Sad way to be proven wrong.

Christ...blame Trump. He's responsible for calling it a hoax, his slow reaction--how many rallies and golf outings did the blob have in January?

That's a lie. Nobody called it a hoax.

"But a Johns Hopkins study found the United States is better prepared for a pandemic than any other country. Released in October 2019, the Global Health Security Index examined 195 countries on their preparedness and ability to handle an epidemic or pandemic. It found: “No country is fully prepared for epidemics or pandemics, and every country has important gaps to address.”

Where the US is having problems is with the COVID-19 testing and that is the fault of the CDC and FDC (new rules previously set up under the Obama Administration).

'"No, Trump did not cut funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among those pushing this untruth is former Vice President Joe Biden, who said, “They’ve cut the funding for the CDC.” Trump proposed a CDC cut, but Congress disagreed. FactCheck.org wrote: “It’s misleading at best to claim Trump ‘slashed funding,’ when his proposals haven’t taken effect. For instance, Trump’s fiscal 2020 budget proposal would have reduced CDC funding by $750.6 million, compared with what was enacted for fiscal 2019. … But Congress passed, and Trump signed, a budget that increased CDC funding by $420 million.”'

Obama's former veep is lying.

How would Joe Biden handle COVID-19 crisis?

Many Democrats and much of the media claim that President Trump has mishandled and continues to mishandle the response to the coronavirus pandemic. But a Johns Hopkins study found the United States…

Texas woman calls COVID-19 a hoax. She is now dead from her willful ignorance.

It is sadly ironic that this COVID-19 story came out today. My daughter forwarded me The Atlantic article "The Coronavirus’s Unique Threat to the South" which was rather prescient. After reading the article. I sent her the following message. Great...

www.dailykos.com

Karen Kolb Sehlke is the Texas woman who called the COVID-19 a hoax.

Her actual words were:

"Wake up!!! This is what the beginning of socialism looks like!

They are leading with fear causing you to panic like sheep.

… You don’t need hand sanitizer, toilet paper, and Lysol. You need common sense, a sense of direction, faith, a will to fight, and of course guns!

Now wash your hands and live the life they don’t want you to have!"


Karen Kolb Sehlke died 4/2/2020 due to complications from the COVID19 virus.
It is a shame she died. And I feel for her family and loved ones. But willful ignorance can be dangerous.

I doubted the broad impact of this too. I take it seriously now because I'm not stubborn and I read many media sources.

I will say though, much of this lies in the hands of those who didn't inform the world, including the W.H.O who told us in January it couldn't be transmitted from person to person.

All of the destruction that followed, lies at their feet. There must be consequences for the W.H.O and China. Whether we want to accept it or not, everything that follows, even the doubters; has the same source in a pandemic that could have been limited by 95%

Like everyone everywhere...I wait for the W.H.O to issue news briefs. Christ...blame Trump. He's responsible for calling it a hoax, his slow reaction--how many rallies and golf outings did the blob have in January?

Trump did not call the virus a hoax, but I know you'll do your part and continue to spread this lie.
By the way, what does the DNC pay-per post these days ?

Did President Trump Refer to the Coronavirus as a ‘Hoax’?
Trump's commentary on the new coronavirus came before the virus began killing patients in the U.S.

What's False

"Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax."

Yep. He did call it a hoax and Yep, he did botch the response.

There is no denying the man is a prolific liar, a whoremonger, and a con man. All of these are proven facts. Why you trust anything that comes out of this administration is a mystery. I'm guessing you're either mentally disabled or stupid.

What's even sadder is the need to say "I told you so" and to shame her in the wake of this tragic death. Good job dailyKos.

Shamed? No.

It is a cautionary tale to show others they need to take it seriously. And that needs to be said, since so many are trying to make it sound like the COVID-19 virus is not dangerous. There are numerous threads on these forums saying the same thing.

Just last week someone posted that COVID-19 was just the flu.

If everything works out well, the COVID19 Truthers will dissmiss COVID19 as just another flu. To prove them wrong we have to drop the ball and let millions die. It is kind of like a replay of the Y2K bullet we dodged. The Ignorati think it was a hoax as well.

