There are such things as "preventable cancer deaths" and "preventable heart attacks" etc. And if a company or President was responsible for knowingly ignoring dangers that caused those deaths they should be held responsible.
No, it cannot. How you choose to get off does not qualify you as an ethnic minority. You might as well be trying to make the argument that drug addicts and alcoholics are ethnic minorities too, which is silly. Personal choices and preferences are not ethnic character traits. Just stop.
People that wear facemasks and practice social distancing are catching COVID so you’re going to have a really hard time making the case that Trump is liable for anything here.
No one wears a face mask 24/7. However Trump has lied about the severity of the virus and is on tape having known the truth. He knowingly used his office and campaigns to downplay the virus and sell snake oil, causing much more virus spread than necessary. I am sure there are other things we can find on Trump by shaking the trees, but there is more than enough there to hold him responsible.
It does if the state decides to persecute on the basis of sexual orientation, broadly speaking ethnic cleansing is the forced removal of a population. Or do you just want to derail the thread?
I don't think people are blaming Trump for the disease. They are blaming him for the botched response to the disease. And they allowed their displeasure to be known on November 3rd.
Because too many selfish, ignorant jackasses don't. Masks are not much protection for you but to keep you from infecting others.
That is the essence. Herd immunity was obviously something that Trump glommed onto early. It gave him an excuse for doing nothing. As long as it was merely a gimmick for the Trumpster audience, it didn’t matter. But it may have become policy. Which is another thing altogether.
Indeed. I'm glad that the moron, the quack known as Scott Atlas is out of the White House. One of the main reasons I voted for Biden, is to kick these incompetent "advisors" out.
Now all you have to do is show a significantly higher rate of infection among Republicans or that Democrats took a break on hating and distrusting him when it came to their health. Trump has no voice in California, how are they doing with Covid?
What possible relevance is that? Do you seriously contend that Covid makes decisions on whom to infect based on party affiliation?
It was in the news at one point that it was racist so why would it not target for political reasons as well /facepalm
Herd Immunity to you is a "gimmick"? Operation Warp Speed to you is "nothing"? You are one of the reasons i take breaks from this site.... Just saying.. Its frustrating as hell trying to discuss topics around here at times when you can expect logic like the above.
100% agree. If govt had said we'd lock down for a specific and pre-determined amount of time and then re-open, and guaranteed that re-openning with a law, no one would have objected. Unfortunately, govt (especially ours) is not fond of committing itself to limits, and has not demonstrated itself to be worthy of trust without them.
Cali had a very large homeless population - that was always going to be a disaster the lockdowns was where Trump REALLY f’ed up by not calling for lockdowns early so tracing could catch up and then by reopening too soon
Was not Trump the president of ALL Americans including Californians? Mind you it IS true republicans, well at least Fox News watchers have been harder hit https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-020-00977-7 This supports a suit targeting Fix hosts
