Semi-OT: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Discussion Thread

[wade44]

Since everyone (including mods) wants to make this thread a major political affair, what do you all think of the Biden rape allegation?

shhh, thats a secret. These people only care about human rights depending on how they vote.

That or they never heard about it through the non bias media.

Same people who were ranting and raving when kavanaugh was appointed by the president and silent when it comes to the democratic presidential nominee. That how democrats work. Major hypocrites and will never admit their wrongs. There's a reason CNN is so looked down upon

Trump is obviously really wrong here about the disinfectants, but the liberal media & democratic party tips the scales as the real wack jobs in all this

[MotownMadness]

The president should act like things he says matters, especially in a confusing pandemic, and especially when the whole point of these sessions is to allow Americans to become more informed.

Blaming people for listening to the president makes no sense.

We need actual facts to be disseminated. It's difficult enough to understand what is going on and what can be done about it. We don't need the president to be speculating about hazardous procedures right now, it shows very poor leadership that he chose to do that, and even moreso that he said he specifically spread misinformation to essentially troll the media during a national presser.

The Q and A is the best part though. Thats where the media gets to ask how many people he wants to see die and ask about Joe Exotic.

I blame the media for spinning it into what he did not say. I've already conceded that he shouldn't be speaking on such matters, leave all the medical stuff to the doctors.

Trump was asking the doctors if this type of treatment was possible. How did that turn into him telling or suggesting that people to inject disinfectant into their bodies? I'm sorry but this did not happen.

I don't think so. But lets try and get this thread off of all the Trump discussion. There is enough of that on the boards that it's for. I know this is a hard topic to discuss without talking about him and what he does but lets try to talk about how it's impacting various people, cities, countries, #s, tests, experiences, etc.

Great idea!

All these idiots defending trump on here don’t realize they are getting blocked so fast hardly anyone is even reading their comments. They might as well be writing their comments on their toilet paper and then flushing them.

[wade44]

Funny how the democrats who are behind the whole political correctness movement can't fault one of their own when he is accused of raping a woman. I encourage everyone reading this to vote conservative no matter your financial position or political position. While Trump says idiotic & questionable things, he still knows how to lead a great economy and get everyone employed including african americans and minorities. Liberals are the real poison to society

Please dont block us oh no!!!!!! And please dont drink bleach cause the TV said too

[13th Man]

Nobody suggested for anybody to drink bleach except perhaps the media. They like to put a spin on things to fit their narrative.

[wade44]

Sad state of affairs in the democratic world of today

Trump blundered but the media is being dishonest about it as usual. He was exactly what he said,

"And then I see the disinfectant.... where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that? ummmm... By injection, or, almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets on the lungs and it does a tremendous job on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. "

Notice that he said do something like that....and almost like a cleaning. To me this is interpreted as some type of treatment by injection that could cure the virus, not specifically the disinfectant itself.

Media is being complete and utter agenda pushing idiots w/ this injecting of disinfectants thing - I get on to do my daily review of the news and see they a STILL harping about this nonsense and the other crap related to that drug he recommended a few weeks ago.

How is this crap the news of the day? Really? Two things that don’t matter at all in the grand scheme and serve no other purpose than to undermine our president?

As if anyone was going to injest bleach over that comment? As if anyone can access a drug w/o a doctors Rx? Neither of these things matter at all, but they are all that the headlines are about.

The media is really is shell of its former self.

Yes Trump has his issues, but the media’s agenda is far worse.

This “disinfectant-gate” scandal they’ve manufactured over basically nothing is a perfect example. They won’t be happy until they create close to a modern day civil war over this ****.

Well, if you're talking about Fox News, of course, you're right.

Florida latest. From DeSantis today:

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article242289281.html

- No in-person sports (fans) in May
- No theaters yet
- Positive testing percentage rate seems to be improving (dropping)

“What we’re seeing is the percentage of people that go in to test and test positive is declining,” he said. “If you look at the last week, the average positive rate for new individuals was about 7.5%. So that’s a good sign that things are going in a good direction.”

https://covidtracking.com/data/state/florida#historical
Based on this site, through April 24, Florida had a positive test percentage rate of around 9.5% (30,174 positives in 316,959 tests). So if the rate is now going towards 7.5%, instead, that does seem like an improvement.

Trump cultists really out in full force here

Where do you get your news? So many good outlets like Jimmy Kimmel live, Seth Meyers or do you like Whoopi and the Hocus pocus lady in the morning for your politics?

Or go for the home run of non bias networks like CNN where they feed debate questions ahead of time to democrats and still lose and cry 24/7 cause Trump hurt their little feelings over exposing them as fake news.

What about the anti-malarial drug that Trump promoted for weeks, at least, as a “game-changer” miracle cure for covid-19 — you know, the one that has been found to cause such serious heart problems that the FDA had to warn against it. Was that a media plot also?

Democrats are the laughing stock to the whole world. So much so that it still makes sense to vote republican despite how idiotic trump is at times. The man knows how to manage a great economy that gets everyone working whether people like it or not (again despite him being borderline stupid at times)

See the media has to call it a cure for sheep like yourself. Most logical people probably assumed he was talking about helping symptoms to keep someone from a ICU where the side effects are a thing called death while theres no medical treatments out there.

You guys also jumped on it like a big harm to society without realizing a doctor has to prescribe you a antibiotic like a ZPack.

So now you guys are worrying about drinking fish bowel cleaner and bleach, Bahhhhhh
