Jennifer Rubin: More Republicans Than Democrats Will Die Because RW Media is Downplaying Coronavirus

I'm going to start answering any question I'm asked at work with "Fauci warns" and then make some crap up.

That dude "warns" about more stuff than anybody I have ever seen. I just know he used the word "could" & "possibly" at least 20 times in his wedding vows.

 

Speaking in non-dogmatic statements is generally a sign of an expert.

Trump saying that his responses are 10/10 and that the tests are perfect, like the transcription was perfect, is a sign of a ****ing moron.

 

Not according to Trump.

 

Yes, I agree that other cultural issues may contribute to infections aside from political ideology. I also believe the prevalence of co-morbidities within specific demographics will also have a significant impact.

I do not agree with the notion that those issues are outpacing (and certainly not in a manner that's particularly bad for Democrats) political ideology. It's a subject that would need further analysis, but almost certainly will never be answered in an impartial manner because very few researchers would care to try and determine the political ideologies of tens of thousands of dead or sick individuals.

 

No. No logic was used in that so called 'study.'

 

Florida Officials Won’t Release Coronavirus Death Toll Data,

And on a historical note....

In 1720 the city of Marseille, Southern France on the Mediterranean Sea, allowed a ship from Bubonic plague-ridden Cyprus into port, under pressure from merchants who wanted the goods and didn’t the patience to sit out for the usual quarantine period. More than half the population of the city, 50,000 persons, died over the next two years. And then another 50,000 died in the surrounding towns.

You post this as if there's some parallel to today.

 

“And now let us set another city over against another man. The next form of government is oligarchy, in which the rule is of the rich only; nor is it difficult to see how such a State arises. The decline begins with the possession of gold and silver; illegal modes of expenditure are invented; one draws another on, and the multitude are infected; riches outweigh virtue; lovers of money take the place of lovers of honour; misers of politicians; and, in time, political privileges are confined by law to the rich, who do not shrink from violence in order to effect their purposes.”(Plato, The Republic, 275 B.C, p. 70)(pdf).

America’s billionaire class has added $308 billion to its wealth in four weeks from mid-March to mid-April (an increase of 10.5%), even as a record 26 million people lost their jobs, struggling to get unemployment compensation.

The oligarchs have us by the throat. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds warns that workers who don’t return to work over fears of contracting COVID will be deemed to have quit their jobs and lose unemployment insurance.

Today, the American deathwatch under Trump has reached 67,781 persons.

FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio holds 67,895 persons.

Does anyone know where the ignore butt....

 

The truth must be too much for you to handle.

 

Meanwhile, back in the real world, New York and California, two solid blue states, have the worst corona infection rates by far.

 

Those "two solid blue states" have multiples times the number of Republicans than "sold red states" like alabama and arkansas.

 

You seem to believe, weirdly and without any evidence, that the infection is localized among Republicans. At the state level, it's hitting blue states hardest. At the county level, it's hitting blue counties hardest. You noted that there doesn't appear to be any good data on the political persuasions of the individuals dying, and so aside from some demographic data around race, age, gender, and geography (at least two of which suggest Dems are bearing the brunt of COVID-19), it's tough to draw concrete conclusions, but you seem more than happy to, or at least insinuate that you are.

 

Now we know why all the lies, hoarding of essential medical supplies, the secrecy of the Trump's Pandemic Task Forces, advisors moving money around. The Republican party elite began hunkering down months ago and continued to downplay the danger. 3,000 deaths a day would be about 90,000 deaths a month. The number of current cases of COVID-19 in the nation is about 25,000 daily.

Shocking Draft FEMA Report Sees 200,000 COVID-19 Cases, 3,000 Deaths Daily By June 1

Here is what 90,000 persons look like for one month's death toll if FEMA's statistical projections are correct. I hope you moved your 401k and stocks money out of the stock market.

Los Angeles Coliseum seats 90,000 persons.
