[W:108] The Liberal Way Of Handling Covid

The "liberal way of handling COVID" is to rely on this thing called science.

Science, leadership, communication and preparation.

On April 3 when the CDC said to wear masks Trump said he would not. This started the anti mask movement.

We heard on the Woodward tape that Trump new how dangerous this virus was. Trump not only withheld this information but went the opposite way and downplayed it.

Trump said the cupboard was left bare PPE supplies yet he had 3 years to restock it.

Trump confused the country with his misinformation campaign during his initial Coronavirus press conferences. He should have let the experts do the talking like every other country did.

Trump shut down travel from China(sort of) but he allowed 40K foreign nationals back into the country. The virus had already been in the US for two weeks. He did this BTW after 45 other countries had already shut down travel from China. Six weeks later he shut down European travel long after the virus had already reached our shores.

He cut the CDC presence in china by two thirds. He ended the pandemic early warning program.

He ignored numerous warnings from previous Presidents, Fauci, Azar etc. He refused to take meeting initially regarding the threat.

Lets not forget Trump just a month ago making fun of this outbreak...covid! covid! covid! he screamed at his packed rallies. Look at us now.

This list of his pathetic handling of the pandemic could go on and on.
 
Talk about it without really doing anything different. Los Angeles issues sweeping new restrictions which, after numerous exceptions to the order, mirrors what was already in place.


Biden did the same exact thing. Criticize Trump for how the US is doing, talk about a national mask mandate while 35 states already have one and Biden acknowledges that the federal government can't really have a national mask mandate, and then doing all of the very same things Trump was already doing.

Oh yeah, I forgot. The left claims that under Biden people will social distance better, wash their hands more frequently, and use hand sanitizer more often.

The Republican governor of Idaho did the same kind of thing. All the latest "new" orders are toothless requests/recommendations. I'm not keeping a tally, but I don't see why this is an especially "liberal" thing.
 
LOL. Just can't bring yourself to admit that California, New York, and Illinois are having major Covid problems, can you? I would go to Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota long before I went to California, in a heartbeat. Wouldn't even have to think about it. California even knows how bad they are. They've got new severe restrictions starting today.

Yes we do. And if the dumbasses who disobey the mandates don't start behaving themselves it will only get worse. The governor did the right thing, shutting down areas of the state based on ICU capacity, but unless he forces the idiots who can't behave to obey the law we won't make any headway. Enforcement is the key: take away the drivers license on the first offence for idiots illegally gathering or not wearing mask when they should and you will see how fast compliance goes up and the situation here improves.

Well, yeah. It's no different than some selfish idiot leaving his blackout curtains open during the blitz.
 
LOL. Yeah, that's what they have in California and Illinois and New York State. California daily cases 4000 at the beginning of the mask mandate, 18264 yesterday. Illinois had 2500 cases per day at the beginning of their mask mandate, 9757 yesterday. They are setting a great example and having consistent messaging. In New York State in the last 14 days case counts are up by 54%, deaths are up by 89%. Thank God they too are setting a great example and have consistent messaging. It really works, doesn't it?
And most of those are in Erie County. Run by a ****ing Democrat!! Go figure.

Lock everyone down, ruin their businesses, cost folks their jobs, and all the while if you made the rules you can ignore the rules and continue about your elitist lifestyle as you please.
 
Facts are something Liberals fear. Erie County has the HIGHEST number of cases across the entire state.

The virus is attracted by liberals. Ooga booga.
 
Lock everyone down, ruin their businesses, cost folks their jobs, and all the while if you made the rules you can ignore the rules and continue about your elitist lifestyle as you please.

Yes, because the unrestrained, non-locked down disease isn't harming the economy.

Once this destroys the economy, the Left can implement the Communism they've long sought out for.

You do realize that there is no business until the virus is under control, don’t you? People are buying what they need online. No one is eating at restaurants.
There is no return to normal until the pandemic is controlled and the fastest way to do that is a nationwide lockdown.
Pretty simple

Oh sure. Bills and rent/mortgages still have to be paid, genius. People still have to get around. Pretty hard to do any shopping even online IF THERE IS NO MONEY!!!!!!

Just a little bit of news for you: businesses are going to make enough money to pay even the rent if the customers don’t show up.
Until this is under control there is no thriving economy.
Genius

It would take six weeks- three virus cycles
After that people could return to work, businesses could reopen, and all kids could resume in person learning.
I know this concept is hard for you to grasp given your ignorant posts, but its the truth

Screw that! A month and a half would ensure economic devastation. Plus what the hell would we do being stuck in our homes with nothing to do but sit on our asses?

No, I'm sure the wingnut trumpsters will be obstinate and not abide by the precautions suggested. They will follow their cult leader.

That was a fantasy suggested by one of Biden's medical experts on his Covid task force. Even Biden told to him to shut the **** up.

Yes. Los Angeles, that bastion of "wingnut trumpsters"
