Trumpgate: This is what happens when incompetent demagogues run the government. People die. Biggest

And not only are they doing nothing to stop it, they are actively doing everything possible to make it worse.
We ain't seen nothing yet, people......

Like Demovictory posted down thread.. "Ignore trump, don't drink bleach, wear masks, Safe Distancing,, I'll add wear gloves when needed, Wash hands, and hang in there so we can GOTV him OUT.

BeSafe!

out of his Stupid Arrogant Refusal to take the CV Seriously Until IT Was TOO LATE.

Thank you for the Proof, Dalton!

He's still not taking it seriously. There is still no plan formulated if there is a future resurgence of the virus. As far as he's concerned, it's all a big nuisance and he's just washed his hands of it. Doesn't want to deal.

He has done absolutely jack-shit to prevent the spread of this disease, and has only used the crisis as an opportunity to congratulate himself for the successes of others and to make a profit off of PPE and ventilators that should have been going to the hardest hit states and their hospitals.

We cannot go through this with him again. We need a real president, who will appoint intelligent, competent people that will be able to take charge and mobilize resources the next time something like this comes along. This has just been a joke. Thank god we have had some good people at the state and local levels or things would have been even worse.

spewing More Lies about it. It's only about how it affects his re-election prospects.. which should be nil.

Thank you!

Like if Skynet were deployed or Thanos snapped. This thing isn't going away any time soon. Especially not with the utter incompetence of this administration.

trump only Lies to us.

Mahalo, Initech~BeSafe!

having the highest deaths per million -- 751 -- of any country? Incompetent demagogues there?

Really.. we know what's going on here & Why.. we've had months of it..and that's who the Tweet was talking about. The US Government.

Give us more time and I'm sure we'll be better at killing more citizens per capita.

Belgium counts suspected Covid-19 deaths, while the rest of countries don't:

"Belgian officials say they are counting in a way that no other country in the world is currently doing: counting deaths in hospitals and care homes, but including deaths in care homes that are suspected, not confirmed, as Covid-19 cases. According to Belgium's latest official figures, out of 7,703 deaths, 53% have been in care homes."
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52491210

Our numbers would skyrocket if we counted suspected cases in nursing homes like Belgium does. Only 33 US states even report nursing home-related Covid-19 deaths. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/11/nursing-homes-us-data-coronavirus Based on Belgium's numbers allocation, that means the deaths in those states should be considered twice what they are claimed to be. Right now only about 35% of US Covid-19 deaths are reported to be nursing home residents. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/05/09/us/coronavirus-cases-nursing-homes-us.html Given Belgium's numbers, I suspect the US nursing home Covid-19 death total number needs to be doubled, at least.

this is the only country with a lot of deaths.

Yes, we have the dubious distinction of having the most deaths, but we also have a lot more people than most other countries, so the deaths per million is a far more revealing number. Alas, we're not number one by that metric.

So, I still wonder what in the world is going on in Belgium.

"Officials also acknowledge mistakes were made at the beginning: poor preparation left care home staff lacking personal protective equipment (PPE). That allowed the virus to spread quickly, with devastating effect."

This was compounded by the fact that many more people in Belgium put loved ones in care homes than elsewhere in Europe.

Another big reason their numbers are so high is they count suspected Covid-19 deaths, and other countries don't:

"Belgian officials say they are counting in a way that no other country in the world is currently doing: counting deaths in hospitals and care homes, but including deaths in care homes that are suspected, not confirmed, as Covid-19 cases. According to Belgium's latest official figures, out of 7,703 deaths, 53% have been in care homes."

Admitting their mistakes is a huge step to making it better.

I sure as Hell Hope So!

I wish like hell he NEVER ran.

The wreckage he'll leave behind - sometimes I wonder if it's even possible to clean it all up.

I have the feeling that they are quite a bit higher

wow.. they really have a handle on that. Did they not call it a "hoax" and ignore it for 70 days?

you never know.

Thank you, Demovictory, BeSafe!

BeSafe!

どういたしまして。

共有してくれてありがとう。

I like your mask!

especially around me... if I catch this, I am dead.

the virus on it?

I just remembered you were sick and in hospital.. so that's why it would be more deadly for you?

So sorry, StaySafe!

Its because I was in the hospital last November and nearly died... that I am being so careful now...the mask on my photo is photo shopped, a representation of what we all should be wearing now... for a while.

doesn't it?

How anyone can ignore or dismiss this unprecedented and terrifying national crisis just boggles the mind! I had to go out today and there were numerous lighted signs on the roads here that said STAY HOME and COVER FACE IN PUBLIC! Is this really an acceptable way to live? And it's far from over - according to those who actually know what they're talking about...

for Gov Cuomo. It could be so much worse without a Dem Gov like him in charge.

Those who ignore the safety precautions protocol are brainwashed by those in the Cult45.. and there's enough of them to dangerously screw it up for everyone else.

We shall persevere in spite of all that.

And have a smart and engaged governor who speaks up and advocates for us - Andrew Cuomo. His Dad would be proud! On MSNBC tonight they said he has an 81% approval rate on handling this crisis. How it's not higher is a mystery to me!

Mahalo!

As you know there's pockets of red in New York who wouldn't give the Dem Gov any credit no matter how good a job he's doing.

After all, my idiot district keeps reelecting Elise Stefanik - even though there have been constant protests in my area ever since her first term.

the architect of the Convid-19 response disaster.

80,000 people died immediately. In an instant.

That number astonished the world.

We have had the equivalent number of deaths from one source in two months.
