virus response?

[dragmerc]

is this fake news?
saw it on lefty wastebook.

The next time someone spews some nonsense that Trump did nothing to stop Covid-19 and is responsible for 200k deaths, hit them with these facts:
➼ After Trump in January declared a “humanitarian and security crisis" during a primetime Oval Office address, Sen. Chuck Schumer, speaking beside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said Trump was working to “manufacture a crisis, stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration." Party leader Tom Perez also called it “manufactured.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., described it as a "'crisis' that doesn't exist."
➼ Jan 11-13: The first known coronavirus death is reported by Chinese state media. 41 confirmed deaths and the first case outside of China is confirmed in Thailand.
➼ Sen. Elizabeth Warren tweeted at the time that "we're not falling" for the "fake crisis."
➼ Jan 14 - the WHO (World Health Organization) sent out a tweet declaring that there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission of the COVID-19 virus.
➼ Jan 15 The House of Representatives votes to send articles of impeachment to the Senate. Pelosi and House Democrats celebrate with a signing ceremony featuring commemorative pens.
➼ Jan 17: Enhanced screening of travelers from Wuhan initiated. The following week 75–80 percent of travel from Wuhan, China is covered with five airports screening.
➼ Jan 24 - Dr. Anthony Fauci National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director said - “ Covid 19 It isn't something the American public needs to worry about or be frightened about, because we have ways of preparing and screening of. It's a very, very low risk to the United States, but it's something that we as public health officials need to take very seriously,"
➼ Jan 24, Joe Scarborough and wife Minka had a segment where they said "no Americans need to be concerned about COVID-19 and should be more concerned about the common flu.
➼ Jan 29 U.S. senators begin two days of questioning in the impeachment trial; Joe Biden in a speech in Iowa said that Trump's idea of restricting travel from China was "Xenophobic".
➼ Jan 30: The State Department issues a Level 4: Do Not Travel Health Advisory for all of China. The CDC issues their own warning, saying travelers should “avoid all nonessential travel to China.”
➼ Jan 30: The Trump Administration hosts a conference call with the nation’s governors, Secretary Azar, Director Redfield, Dr. Fauci, and others. The administration’s action plan for responding to the coronavirus outbreak is presented. Dems continue Impeachment charade.
➼ Jan 30, WHO calls corona virus a healthcare emergency.
➼ Feb 2 - New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot, “The risk to New Yorkers for Coronavirus is low and our preparedness as a city is very high. There is no reason not to take the subway, not to take the bus, not to go out to your favorite restaurant, and certainly not to miss the parade next Sunday. I’m going to be there.”
➼ Feb 20: 77,000 cases are confirmed worldwide, according to WHO.

➼ Mar 9 Bernie Sanders said he would NOT, I repeat he said he would NOT shut down travel from March 20, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow (as well as NY Times) bash Trump for talking about Hydroxy Cloroquin calling it a "fairy tale" and giving people false hope. Now it is being sought after to fight the disease and is being tested as helping patients recover faster.
➼ Mar 13: House Democrat leaders withdrew from the calendar a floor vote on a bill targeting President Trump’s travel restriction.
➼ Mar 30 Morning anchors say "everyone" saw this coming in early January.

Falsi was wrong about a lot other things also. From cruises to hydroxychloroquine. Also we can’t forget the democrat and republican senators that knew about how dangerous this was in the beginning also, including bernie and feinstein.

230,000 DEAD American's

Trump knew about the danger of this virus in Jan and refused to tell us. He could have stopped all traffic into the USA from Europe and specifically Italy where the virus was raging rampant. But he only shut the door on China while still allowing infected American's to come back into the USA from China and Europe. The Federal Government failed to quarantine the people from that Boat and they spread it all around the Washington area. He failed to stop traffic coming from Europe into New York City and that is the second big hot spot. From there the virus spread throughout the USA. Now it's raging in Indiana, Wisconsin, and many other midwestern states as well as in the South East and West. Arizona and Florida are having record numbers of new Covid-19 cases.

