    This is what happens when you put an incompetent disruptor in the most powerful position in the world. You guys wanted to weaken the government and you are now seeing one of the negative consequences of that.

    How do you even know what Trump said?

    I see no Trump-related negative consequences yet from this issue. I only see people like you who go to bed thinking about Trump every night. The fact that you keep assigning different boogieman atrocities to him tells me everything I need to know about your state of mind and the reliability of your "information".

    Honestly, we have the luxury of armchair quarterbacking this thing to death. We are looking at situations days after they happened and infection numbers that are a week old in some cases. Any one of us that thinks we know what is going on in the moment is blowing smoke up our own skirt.

    You need to log off the internet and "go to timeout" with your nose in the corner for a few weeks.

    Trump and FoxNews were the only people talking like this at the time. The rest of us knew we had a serous issue coming our way.

    Re: Covid - 19

    I am not looking it up. Are we to understand that Trump invented the talking point about this being more like a common cold than a deadly disease? No one else said that before Trump?

    Sounds like pure liberal taking point and major "armchair quarterbacking" to me if true. But America is liking Trump's response to the Kung Flu.

    Serious question. Can you point me back to your first response on this issue? When were you sounding the alarm bells to those close to you.

    Re: Covid - 19

    4 golfcarts all loaded with kids, 13 by actual count, careening around the corner, swerving out into on-coming traffic. Of course the fact they might get smushed like a bug is not the worst of it. They are jumping between the carts, hugging on each other, sharing drinks! and then congregating at different houses throughout the neighborhood where anywhere from 3 to 5 adults are standing in a group talking. I went for a short bike ride this morning...after almost being run down by one of the carts, I decided 10 miles was enough for now.

    Some folks are just not taking this seriously. Well, maybe they just think it is too inconvenient.

    Sure. You can go back to my posts on this thread and the “Coronavirus...Leftist...” threads on February 26, where I started arguing against those here that wanted to downplay it against the flu.

    As far as when I started to sound the alarm bells with those close to me... I didn’t need to. We all knew about it. I have colleagues in China and knew how this was impacting their life since the Chinese lunar new year. That is why I started to sound the alarm bell here about the economic costs to small businesses. Again, that comment was made earlier in this thread as well.

    At the same time we were discussing the seriousness of this, Trump and State TV were doing their best to downplay it and try to spin it as just another hoax of the left to try to take Trump down.

    Do you know what that sort of disease control would do to small businesses in the US? Many can’t afford to pay salaried employees that long if their businesses are effectively shut down for several weeks.
    I pointed this out on February 26 having access to less information than Trump. Why did it take Trump/Congress a month longer to come up with a solution to address this problem.

    Oh yeah, Trump was promoting the idea that the coronavirus was under control.

    CNN, but it is a right wing opinion piece. Still I think there are some accurate accounts of how many are looking at this pandemic and Trumps response and offers some insight as to why his numbers might be going up.

    I tend to grant some leeway when dealing with these things. I suspect there are plenty more than just me.
