Remember, he’s not a Trump supporter.

The country put reasonable protections around the train tracks which kids ignored ... when a kid gets hurt ignoring the warnings the lawsuits usually don't even make it to court.

Ok scoots, I concede.

**** them!

It's not political but Trumpers would have you believe otherwise.

Their anti science views are endangering our lives again.

Has there ever been a leader, never mind a president, openly encourage the public to rebel against their own policy? Lol. I know it’s solely political because he only cares about his re-election, but it’s hilarious. Like sad hilarious. You guys are getting laughed at so bad around the world.

People that protest with guns are not the same kind of "conservatives" that like authority. The far right does not like the police or government in general.

Plenty of places could partner with super markets to deliver food, or even help them with their online ordering capacity.

Yea I have a friend that works in the restaurant industry. They have to sell something like 60 meals to go a day for the restaurant to break even. Surprisingly enough they've been able to do a couple hundred a day.

As an aside there should probably be healthcare workers going around and making sure these places are taking proper precautions or they could easily end up a hotbed of transmission.

Nothing in that article blames Hannity. The NY Times itself doesn’t even come close to blaming Hannity. You are a liar.

What it does is show an example of people who were misinformed by a POTUS and his state run media (Fox) that lie, spread false information, and downplay a pandemic they didn’t take seriously and failed to respond to. You don’t seem to have much of an issue with the factual reporting of Hannity calling the virus a hoax and then changing his attitude. Probably because it reflects your own trajectory.

And somehow you still beat your chest downplaying it and posting this article and lying about it. What the **** is wrong with you?

The NYT did not blame Hannity for a death. You made that up.

If anything it blames Trump’s narrative, accurately. One proven to be wrong that you still defend.

Stop deflecting you coward lol.

Hannity is mentioned as an example of the media pushing the false narrative (Trump’s) that the virus is fake and not a big deal. It’s totally fair game and appropriate to mention Hannity since he strongly said the same thing. He’s very relevant, no matter how desperately you don’t want him to be.

Why lie about this?

---

Hannity is mentioned in the article.

Early in March Sean Hannity went on air proclaiming that he didn’t like the way that the American people were getting scared “unnecessarily.’’ He saw it all, he said, “as like, let’s bludgeon Trump with this new hoax.”

Eventually, Fox changed course and took the virus more seriously, but the Joyces were long gone by then. A spokeswoman for Fox News said that Mr. Hannity made statements taking the spread of coronavirus seriously early on, and that his comment about the public being scared by the coverage happened after the Joyces had left on their cruise.

they are giving blame to Hannnity or they would not have mentioned him.

Could you provide the paragraph before and after the one that you cut and pasted? You know, the one that attributed the quotes to the man's daughter and the one that stated Fox's response.

And why aren’t we testing the right people? Until we can get testing to a reasonable level, we should stop verifying those who are recognizably sick and start testing the people who are likely to be spreading Covid, we continue to be reacting and not being proactive.

---

Why can't we be better? Because it's expensive, and would require time travel.

As far as testing the "right" people ... I think the doctors are doing the best they can, but it's going to be decided at a very local level. The best solution is to make sure we have enough tests spread out all over the place so that people who want to be tested can get tested.
