I am watching the Governer of Colorado spew an alarming amount of disinformation.

[dewsgirl]

He has stated twice, when people are asymptomatic, they are not contagious, this is 100 percent not true, many super spreaders were asymptomatic.
Then a lady spoke and said you have to be near someone for 10 minutes in order to catch it, this is 100 percent bullshit. I am speechless and completely pissed at the same time.

1. Ah, yes, the Authoratative Pronouncement!! Always easier than facts!!

[cwydro]

2. There seems to be a concerted effort to cover this whole thing up.

Which makes me wonder what they know that we don’t, ya know?

Of course, that assumes they know any damn thing.

[dewsgirl]

4. I have watched several where there was a little bit of BS here and there.

The latest news stories are certainly pointing to the fact that there is collaboration to mislead the public.😔

8. this is always our concern in US as anything will be said to save profits over people

We can understand China is a totalitarian regime and they can censor and control info and lock the country down at will. So info out of china is always suspect.

Here, its about money. Quick action = containment. We are getting into this with NO CONTAINMENT actions of scale

[cwydro]

16. Yes. Spot on.

So sad.

This is frightening to me, not so much on the virus side, but the lengths to which our “leaders” will go to keep big money safe.

No words anymore.

3. What the hell are these people trying to prove?

It's a world of stupid out there and it's not helping.

[cwydro]

17. World of stupid pretty much sums it up.

Unreal.

[eleny]

5. It struck me as off notch

If he's wrong he's going to pay dearly.

[dewsgirl]

10. I have watched several with bits of untruth sprinkled

throughout the presser, this is a whole new level of deception.

[eleny]

13. He's my governor

[AncientGeezer]

6. Proof...stupid can be on both sides.....goddammit

[Lindsay]

7. And Gov. Polis

is a Democrat.

Not good at all to be putting out misinformation.

[dewsgirl]

11. Yes, a fact that had me even more stupified.

[Roland99]

9. And he's a Dem??

[dewsgirl]

12. Yes.

[ThoughtCriminal]

14. Misinformation may not even be the right word here.

It is more like "Mal-information" (deliberately harmful).

IN an attempt to downplay the risks, they are substantially escalating the likelihood of an epidemic.

[BusyBeingBest]

15. His info has to be coming from CO Dept of health, I am surprised they

are telling him this. You can carry lots of types of infections and spread them without active symptoms. I've read COVID-19 is the same way, can be spread through carriers who do not appear sick. He may have to correct this. Edit to add: maybe he's trying to reduce the numbers of "walking well" who are paranoid and trying to get tested?

18. I watch Steve Lookner's livestreams for hours

everyday, I watch several of these press conferences everyday..I was shocked by the boldness of the lies..he did seem to think he was telling truth, but I imagine you would have to be living under a rock to not know about the asymptomatic spread.
