Top 10 Liberal Lies About trump and COVID-19

[berg80]

10. Trump downplayed the mortality rate of the coronavirus

There is a difference between making factual corrections / distinctions and 'downplaying' something.

In early March, the World Health Organization said that 3.4 percent of coronavirus patients had died from the disease. “Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 (the disease spread by the virus) cases have died,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a briefing. “By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected.”

Trump said this number was false, as the mortality rate was actually much less because their number didn’t take into account unreported cases. In an interview with Sean Hannity on March 4, Trump challenged WHO’s number. “Well, I think the 3.4% is really a false number,” Trump said, asserting that the actual mortality rate is “way under 1 percent.”

And Trump was right. He wasn’t downplaying the mortality rate, as has been suggested. As testing in the United States has increased, the mortality rate has decreased. The same is true worldwide.

Chalk this up as another case in which 'expert' predictions were overblown - as we are seeing they were more and more - and President Trump being right.

Birx and Fauci reject Fox News-promoted theory that coronavirus deaths are inflated

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/04/08/tucker-carlsons-brit-humes-faulty-theories-about-coronavirus-deaths-being-exaggerated/

From the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, President Trump’s allies in the media have downplayed the threat. And as the death toll climbs, some of them — particularly on Fox News — are launching into a new argument: that deaths caused by the novel coronavirus might be inflated.
But the evidence and logic they offer are faulty. There are plenty of reasons to believe that the coronavirus death toll is actually being significantly undercounted, in fact, rather than overcounted. And the lead medical experts on Trump’s coronavirus task force on Wednesday night rejected the theory.
..............................................................................................................
My apologies for killing another in a long line of failed attempts to defend your Dear Leader. One day perhaps you'll not only accept he isn't infallible........rather..........he tells lots of lies.

Again --- it's all down to who took quick decisive action, and who didn't.

So the fact that a country 1/10th the side of the US with far fewer people reacted more quickly and did everything they 'needed to do' compared to a much larger nation with a different government, different system, different laws, different rights, more people, spread out much more, etc...

4. Trump didn’t act quickly and isn’t doing enough

If you listen to Democrats, Trump didn’t act quickly enough and is botching the government response. Joe Biden has tried to perpetuate this falsehood by giving press briefings telling Trump what he should be doing.

The big problem with that is that when Biden has offered his own plan, he simply took things that Trump had already done, said he should do those things, and pretended they were his own ideas.

In addition to this, one of the most significant actions taken by Trump, the travel ban with China, was actually opposed by Joe Biden, and Trump’s critics on the left. Unfortunately for them, WHO experts admitted Trump’s actions saved lives in the United States.


Way to go, Joe!

Here again, 4 and 7 are the same thing. Both dissolved by the facts.
Far as I know Joe Biden doesn't even hold an office, so let's use him for a distraction.

Trump wasted months. His government didn’t start purchasing necessary supplies until mid March.

US 'wasted' months before preparing for coronavirus pandemic

WASHINGTON (AP) — After the first alarms sounded in early January that an outbreak of a novel coronavirus in China might ignite a global pandemic, the Trump administration squandered nearly two months that could have been used to bolster the federal stockpile of critically needed medical supplies an

apnews.com

Snowflakes continue to claim Trump wasted time.....yet ignore the fact that Democrats were opposing his Travel ban, calling him a Xenophobe for acting when he did, and telling their constituents to keep herding around in large numbers, ride the subway, come to China Town, nothing to see here...etc..
LOL!

Trump is in charge of the federal government response to COVID-19. Not Pelosi. Not Biden. Not any Democrat. Trump gets the intelligence briefings. He runs the CDC. Every one of these people report to him. Not Pelosi. Not Biden. Not any Democrat. He has the full suite of emergency powers and authority granted to him by Congress. He has the ability to spend federal money. Not Pelosi. Not Biden. Not any Democrat.

If he doesn't want to take charge, he's welcome to step down anytime.

Original prediction millions dead, today's prediction 60,000 dead. You can tank Trump now.

For what?

He saved over a million lives. Maybe you pricks shouldn't politicize an epidemic, to try to make your opponent look bad. Hope you enjoyed your confinement for nothing and flushing our economy down the tubes. All this work you to guarantee Trumps victory! Thanks!

"Saved over a million lives"??

--- based on??

Lemme show ya what saving lives actually looks like Hunior. Here are some countries that DIDN'T drag their feet reacting to a pandemic.

