I kept telling Trumpers that it was NOT a "blue state problem"

[g5000]

I wonder how many pounds of brain damage it takes to parrot the idiotic claim that almost no one died from the flu this past flu season.

Seriously.

You have to be ******* retarded, literally.

I don't know. When hospitals get THOUSANDS of dollars to report deaths as COVID related, you would think "follow the money" would click in some brains, but I don't think you've demonstrated yourself to be particularly bright.

Oh I see you are in full whackjob conspiracy mode now.

Good luck with that.

That's been documented several times here. Do your own research, Kasick sucker.

It hasn't been documented. It has been parroted by tards.

The second round of funding announced today was based on a formula for hospitals with over 161 COVID-19 admissions between January 1 and June 10, 2020, or one admission per day, or that experienced a disproportionate intensity of COVID admissions (exceeding the average ratio of COVID admissions/bed). Hospitals will be paid $50,000 per eligible admission.

The first round of funding was based on a formula that distributed funds to hospitals with 100 or more COVID-19 admissions between January 1 and April 10, 2020 and paid $76,975 per eligible admission. These previous high impact payments were also taken into account when determining each hospital’s payment in this second round distribution

So, g5000 does not even have a basic understanding of why cold and flu viruses continue to infect year after year. What else do g5000 NOT know?

STRIKE THREE!

**** YOUR "STRIKE THREE"

You don't know SHIT about ANY OF THIS.

NOBODY EVER GETS RE-INFECTED BY A STRAIN OF VIRUS. NOBODY. EVER. EVER. YOU ******* IDIOT.

The genome of ANY virus changes during its travels. And so does the genome of coronavirus. The genome of the coronavirus in Boise, Idaho is different from the genome of the coronavirus in New York.

So, just like with the common cold, you can catch Covid more than once. This does not make it unique in any way.

STRIKE FOUR!

Then, it's NO LONGER THE SAME ******* VIRUS.

So, why do we need to wait for a ******* vaccine again?

Every vaccine is an immunization against the most common strain. That's why it is possible to get the flu if you have had the flu vaccine. Because you caught a different strain.

So it will be with the covid vaccine.

Covid will always be with us, just like the flu.

You're welcome.

And so shutting down did what????

Those countries which shut down before us, and massively tested before us, had much better success than our golfing retard apprentice game show host.

We perhaps could have upped the testing earlier but we caught up and test enormously now. The documented cases lessen the impact of the virus danger and all the new cases continue to do that...from the continued testing. We have several people at work who were positive stayed home and returned to work, never shut down. I don't think shutting down did anything except cost people jobs.

We do not have a system of contact tracing in the US.

The state of US contact tracing: Is it working? | PolitiFact

Contact-tracing efforts in the U.S. have been stunted by delayed testing results and major outbreaks beyond the scope of what the existing number of tracers can handle, experts said.

www.tampabay.com

We have a patchwork of states, that mostly are ineffective. But states generally have contact tracing in education, and I would think major employers have their own.

We may have a vaccine in time for next fall. It may be an annual kind of thing like we have for the flu. The question is how many will get it after Trump has put so much effort into denying even basic Middle Ages science.

I'm glad it was such an intellectual triumph for you to deduce that major transportation hubs exist in large cities. I almost hate to puncture the bubble of the only achievement in your sad existence by telling you that the rest of us actually already knew that, and you weren't "informing" anyone of anything.

However, you were dead wrong in your insistence that that was the only reason that blue areas were hit extremely hard, and you're dead wrong now in your insistence that "Trump fiddling" is the reason that infections continue to spread.

Here's the thing. Not all cities exist in blue states. They aren't all run by Democrats, and they didn't all take the same approach and policies to dealing with Covid. And, of course, they weren't all affected the same way. As much as you want to dance gleefully at the prospect of "Look, people are sick in red states!!! Whee, I'm so glad that I can think this is horrible and the end is nigh!!! How DARE you suggest that anything could be positive?!!" the truth is that:

1) This has always been an everyone problem.
2) It really isn't as bad a problem as you want to believe.
3) It really was made worse in the beginning by the actions of Democrat governors and mayors, and nothing will change that.

 

[Cecilie1200]

And?? ...

Seriously???

Trump is literally making his voters sick.
If he had just taken it seriously like South Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, Germany, etc.
I bet you didn't know that Taiwan, a country of 25,000,000 people had only 7 deaths from COVID.

Taiwan
Coronavirus Cases:
550
Deaths:
7
Recovered:
497

Taiwan COVID - Coronavirus Statistics - Worldometer

Taiwan Coronavirus update with statistics and graphs: total and new cases, deaths per day, mortality and recovery rates, current active cases, recoveries, trends and timeline.

www.worldometers.info

How come we couldn't do this but they did?

Trump is not "making people sick". It's a virus. It's not "woke", and it's not voting in the election. It's just a virus, and making people sick is what it does, and there's a hard limit on what humans can do about it, no matter HOW much your masters tell you to believe that electing Hillary in 2016 would have convinced the virus to pass over the US and not infect us.

Did you really just ask, "How come the United States couldn't have the same outcomes as Taiwan"? Let me think. Do you suppose it could have anything to do with the fact that Taiwan is a ******* ISLAND, you moron? Or any of the myriad other factors that make Taiwan enormously different from the United States. I realize that, as a leftist, you're an America-centric halfwit who can't fathom that different countries are DIFFERENT from each other, but it actually is true.

 

[Turtlesoup]

Our game show host president was counting on the coronavirus to die off in April. He, like so many of his Tru Bleevers, mistakenly compare a coronavirus to the flu.

The flu season is from October to April. This is where the apprentice fucked up.

The flu is not a coronavirus.

The common cold, however, IS a coronavirus and we all know about summer colds.

It is like the flu-----bad when it first came at the beginning of the year----then it mellowed out over the summer WITH THE SUN weakening the virus and killing MOST of it---------and now back again for the flu season and likely to be worse. Just like the 1918 flu, the 1956 and 1965 flu. Go back and read my earlier posts----------------I've been calling for the fall/winter to be a test to see if we f'ed really really bad by not exposing ourselves over the summer when the virus would be at its weakest due to the SUN-------------creating herd immunity.

Now we didn't get the herd immunity dose that we should have been trying for and hurt our economy and supply chains all because the globalists said so over the summer------

There is a possibility that things can be getting really really really bad this winter---I suggest that everyone get plenty of toilet paper and food stored up along with other basics. I see supply chain shortages again. Oh and as a FYI, you are supposed to be eating lots of veggies and taking vitamins to build up your immunity and have lots of liquid cold medicine on hand------antihistamines to help breathing.

I hope that I am wrong---but better to be safe than sorry.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Just about every “red state” still have big cities that are run by Dems.

The coronavirus doesn't care who's mayor, idiot.
It's a national problem and Trump just dumped it on the state governors.
He's a ******* idiot and a dangerous one at taht.

No, according to you, the coronavirus only cares who's President. Idiot.

Trump didn't "dump" anything on the state governors. I'm very sorry that it came as such a shock to you that our system of government has rules and jurisdictions, and the states don't exist merely as geographic points of reference, but as sovereign governments in their own right, with rights and responsibilities that the federal government is legally prohibited from violating. But stop crybabying at us about "Trump failed, because he didn't do things that I'm too stupid to know he can't do!!!!" No one here is interested in hearing your diatribes from lack of education.
