    You do know most corona viruses are seasonal right?

    Which is why it gets difficult to take post here seriously with the specious attacks mostly based on their conjecture and misrepresentations such as "Trump called the virus a hoax".

    He was a bit occupied then with shampeachment.

    Dr. Fauci has said it may ease when it warms up, we don't know yet. Normally warm humid air causes airborne viruses to sink to the ground rather than stay in the air. You prefer CNN dingbats for your science? The 'experts' like the WHO and CDC got a lot wrong.

    You can't make a Trump lie look like an attempt to give people hope.

    Still waiting for a lie. The same LW that said for years his denial of the collusion delusion was a lie.

    Are you apologizing for Trump who said....it was the warm weather. I hope you’re not clinging to that farce. You do know how much warmer FLA and Louisiana are right now and have been. Including highly infectious areas in the world that are much warmer.

    If anyone is jerkin' their knees it's those of you accusing the President of xenophopia for saying "china virus or shutting down travel. Then you accuse him of being too positive. So Alinsky 101 "never let a crisis go to waste"......and you are playing it to the hilt.

    They are lies. They are not based in fact. You’re mother can lie to you and give you hope. The president is suppose to be a fact person....Trump never saw a fact he like.

    He lies. He says things not based on facts. We have a terrible testing system. We only know how many are sick by who shows up at the hospital .

    Do some research. It’s not the warmth that changes a virus infection rate. It’s a non ancillary factor that leads people to false believes....out and out lies.

    Wow, in a thread about Trump inspiring hope, look at what his underlyings have to say about Obama. At least it's not saying he should be killed.

    Facts save lives. Trump promotes the false information. His constant promotion of malaria medication when is totally un proven is a farce. He’s a farce....

    It would help if he made sure that the drugs he is publicly supporting were approved by the FDA.

    His minions will point to people who were “ saved” when over 90% are “saved” and don’t die any way if they don5 take it. It’s how people used to sell snake oil for illnesses that had a high re overly rate regardless. It’s a political move.....a side show.

    He doesn’t believe in the FDA, unless it’s to give him drugs for his high blood pressure and male pattern baldness.
    He and Steven miller sit around all day looking for ways to scam the government and his minions.

    I wouldn't say that. There's no reason to personally attack him, he's not an idiot. He's smart enough to get this far.

    Um . . . you were the one lamenting that nobody to the Right of Center ever said anything nice about Obama; and now you are complaining about it? Isn't that sort of like the collective response to the CoronaVirus? Trump was a racist for insisting that flights be curtailed from China and then he was wrong because he did not curtail them soon enough. Nancy Pelosi and Cuomo and De Blasio agreed with Trump early on that it was too early to switch to nation wide self isolation and then the Left blames Trump for not having done so soon enough . . . and so forth and so on.

    The snake oil selling of antimalarial drugs are more than enough to personally attack Trump.

    If you were stricken with the Wuhan virus and were at the point there was little hope, is it safe to assume you would reject the offer to take this drug?
    Careful with your answer as it will be bookmarked by many here.

    Excellent Cuomo was told how many ventilators he should have in inventory, he inventoried none. He closed down hospitals so that the rest of the country would have to foot the bill for a hospital ship and converting the Javits Center. We shouldn't have to carry water for a governor who underestimated the threat of the pandemic.

    It isn't a surprise that Andrew Cuomo failed miserably. He was the author of the mortgage meltdown who was not held accountable.
