    So you saying he knew more than Fauci? Look it's one thing to know something is deadly but your scientist hadn't alarmed him nor for that matter had any clue on how easy it was to spread. Fauci point blank said keep doing what your doing in the interview I attached, is it his fault? Of course not we were given bad info from China and WHO

    I agree that likely Trump is toast, but what does that have to do with how dangerous the virus actually is?

    There is a consensus emerging that the data was all grossly inaccurate and misleading. Even NYT alludes to it.

    Not to support Trump, but in one regard hindsight shows he was reasonably close regarding the morbidity of the virus.

    Are you denying what he told Woodward or denying what he told us? Which do you deny happened?

    Almost 190,000 Americans dead on Sweet Potato Hitler's watch, the equivalent of 63 WTC attacks and you spin and minimize the fact. Holy ****!

    So now the defense is to blow smoke by taking events out of order and to once again blame others for misinformation.

    How can you blame anyone else when Trump knew the truth??? Trump knew! He just decided to lie about it.

    You're right. He should have given a presser from the oval office and lead off with "You're all ****ed".

    No **** he knew. Did you read what I said? Even when the CDC was saying this wasn't airborne, people on Reddit knew it was.

    If you really cared, you could have stayed up to date on Reddit. Most there knew the reality in early Jan, but you think the president didn't know? Lol okay.

    Of course he knew. He told the people exactly what they needed to hear.

    Then you can explain why in July the White House moved all data reporting away from the CDC to HHS ? Oh yeah, HHS is politically controlled. Odd that things started "getting better" in early august......They are doing the same thing here in Iowa now. Gov. Reynolds requires all hospital reporting to go thru her office and they will "crunch the numbers" to release it to the public.

    We literally have Trump saying that he knew it was bad, and your still blaming everyone but the administration. The WHO data was actually correct. But when you cant manage the pandemic, you manage the numbers to make it look better. Trump knew it was bad, and yet HE was telling everyone that it wasn't. Are you actually defending that ?

    This is seriously cult like behavior. Everyone is to blame but dear leader. He wasn't given bad information, he made bad information. FFS

    Yes. Remember when the CDC and the WHO said that masks don't do anything, then turned around a month later and said that masks will save lives...

    Do you think their data was just inaccurate...?

    Or do you think they didn't want everyone buying up all the masks before hospitals could?

    I bet they played you like a fiddle then, just like they're still doing today.

    Eh, Reddit knew. Reddit knew in January the magnitude and Reddit knew in January that China was already lying about their body count.

    Then the bodies stopped being counted.

    And the US media took that as "China stopped Covid!", repeatedly peddling that line for months even though the reality is, I was still seeing videos in March of piles of body bags.

    Same with Iran. They lied about their numbers, too.

    We lie about our numbers here, but here we just over inflate instead of under report because.... politics.

    Dr Birx explained that and why SHE made the call. The info was going from facility to state health to feds, taking several days. The new system helped them get accurate daily information to make decisions quicker. You calling Birx a liar?

    Trump is on tape. He says he knows. How can you ignore that?

    Trump knew. He said he knew.

    I see that they merged your thread into mine, which was a cute way to take it out of Current Events. Sorry.

    I am very disappointed.

    Sure.

    Mom n pop shops were forced to close down, forcing people to crowd WalMart to buy the exact same item and expose themselves to a much higher risk.

    Where I live, beaches were closed even though no one sat within 12 feet of each other before Covid.

    A man faces fines for not wearing a mask even though his walk/hike does not put him within 12 feet of another human.

    A skate park was filled with sand.

    A woman was threatened with 6 months in jail for selling items in her front yard.

    A man was dragged off a bus for not wearing a mask

    Halloween (Almost 2 months away) Trick or Treating, Trunk or treating, parties, haunted houses, are banned.

    Gatherings on private property are being shut down.

    Businesses are threatened with having their utilities shut off for staying open while being non-essential in the eyes of politicians.

    A man was handcuffed and detained for playing catch with his daughter.

    A man was arrested for paddle boarding.

    And of course getting your hair did while not being a politician is banned.

    More complete misrepresentation and lies by the MSM and some democrats attacking Trump.

    Not shocking, but expected.

    Trump took action long before any democrat did. He saved lives while dem leaders like Pelosi cost lives, encouraging people to “go to china town” in large numbers, “its perfectly safe”.

    So Trump is on record of lying to the public again? So, just another Wednesday than...

    Also, screw Woodward. He had the audio of this for months and sat on it. I wonder how many lives could have been saved if he released it back in February when Trump was downplaying it to the country?

    60 Minutes will be doing a segment on this on Sunday. Why would Trump let him record the sessions? Is he trying to lose the election?
