problem; number of cases would be "down to zero" in a couple weeks. Then, they said that well, yes, it is a problem, but Trump had already totally solved it by courageously stopping travel from China. Then, they said that anyone who wanted to be tested for corona virus infection could be tested. Then they said they would be sure our medical professionals had everything they needed to care for those who became ill from the virus. Then, they said they were "ramping up" production of test kits and "ramping up" the production of PPE's and ventilators. Then, we were told it would be safe to "pack the churches" on Easter Sunday.
WRONG x 8!
Now, they are telling us there will be "only" 100,000 to 200,000 total deaths from this pandemic-------------
Is anyone else disturbed by this prediction?

(12,564 posts)They'll write stories about his bravery, along the lines of, "The Brave Little Tailor." After having killed seven flies with one strike, the tailor embroiders the words on his belt, "Seven at One Blow." He is so confident and lucky -- and never questioned -- about his accomplishment that he ultimately becomes king.
Even in age of the Brothers Grimm there were Red Hats.

(41,756 posts)I compared the Chinese data (John Hopkins) to the Spanish Flu data.
Then I presented the projected global infections and applied it 100 million Americans.
One third of the US population.
Trump is blowing smoke.
The death toll will be shocking.

He makes stuff up as he gets along, and just pulls it out of his ass.

(3,660 posts)It's like we are stuck in an endless loop and never get anywhere. It's hard to imagine our country recovering from the COVID-19 because it feels like we are still stuck in the first phase of fighting this disease and will be for the next year or at least till he is removed from office.
and I don't understand why there isn't absolute outrage from both Democrats and the Media

The state of New York should have put this man in prison a decade ago, at least. Now, we have to wait for him to be un-immune from prosecution.
But the day will come.
