M, the pandemic is real, and political attacks by the president on the science don't make the science political any more than religious attacks on the theory of evolution make the theory of evolution religious. It's a virus, it doesn't care about your politics. It doesn't care about your religion. It's a virus. It doesn't care. Period.
It can be measured and investigated like any other disease. It has been. Denying the science of epidemiology is tantamount to denying the theory of gravity. If you behave like it's not real, if you preach that it's not real, it will kill you, and it will kill those close to you.
The head of the White House security office is critically ill with Covid-19
.The security office head, Crede Bailey, whose office handles a number of duties, including approving certain security clearances, coordinating with the Secret Service and handling credentials for people to be able to come onto the White House grounds, was taken to the hospital in late September, the administration official said.
...
On Tuesday, the Pentagon announced that Adm. Charles Ray, the vice commandant of the Coast Guard, had tested positive. Admiral Ray also attended the White House reception, Defense Department officials said.
Nearly every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is now in quarantine in their homes or in other locations, officials said, after having contact with people who have tested positive.
This is not a time to play politics with science. This is a time to let science guide your politics.
I don't know whether to laugh or marvel at your lack of awareness.
In case you were wondering, the President never said the China Virus was a hoax.
Quit being political wit it.

Juvenal's right: there've been political consequences for the president's sloppy claim, and that's not even including Drumpf supporters who STILL think the pandemic doesn't exist.Last edited by Whateverman; 10-14-2020, 08:29 AM.

We had no national policy, just a piece-work of states competing against each other for resources, trying to set their own policies while the president actively opposed them.
His "Liberate Michigan" encouragement resulting in armed gangsters infesting the state house, and then, further encouraged, turning to plots to kidnap the governor. The very same people who infested the state house plotted to kidnap the governor, Bill. The president's response to the pandemic has been, objectively and literally, a horror show that's racked up a hundred thousand excess deaths to date and is set to rack up hundreds of thousands more by most optimistic projections.
Understand that at any time, starting now, even, we could adopt policies to hold additional deaths to under 100,000, which will not happen under the policies currently in place.
This isn't politics. This is arithmetic.

Which part of your alleged Christian love for others do you see that aligning with?"I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

What Trump said was weasel-worded at best, and even if considered generously, is not how his supporters, like M, have read it, as M's post makes clear. M didn't say putting the blame on Trump would end after the election, he said the pandemic would end. That's a deeply dangerous mistake to be making in the middle of a pandemic, which is why I pointed it out. Covering for the president in this case is inappropriate. First, preserve lives, then worry about preserving reputations, assuming they deserve preservation.

"the president declaring covid-19 a political hoax" is exactly what Juvenal said, and it's 100% accurate. That's what the so-called president did.
No link about a Joe Biden ad has the power to contradict that.

A new report from The New York Times indicates that experts have “genuine confidence” that the coronavirus pandemic will end “far sooner” than originally expected and that President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed — the administration’s efforts to facilitate and accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics — has been “working with remarkable efficiency.”

I'm not interested in haggling. I'm just correcting your statement.
.The next day Trump was asked about this comment and tried to clarify what he said, claiming he was "referring to the action that [the Democrats] take to try and pin this on somebody, because we've done such a good job. The hoax is on them."
Seriously, did you read it?
.That said, Trump's clarification has not stopped some of his supporters from believing the pandemic is, in fact, a hoax. One Trump supporter attending a campaign rally in Michigan on September 10 was asked by CNN's Jim Acosta why he was not wearing a mask. "Because there's no Covid," he said. "It's a fake pandemic created to destroy the United States of America."
Your correction, such as it was, provided cover for a poster claiming the current pandemic is a hoax.
That's not right, Bill. That's not right.
