    ALL of the Covid-19 infections in those 3 states ORIGINATED from the International Airports that the responsibility of the Federal Government which your criminal IMPOTUS is directly in charge of ensuring are SAFE!

    His FIRING of the Obama Pandemic team (research that on Snopes) is probably one of the most EGREGIOUS failures of his regime since that is who would have been responsible for implementing testing from infected regions.

    That FAILURE is how it started. His SECOND failure was to NOT act quickly once he did find out. By DISPARAGING the Covid-19 epidemic he ENABLED it to take hold and spread. His INACTION will prove DEADLY in this regard.

    His THIRD failure is NOT using the first available test and getting it ready and dispersed to those areas.

    It is DISINGENUOUS to blame those state governors since they had no part to play in PREVENTION, TESTING and TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS.

    The criminal IMPOTUS is the one that MUST be held ACCOUNTABLE for his FAILURES!

    It is already way too late for effective containment measures.

    All that we have left is to try FLATTENING THE CURVE with Extreme Social Distancing.

    It is something where EVERYONE has a role to play and a RESPONSIBILITY towards their fellow Americans.

    Only We the People can now save ourselves given how badly your criminal IMPOTUS has FAILED in HIS job to protect us.

    The virus is in all 50 States (West Virginia is not reporting any cases according to the NY Times, but that makes zero sense to me).

    There is community spread (i.e. where you are incapable of determining the source of the virus) in pretty much every state.

    I understand the notion of locking down domestic travel to a degree, but it is irrational to try and argue that those three states are the only ones that need to be locked down. Especially when, as you noted those three States barely constitute a majority of cases in the United States.

    Your criminal IMPOTUS has been fearmongering about illegal aliens so his supporters have no justification for finger pointing.

    Fearmongering about illegals? How so? We should all want illegals not coming here. Why do you support people breaking the law?
    And I mean at this time...shouldn’t we all support stronger borders?

    At this time of epidemic and the need for social distancing, there is a rational argument for refraining from retaining any criminals, but for the violent offenders.

    Agreed...and also keeping people out of the country. People that support illegal immigrants, are people that support the spread of viruses. 12k Americans died on Obama and Biden’s watch because of the swine flu. Don’t let that happen again

    12k because of a flu is your cut off?

    So then Trump did an objectively piss poor job last year, right? 30k died from the regular flu under his watch.

    Go ahead. Please praise Trump for allowing 30k to die and then simultaneously rail against Obama for allowing 12k to die.

    The swine flu. Not the regular flu. Obama and Biden let a pandemic run and kill children. Horrible response.

    thank goodness we have a president that has put professionals on this, and not waited til a freaking Ebola outbreak killed more people to only appoint a dnc political operative for PR purposes

    Keep thanking whatever Orange God you feel is appropriate while an estimated 200,000 Americans, on the conservative end of the CDC estimates, die over the course of the next few months.

    Be sure to praise that Orange God for the Dow dropping 2,500 points right now while you are at it.

    Orange God? What?


    What are you talking about the Dow dropped because of a virus out of socialist China...it will bounce right back because our economy is fine...better then fine.

    what are you speculating about 200k deaths? Is that like your prediction on the guys that beat up Jessie?

    I told you the source. 200k dead is the conservative estimate from the CDC.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/487489-worst-case-coronavirus-models-show-massive-us-toll

    Trump bragged about his impact on the stock market yesterday, but you want to run away from attributing any of the drop to him less than 24 hours later. It's ****ing transparent.

    How can these numbers be real when we don't test for it? I hear we do not have enough test kits. I'm pretty sure I had it. I've recovered (I think) but there is nothing established to bring the number down.

    I told you. 200k is the most conservative estimate from that modeling. The worst case estimate is 1.7 million dead.

    Just read the article instead of the headline next time.

    The problem with this logic is that there are still thousands sick with the virus. Until they are fully recovered, it is entirely possible that the virus will still kill them.

    As the healthcare infrastructure gets stretched past capacity, you will also see the death rate increase because people will be turned away due to a lack of ventilators and other necessary resources.

    I gotta say, if the dumb dems can't mount a successful campaign after this blows over they are infinitely more inept than even I thought. Unfortunately they have nominated an unelectable POS. AGAIN!

    One of the reasons I am an Independent is because I refuse to have to defend the Dems for their addiction to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
