So here is an on-topic question for everyone

Do you think Covid-19 will improve Trump's chance for re-election or decrease it?

I think it has improved them slightly. But despite that, the manner in which the US recovers from C-19 will be whether he wins or not.

I will say I think he has peaked with the bump he saw. Five Thirty Eight has him declining for a couple of days in a row. From here on out it's only bad news for at least a month in the US, and following that the economy is still going to be another problem of its own. If the death rate does go over 100,000, I think his approval will tank.
 
Why did the US NOT promote the use of face masks?

Because the Orange Fuhrer and his goons were caught with their pants down.

Asia may have been right about coronavirus and face masks, and the rest of the world is coming around

In the coming weeks, if they have not already, your government is likely to begin advising you to wear a face mask to protect against coronavirus.

For those living in Asia, such announcements will be a vindication of a tactic that has been adopted across much of the region since the beginning of the crisis and appears to have been borne out by lower rates of infection and faster containment of outbreaks.

No, your tds is showing again... its because there aren't enough to go around, there are people who need em, ie, the people who will be treating you if you get sick need them

As for cnn shipping to china bs, its what countries do for each other... rather try contain it one spot than having resources spread out... had he not sent, the article would be 'trump refused to send china much needed medical supplies, if he had, they could have stopped it there'... damned if you do, damned if you don't

Spoiler: We've sent supplies to china and italy and now we have none... why? again, send em where they are needed the most and hope its stopped there so we don't need them ;)

Edit: And just to add, if you're seriously going to reach an all new low level of tds and start bitching about trump sending aid to others when they need it, just remember the branch you're sitting on and how much we(and the continent) receive from him

You're not my asset manager or knower of how share portfolios work, so no problem for me at all.

Kelly also sold retail store stock and bought stock in a company that makes PPE... If she looks fine to you, perhaps a new career in fast-food delivery would be a better fit for you.
Alternatively insider trading is now completely acceptable, go nuts! When the securities regulator gives knocking you just point then towards your friendly, ethical, prudentially responsible local asset manager: Peggie!

Very good question! I will be humble enough to admit I have no clue at all. American people are to difficult for me to understand.

I think it will also make a difference in the outcome how America does compared to other countries. And how big that gap ends up being. I don't think even the base will accept the "it was Obama's fault" line forever. Or maybe they will, refer to first paragraph hehe.

Cant argue with that.


Why Trump shouldn't get credit for (finally) realizing coronavirus is deadly serious

Still not ordering a state-wide lockdown.

They just don't get it.
WHAT, and put a damper on the parties?


 
1st world leaders.

Take a lesson from the "developing countries".

New estimates show 25% to 50% of coronavirus carriers don't even have symptoms and can infect others blindly
It's prompting US officials to rethink who should wear masks.



More data showing people without symptoms are fueling the spread of coronavirus have top officials rethinking whether the general public should be wearing masks.

New data out of Iceland shows 50% of those who tested positive said they were asymptomatic.
In the US, an estimated 25% of coronavirus carriers have no symptoms, said the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"One of the (pieces of) information that we have pretty much confirmed now is that a significant number of individuals that are infected actually remain asymptomatic. That may be as many as 25%," CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield told NPR.

Christ now I remember why you earned a place on my ignore... you're the one that keeps repeating himself :rolleyes:

We've been through this, its incredible you don't see it, let me try explain it a different way... cnn and yourself are trying to orangemanbad trump for sending humanitarian aid to a country who needed it. Do you understand how warped and insane your tds has become? I hope we have a treatment soon, and don't wish this on anyone, but should you become infected, when lying there, pray that a country such as ourselves or the us sends supplies to assist you just like ourselves and the us sent supplies to others when they needed it


While he was selling the PPE to China he was minimizing the problem publicly, and as a result the US has a desperate shortage of that equipment.


Health care workers are on the front lines of the battle against COVID-19, but many say they are not being supplied with adequate armor. Nurses across the country have begun to protest against shortages of personal protective equipment, PPE — masks, gloves and gowns — which they say are putting their lives at risk.

The day after he sent off that equipment he said this:

No. Not at all. And — we're — we have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's — going to be just fine.

There’s really no way to dress up the fact that he drastically, tragically underestimated the threat to America from the disease. He was meant to be the America first guy but he’s left American doctors and nurses strapping sheets of plastic on their faces because he sold their equipment because he just didn’t believe his own CDC and medical experts.

Don't forget, Emperor Cheeto - in his mind grapes - already knew it was going to be a pandemic long before anyone else. And still shipped PPE to another country. Not a bad gesture in itself, but for a MAGAt, seems like an odd move.

I forgot one
TDSers: Trumps gonna use defense production act to cancel election and take over private companies for himself and become dictator for life
Trump: I don't need to
Also TDSers: Why aren't you using defense production act to take over private companies and speed up the manufacturing
Trump: I don't need to

lol, this is a new one. Where does this gibberish come from?

And psst:

The delay in activating the Korean War-era power is made even more perplexing by a New York Times analysis that found that the Trump administration has used the Defense Production Act reflexively over the past three years to prioritize orders it deemed necessary for national security, from rare earth metals to build lasers to body armor for Border Patrol agents. The Defense Department alone estimates that it uses the law’s powers around 300,000 times every year, while the Department of Homeland Security prioritized 1,000 orders in 2018 for disaster response efforts.
