Because Trump is like a Discworld god - he needs worship to sustain himself.
Not worshipping him will result in him being stuck in the shape of a toupe.

I saw an article not too long ago of how a scuba mask was tweaked in Italy to act as a ventilator mask. I commend anyone and their efforts to help on this.

Watch this video:

That’s what you’re admitting to doing in real life.

I watched the video and I am having a lol attack. How convenient the Pro Democrats and Anti Trumpers get to decide what opinions and facts are. Get to decide who is wrong and who is right. How convenient they always win an argument, because of course they are always right, based on facts. So their is nothing to debate or argue about. I rest my case again, of course it is just a figure of speech. Great funny video, I am still having a lol attack.


It's like talking to a robot with you. How is it possible you can regurgitate the same answers over and over again?

Which again is not you having an understanding or even attempting to do so, or forming opinions and arguing them. You, despite me not even mentioning trump, seem to think “pro democrats and anti trumpers” have anything to do with what I said.

Oddly, you’re doing even worse than the guy in the video, as he’s at least contradicting the statements made, instead of just making up things to contradict.

Your posts will have no intrinsic value nor convince any person of any thing until you correct these horrid deficiencies contained within. At no point, have posted anything indicative of an argumentative point or even approaching a rational thought.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Spain and Italy are on a downward trend of their 1st derivative, but not of the actual slope. Total number of cases is still increasing at a rate higher than the recovery and death rate combined. It'll be awhile before that goes negative.

They haven’t reported deaths in several consecutive days though.

Wait, really? Damn my info is out of date then. That's amazing, considering my state reported 100 yesterday.

Creative, but wouldn't that run into the same kinds of problems as those sleep apnoea machines? If there's nothing to catch the exhaust then it'd just spray the virus everywhere. I don't know how SCUBA masks work though, so maybe I'm talking shite. No one listen to me.

In all honesty I can’t say. I don’t know how scuba masks work. Gallo is telling me that you have to tweak the valve to do something different. You would have to modify the sucking mechanism in the mask and control it from somewhere else, not the patient.