Here's what "flattening the curve" looks like:

Now compare these numbers. See especially that last column showing how seriously a country took testing and how quickly they rolled it out. Iceland was one of the places where it was discovered that up to half of positive tests were showing no symptoms at all, meaning those healthy-seeming people were (and still are) wandering around playing the role of Typhoid Mary. Notice also the fourth and sixth columns indicating how many cases resolved in death versus how many resolved in recovery.

Country, Other Total Cases New Cases Total Deaths New Deaths Total Recovered Active Cases Serious, Critical Tot Cases/ 1M pop Deaths/ 1M pop Total Tests Tests/ 1M pop World 1,543,563 +25,603 90,954 +2,499 342,415 1,110,194 48,503 198 11.7 USA 438,476 +3,549 15,732 +944 24,413 398,331 9,281 1,325 48 2,257,511 6,820 Iceland 1,648 +32 6 688 954 11 4,829 18 32,663 95,718 S.

Iceland: six deaths out of 960 resolutions, more than 99% survival. South Korea: 204 deaths out of 7177 resolutions, 97%. Is that because they took better care of their patients? Not really. It's because they got out in front of it more quickly and responsibly. This is your Reality Check. It has no expiration, you can cash it any time.

At first the experts said millions of americans will die. Now they say maybe 60,000. Trump is the man, also hearing on the radio america could be back to work in as little as two weeks! You loons screwed the pooch again on this one. Trump took a world wide epidemic and saved america once again!

Um.... "you loons"?

Those charts are not going away. Deal with 'em.

The numbers aren't going anywhere either, and they at 60,000. Much better than the first numbers. Thanks president Trump.

There ARE NO numbers at 60,000.

Here's a klown who thanks a bullshitter for bullshit going yes master may I have another load. Hard to believe.

Funny how you claimed in other threads that since Trump is the President everything that goes wrong is HIS fault, but in this thread you are claiming that Obama's proven / reported ignoring of 3 DCD reports that he needed to replenish supplied after H1N1 was someone else's fault.

Bwuhahahahahahahahaha!

BUSTED!

None needed to debunk / poke holes in your little argument...

You forgot to mention China - the source of the pandemic - has done a better job responding to the pandemic....depending on if you believe they knew it started in Nov 2019...or was it later, when they finally reported to the WHO that they had a problem....and consider or not how the ChiComms physically welded citizens in their homes to die, if they have been honest in their reporting numbers,.....if you consider how they did know about the epidemic but refused to close international travel to stop the spread of the virus and prevent it from becoming a pandemic...etc...

 

[BlindBoo]

They predicted in the beginning millions would die, now they are saying 60,000 might die.

The 60,000 number is based on the assumption that the current social distancing measures stay in place through August.

A short civics question. Which branch of government holds the power of the purse?

"Fiscal restraints imposed by Republicans in Congress in the early years of the Obama administration left the U.S. less prepared to respond to the coronavirus pandemic today."

Dire shortages of vital medical equipment in the Strategic National Stockpile that are now hampering the coronavirus response trace back to the budget wars of the Obama years, when congressional Republicans elected on the Tea Party wave forced the White House to accept sweeping cuts to federal spending.

 

[BlindBoo]

Original prediction millions dead, today's prediction 60,000 dead. You can tank Trump now.

2.2 million dead if we were to do nothing and let the virus run it's course. The 60,000 number is only through August and assumes that the current social distancing measures stay in place till then.

It's a little premature to want to thank Trumpybear for 4 to 5 times the number of deaths through Aug. compared to the entire 2009 -2010 pandemic? But his devoted fans sure do love him!

Funny how when you snowflakes are blaming Bush for the falling / failing economy Obama 'inherited' you skip right over the part where the Democrats controlled that same body of Congress, controlled the e3conomy, the spending, the burse, and thus were responsible for the bad economy Obama 'inherited'.

Your 'civics lesson' still fails to distract from your other posts in threads where you bend over backwards to blame everything wrong in a Trump Presidency on Trump while doing the same to prevent Barry from having to accept any of the responsibility for HIS failures.

You went as far as insisting President Trump was individually / directly responsible for infected Chinese nationals making it into the US after he imposed his travel ban....as if it was Trump's personal job after he imposed the ban to stand at check points at ports of entry in the US and check passports to enforce his own Travel Ban.

Such examples you put on display expose you as the delusional, Trump-hating snowflake you are, something that will never change.

I didn't use China because I'm not convinced its numbers are credible. But I have no reason to doubt those of South Korea, Taiwan or Iceland. And neither do you. So your feeble attempt to deflect my comparison into a land it never went, is transparent and dismissed.
