I called it. I fraking called it. New York is finally going to open

Many believe US COVID deaths would be much lower if a faster, more complete response was initiated. Columbia University estimates that would have saved 130K - 210K Americans.
"Inadequate COVID-19 Response Likely Resulted in 130,000 - 210,000 Avoidable Deaths - Coronavirus Coverage"
Like what in response? Plus, the flu has been cured. Some of those things in the article are not even possible constitutionally. The POTUS can't issues a national mask mandate, only governors can in their respective states and some of that is questionable depending on the state(like you need sheriffs to enforce it). He can't only do it on federal property. He can't mandate a national lockdown.

Why is some of that stuff hard to understand, you totalitarians and chicken littles, don't get it. Why is this so hard to undersand?

Joe Biden, cheater supreme, can say national mask madnate all he wants, it holds no f'ing merit outside of federal property.

What facts have you offered? I just see a bunch of declarative statements laced with insults and namecalling.

Statistics are declarative statements? Who knew? And if you can't survive name calling, then get your pussy ass off this board.

Don't know what you're babbling about. My points are clear - low positivity rates and shots being administered - probably drove NY's decision to reopen - not Trump leaving office.

You are flat out implying the small number of those vaccinated with the 2nd COVID vaccine are already making the difference in allowing the state to reopen. You made a mistake with such a naive statement, just own it.

NY's total population - the fact there are more people residing in NYC than in 38 of our 50 states - is not an assumption....it's a fact. And you have to take into consideration the total universe of people when discussing individual numbers.

Your entire argument is based on population size. Remember when you said this?
As we know.....19,000,000 people live in NYC

People are getting the shot....


Plenty have....progress is being made. I suppose you believe they should wait until everyone is vaccinated? NY disagrees.

If you can find where I said that, then I'll kiss @MichiganHerd 's black ass. No you fvcking dolt, I expect them to stick to their word and reopen once the majority of the population have been vaccinated and numbers sink to beneath pandemic levels. I mean that's where the goal posts were located this summer when your little vag was bleeding heavy on how Trump should stop encouraging states to stay open.


Damn....you're coming across as a tad unhinged. 7.3% positivity rate.

Now libs want to use positivity rates and focus on all other positive data regarding COVID. How cute.

Those "avoidable deaths" would have been "avoided" by simply classifying them appropriately for what their cause of death actually was.
 
Like what in response?
perhaps you should read the article to find out what they were measuring.

"The report by Columbia University Earth Institute’s National Center for Disaster Preparedness, entitled “130,000 – 210,000 Avoidable COVID-19 Deaths — and Counting — in the U.S.,” compares the U.S. death toll and policy response to six similarly high-income countries: South Korea, Japan, Germany, Australia, France, and Canada."

"The new report suggests that if the U.S. followed similar policies and protocols as the six nations, such as building sufficient testing capabilities, enacting earlier lockdowns, issuing a national mask-wearing mandate, and providing federal guidance on social distancing, it could have avoided at least 130,000 and potentially as many as 210,000 COVID-19 deaths."

"The report concludes there is a disproportionately high COVID-19 death rate in the U.S. compared to the other nations, even when examining median population age and obesity — two well-documented factors that affect COVID-19 mortality rates. This is likely explained by the slow and disorganized response by the Trump administration in both the early days of the pandemic and persistently through today. South Korea, for example, which reported its first COVID-19 case on the same day as the U.S., quickly enacted stringent measures to combat the spread of the virus that have resulted in a low mortality rate among its population."

Reciting the number of COVID deaths and US population really isn't adding anything of statistical value....

My only comment about vaccinations were they're in progress....and, yes, several have completed both shots. Really, don't know why you're getting all worked up about this.

While I laugh my ass off at Michigan's posts...really don't know why you're dragging him into this. However, he would add superior levity.

The rest of your post was just so much insane shit... I'll stick with "no comment".

What does this prove? That Monday morning quarterbacks have the benefit of 20/20 hindsight?

While Trump was trying to limit travel from China as early as January Pelosi, Newsome and Cuomo were downplaying it well into February to celebrate the Chinese New Year in both CA and NY. Cuomo even said influenza was more of a threat than the Coronavirus. Those are facts - look them up.

Why do you blame Trump for all of this? Do you not believe the ultimate culpability lies with the Chinese government and their initial and ongoing cover-up? There is evidence that China restricted travel from Wuhan to other provinces in January but continued to allow international travel from it for some time.

WTF? It was a response to the question in your last post asking me how 381K deaths is a colossal failure? According to Columbia University, 130K to 210K deaths didn't need to happen....and the article lays out how they came to that conclusion and what was being measured. You and Herdman suffer the same Ignoring-the-data-even-when-it's-right-in-front-of-your-face syndrome.

I didn't write the Columbia University article - some highly educated researchers did. Need to ask them why they blame Trump for not aggressively addressing COVID in the early stages or why he misled the American public about the deadliness of the virus.

I've not heard of this but I have heard of Trump Derangement Syndrome, have you?

It really is a complex world and this pandemic is as well. There is usually a counterpoint to every point yet you seem to take the narrow and simplistic view on every single thing to blame Trump. It is insulting to one's intelligence to hear talking heads, celebrities and even you say that Donald Trump is responsible for 381k deaths. That is not a reasonable, intelligent or valid statement and only detracts from finding common ground.

