You know every other country in the world that had a gameplan, and not an incompetent leader, seem to be recovering much quicker than we are. It isn't some Dem hoax. Trump is doing a fine job of unseating himself.

You conveniently left out the part where he says he's doing his part, so you could call him a self-entitled idiot. Here's the rest of what he said (you now, the part you left out):

As for a vaccine, Moderna seems to be close to having one ready by early 2021.

You're an idiot. Don't lump me in with the anti masker, conspiracy theory crowd. I clearly stated my position on this. I've never been anti media, but it's obvious CNN is bludgeoning us over the head with death counts and blowing this out of proportion.

To the Texas Pilot..dude, turn off Fox News. You seriously think this is all a global conspiracy to bring down Orange Man? Come on, man.

False. His post is a logical contradiction. How can you call people idiots for wanting to take it seriously, but also acknowledging there are high-risk people out there?

I apologize. I misread your post. I just reread it and understood the way you meant it the second time around. I can't turn on any MSM outlet because it's all right-wing lies and mistruths or its constant "BREAKING NEWS" and death counts on left-wing outlets

Other countries are not honestly reporting their cases. And the president did not unleash this virus on us, you can thank your Chinese comrades for that.

High-risk people are like you said, HIGH RISK. Not just with covid but a bunch of other stuff too, so everyone one else should suffer too?? Why can't my kids go to school, because some 75 year old in a nursing home may get sick and die? I have to potentially lose my job because some 60 year old 5'8 250lb diabetic may get sick and die? Check out the numbers and tell me how many people under 65 are dying from this, and then tell me if ruining the world is worth those numbers. If the deaths were oh so terrible we would be hearing about it left and right, but they aren't so all they scare people with is case numbers, and unfortunately it has turned so political that none of these idiots can do the sensible thing and let non high risk people and children back to their normal lives with precautions. And yes my grandfather is extremely high risk and so is my father in law, but thats their risk to worry about not mine they say.

Do you have evidence of say Europe not reporting cases? It seems like a new reason a week we are doing well when we clearly are not.
