Study Finds 'Single Largest Driver' of Coronavirus Misinformation: Trump

(9,895 posts)Trump has been lying about COVID-19 since January and has NEVER stopped.
He is incapable of admitting he was wrong, even as infections rise (AGAIN after schools reopened, just as after the "economy" was reopened, and after Memorial Day and 4th of July and Sturgis and Tulsa and on and on) and deaths are sure to follow.
There are two things that have happened of consequence with COVID since March - 1) healthcare workers have become better equipped to slow the disease and its progression to help lower the death rate and 2) Republicans found out that it affected minorities and the poor more than whites and the rich and have acted EXACTLY as you expect for a bunch of racist turds.
The misinformation and frankly disinformation continue to flow like all the other lies from Trump and his sycophantic enablers.

(788 posts)Winter is coming. As usual wash hands, wear your mask. But, above all, stay away from people indoors: restaurants, bars, parties. Yes, it is schizophrenic that across America bars, restaurants and parties continue. Just don't! People tend not to wear masks at these venues, where they congregate for hours. When people get lubricated by booze, the spittle flies like confetti. Even during sober conversations, the droplets still magic carpet ride in the air. Consequently, they remain the most dangerous places you can be when it comes to contracting the novel coronavirus. The breeze from the air conditioners (spit launchers) recirculate and SARS-CoV-2 surfs right into the nostrils, its preferred landing strip. How do I know this? Science, baby!*

(9,090 posts)for limbaugh transcripts except in this trump disaster it is the single biggest source. the WH/trump coordinates with it- they all called COVID a hoax, like a common cold, politicizing masks, herd immunity etc
republican talk radio reaches 50 mil/week and at $1000/hr x 1200 stations x 15hrs/day it's worth about 90MIL/week FREE
putin figured that out a long time ago and has probably been feeding it since at least 2008

(788 posts)To Trump, the lives of Americans are expendable. Business profits and the investor class are Trump's agenda over any and all measures our government needs to take to protect Americans. Trump is swimming in debt and needs the largess of corporations to help get him out of it. This is just the latest example of how the Trump administration has hijacked the Centers for Disease Control. There are rumors about that Dr. Redfield, the C.D.C. Director, will resign. It was in this way that Trump helped to make the meat processing industry in the U.S. hot zone super spreaders. A good step towards stopping the spread of COVID-19 is to vote Trump out.
The New York Times: White House Blocked C.D.C. Order to Keep Cruise Ships Docked
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/30/health/covid-cruise-ships.html
"The White House has blocked a new order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to keep cruise ships docked until mid-February, a step that would have displeased the politically powerful tourism industry in the crucial swing state of Florida."

(8,790 posts)Instead of all these articles listing all of each day's lies,
Why doesn't someone just document the times he tells the truth??????? Much simpler.........
It has become a national pastime for everyone to log on and see what lies he has told in the last 24 hours.
He loves the fact that he has a captive audience to all his antics and lies. A Narcissist's wet dream......

(788 posts)I watched a Wisconsin medical director on t.v. last night. The hospitals have reached maximum with COVID-19 patients and they are starting to use the hospital hallways and unused spaces for beds. Sounds like NYC in the beginning. Trump will, however, be holding other outside, airport rallies in Wisconsin.

(5,125 posts)The more people that die in this pandemic, the less people to vote against him.
The worse it gets the more he can say, "Oh, it's a national emergency, I can't step down until it's over."
What a maroon.
