Mute on COVID Deaths

Why are Democrats on this forum suddenly mute when it comes to the deaths from the Chinese Virus? When Trump was in office, I would see new threads sprout up like weeds with updates on the death count from the Chinese Virus. On January 20th, there were 392,428 COVID deaths. (1) As of this writing, the US just passed 500,000 deaths. (2) Where are the Democrats on this forum holding Biden's feet to the fire as they did Trump? Certainly, they were not using people's death to score cheap political points. Certainly, they would be above politicizing the pain and suffering of scores of thousands of families to attack Republicans. I mean, after all, they are the party of compassion, the party of morality, right? Certainly, they wouldn't be so low. Certainly, they wouldn't cheapen death to point to a statistic for political gain. Thus, there must be an explanation for why the Democrats on this forum are suddenly mute about COVID deaths since January 20th. Thoughts?

I guess you just are not paying attention I believe the President had a moment of silence today to commemorate the 500,000 who have died from Covid 19.

 

Biden is a forum member?

Speaking of Biden, isn't he the same guy who attended the funeral of Officer Brian Sicknick, even though he died of a stroke (1), but masqueradred it as if he died from the riot? Certainly, Biden would not politicize an officer's death, right? I mean, didn't Biden also attend the funeral of David Dorn? Oh, wait, that's right; he didn't. Certainly, there was a reason why he attended the funeral of Officer Brian Sicknick, but not David Dorn's. Certainly, Biden was not politicizing death. No, no, certainly, just like the Democrats on this forum, the appearance of politicizing death is nothing but a veneer. Right?

Cases and deaths are both down. Is that what you want to hear? That Biden is doing what Trump couldn't?

 

I want to see reports on the number of people who have died weekly, just like Democrats did when Trump was in office. Keep the number of people dying in the spotlight, and say that Biden is responsible for each death, just like they did to Trump. But Democrats are not doing that. Strangely, they have become mute. It is as if they were politicizing death to score political points against someone with whom they disagreed--namely, Trump. But they would not be so immoral to stoop so low, right? I mean, certainly, Democrats on this board were pointing out the numbers of death on a weekly basis because they simply cared about those who had died, knowing one death was one death too many. Certainly, they just wanted to point out the tragedy of death to the rest of us. But, suddenly, they stopped doing that.

What say you?

 

Having a President that actually does the job he was hired to do and DEALS with a crisis is just not news. It's the way things should always be. We had over a year of dereliction of duty, and now we're back to having a competent President.

Not much to comment.

 

Here you go

You know, I was thinking of you when I wrote this thread. How nice of your to join us, Golem. Golem, certainly, you were not politicizing death, cheapening it to score political points, when you were making weekly threads about the COVID death count under Trump So, please, tell us, why have you become so mute on the COVID deaths? You used to report them so much. Suddenly, you've stopped.

 

Was Sicknick's stroke brought on by being sprayed with bear spray by one of the terrorists??

 

This is a stupid reply. One, this thread was created in 2020. Biden was not president yet. Two, the OP, as far as I can tell, is just talking matter-of-factly about the Chinese Virus; he is not blaming Trump for the number of deaths. There is no editorializations, and this is one thread, not multiples on a weekly basis of the death count. Please, answer my question, not providing an answer to something I did not ask.

 

Was it? Can you point to evidence that it was? Actually, can you point to evidence that he was bear sprayed? According to the Independent, he "may [emphasis added] have been hit with bear mace or another chemical irritant." (1)

Ah! You're making me blush!

I'm not politicizing deaths. I'm politicizing incompetence. And Trump left plenty of room open for that. Biden... doesn't. What can I tell ya!

 

Trump failed. Had he approached the pandemic from the science rather than politics, then you'd have a legitimate gripe. It was Trump who politicized the virus.

 

My bad. I thought you were looking for active threads about COVID totals.

Carry on.

 

OP seems to always need something to be outraged about

 

Since Biden has assumed office, over 100,000 deaths have been attributed to the Chinese Virus. That is over 25,000 deaths per week on average on his watch. In contrast, let's look at Trump's record. The first cases of the Chinese virus started in January 2020, and it was 392,428 by January 20, 2021. That is, on average, 7,550 deaths per week. If we are going to judge incompetence by the numbers, then Biden is way more incompetent, as 25,000 > 7,550.

Perhaps the number of deaths under Biden are significantly higher because he forgot that the vaccine happened under Trump--or he lied. (2)

Also:



Also, his "big, bold" plan to make sure 1 million Americans are vaccinated a day was pretty much met by the Trump Administration (1).

So, no, your reasoning about "politicizing incompetence" does not bear out. Now, of course, you certainly are not a lowlife that politicizes the deaths of people and thereby politicizes the pain and suffering of their grieving family members. Certainly, you are not that much of a POS, so, please, tell us why you have been so mute.

Actually we are just humble..
But if you look close you will see that cases started to fall right after Biden was confirmed by congress.


And of course deaths have fallen sharply since he took office.


And to think Trump could have done this if he had only worked after the election.

 

Cases started to fall because the vaccine was created under Trump, and, by January, the Trump Administration was at about a million doses a day, which accounts for why there is not as much death under Biden as there would be, due to his flagrant incompetence. Still, though, Biden, according to the logic of the Democrats on this board, is responsible for the scores of thousands of COVID deaths under his watch. I wonder if Keith Olbermann will say Biden needs to face over 100,000 death penalties for each death. For some reason--I don't know why--I don't think he will call for that. We'll see, I guess. Also, none of this addresses why we are not talking about the deaths under Biden by week. I mean, over 25,000 deaths per week under this administration. How is no Democrat talking about this?

 

More American COVID dead under Biden than in all the wars since WW2 including Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

WELL:

 

A moment of silence? He needs to get off his ass and get those Vaccinations out! Biden is a low life.

 

That death count under Biden by the Washington Free Beacon is outdated. It is well over 100,000 now. 25,000 per week, on average. Where are the Democrats on this board and in the media comparing the dead bodies under the Biden Administration to past wars? It's as if they were politicizing death and the pain and suffering of families. But, surely, they can't be so coldhearted. There has to be a reason why!

 

Just 3 times better than Spanky. But who's counting?
Oh. You are.
Did you ever find all those Trump had ready for the end of the year?

 

This won't age well.

 

LOL! Not even close. Looks like a steady upward trend that began under Trump. If Biden made a difference there would be a noticeable spike. Do you often provide proof that you are wrong?

 

Check your math.
Dec. 20 to Jan 20, 20 million does.
Jan 21st to Feb. 21st, 40 million does.
Just twice as many.
