This is phase one of a pandemic for which you need a really low amount of sick people for a long time.

wow..

>media lies about cutting off travel from china
>media calls trump a xenophobe for cutting off travel
>media lies and claims that trump denied aid from WHO
>media lies and says that trump isn't providing ventilators
>media lies and seeds hysteria, helping create most of the protests and violence
>media lies and says that trump isn't providing test kits
>media lies and says that republicans are evil for wanting to reopen
>media lies and says that Murica is the worst in responding to chinkenpox

Its literally the same shit over and over and fucking over.

Wait until there's a locale that opens up enough for a single Trump rally and he shows up. We both know he will. He'll fucking skydive in to the stadium if need be. What happens when there's another Antifa riot (aka terrorism) for that first "post covid" rally. Wait until the left defends it.

The polarization is one way. That way starts and ends with progressives. "You think wrong, therefore you can't speak your mind, or you're hurting me." The moment somebody takes that position, go purchase a few more firearms and a few thousand more rounds of ammo. Shit's gettin' real from the fascists. AKA socialists.

ikr? the whole thing could have been over if everyone just injected some lysol, took a pill of ultraviolet light, waited till it magically disappeared, killed off by the warm weather in april, or by some divine spirit on easter, right?

instead the evil media conspired with scientists around the world to target the US economy, in order to hurt trump's re-election chances, by completely fabricating stories about how he severely undermined america's capabilities to respond to a global pandemic by defunding and disbanding protection mechanisms handed to him by his predecessor, inventing stories about how he set up redistribution schemes for critical equipment to enrich his toadies, and how the relief funds treat businesses with ties to the administration preferable.

experts and scientists all over the world just deliberately misinform us because obviously they just hate trump. i'm glad you're so smart and red-pilled that you're able to identify this massive HOAX. if only more people were like that.

A thought occurred to me today
I've been joking about how the national guard could be mobilized to care for seniors and scrub bedpans to address the epidemic

but consider the following statements:

• The vast majority of deaths are in the elderly and especially those in care homes, infected both by other seniors and by care providers who don't isolate themselves from the rest of the world.
  
• Covid-positive elderly are being sent back to care homes from hospitals by executive orders by governors to preserve hospital beds, resulting in more infections at care homes
  
• The USACE built tens of thousands of temporary structures for providing medical care to covid patients that went almost completely unused at great expense, and are in the process of being decommissioned
  
• Its not feasible to mobilize the national guard to care for seniors at care homes to replace because they can't stay indefinitely during a lengthy crisis

What if instead of sending elderly patients directly home from hospitals to care homes and risking further infections, we mobilized the national guard to utilize the temporary treatment centers and renovate them as transitional centers where patients could remain quarantined for a week or so before being returned to their home care centers? Rather than indefinite caregiving, put reservists on rotating 2-week long quarantine shifts where they'd care for seniors while adhering to their own isolation.

the very idea of a 19 y.o. Chad "have u seen my Dodge charger" Natty Guard taking care of elderly is just a really bad one.

Sandbaggers can probably do nursing.

As opposed to a 19 y/o with no qualifications whatsoever? You do realize that most nursing homes require nothing more than a high school diploma, right?

At least the national guard troopers receive proper training for whatever tasks they're tasked with.

You must be one of those brilliant types who thinks that the people emptying bedpans in nursing homes are actual nurses. Just LOL.

Very interesting article:

Tldr: the long-running feud and animosity between Cuomo and De Blasio has fucked New York's coronavirus response, and thousands of people have died as a consequence.
