The burden to prove that is on you. Until you show evidence there's no reason to believe your claims.

Article never specified the hydroxychloroquine cocktail. Stop spreading fake news even if it puts the President in a positive light.

For civilian purposes. Polymer (though metal is my favorite). Bullpup, 5x56 and .223 compatible. And railings...all the railings.

That's why I said "bringing up past comments on the virus before it got this bad won't do any good" because everyone underestimated the impact and no one person is totally at fault (save those in chinese government) for it getting as bad as it has.

Guess you missed the point of the post. The point was to point out that the people in our leadership that were privy to this information had faulty information. Even Trump and as this clip shows Fauci as well.

Oddly enough Trump also said it wasn't something to be concerned about and that they had it totally under control. This was largely based on the information he had available to him, much like Fauci. It's simple China and the WHO lied and people have and will die because of it. Bringing up past comments on the virus before it got this bad won't do any good for either side of the political spectrum.

If you read the article you'll find the headline is misleading. Only 37% of the doctors in this survey had it as the "most effective" out of 15 drugs.

Lets not be spreading fake news. I thought the Donald was supposed to hate that right?

Dr. Fauci said

"...it's not something that the citizens of the U.S. right now should be worried about".

Implying that with the information he had available at the time, largely provided by the WHO and China, that the epidemic wasn't as severe as it actually was.

Don't become reddit and just look at headlines/posts.

All demographics are at risk, some more than others. It's been shown that the healthcare system gets hammered especially hard because so many people can get sick at a rapid rate and because of that people who may not have died will die because they don't get the medical help they need. That is the bigger picture. This is why so many restrictions have been created in our country. You can debate about whether the restrictions are right or wrong but there isn't getting around that this new virus is nothing to be flippant about.

Flu isn't as contagious, has years of data on it, has a vaccine (albeit a shady one), it doesn't annually send the healthcare system to it's breaking point, and has treatments that increase survival rate.

I know that a point here is to try and compare Covid and the Flu by saying how one is being treated differently than the other despite both being deadly, but if we're all for not spreading fake news and being "ambassadors of truth", you're gonna have to concede this point.

I think it's too soon to be hopeful. It would take a week or two of a significant downturn in deaths to be able to draw any correlation.

Don't have faith Trump can rebound the economy?

And I am curious...Do you have any idea what shape the economy would be in if they didn't take the response they have up until now?

May want to take into account that a lot of these illnesses you see hear have years of data and medical research that has allowed the world to keep it this low. This new virus doesn't have that.

So if you couple the lack of medical research/treatments with how contagious it is and the fact the medical systems are breaking over it...then yea...People are going to be concerned.

Never said there wasn't. I was referring to you comparing this to an actual time where a real war was taking place.

2 Terms. As much as I like Trump, even he doesnt get to circumvent that amendment. Besides let the man rest. He'll be 78 by then.

Any sources to confirm this?

True. Based on past movements and protests they are often most effective in exposing people to an issue, however they seldom change the hearts of people at the top.

It has instances in where it's working. Marvel and DC are crumbling because their comics are no longer popular due to diversity hires and politics. Indie comics (notably Comicsgate) is more successful than some of the big 2's major franchises. Then you have movies like Terminator, Birds of Prey, and Ghostbusters 2016(?) that flopped because of politics.

And then you have the instances of people in the center or who were once on the left that were either betrayed or found that those they considered enemies aren't the demons they thought they were.

Your comparison isn't equivalent. I'm saying that if you want to actually change something then it'll take sacrifice and action. What you are saying in your taxation example is to run away. I'm telling you to go to the problem and support the change to fix it.
