling this crisis, so we should probably just continue to go it alone. Just like developing our own test. Much better sensitivity and specificity in the USA made tests. Really put is in the driver's seat.
And some people will complain when China and Russia start to fill the void the US has left by becoming isolationists.
No. The WHO and others have done pandemic preparedness ratings (prior to this pandemic) and the USA ranked very highly. I think that the researchers will have to revisit those ratings. They likely didn't consider the potential our government would stick it's head in the sand, ignore experts, and push magic bullet solutions.
No. This will just encourage bad decision making. If states want to help they could put a moratorium on rent payments for a month. That will be the big driver of businesses and employees to come back prematurely.
Responded to a Yahoo article on this point in the other thread:
TL;DR: It's nowhere near confirmed that recovered COVID patients get no subsequent immunity whatsoever. And that's how this recent pronouncement by WHO is commonly being interpreted.
Not a big fan of helping out the people that hate you. Not necessarily bothered by this at all.
This is so insanely stupid. The closes comp I can think of this was Hoover's response to the crashing market in 1929. Zigging when zags are required, zagging for the opposite.
Aren't you the same guys that complain whenever USA takes the lead in anything? Saying that America should mind it's own business global affairs?
I think one problem here is the idea that withdrawing American support for global endeavors means that somehow our adversaries will just sit still.
I know you think you know what the opposing viewpoint is somehow "America bad," despite the fact that we live here, too, why would we want it to fail? That's so far away from correct that it isn't even in the same universe. It is a woefully uninformed opinion, and frankly anyone who shares it should be ashamed for doing so. Our nation was founded on the right to protest against unfair governing by people in charge, and Trump has done pretty much everything wrong with this pandemic response. From downplaying the severity from day 1, to suggesting medically unsound advice, to absconding from the leadership role, he has proven himself unworthy as a "leader." But I know this will fall on deaf ears, as the chant of "America bad, China good" will be used to vilify those who want solid leadership at the top.
isn't that the cornerstone of Trump foreign policy? Unilateral everything, America first, etc?
no.
