COVID-19 Response: An issue that shouldn't be at all political....yet here we are

[Crovash]

If you got a specific question I'll answer it.

My post look like all ABC's to me, so I dont even know what part would be confusing...

I was living in the greater NYC metro area in March and April, so I guess I missed all the left-wing media propaganda.

Yes you did. You lived in an area of actual outbreak. If you lived in Wisconsin you wouldnt have.

Another benchmark: “One million people worldwide have now died from confirmed coronavirus cases. It is a staggering toll — greater than the number of people estimated to have died from malaria, influenza, cholera and measles, combined, over the same period. And the real number of coronavirus deaths is almost certainly higher.

The U.S., with 4 percent of the world’s population, has suffered more than 20 percent of deaths.”

Deaths per capita, or total deaths?

70% of the worlds population are supposedly notorious for not reporting corona deaths (or not caring about cause of death).

The president is trying to force journalists to remove their masks before they ask him questions. The same guy who regularly takes questions next to a helicopter and can apparently hear the questions in that venue is saying the masks make it harder for him to hear the questions from journalists.

Only going by what is out there, not by what is “supposedly” out there.

And in the long run, the point remains: the United States screwed the pooch on this one.

What 70% is that?

America?

My hearing is so bad the masks made me realize how much I lipread to "hear" people. Are the people around the helicopter masked?

Yes, and what is out there can be interpreted in many different ways. Disregarding per capita is essentially lying for instance.

What?

What?

I have more trouble understanding what people say when I can't see their mouths because my hearing is not very good and I realized that I read peoples lips to differentiate the sounds.

If that is a problem, I suggest evaluating hearing aids.

sorry, that 'joke' doesn't work well in text....it's a thing I'm prone to do when someone tells me they didn't hear something

but, as someone who values hearing possibly more than sight, I can tell you there are just far too many new developments regarding hearing appliances to not do something about it....I fought my father for years on that and he simply wouldn't do it..........in my case, I still feel in my 60s I have above average hearing, but I also know some of it is learned listening skills...only in the last few months I've developed some tinitis and I don't like it
