Is Trump even trying to address the COVID pandemic anymore?
It’s like they don’t even care, he would just rather hide away from the world. There has never been a president that is this bad at leading. It’s like non-leading.
He’s shouting about the election and people he doesn’t like on twitter and the post office!
SO MANY AMERICANS ARE DYING.
Trump is a total failure, as we all suspected he would be.
- Brainwashed level: 100Hayoth
- ^ that's on both sides, no one thinks for themselves anymoremoldero
- like scarabin said "it will work itself out"moldero
- even worse than expected.. didn´t expect that he lies so much, pretty incredible on the dark side when u think about how shameless that sucker is..neverscared
- looking forward where all the anti-morale leads him, my tip jailhouse or madhouse.neverscared
- The idea trump is Superman with ability to stop covid but refusing to do so....********
- Haha********
- Had no idea so many thought of him that way********
- a morbid obese in spandex , very elegant.neverscared
- Yes, deathboy, a lot of people are as stupid as you, believe it or not.monospaced
- It is what it isFNP14
- Deathboy, you can fuck off and die. I said nothing about him stopping covid. No one expects that.********
- You’re the worst kind of internet moron, always compounding what people say with what you want to believe about them. Fuck off, you’re a scourge.********

This UK doctors daily videos are well worth watching.
He's so clued up and presents all information in an easy to understand manner. He also gives a summary at the start of each video but then you can watch more if you want indepth info.- Aye, he's been posted here a few times since all this started - I know I watched a shit tonne after someone here shared him. Had my head in the sand since.Nairn
- Was watching back in Feb. Been sat at home since. Wearing mask when out. Now Autumn is upon us. Wish fucking work would confirm perm WFH so I can move.shapesalad
- ...Move out of sodding bore expensive London and buy myself a big old semi with massive garden up north.shapesalad
- So tired of my W LDN evening walks past endless Porsches, just as many Range Rovers, a few G-Class, Ferrari's, Jaguars and one Mclaren F1.shapesalad
- Nobody has a fucking normal car in W LDN. Just a bunch of rich show offs in their 10 ~ 25m houses a stone throw from where Jihadi John grew up.shapesalad
- Seriously developed a warped view of life spending the past 6 months in this neighbourhood. Normal = having a £10m+ house and several Porsches.shapesalad
- By the way, this guy in the vid, isn't a GP doctor, he's a highly qualified nurse, used to train nurses, doctor as in phd.shapesalad
- So.. better than a standard-issue medical doctor?Nairn
- The actual experts are probably far too busy right now to do a podcast. But he gives good information it seems.yuekit
- i work with pharmacists and senior nurses and as far as the interpretation of medical evidence is concerned they are top of the game...kingsteven
- i mean other than specialists. if someone is prescribed or receives the wrong treatment it's not the doctors that get struck off. they know their onions.kingsteven
- Aye, that's kind of where I was coming from - if someone's got the smarts to be a PhD Doctor AND a hands on Nurse, they're probbaly worth paying attention to.Nairn