At the time of the initial discovery of COVID-19 our government was essentially distracted and shut down by the democrats trying to score political points with the Russian impeachment charade instead of addressing important issues like a Coronavirus policy? As the potential severity of the virus became known the aforementioned Pelosi, Newsome and Cuomo were more concerned about impeaching Trump and celebrating the Chinese New Year than mitigating the spread of the virus. The media was more concerned with the name of the virus than its origin or effects.

Did you conveniently forget about those things? Did the researchers consider them too? I doubt it.

As a people many Americans have far too short a memory as they forget about the context of things. I have said it before and will likely say it again we are teaching our kids what to think, not how to think. Common sense and critical thinking are in too short a supply in our country and world right now.

Then I guess you just proved that Donald Trump's mitigation efforts worked since we haven't had "millions" of deaths.

Millions if NO mitigation efforts.
I guess you just proved that social distancing, the lockdowns, masks, and washing of hands is not a mitigation effort.
 
Last post on this:

1. I don't want anyone to catch Coronavirus and certainly want no one to die from it.
2. If you value human life there should be no reason to politicize the crisis because in doing so you are only taking energy and resources from mitigating and/or reducing its threat.
3. Especially troubling is the aggressive nature the virus attacks certain young individuals in otherwise excellent health.
4. Infection rates, symptoms, death rates, etc. have all been overstated from virtually day one. Governor Cuomo said as much until he realized how much political capital could be gained by the crisis.
5. There have been many contradicting and changing statements made by the media, politicians and the healthcare field. Like the little boy who cried wolf this has increased public distrust and skepticism and likely contributed to it spread.
6. The negative reaction by many of the aforementioned to President Trump's announcement of the Warp Speed Task Force has also likely undermined the public's acceptance of the vaccine.
And lastly,
7. Donald Trump didn't say ingesting bleach was an effective treatment even though Joe Biden has often repeated that he did. I have had health care professionals tell me that he said it. I keep asking them to find the video and show me. No one has been able to yet because it doesn't exist. This further detracts from honest efforts to mitigate and possibly eliminate the threat. The Philadelphia Enquirer is no friend to Donald Trump but did have the integrity to refute that falsehood.

Good grief - I posted findings from Columbia University. It was a pretty exhaustive and objective study....full of facts, data and conclusions. I didn't write it - please stop attributing it to me.

Trump is on tape telling a journalist he knew the virus was more deadly than he let on, but didn't want to alarm the country. So, you really can't have it both ways....spouting his lies that he didn't have time to deal with it when Trump is on tape saying, "Yeah, I don't want to tell the American public about this deadly disease." And him telling us it was "like the flu"....Below is a refresher...

So, what you're saying is, you condemn Trump for every wrong doing and mistake he could have possibly committed, but you completely turn a blind eye to the shit democrats did, all "because Trump..."

This is why no one outside of mentally deranged liberals will take you serious.

I just couldn't let this pass so I am posting one more time:

We saw dems inciting thousands to ransack cities, Targets, auto parts stores, federal courthouses, police stations, etc. this past summer. We recently saw dems inciting followers to storm the Supreme Court building. Were you every bit as damning then??? If not what is the difference?

Were there really "thousands" ransacking the US Capitol? I didn't count but I believe they have identified 170 and the number might go up into the hundreds.

This is the critical thinking aspect I have been discussing. A talking head says thousands for effect and you blindly repeat it without verification or further research.

Anyone that has both Republicans and Democrat on edge like Trump has got to be doing something right. There are swamp rats in both parties and have a complicit media running cover. Here is a first hand account which runs counter to what the anti-Trump media says.



Have courage and open your eyes to a different perspective.

I recall some Dems offering empathy and moral support to protests, but not the violence. AND, I don't recall Dem leadership planning the protests, assembling the protesters and then speaking to the crowd to get them revved up for violence before the march. You know, telling them "you have to fight for it"....or "have to engage in combat"...or "it's time to start taking some names and kicking some ass".

Heard a former FBI leader state anyone who climbed on the steps of the Capitol last Wednesday technically committed a crime. Can't say if they're going to attempt to find all those folks but arrests keep climbing.

Also, can you say there weren't thousands engaged? After looking at the below, it's not difficult to conclude "thousands". And take 7 mins to look at that vid...more and more info is emerging making this more than a little disturbing.

Typical liberal BS. Never answer the question, especially when you know you can't without exposing your hypocrisy. Your then have to respond with hyperbole by making outlandish stretches and comparisons in a weak attempt to make your point. And when that fails you then resort to name calling.

I guess you had to use Osama bin laden for your example as those of your ilk secretly (or not so secretly) admire Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc. Dems didn't want the National Guard in their riotous cities this past summer but now we have to have 20k in DC. They never like the military until they are in control. Remember Hillary loathes the military...

Agree...one thing is clear - "us vs them" was alive and well before Trump....but his presidency was "us vs. them" on steroids.

For the record, the Dems didn't plan a protest, assemble a mob and incite that mob to attack the US Capitol. I really can't think of any "whatboutism" that would compare to that insurrection. AND you don't have to be a "deranged liberal asshole" to embrace that position - just ask the 10 republican Congressmen who voted to impeach this president; it was the largest bi-partisan house impeachment vote in US history. Also, McConnell has voiced some support for Trump's impeachment - guess we'll see how many Republican Senators will hold Trump accountable for an act most have accepted that he bears responsibility.

Obama did his share too. The media has been fanning the flames for quite some time too. I understand Trump is polarizing, but so is Hilary, Obama, etc. Trump has received more black support than any Republican since 1960. I think that terrifies the left and is part of the reason for the unprecedented media attacks on him.
