Covid-19

[JTG]

Isn't it time to combine the Politics and Covid threads ? All the gloom and doom reporting by the media will go away the day after the Election, should Trump lose. The mission will have been accomplished. It's really sick, actually pathetic that liberals, with the help of the Chinese, would let people die and wreck the economy, because they hate Trump. Now the Chinese, they are afraid of Trump and want a puppet like Biden in charge, who they can bully. The liberals are fine with the country being a mess financially. Is it just coincidence that Covid flared up as the stock market was recovering, unemployment was dropping, and Trump's ratings were moving upward ?

This is just complete nonsense.

Posted without comment, except that Cuomo is a fraud.

Is this an advertisement to get rid of private health and switch to universal health? Sure seems like it.

Gawd no. It’s a commentary against the city and state f-up, that is well documented.
Yeah, let’s have a government that screwed this up in charge of all heath care!! Great idea!

What crazy conspiracy theory are pushing here? I am not sure even how to unpack this statement. You do know that the liberals are not in charge of the Federal Government nor do the run a majority of the state governments.

No kidding. I have no idea what to make of that word salad. Particularly as COVID cases are spiking like crazy and even Trump is backpedaling on the mask issue I don't think that the Democrats and the media are somehow responsible for that.

Call it an overreaction on the Media's part to COVID if you want, but even Trump seems to suddenly be taking things a lot more seriously and pivoting instead of doubling down. That doesn't happen for no reason.

This is just complete nonsense.

Is it true the the worse the pandemic is, the worse it is for Trump?
Does the media have an agenda against Trump?
Has the media been proven to sensationalize, present incomplete truths, and even lie?

If the answer to these three questions is "yes", then you have to acknowledge that it's not complete non-sense.

You have to at least give it to Santa Clara County for honesty, but not integrity. This was in their COVID dashboard notes:

Deaths provided in this dashboard do not necessarily mean that the individuals died from COVID-19.

Did you just try to use the Chewbacca Defense?

The statement was:
"It's really sick, actually pathetic that liberals, with the help of the Chinese, would let people die and wreck the economy, because they hate Trump. Now the Chinese, they are afraid of Trump and want a puppet like Biden in charge, who they can bully. The liberals are fine with the country being a mess financially.

So lets break this down:

1. "that liberals, with the help of the Chinese, would let people and wreck the economy" - This is making an assumption that 1. the liberals are conspired with the Chinese to create a global pandemic to harm the president, 2. This plot would be effective since they knew the president wouldn't be able to effectively handle it, and 3. the rest of the world came along for the ride.

2. "The liberals are fine with the country being a mess financially." - if this is true why would the liberals have voted for any sort of relief package, especially if the goal was to wreck the economy. Seems easier to dig their heels in the sand to achieve that goal.

3 "Is it just coincidence that Covid flared up as the stock market was recovering, unemployment was dropping, and Trump's ratings were moving upward"- This once again makes the assumption that this was created just to harm Trump. That a foreign power, working in-cahoots with 'liberals', saw how great everything was and decided to release a novel coronavirus in 2019 to throw a wrench in that. If that is true, why not wait closer to the election? Why release it in China first instead of just releasing it in the US?

So yeah, the batshit qannon conspiracy crap spewed by JTG was complete nonsense.
