tanatastic 2,061 Posted August 14, 2020 Death and doom makes more money and gets more clicks than controlled and manageable when it comes to sickness. I feel like the death tolls are grossly exaggerated and the number of cases is simply too hard to accurately track. I also think if the news reported every flu or pnuemonia death (untold thousands annually) it would achieve the same effect. You don’t even realize it but marketing firms control a vast majority of what you think. This crisis is being exploited for sure and people are making literal billions off of it.

It is not worth a debate because you are not going to change my opinion and I won't change yours. Right. We had a whole political party say people are racist for voting a certain way. Not the first time either. One party says the jobs are gone and not coming back, Trump said he’ll bring them back. Maybe they just wanted a job? No way, had to be racism becksse they didn’t vote for the entitled white lady whose husband shipped those jobs off. Go away with the divisive nonsense.

No breathing issues just flu like symptoms. I am concerned about my dad, he has respiratory problems. Many of you geeks can expect a call from the hospital due to your recent contact with her.

drobeski 3,061 Posted August 14, 2020 58 minutes ago, Strike said: There is literally nothing Trump can do that won't be portrayed as "dividing" the country. Go back and look at the headlines when he instituted the travel ban. He was lambasted as a racist for doing so, yet that travel ban undoubtedly saved lives. Then, when it was shown that the travel ban was a good thing, the headlines changed to the travel ban not going far enough. it's straight up propoganda at this point. Could certain things have been handled better, like the CDC testing fiasco that happened at first? Of course. But Trump runs the country, not the CDC. He's done about as well as could have been expected, but the media's constant throwing him under the bus makes it look like he hasn't. We can see from your posts in this thread that even you're falling for their false narrative. Bingo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We will prob find out later that a lot of those tests confuse COVID for regular colds and flus and that’s what she had. Hospital gets paid for for a positive test, why would they let a single person walk away negative when you can’t tell the difference? Not sick? Asymptomatic.

FWIW she’s a Trumper and therefore naturally inclined to think Covid is a hoax. Everyone with a flu or cold is convinced it’s COVID now. It’s a combination of paranoia but also deep desire to feel like she’s “part of this whole thing.”. I’d say 80% chance regular cold or flu. It will come out later that all these tests fine print say “MAY have found indicators of possible COVID-19 or other similar virus indicators.” Giving them a backdoor out.

I still can't fathom how you can think this is all just some conspiracy to take down Trump. Answer this one - if the Dems couldn't get Hillary elected in the first place despite winning the popular vote, how are they able to craft this elaborate "hoax" by getting all of these states to fudge their numbers, wreck the economy even though the Republicans control the Senate and WH, and the rest of the world to have people die? BTW - I don't blame Trump for the virus. He has messed up a bunch of stuff along the way, but he didn't cause this or all of the deaths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
