Trump, Feb. 27: Trump hails his administration’s handling of the coronavirus, and while he does reveal a hint of uncertainty, he says: “It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.”

Trump, Feb. 28: Trump shouts at a rally in South Carolina that Democrats’ criticism of his response (which proved entirely accurate) is “their new hoax.”

Biden, Feb. 28: Biden goes on CNN and says Trump has yet to “gain control” of the coronavirus, while calling on Trump to stop downplaying it and urging him instead to “let the experts take this over” and “let the experts speak.”

Trump, March 9: Trump dismissively compares the coronavirus with flu, claiming flu kills tens of thousands annually and that “life & the economy go on.”

Trump, March 10: Trump again hails the “great job” he’s doing on the coronavirus, and declares: “It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”

Biden, March 12: Biden gives a speech stressing the importance of presidential truth-telling amid crises, noting that Trump’s ongoing falsifications risk leaving Americans without reliable guidance, compounding “public fears.”

Trump, March 13: Asked about the administration’s epic failure to ramp up testing, Trump declares: “I don’t take responsibility at all.”

Biden, March 15: Biden responds to that Trump quote by reiterating his call for widespread free testing, and by declaring: “It is the job of the president to take responsibility — and his response is unacceptable.”

Trump, March 17: After all that, Trump preposterously proclaims: “I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”

It’s worth stressing that all this public dismissiveness by Trump reflects a mind-set that has had horrifying and extensive real-world consequences.

Weird how it doesn’t mention Biden back tracked and said Trump should of locked down travel from China faster.
Is this another salon article or something?

youre right nothing in the article said he caught it at work, wasn't a conspiracy theory though. its still business as usual. so I guess when the next one passes away that was in his work area would that be considered catching it at work in your opinion?

I'm hearing so much crazy about how you can catch it that I have become a germaphobe in the last couple of weeks wearing gloves , masks and hand sanitizing and washing like crazy.

work is definitely one place I can catch it but that's not a definite that it happened there. If you do the community investigation and find that people are catching it from each other at work then yes you have a problem there.

I also see a lot of people in the stores that are clearly not taking this threat seriously, I still see people having conversations where their face to face, people doing the bro hug etc.

I am no expert on this but I think people are probably catching it when they don't take the threat seriously

10,966 dead Americans. 11,000 is right on the horizon. 368,174 known infected. Trump excited to put his signature on another bailout.

FOX NEWS crucified Obama, the WAPO was more reality based, but they nailed him too.

The NY TIMES was particularly abusive of Obama...they called him out on just about everything.

I was there, I can’t remember any news outlet giving Obama a ‘pass’.

Unless you’re talking CNN or MSNBC.

It’s nothing like the pass that FOX NEWS is giving Trump.

total fabrication

Media Backlash to Trump-Backed Meds for COVID-19 Shows That He 'Could Find a Cure' And Still Get Bad Press

I really wish they would get an antibody test, if they would get that, they could figure out who is immune, whos had it and recovered etc. Then they could start reopening businesses that are closed with those people etc. just my thought.

keep in mind that china lied all the way through January about this virus and the WHO supported their dishonesty. We've basically had two months to deal with this threat and we're learning as we go. the antibody solution is one of the trials being run presently. There are many possible vaccines in the development process where it normally takes years .

two months is light speed for our medical community

Unfortunately, this virus is gonna RAGE through the southern states, and the western states.

Sad, really.

If there’s even one case in your state, it’s gonna pop.

Just saying.

you dont know that

One of our sleeper team drivers tested positive. He thinks he caught it after going to a hub in NJ. Doesn't really matter where to catch it. You bring it back with you and spread it around.

what kind of contact did he make with someone in NJ . did he get too close to someone?
does he know anyone at home that has it, i would look there first. it can happen in NJ but less likely with incidental contact.

 

[newfie]

.. Im pretty sure ive already had the virus and half of my co workers.

You may be right , many carry it and never show symptoms. it will be interesting to see what people find when the home kits become available.

Completely agree, I was just being told I was pushing a conspiracy theory which I am not.

the conspiracy theory would be assuming you're catchign it through work when there are other realistic possibilies

Public response led by the opposition can affect the support for the actions the president takes.
there are times when the opposition should simply say he's the president and we need to support him and his efforts to fight this disease.

 

[newfie]

Yes

you do understand how exponential constipation replication works

cause @BrownArmy is presently demonstrating

Biden, Feb. 1: Biden tweets: “We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to lead the way with science.”

this is the stretch where biden criticized trump for his xenophobia in shutting down flights from china. did you intentionally omit that from your chronology because it did not fit your narrative?

It doesn’t. It just shows Biden agrees with Trump’s actions.
