Presidents choose to make it political. They should spend more time trying to unite us and less time trying to divide us we’d be much better off.
Because the president and his reichwing will always choose the side of ignorance and the politicize it. Never in my life did i think “follow medical professionals advice” would be a political statement. The GOP has lost their way and unfortunately a third of the country is applauding them and following them. Divisive, immoral, corrupt leaders do that to a country! minotaurfightstore | minotaurfightstore

Bolded: I doubt this wording’ll help unite us (even if it is in some ways apropos).

Yup. It's still the flu.

Also, there are some disturbing indications that the virus might have residual effects long after patients seem to have recovered, and there are indications even that it can be linked to the circulatory system, potentially increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, aneurysms.

Of course, no way of dealing with this will be without its fatalities, and I don’t fault countries necessarily for choosing one approach over another, as long as they pay as close attention as possible to the known science (easier said than done, I’m sure).

Yes I agree. We’re not even sure that having the virus produces antibodies. 90% who test positive may not be contagious but we don’t test enough to make that stat reliable.

So much unknown.

Trump says it’s not. Fauci says it’s not. WHO says it’s not. Most reputable infectious disease experts say it’s not and also that the flu is still pretty bad and not something to shrug off as “just the flu”.

Who says it is?

It's ridiculous that he just sat on that **** for how many months now? As soon as Trump was talking about it not being dangerous he should have released that tape.

Knuckle-dragging partisan science denying dregs of society.

It was never a viable stance, and is even more laughable, pathetic, idiotic, and downright disgusting now. Much like supporting Trump in any way, shape, or form. It’s historically dumb, and the GOP and his cultish followers will gladly die on such an undeniably false stance even when their gloriously stupid and constantly lying leader admits it, and admits to lying about it as a hideous attempt to make his failures look better.

My bad. It's a virus without a vaccine that is just like the flu without a vaccine. Better?

I'm sorry you guys want trump out of office so bad that you're willing to **** the world's economy over it. I'm not in favor of that and I think that says more about your politics than it says about my politics.

It's a flu like virus that that sucks *** just like the flu would suck *** without a vaccine. And don't give me this horse **** that the flu vaccine is only 30% accurate (or was that valade). The flu vaccine is 67% effective.

You guys can give me all the **** you like. I'm fine with that.
