TRUMP Thread

Show me the last time 200K+ Americans died from the flu in 8 months?

WTF are you smoking????

 

And according to the CDC, 94% of the people who died "from" COVID had, on average, 2.6 co-morbidities. Do you know what that means? it means 50% of those people had AT LEAST 3 other underlying issues.

Coupled with some governors forcing nursing homes to take COVID patients, causing mass casualties of older people.

 

Death shouldn't be the only metric because unlike the flu the lasting effects are detrimental to your health. It leaves holes in the lungs people never breathe the same again. Funny how so many of y'all want to right this off as something less than what it is with literally no medical or scientific training. Scientist and medical professionals across the world have reached a consensus on the virus yet keyboard warriors who have no actual qualifications or proof outside of unsupported right propaganda insist on spreading misinformation. Even if what you say is actually correct this country has a huge obese population this country has a huge population of people with untreated illnesses because of the poor health care system so the same measures should be taken to protect those people from a highly contagious virus. So much for the pro life party

 

Someone with hypertension would have lived a long life with medication until they got Covid. If a person with hypertension gets Covid and dies, the cause of death is Covid.

We keep having the same conversation as if you want to lower the death rate of Covid.

If you are old and on your natural path to live to be 99 (and in my mother's family, that is the norm) and at 75 get Covid. You died of Covid.

It's been shown Trump officials have interfered with CDC on Covid reporting. So please don't buy into it. You are way under the influence. We may not get you back.

 

Exactly, if underlying conditions were the cause of death they wouldn't be called "underlying conditions."

 

I do not know why this is so hard for people to understand.

 

Because they aren't thinkers. They are feelers. They operate based on how they "feel" about everything & everyone around them. And it's always the negative emotions (anger, fear, hatred) that drives their "logic".

 

Exactly. I hate how some people have been talking as if it’s perfectly ok for someone to die of Covid because he had „underlying conditions“.
I know a 46 y/o man who died of Covid. He was a diabetic and had hypertension. Both were medically well managed and not stopping him from living his life normally. He has 3 kids. Most adults have one underlying condition or the other when they get to a certain age. We’re not talking of terminally ill cancer patients here.

 

Sums it up perfectly. People just look at the mortality rate and forget that a lot of the “cured” people aren’t healthy and will never be again.
Then the pro life issue...I’ve been saying I don’t understand how “pro-lifers” can be so nonchalant about lives lost.

 

Absolutely! It's the heights of ridiculous arguments/reasoning. Nowadays, people who are HIV positive and have other STDs with treatment live a lot longer. However, everyone (rightfully) still does what they can to avoid getting those diseases. It's simply mindboggling how some throw out lame attempts to minimize COVID-19 and related deaths. This, all because they're worshipping someone who's undoubtedly the stupidest POTUS ever as he continues his lame attempts to sell snake oil.

Agreed! They're so determined to sell COVID-19 as no big deal that they'll say anything.
