So liberal based fact checkers are saying that trump did not minimize the Corona virus?

/e trying to be reasonable this early


Liberal biased fact checkers are saying that trump did not call this a hoax. Which you just said he did.
There's a large difference between "calling something a hoax" and "minimizing it", where the former is a specific description and outright denial, while the latter is your subjective interpretation of whether his response has been adequate, whether his descriptions erred on the side of too strong or too light. Which based on his statements and current death toll, is something the jury is still out on. We're still in the "end is nigh" phase, rather than the "wailing and gnashing of teeth" phase.

Anyway, here is what Trump is presently saying:

You can watch the goalpost move in real time and includes him saying that this is a politicized hoax of the democrats, while saying no Americans have been killed by it, flu is worse, Before it was supposedly here.

What is this strongly worded letter to the editor that Karen wrote? Lol. Nobody gives a fuck about that. Who cares what he is saying because it will be different in his next tweet.

never change, kellyanne, never change...

your emperor has been lying, misleading, and misinforming the public for weeks, he has been downplaying the threat despite all the experts telling him it's serious, and he has severely hurt america's preparedness and willingness to fight it by doing so, and everyone outside your little cult can see that.

but hey, keep fooling yourself by pretending we can't know if it's bad until it's in the past (what a ridiculous argument). the facts don't care about your feelings.

dont forgot that the leading (D) candidates for President criticized his restriction of travel from China, Iran, and Europe early on. The candidate who will probably win (Biden) was still stammering less than two weeks ago about how such measures were ‘xenophobic’

this is what privileged lefties want during normal times and especially when there is a virus spreading from China to all over the world, “anyone can come in long as they stay over there away from my community”

Through a coworker who's family member works for a local hospital as a nurse. All the nurses and doctors are under an NDA about a certain subject apparently.

Said subject is that they have been forced to test everyone for the flu instead of corona virus, and tell them the covid test came back negative, unless they're on deaths door, to keep their numbers of actively infected people low. Why they are doing this I don't know, and I don't know how many other hospitals are doing the same thing. My only guess can be they were told to by someone higher up than the hospital itself in an attempt to keep public panic lower. Unfortunately this means those people think they aren't carrying this virus and most likely will go infect more people by accident. I'm not sure how NDAs work exactly, in regards to being forced to break the law, but it all seems highly illegal.

One thing trump did that was positive was the travel restriction. His BS "hoax" its the flu still gets talked about all over internet platforms to this day. His jackass minimizing even now is not helping.
you inbred R's cant seem to stop defending him no matter what

The criteria for triage are rather easy early on: if you're past retirement age, you're fucked, if you have severe preexisting conditions, you're fucked.
What will be really tough to decide is when the situation gets even more dire and doctors have to decide whether to give the one ventilator to the fit 50 year old, or to the 40 year old who has asthma but no other conditions.
It might even come down to something like: if a choice has to be made between similar patients, the one with underaged children will get preferred treatment over the similar candidate who's childless
.


This is my dilemma. Mrs Surfpunk is in her early 40s, but has asthma, and we don't have children. If she catches this, she may get triaged out because of these factors.

Seems too delirious to be true. You are talking about a direct harm to free world values.