 

[WillPower]

I've been on several boards including FB today. I am practically speechless after seeing post after post from people celebrating this woman's deat.
It is simply one of the most vile things I have seen. The American left is revealing a depth, that even I didn't believe they could sink to.

Agreed. Trump has pulled their pants down and revealed they have no genitalia. The only difference between them and chinese communists is we still have our firearms....if they get those, the maoists (Pelousy, Crying Chuck, Shifty etc), will roll though our Constitution and state governments like a bulldozer... Imagine America without our old hippie communists...it's easy if you try.

[EvilCat Breath]

The daily kos was never a credible source of anything.

The virus wasn't a hoax. The democrat manufactured hysteria is the hoax. Democrats and their allies, the Chinese, intend to bring this nation to its knees. They smell absolute destruction and to democrats it is a sweet smell.

Gay Gavin Gruesome Newsom is reaching the point where the fiction is too hard to maintain. He's sending 500 unused ventillators back to the national stockpile.

I love daily kos, and am on that site every day. I read the article, but I could not find where she called the virus a hoax. Their headline was as misleading as yours.

What about all the people on this board who post similar messages? What will it take for them to realize that this is serious?

While I am sad for her family and friends, she chose to put her life on the line, even though she didn't have to, given no report that she was a medical professional. Let's just hope that she did not infect anyone else.

There are posters on this board who are STILL saying they're going to go to church and they're not going to wear a mask. Me, I started spending a lot of time at home alone starting in January, first with the flu (no, not covid19), then my tooth absessed, and then the flu rebounded. This was a stomach flu. I was just emerging from 6 weeks of lying on my sofa binge watching sports on TV, when the virus hit North America.

So I've been self-isolating since January. In part because I was so sick, and worn down by the infection. I knew my immune system couldn't take another hit. So here I am, relaxing, visiting friends via FaceTime, and posting.

 

[Bruce Daniels]

Watch for more such deaths, since many right-wingers refuse to use common sense and engage in social distancing, wear masks, etc. Hey, it's a free country!

 

[Gracie]

I never thought it a hoax, but I also thought and still think the horse is already out of the barn and the "fix" is worse than the disease itself. And did she die of the virus, or was there other ailments that complicated things for her? And does it matter if she smokes or not? What if she was an alcoholic?

I plan to take care to the best of my ability, but I am still fed up with the bullshit and bad instructions by all concerned. Wear a mask, don't wear a mask; go visit chinese restaurants don't go; Hydrox stuff works, doesn't work; death due to virus but patient was 96 years old and had a bad heart/diabetes/insert disease here___________.

I feel bad for the lady because someone or many someones will blame her when all she wanted to do was live free as we all have been doing all our lives and had doubts. It was not her fault she got it and died. It was china's fault. Period.

 

[Bruce Daniels]

Karen Kolb Sehlke is the Texas woman who called the COVID-19 a hoax.

So calling COVID-19 a hoax caused her death? Why am I not surprised that you favor the suppression of free speech?

Calling it a hoax did not cause her death, and I did not say anything close to that.

Whether or not you are surprised, I would be very surprised if you could find ANY example of me favoring the suppression of free speech.

Gee, maybe putting "fuck the constitution" at the bottom of your post would be a good example?

I've been seeing a few "stories" like this recently, and they're just a little too perfect, if you ask me. It just seems kind of fishy, the message being "don't call this thing a hoax!" Personally I don't believe anything at face value. I found this, a cached copy of someone expressing similar doubts on the truthfulness of the story: Likely Russian Disinfo: MAGA Karen dies from virus she declared a hoax

 

[candycorn]

He called it a hoax.
He is a prolific liar
He is a con man.
He is a whoremonger.

No lies.

You can't breathe without lying...it's all you're capable of.....you know you're nothing but a decrepit stooge for your commissars on the hill....and you're so desperate to be a part of something, anything, you've compromised your name, dignity, and family honor.

I noticed you are not trying to list any proof otherwise to the facts that the blob is:

A liar
A con man
A whoremonger
Called it a hoax

But do keep up with the personal attacks....they are funny.

Don't change or add to my words. But I think you're very naïve, there is tons of disinformation out there, not to mention the fact that propaganda is legal now. So It's amazing to me that people like you believe whatever you're told by the idiot box, and never question the government or mainstream narrative, like a good little serf.
