    Why would it have caused mass panic? Why would he tell a reporter If people finding out would be bad?
    All he had to do was tell the truth. Instead he promoted conspiracy theories and now many of his supporters think it’s a hoax.

    Bush should have said 911 was an accident so nobody panicked.

    Why don't we have better PPE? I've been mentioning our lack of PPE since March.
    As I said, the feds probably have the authority...

    ... but have no ability to force states to enforce federal laws.

    No...but what he did do....and was later attacked by the left, was stayed calm when he heard the news. Didn't panic the room full of press, parents and school children...allowed the program to end...then acted.

    The major difference between the two, was one...we were in real time being attacked by a physical force, and when Trump spoke to Woodward, we had no cases in the United States yet. Both acted a calm leaders not to set off a mass panic in the moment then acted strongly...that's leadership.

    of course Dems didn't cause that...we know what Biden would do, just like he did when he was in teh Obama Admin dealing with H1N1....simply stop testing...so we would not see any spike in postive test....and there was about 60 million postive cases in the US according to the CDC estimates (they had to use estimates because of the stop test orders

    Why would he do that? Is that what FDR did after Pearl Harbor?

    That is where I have to strongly disagree.

    For some reason, in todays world you have to either love, or hate. I can't speak for other people, but I don't have to like someone to understand what they are saying, accept what they are saying, or not accept what they are saying.

    I don't agree with a large number of things Fauci has said. I don't agree with a large number of things Trump has said. That doesn't make either one bad or good.

    Again, he can tell us the truth without causing a panic. If panic was the concern, why tell a reporter?
    why was it ok for us to panic over antifa and caravans of brown people?

    So, you figure the guys in my picture support Democrats? :rolleyes:
    You're overstating the damage, but there is a problem that both Republican and Democratic states have failed to solve.
    Who continues to portray rioters, vandals and looters as "protesters"?
    Okay. Who?
    Are you prepared to condemn militia groups? I reject militias, Antifa, looters, rioters, and arsonists. How about you? Do you reject militias?
    Propaganda Alert!

    A stupid lie.
    Sanders isn't a socialist.
    Absurd. You just flunked high school history.

    They look exactly like the Democratik governor of Virginia.

    You're understating the damage, IMO, and this problem has been a city problem, not a state problem as you so astutely danced around (yes, I caught that).

    The LW media.

    How has this escaped your attention the past three months?

    Demokrats.

    I'm prepared to condemn any violent militia group that refuses to respect our laws and Constitution. I also reject the racists who associate themselves with the Right and the Left.

    Tell it to Eric Holder. Tell it to the socialist who has run a strong second (and for a time this year, first) in the last two Democratik presidential primaries. Tell it to the AOCs in the NDP and their supporters. Tell it to all the Dems who want to socialize/nationalize the health insurance industry. I could go on and on...

    He's a self-avowed socialist, which makes him a more honest socialist than the ones who call themselves "progressives".

    Oh, wait a minute - are you going to push that BS that democratic socialists are Austrian School libertarians because they're socialists who are willing to operate within a democratic system? What else have you got for me - Clement Attlee was a disciple of Ludwig von Mises? :lol:

    Absurd. Not only did I ace high school history, my personal library contains over a hundred history books, which is how I learned about the aforementioned Henry Wallace. You can read a little about him here:

    Progressive Party - United States, 1948
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Party_(United_States,_1948)

    I'd be surprised if you knew who Gerrard Winstanley and François-Noël Babeuf are. That requires a knowledge of history that extends well beyond the secondary school level...

    You wanted him to ramp it up and cause a panic why would that have been better. And apples and oranges again.

    Difficult to believe they are willing to die on this hill. Defending Trump's lie when all along he was referring to a Wall Street sell-off panic and could not care less about how many people died. And it was not his call to make. He should be tried for negligent homicide.

    He did they are similar viruses....this one in particular because a corona virus is typically just respiratory...where a flu can do much more....this strain of corona seems be more like the flu because it is beyond respiratory in some cases
