“Fox News may have kept millions from taking the coronavirus threat seriously”

93% of the deaths being counted as Covid-19 had 2.5 conditions or causes in addition to Covid that are listed as the cause of death or underlining issue..

So yes a personal with Terminal cancer that gets Covid or is assumed to have Covid gets counted as a Covid death..

So what is your issue? Its why i have an issue with the "Official" number being presented as it is.

 

Pelosi following Trump's guidelines? Hahaha!

 

You can criticize Trump for a lot of things, but he has has not made critical mistakes over Covid like Cuomo.

Biden is running for President & he has not offered anything for solutions. His suggestions are so vague, because he has no answers.

This plan is hysterical .... my 12 year old had better ideas with more specifics.

* A Decisive Public Health Response
* A Decisive economic response

Didn’t Biden say he thinks the stimulus should fund the Green New Deal, Tuition forgiveness & reparations?

What would that do for covid-19?

Trump fixed New York’s problems by getting them far more ventilators than was needed & he had hospitals built in days.

Trump was not the one who did not act when the CDC warned Cuomo that they needed more ventilators a couple years ago.

It was De Blasio who auctioned off his excess ventilators, not Trump.

Trump was not the one who forced Nursing Homes to take Covid-19 positives patients.

Cuomo is responsible for thousands of deaths.

Trump says & does a lot of stupid things, but
He has not crashed & burned like Cuomo with His coronavirus response.

The new spike in cases blame should go to governors & mayors who have allowed protests daily for the past month.

I live in a conservative town in Massachusetts “believe it or not there are conservative areas in blue states” that votes conservative. We did not protest & we have very few cases.

 

Let’s continue.....

In reference to Covid19 science, the Democrats are unified, whereas the Republicans are still divided into 4 groups;

Group # 1; “We have hundreds of thousands of people dying from smoking related illnesses, and we don’t shut down the economy for that.

Group # 2; The Pro herd immunity/Pro Sweden’s strategy.

Group # 3; The anti-masks/social distancing measures.

Group # 4; A silent group, however, many have recently shouted “Wear a damn mask!”

Note; Group 1, 2, and 3 have/will all be proven wrong.

 

Let’s continue....

Knowing what we know now, Taiwan implemented the best strategy, however, evidently, “We’re not Taiwanese!” For anyone’s info, Taiwan authorities have not mandated their citizens to wear masks......early on, they’ve stopped exporting masks/protective gear, and they’ve mandated several factories to convert to making masks/protective gear.....DUE to a very high domestic/UNIFIED demand, and in an effort to keep the cost down.

 

“Fox News may have kept millions from taking the coronavirus threat seriously”

Since they tend to support Trump they are killers, right?

 

20/20 hindsight is oh so helpful.

 

But the facts they presented surely seem to validate their point, it is the very States that went along with Trump and the Trump "facts" that are seeing the rapid spread of the virus today

 

Last I knew, in a time of crisis, especially a generational crisis as this one is, Americans rely on their leaders to offer direction, and if that is lacking, the last thing they expect, or should be receiving, is misdirection for personal political purposes, and contributing to the sham, the irresponsibility of a major news network of going along and even prompting the ruse

 

Can try this, but I don't know, I get the Post free with subscription to my local newspaper, actually get a few others which is nice

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/06/25/fox-news-hannity-coronavirus-misinformation/

 

So, what's your point?

Are you implying that Trump along with Fox didn't downplay the virus, or that, after cherry picking what probably has to be thousands of articles from hundreds of headlines over the course of months, that other sources also downplayed the threat of the virus?

 

So you are telling us that COVID hasn't killed thousands of Americans, that it doesn't spread via social contact, that there exists no treatments to address it nor a vaccine to eliminate it, and it never merited closing down the economy?

 

No on said they were killers, rather that their continuous endorsement of what are Trump fabrications downplaying the virus may have contributed to the death count by fooling people as to the real threat of the virus

 

That is exactly what we're implying, or to use Democratically approved words: We're all in it together, and that includes when we mess up together. No one knew about how serious this virus was, until it got serious. Well, now it's serious. In addition, a lot of the inconsistency by the 'experts' has fueled this situation and we shouldn't be shocked if "upon further discovery" something else is going to happen. Because that's been the only constant.

 

And Fox News aired everyone of the President’s Wuhan virus press briefings

 

I suppose those too young to remember Katrina may still look to the government for help. Politicians in both parties screwed the pooch on Corona Virus.

 

And that's the thread.

 

You prefer the hysteria. That's OK but that isn't the approach I take.

 

WTF.??

 

and what else did he do?
Did he immediately allocate funds for contact tracing? Allocate funds for additional quarantine measures?

immediately start testing?

ensure all states were equipped to deal with the threat?

what else did he do?

 

~ When I look at the CDC stats for common seasonal flu hospitalization rate vs Wuhan virus I can see why many do not panic about any of this. In general the average population realize there is much hype, guesswork , theatrical "news" reporting and politics involved. Suspicious why CDC keeps delaying the death count of seasonal flu as opposed to previous years.
Common sense prevails and we do well that way.

 

Since when did “the flu” cause 125,000 deaths in less than 5 months?

 

Wake us up when the common flu will ever kill 120,000 WITH a three months lockdown.

You are, however, a posterboy for the disinformation that Fox news is spreading. It is sad that so many normal people actually believe it and continue watching Fox as their only "news" source.

 

They don't need any. they have belief

 

And if Trump shut down the country and saved everyone, you'd be claiming he destroyed the economy for no reason.

Is there an actual political debate in this thread or is this the same old same old "orange man bad" thread?