Just for some context on the numbers....
Car crash fatalities in the USA in 2019:
38,800 totalCOVID fatalities in the USA in 2020
176,474 and going up.Will almost definitely be at 200,000 Dead by end of September. Biggest tragedy of our lifetimes. Too bad the president is a moronic sociopath.
- Another way to look at it: the CURRENT death rate equals about one 9/11 every three days.********
- But doesn’t common flu kill 500K Americans per year?NBQ00
- half a million? fucking what? it tops out at an estimated 60k annually.face_melter
- well, not annually, it has varied between 12k and 60k in the past 10 years.face_melter
- think it may be estimated at around 500k globallykingsteven
- no NBQfadein11
- A commonly parroted conservative talking point is conflating worldwide and national numbers. Is it stupid or intentional, who knows.garbage
- Things as stupid as what NBQ said are going unchecked in American media.garbage
- And I'm including Facebook in that, because that's where most people get their moron on.garbage
- That flu argument is so stupid whatever the numbers are. Because flu happens in addition to Covid, it's not either/or...it's both.BaskerviIle
- The fucked art is that this didn’t have to be this bad. Failure of leadership.********
- oh fucking christ, guys i'm begging u please keep your families stay safe as possible, don't get provoked or get involved in activitiessted
- what would up with an infection.
please just ignore all the bs.
+... families close, and stay safe...sted - I must have confused numbers somewhere. I thought it's 500k annually in the US. Worldwide millions.NBQ00
- Nb context fails to consider total deaths that are excessive to regular medical deaths. And doesn't question the million forced I to unemployment and real effec********
- It's or actual deaths (think us tourism all be money to poor nations) and real numbers. I think a .4 % I crease is acceptable. But these little lockdowns********
- Are not acceptable nor basic liberty restrictions. And no this isnt the worst tragedy ever. It's actually not a big deal********
- Think of it this way. Media and chi a and no monkey see monkey do. Look out folks bad flu year for elderly. We are looking at a .4% increase. Stay safe. If that********
- Was the message. Would people really care accept those most susceptible. Or would u see what we do now of peoplike yea fuck it********
- evil intentions in high places...thanks dr.trumpneverscared
- 50k to >250k for 'influenza like illnesses' (covid isn't the flu but coronaviruses fall under that category) and deathboy thinks thats a .4% increase. right-oh.kingsteven
- Please be respectful. Deathy is more educated than most.face_melter
- rationalising this as a % increase of deaths is nuts. it was a prediction of 2.2m deaths that put you in to lockdown and you didn't give a shit then either.kingsteven
- Everyone would be back at work by now except that we’ve had idiots like deathboy arguing “this isn’t a big deal” since day one.********
- The real tragedy is that many of these America would still be alive if it weren’t for Trump and the swamp of goons who defend him at every turn.********
- deathy is so educated, he makes good jokes when the police pushes seniors and they start bleeding from the head... ohh soooo educated he is... his mentor mustneverscared
- feed him centipede shit all day long. ;)neverscared
- Another way to look at it: the CURRENT death rate equals about one 9/11 every three days.

Covid is already the third biggest cause of death in the US this year. Only cancer and heart disease have killed more.
Covid has killed more Americans than ALL types of accidents combined. More than double that of diabetes. Over 4X the amount who die from flu or pneumonia. Over 4X the number of suicides.
Most of this was preventable. But these morons keep telling others that it’s no big deal. Sorry to post such sad facts. My heart aches for all who have lost their loved ones.
- What can we do********
- Wear a mask, wash your damn hands, be a decent person who has respect for others, don’t spread nonsense on the internet.********

- It’ll all just go away *waves it off*scarabin
- These assholes who think they’re really intelligent have been downplaying the severity since the start. They have killed thousands with their words.********
- No matter how much worse it gets, these people will stick to their argument because they are blind to the continued influence effect.********

I keep hearing cases are increasing in Europe, is that because of the "reopening"? Cold weather is around the corner, is that going to be wave 2?
- Yes & Yes.shapesalad
- Well, merde.Maaku
- it's because people are in denial and determined to enjoy the summer like they usually do, incl some of my friends that post group pics on instagram,spl33nidoru
- more than 30 people on one of them, with the convenient #family hashtag, as if it prevents anything.spl33nidoru

Fastest man alive tests positive for coronavirus

Ooh, fun - it sounds like the various muted forms of sars-cov-2 across the world are genetically fairly distinct, so we can catch two different types on the trot!
https://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2020/0…
Also implies that herd immunity and vaccines might not be quite so useful endgames. Joy!
. o O ( I wonder if that means you can catch two at the same time? what fun!)
Might not be absolute - seems like this is the first verifiable instance and even then it's not 100% AND spreads across two domains of Sars-2, but still.
- meh, still full of "may"s ,"might"s & "possibly"shans_glib
- "perhaps importantly, no antibodies were found during the first infection"kingsteven
- first infection was in march when testing was shit, asymptomatic. either fought off with t-cells or a false positive test. second time a higher viral load andkingsteven

- Heh, if it's not about Diana's ghost I'm not clicking that link bad enough reading about covid on gizmodo :Dkingsteven
- Aye, sorry! Gizmodo (et al) and TechCrunch are two sites I can't stand using on the web :) (A shame, I used to love Gizmodo years back)Nairn
- Heh tbh i'm trying to avoid all the reporting on it. The covid19 reddit and an ocassional a glimpse at the local stats is enough to keep me in the house :)kingsteven
- ha, likewise - if i see anything of genuine novel interest (like I thought I had here) I'll give it a go. Otherwise, head in the sand.Nairn
- My wee one learnt to turn on the radio, which I set to classical FM. Every morning I'd end up listening to COVIDPANIC Media News and Gov't ads. Depressing.Nairn
