I guarantee he will try to spin it that he saved millions of lives. And his supporters will eat it up, not understanding that it could have been half that if he acted quicker. I absolutely agree. Trump has spent his entire term attempting to spin his failures as successes. This will be no different. Still, it will leave the Democrats with a ton of ammunition fro the election campaign. I'm betting we see ad after ad, showing Trump downplaying the severity and the quickly shifting to the pandemic numbers for the US. Trump will be able to spin it to the base, because the only reality for those folks is Trump's reality, but it won't be quite so easy to fool the fence sitters, who "took a chance" on the outsider in 2016. Now they understand just how badly this idiot can screw things up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only for profit medical system in the world among first world countries. Just a sheet hole. Medical system in France and Italy is usually ranked top 5 in the world. There are lot of variables in this particular outbreak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nuckin_futz Posted April 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2020 US intelligence says China under-reported virus cases and deaths - report Wed 1 Apr 2020 15:17:43 GMT Intelligence report submitted to White House Bloomberg cites three US officials who have seen the classified report. It says that China's reporting on the scale of the virus was intentionally incomplete and concludes the numbers were fake. The huge numbers of urns in pictures last weeks and long lines of people waiting to collect remains led just about everyone to conclude the same thing last week: We were reporting in early February on the strong evidence that crematoriums in Wuhan were running flat-out. The issue is that many other countries relied in Chinese data to make determinations about how to handle the virus. The numbers were also used in models predicting the spread. That said, everyone has known for 20 years that you can't trust Chinese data so people and governments who were trusting the data really only have themselves to blame. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'l be the "why didn't you close the border" camp vs. the public health camp. I get the general concept of closing a border, but I haven't actually heard a viable alternative, or believe that a Canadian politician of any stripe would have actually stranded 1 million Canadians citizens outside of Canada during this crisis.
