He'll be lucky if he doesn't die.
74 overweight, he should've been scared.
Hopefully they'll be ok.

He was scared. He’s always scared.

He’s a coward and he knows what he’s done and that he deserves bad things.

Despite that, he’s too lazy and id driven to take precautions.

He’s been bullshitting you, as we’ve pointed out for several years now.

He needs to grab the Bible he was waving around on riot night and start praying.

As for who to blame for all the COVID-19 misinformation?

Why are Americans so confused about Covid-19? Blame Trump, Cornell study says

[luee]

Get him outta here. Bleach and Lysol? Almost anyone is an improvement.

I don't care about Trump. I hope Biden is ok.

2 months of shutdowns and mask wearing and testing and contact tracing.
2 months of gradual reopening.
Starting March 15, could have been well-contained by May 15 and all over by July 15.  Starting March 1, then May 1 & July 1.

Life would have been back to normal.
Schools would have opened as usual.
The economic hit would have been very manageable.
Deaths would have been likely been less than half, held under 100K, probably more in the 60K range.  1/3 of the Trump devastation.

There would still need to be vigilance, mostly from outside travelers, but any and all pockets of virus would need to result in local lockdowns, quick testing, thorough contact tracing. 

It was all manageable.
Transmission isn't hard to stop if the correct measures are implemented and enforced.

We could have started in February. If you haven’t heard the tapes, you should.

How will trump’s herpes, syphilis, and chlamydia interact with his new COVID infection?

[facilitatorn]

America needs something better than a disease riddled White House spreading infection throughout the land through endless corruption, incompetence, and lies.

Good thing LP will be saying it and not Joe.

Sure, should have started Feb 1!

China started to get serious circa Jan 12 when it was clear a case had already reached Thailand.  That was an uh-oh moment..

Jan/February was a really perfect time to work out a national strategy and get the testing right and in place, and work out contact tracing and lockdowns.  All of which was bungled unbelievably.

By Feb 22 the outbreaks in Northern Italy and Iran made it clear that this was a global health emergency.  And in a borderless EU, Europe was going to be hit hard.
By March 1 Europe was starting to tighten up controls (I almost wasn't allowed to fly from Cyprus back to Athens on March 2, and those rules -- visitors from China needed to be restricted for 14 days  -- were only just put in place that morning).

So really that last week in February up to March 1 made it clear this was a pandemic that was going to reach the US from both coasts.  That's why I think March 1 is a good clear demarcation point.  But certainly more could/should have done earlier as well.

its a hoax-this is Trump's desperate ploy for sympathy.

the fucker lies about everything.

Could be.

Al Haig just called in to the West Wing and said he's in charge!

Vice President Pence has tested negative for COVID-19 and a soul.

Boris Johnson enjoyed a surge in popularity in GB when he got COVID.  Though he was hospitalized for several days.

And Trump probably thinks there is little that would serve him better right now than showing how "easily" he beat the virus, because he is so healthy and strong, and the virus isn't a threat anyway.

But given the national security implications you have to think there are layers of completely apolitical staff involved, even in the Trump Administration, that would make a maneuver like this impossible.  But who knows.  You literally can't put a thing past this guy.