Trump said the virus would go away last April with the warm weather. He failed to realize that when it's hot up here it's cold down in South American and that travel between the continents can bring the virus back around. He failed to make masks here in American. N95 masks that are in desperate need here were not manufactured here. Instead, they are made in China. That is where Trump screwed up big time. He fails to wear a mask and sets a bad example. He could have ordered companies here in the USA to make an N95 mask by the millions but he refused to do so. He slowed the testing down on purpose saying that testing causes the virus to spread. He is a fool. Anyone that follows the fool needs to be sent to Russia. Trump is doing Putin's dirty work and has allowed 230,000 Americans to die and millions more to contract this virus. And you can see how the virus affects the brain. Watch Trump after he got out of the hospital and his outrageous actions. He is a fool and a dangerous fool.

Today Americans will finally kick his ass to the curb and we will be done with the fool. Trump did nothing to stop the virus. He pushed to open schools when the virus was raging wild. He has put the kids in danger of getting the virus and taking it back home to mom and dad. Mom and dad gave it to their grandparents and a lot of them died. I could go on and on. Trump listens to Dr Atlas a neurologist who has no background in infectious disease. He kicked Dr. Debra Birx and Dr. Anthony Falci to the curb and both are experts in the field of infectious disease. Trump is an ASS HOLE.

Dr. Fauci has more brains in his little finger than Trump has in his whole body. And Trump is much smarter than TimE. Trump would have never let his mom take his laptop to that bind computer shop owner and left it there for repairs with all that porn on the hard drive. ha ha.


The biggest mistake that Trump made and the reason he will lose the election is that he failed to listen to the experts on infectious diseases. Instead, he listened to people who deal with trade and neurological disease. I guess if you are a mad man like Trump you would need a neurologist. haha. Trump should have listened to Dr. Debra Birx, not Atlax and Neuevaro.

You have not even looked at Biden's web site. Have you? Don't tell me you can't see something when your eyes are closed and you are not even looking.
Biden will mandate mask-wearing. He will force companies to manufacture N95 type masks that can filter the virus out of the air. He will lead by example and wear a mask as the CDC advises. He will preserve the USEPA and the CDC and return them to their proper places and respect. Scientists that were fired will be rehired immediately and put back to work. He will listen to the experts in the field, unlike Trump. Trump knew about this virus as he was briefed on it and the dangers of the virus. Trump decided to hide the facts so as not to ruin his election chances. He said so much already and it's on tape. Listen to Bob Woodward's tape recordings that he recorded while talking to Trump on the record.

the paper masks are 99% useless.
they might stop an idiot from blowing snot in your face but that's about it.
my mask fogs up my glasses during normal breathing.
that tells me it's not stopping my breath.

You are dead wrong. And it's people like you who spread lies and false information that leads people to not wear masks that are responsible for a lot of these excessive deaths.

Only one type of mask keeps the virus out and that is the N95.

The paper mask doesn't filter the virus out of the air we breathe. Because the poor size is not small enough to catch the virus particles out of the air. But the paper masks prevent a lot of the spit ( see my post in the photo forum showing how a mask slows the spread of spit particles from a human wearing a paper mask vs no mask at all) from coming out of our mouths and nose when we talk or sneeze or cough. That is why everyone has to wear a paper mask AND ALSO keep our distance from each other. Proper ventilation is also needed inside enclosed spaces. That is not always possible and most places don't have the required ventilation that slows the spread of this virus.


Now if everyone could wear an N95 type mask that would be better. But there are not enough N95 masks to go around. So everyone needs to wear a paper mask when inside and keep away from other people to slow the spread of this virus.

You don't do any good and you do a lot more harm by misinforming people and telling them that paper masks don't work or help slow the spread. Stop with that BS.

Where did you get that 99% figure? Did you pull that out of your A&&? Because that is dead wrong. The paper masks may not be as good as the N95 type or PAPR type respirators but they slow the spread down by 90%.
