1. Well, I suppose that's true...

Nobody is affected virtually, they are affected literally.

[young_at_heart]

2. I'm nervous and stressed

I'm 81 years old and luckily I don't have a heart condition, but I know the statistics for people my age. Thanks to this disgusting person, I am afraid to leave my house.

[PatSeg]

3. I've rather resigned myself

to the fact that I may never leave my house again. With my age and health concerns, it is too big a risk.

[yuiyoshida]

14. I'm far from 81 but still can't leave my house

You all might remember I was in the hospital for an entire month with a heart problem last year. If I got this disease, it would kill me so fast and I wouldn't have a chance. So yeah, not leaving my house either.

21. Me also.............

4. So will the media ask "Why is Trump still downplaying the Virus?"

Or are they onto the next lie already?

[speaknow]

5. Making sense of

what that FRB says is easy. He doesn't give a'
damn, because he doesn't see us as people.
That includes his rally people We are just
tool's that he uses and when he's done he
throws them away. So be it 2oo thous or 1 mil
dead mean nothing to him at all.

6. I wonder what Herman Cain's family thinks of that statement.

[GeorgeGist]

7. I'd pay good money to watch ...

Deontay Wilder punch Trump in the face.

[dchill]

8. We are all virtual nobodies.

9. "The death of one is a tragedy. The deaths of many is a statistic." - Joseph Stalin

Forget the Hitler comparisons. At this point, Stalin is the more appropriate dictator to compare Trump to.

10. AARP should send a mailed anti-Trump ad with that quote to all seniors around the country

No senior in the 99% should have any business voting for Trump.

[dalton99a]

11. They mean nothing to him.

[Marcuse]

26. Especially if they've voted already.

12. reference to last link

..."Why our minds can't make sense of COVID-19's enormous death toll"....

Simple.

The average person does not comprehend numbers beyond 3 times their pay check.

Why do you think politicians speak in code
A bill worth 100 million for the working people
[under there breath] over 10 years.

So each year averages 10 million, but is often run like mortgages, all interest in the beginning then more principal in the end, that way they make more on the interest.

For the small number if it less than a penny, forget it, they do not comprehend micrometer.

13. Someone mentioned its about the size of Portland's population

it was some large city... unbelievable!

[Mendocino]

15. Over 7 million cases, 205k deaths

...Nothing to see here...

16. Every 90-seconds?

Hard to believe, so I ran the numbers and - it’s correct! Mine came to every 88-seconds; close enough.

[yuiyoshida]

17. I get it now, Trump is trying to kill off the seniors and those with medical problems

He expects the young people to all vote for him and give him the power he needs to run the Country by himself as ...King? Emperor?
Trump is a "swaggering, overbearing, tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood", to borrow a line from Star Trek.

[Bengus81]

18. Uhh...your elderly Trump. Hope you fucking DIE tomorrow

Sounds like priming the pump for taking away Social Security. If your old CV is going to take you out quickly so no need for SS.

[Shoonra]

19. an obvious explanation ....

... For why the virus stats are so low for children under age 18: Most of them are too young to drive themselves and have to depend on their parents to drive them any distance from home. So they are effectively prevented from meeting strangers, mingling in crowds, and other hazards of contagion. Those who can drive themselves are more likely to risk contamination.

20. Can someone please make it stop?

I’m feeling like I’ve lived too long. I just can’t take any more of this bullshit.

[Aussie105]

22. What we see as Reality

Trump sees as a creation of his imagination. Words can affect that not-real Reality.
So Trump is saying, none of this matters, all I have to do is talk and think about it some more, and the virus will magically go away, and 200,000 dead will rise and carry on with their lives as normal.

Of course, in the real Reality, Trump is a proper nut job and the dead shall remain so for ever more.

But why discuss what is wrong with Trump? We know what is wrong with him - a proper nut job who was elevated to POTUS by internal US and external forces that thought it would be some sort of gravy train with something to gain personally.

Question now should be - what to do about it?

Answer: Ignore him as best you can. Protect yourself from the mental threats (Trump) and physical threats (the virus) that surround you, and GO VOTE!!!!

Be safe!

Do not surrender!

23. I wish it would affect his lungs, since his campaign rallies are super spreaders.

[King_Klonopin]

24. So that makes 200,000 "nobodies"

Are they also losers, suckers, disgusting, or lacking in "good genes"?
They are obviously expendable in Donny's twisted mind.

I'm 61 years old. I had COVID -- with symptoms -- back in April.
I'm going to see a pulmonologist in 2 weeks because my lungs are shot.
I guess it is just my imagination that I am always short of breath and
my lungs are always "sore", for lack of a better description, and I sometimes
spend a day or two in bed from fatigue. Maybe I'm just part of the great
hoax and COVID conspiracy?

His ignorance never ceases to amaze . . .

Intercourse D.T.

25. It affects virtually nobody?

No, you're thinking of illegal immigration.
