Don't be ridiculous. What does demagoguing on China have to do with the US response being an utter catastrophe? The two most immediate predecessors to DtC both stopped pandemics in their track which did not originate within our borders.

you might want to wait before lighting the celebratory candles considering as for now it's not even in hypothesis state.

LOL. I don't think not politicizing it is in the POTUS plan.

But the difference is whatever I think of these 18-30yo partying in Lake Missouri, they aren't in positions of leadership.

If anyone is going to come out with one it will be China. But truly I don't either considering almost 10 years later they never got one for SARS-COV-1. And 38 years later there's none for HIV, another pesky retrovirus. In fact I've watched in awe as TRILLIONS of taxpayer dollars have been handed out to companies who have a one hit wonder headline about their "breakthrough" only to never be heard about again.

This. Exactly. It's a nightmare with no end in sight.

Sadly the only "gross misrepresentation" is you now posting a link that has nothing at all to do with your original assertion which was that COVID-19 deaths were largely the 70+ elderly in Skilled Nursing Homes. (try looking up the median age on residents in these institutions some time) Not only doens't your link support that , but you've now included the death 65+. PS - no excuses necessary. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/08/us/doctor-family-florida-reopening-coronavirus/index.html

I think the keyword was original https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_swine_flu_pandemic_in_the_United_States

And that is absolute bunk as well as morally bankrupt to laugh even if it were true. Much like in Queens and the Bronx, here in florida the persona is formerly perfectly healthy grandparents living with the family watching the kids so Mom can work who would have been alive for another 10 years if the radical right and their politicians had promoted mask wearing and followed health expert best practice w.r.t reopening. These are people who fought a world war and sacrificed everything for this country in their youth and the types of people who won't even do something as minimally inconvenient such as wear a mask ... I can't even find words for. This doctor and his family got the coronavirus when they relaxed rules along with Florida's reopening

More like the route of a continued misinformation campaign that will ultimately take out 1.5-2.5 million people AND crash the economy. But DtC got to hand out the next two generations SS and Medicare to his big donors, so they'll be just peachy as usual. which I assume is your primary concern per your ongoing message content.

Um.. I believe the article says it was Bolsonoro who infected them. Therefore whether they were wearing masks was not the issue. It is ironic the only other nation on the trajectory of a loss of life in the millions is Donald tRump's mini-me demagogue in Brasil. If you have been following Bolsonoro's reign, you'd understand why it would be a waste of time to ask him to wear a mask at least as much as DtC.

We've already surpassed our entire loss of life in the world wars. With no end in sight. 150k deaths of people, most of whom near certainly would not be dead if there had been a competent and benevolent federal response to this virus when it surfaced in January instead of a willful misinformation campagin.

On a trajectory to 2.5 million. I guess 140,000 ain't enough ? But don't worry; I'm sure the economy won't' be impacted /snortle

Wrong again. US History clearly shows the corporate charter was issued by the states with a limited period and with a mandate to furfil a service needed by the public. It wasn't until the Republican Party and their Plutocrats on the SCOTUS ruled in Santa Clara County vs. Pacific Railroad that this nonsense yoru ilk spouts about corporations being citizens was formulated .. naturally with none of the responsibility of citizens ... Ihttps://www.history.com/news/14th-amendment-corporate-personhood-made-corporations-into-people The point is, business has no inherent right to do anything and to do things harmful to the citizenry is very much against the founding father's intent.

What does that have to do with the price of eggs in Egypt?

Obviously. With no end in site. But the Republican Party got to spend their hated middle class "entitlements' on their donors via PPP so all's well right? Pay no attention to the 2.5M death trajectory.
