No it's really not relevant here as it's not Trump himself or the Whitehouse itself pushing it.
Your comment reads like something from r/iamverysmart.
I can quite assure you, if the aim is to avoid catching covid, stress isn't half as bad as not using infection control.
Yes. Welcome to the point everyone else arrived at pages ago. The point Dalisclock made. Which you told him, and I quote, "Sorry friend, you got had here".
Agree 100%,, simply highlighting the fact they ravenously run to the defense of his actions despite the clear evidence the man couldn't be bothered so much as to piss on them if they were on fire. It's like Stockholm Syndrome on racist steroids.
I never said it was a bioweapon, I said it came from a lab in Wuhan. Not the same thing. In fact Im pretty sure I specifically said I did not think it was a bioweapon, merely research that leaked due to malpractice.
Right because when has anyone in the White House EVER lied for him? When has any single person in that building embarrassed themselves, or shamed their position by quoting the President as if his words are facts, or simply read aloud prepared statements to make Trump seem less crazy.
If for a theory to be true it requires for every people assisting to every event to be part of the conspiracy; you need more evidence than just doubt. I don't remember other newspapers saying the it wasn't raining that day; so surely you have similar proof that none of the reported cases are actually true, don't you?
Given the record of everything Trump has said is a lie, and everything his administration has said has been a lie, I'm gonna have to ask you for more evidence than just their word.
That also applies to most recent things he has said. He said he no longer has it; that would mean he still has it. That's also a possibility... a more probably one than 20+ different people feigning to have been infected with COVID (with all and forged medical records) and no one being the wiser.
Donald Trump is recorded behind closed doors saying how covid is deadly and contagious.
Since I'm talking to someone acting like it's a heinous crime to say he feels better, I'd hardly say that's the point.
It's still reasonable to weigh the placebo effect against the effect of caution on spreading the disease in the first place. And the placebo effect loses that one hard.
There's little long term gain in caution on spreading. Just about everyone is going to be exposed to the virus in the end. We knew this at the start.
You believe he downplayed it on medical advice? Then why haven't medical experts been telling us its nothing to worry about? Why has that approach not been adopted by countries with more success with the virus than the USA?
They have. The experts have been saying that. The CDC has been saying most business shutdowns are bad policy. The pediatric groups said that closing schools was worse for the health of children than the virus. Overdoses are up 20-30%. Suicide hotlines had spikes in activity that they don't want to report the rate of. Reports of people avoiding hospitals and dying because of it because they were afraid of the virus. All of this is going on. Nobody is listening unless it suits their politics.
Well, technically there are no laws against him defecating on his desk, fingerpainting the Oval Office with it and then signing an executive order demanding it be called "art". But it would be an extraordinarily stupid thing to do, would it not?
This isn't a result of shutting things down, it's a result of shutting things down in a particular way-- without sufficient financial support.
You are incorrect. That was the trend at the height of covid stimulus, when people were getting unprecedented support. Giving people money doesn't counteract telling people to hide in their homes perpetually from imminent death.
