President again says he is doing ‘incredible job’ fighting pandemic and casts doubt on Jeffrey Epstein’s cause of death
www.theguardian.com
Donald Trump visibly floundered in an interview when pressed on a range of issues, including the number of coronavirus cases and deaths in the US, his claims that mail-in voting is fraudulent, and his inaction over the “Russian bounty” scandal.
The US president also repeatedly cast doubt on the cause of death of Jeffrey Epstein, and said of Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite who has pleaded not guilty to allegedly participating in the sex-trafficking of girls by Epstein, that he wished her well.
Maybe he should have worked on a strategy ? How many lives would have been saved with effective leadership ?
How many lives would have been saved with effective leadership ?
Can you prove that even one would have?
Yes. Look at any country that immediately acknowledged the virus was real and implemented and coordinated response. They all have less cases and deaths than we do.
That's was a stupid question, by the way.
What countries are testing random people who don't show symptoms of COVID, at the same rate of testing as the US? Also what countries are counting deaths of people who died in car accidents and by other means as COVID death, along with counting people who had not been tested but simply had symptoms related to COVID? What countries are incentivizing hospitals and pressuring doctors to declare COVID as cause of death without running tests and going against medical science?
Almost every developed country is testing at a higher rate per capita than we are.
The rest of your post is a series of bullshit conspiracy theories they you should be ashamed of yourself for posting.
But you won't be.
So you concede that no other country is testing random people at the same level as the US...
Another question for you...what countries are counting repeat testing as new cases? In the US people who test positive are retested several times and each test they take is counted as a new case.
Where is the US testing random people?
Quick search. This is from June and testing has increased since then.
Can just anyone get tested?
It depends on where you live. New York, which
leads the US in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases and fatalities, still has
criteria that a resident must meet in order to be tested. However, in California, 40 locations in the Bay Area
offer free testing to all residents, even if they're not showing symptoms. They still need to have an appointment, however. Kentucky is also letting
anyone sign up to get a COVID-19 test at any Kroger location. And as of June,
any Indiana resident can get tested without showing symptoms.
Tennessee also tests anyone who wants to get tested for free, whether they have symptoms or not. New Jersey, the
second leading site of COVID-19 fatalities, now lets
anyone get a test.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued an
executive order (PDF) that lets residents get
tested at no cost if they've been working outside their home for more than 10 days and if they have any
COVID-19 symptoms, like coughing.
Having more access to the test kits will help allow cities and states to test more people. As a result, sites with a limited number of tests available are often reserved for higher-risk patients. For example, those with
underlying health conditions or those
exhibiting strong symptoms that are associated with COVID-19, such as trouble breathing, pain or pressure in the chest, confusion and bluish lips or face.
More recent guidance from the CDC adds that obesity at any age and pregnant women are at a higher risk for increased coronavirus symptoms.
