When the Orangutanman got elected just about every news agency became "Fake News" with the exception of Faux News, all military generals became fools, FBI, CIA scum, .............. while his mates went to jail.

Troll is getting brave with the personal insults, until the MOD's take action AGAIN.

Hence why the the lockdowns are morally reprehensible.

The government closes down people's only source of income, then clever leftists like you claim they are being hypocritical by wanting the state to bail them out, only to again be criticised when they don't want the government to help them by protesting.

Can you pick a coherent argument?

And the deaths from the virus? Allowing free reign and thus facilitating situations that makes socially distancing impossible, thus exacerbating the spread of the virus and further deaths, is that morally acceptable?

Somebody being optimistic, positive and diplomatic. Hateful, negative leftists won't understand that.

Oooh Trump Defender Syndrome is strong with this one.

Being optimistic, while the CIA were telling you on a daily basis that China is lying about the virus. Trump is weak.
 
Facebook Will Ban Protests That Defy Government 'Guidance' on Distancing

A Facebook spokesperson told Motherboard over the weekend that the social network would allow protest events as long as they do not fall afoul of government guidance on social distancing, but will ban ones that do.

"Unless the government prohibits the event during this time, we allow it to be organized on Facebook," the spokesperson wrote in an email. "For this same reason, events that defy government's guidance on social distance aren't allowed on Facebook. "

Trump Is Scapegoating the WHO — But Failed to Confirm a U.S. Representative for 3 Years

But Trump and the GOP-controlled Senate gave up some of the leverage the U.S. might have had at the WHO by failing to confirm a delegate to the executive board. Executive board seats last for three-year terms, with representatives required to be “technically qualified in the field of health.” The U.S.’ latest term on the board, the WHO’s equivalent of the United Nations Security Council, started in 2018 after a required year off in 2017.

But the last Senate-confirmed U.S. representative on the WHO’s executive board was then-Centers for Disease Control Director Tom Frieden, whose term expired around the time Obama left office.
It wasn’t until 10 months after the United States’ current term began in 2018 when Trump nominated Admiral Brett Giroir, the assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services, for the job.

Giroir, a four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, is a medical doctor with a background in infectious diseases who has previously worked on pandemic response. He's a well-qualified and relatively uncontroversial pick by Trump standards. And while Democrats have raised concerns about his views on reproductive issues, he was confirmed by the Senate for his current role at HHS by a voice vote and has met with little Democratic resistance for this nomination.


But since his initial nomination, the White House, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and the rest of the Senate Republican leadership have shown no urgency about filling the appointment.
