Internationally most western governments are recovering. The USA never even left the first wave.


Well there was early linear escalation (daily new cases) until early April but it flattened out and fell slowly until mid-Jun. If that had continued ... well it still wouldn't be a brilliant result, but the US could claim covid was "under control".

What happened then is linear growth in new cases indistinguishable from a country having its first wave. I would call it a second wave, particularly since it's clearly tied to a change of policy.

Trump did give news conferences I saw urging Americans to wear the masks and follow social distancing rules. We have followed the rules all nations have. Republican and Democrat governors closed down parts of the economy of their states. But the Democrats and Democrat supporters blame trump for the unemployment caused by the lock downs and the deaths of Americans, for political reasons against him called politics. Despite the virus crisis the unemployment rate has dropped the last two months, and the Democrats still attack Trump on the unemployment rate. Just saying for the record, I tried to explain this hoax statement of Trump as I stated above, and I got in trouble with the Mods twice for posting false information, according to them, because I did not explain it correctly. I tried to explain to them what I meant in my post. All I can do is accept their decision as I strongly disagree with it, move on and be more careful the next times. I am still proud of my perfect record, of not baiting, trolling or using foul language against my fellow nations.


He has a problem of saying one thing and saying something else soon after. He doesn't not believe in masks or social distancing. If that was the case, why would it be news that he was seen wearing one? I suspect Walter Reed told him he had to or no visit. If he supported social distancing, why did he have his people remove the "don't sit here" stickers from seats at his last rally?

As to the lockdown; if he hadn't of been so incompetent at managing this crises, we wouldn't have had to have this long of a lockout. Supplies weren't available. Military medical wasn't put on alert. Existing tech wasn't being checked. Supplies not being stored for distribution. We had to make sure Chinese nationals couldn't come in. Everybody else. Come on down....well except those illegals. Did you know it's starting to look like Covid entered from Europe? Good job keeping those chinese out..

He failed on this one. It's why he is trying to throw gas on the racism and police violence problems. Make the people argue about that so they don't think about what a fuck he was over covid.

Oh and the unemployment rate isn't due to trump. It's just people returning to available jobs which they were laid off. Well those that could. Many don't have them anymore. But of course it's not because they want a job. They want the 600 dollars coming from the government instead.

Trump has doubled down on the hoax comments. He doesn't want to manage the pandemic anymore. He would prefer not to be asked questions as he is too stupid. Seriously; if we stopped testing; the infection rates would go down????? It would be one thing if he was just a crappy joke teller; it's another to keep repeating it.

It's also worth noting why are the comments of a game show host only older people remember mean anything over covid?

Trump thinks it is bad if the media can accurately tell the public how many people are infected.

Trump said that while coronavirus testing “is a good thing,” it has also served as “fodder for the fake news to report cases.” He said that if the U.S. didn’t test people for Covid-19, then you wouldn’t have “all the headlines” because the nation has one of the lowest mortality rate.

“When I turn on the news I see cases, cases, cases,” Trump said.

It's called "the news" mr. Trump. When deaths follow inevitably from the rocketing infections, you'll see that too.

I aint offended simply by Trump running on a platform of brown man bad. I'm angrier at how his actions, or lack thereof, condemned 130,000 Americans to their doom, cause apparently mask wearing is for losers, covid is just the flu, muh economy and this is the democrats' new hoax.

Those strong personal and political anti Trump views are your opinions. By the way President Trump said the statement at a political rally with his supporters, I think President Trump meant the attacks against him on the virus crisis were the Democrats new hoax. I think President Trump did not mean the virus crisis was the hoax. But I think the leftist anti Trump media made it sound that way, for political reasons against him, then it became a Democrat talking point against Trump. The virus crisis is international not just in the USA.


The attacks against him aren't a hoax either though. When you tell people its just the flu, refuse to help with testing, confiscate medical supplies such as masks from states, make fun of people for wearing masks and direct your sock puppets in the office of governor in several states to reopen immediately, you dont get to bitch when people die and everyone says "Donald this is your fault."

So Trump wants to end testing so he can claim there arent many cases. There may actually be alot but he wants to say "we did 300 tests and detected only 300 positive cases."

Well no; he claims that the mortality rate is low - and that the news is only focussing on infections - and that less testing would therefor make everything look better.

Of course, that last part is silly. Having 10.000 deaths from 10.000 reported infections after all is much worse than 10.000 deaths from 100 million infections.

Assistant to the president and coronavirus task force member Peter Navarro says you shouldn't trust the information coming from governmental health experts.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has a good bedside manner with the public, but he has been wrong about everything I have interacted with him on.

So when you ask me whether I listen to Dr. Fauci’s advice, my answer is: only with skepticism and caution.


The Trump administration continues to attack itself... This is remarkable.

The Trump administration continues to attack itself... This is remarkable.

Holy shit his arguments are so wrong on so many levels that if he posted them on NationStates, everyone would pile on him for misrepresentation and outright lying.

Just on the first paragraph:
In late January, when I was making the case on behalf of the president to take down the flights from China, Fauci fought against the president’s courageous decision — which might well have saved hundreds of thousands of American lives.

The link embedded in the "against" word led me to this, right in the title:
Did Dr. Fauci Disagree With Trump’s Decision to Curtail Travel From China?
No.


Then it detailed how Fauci was already supporting travel bans from China since January 30, the exact timeline when Navarro claimed Fauci was against travel bans:
While Fauci said in the earlier stages of the pandemic that a China travel ban was “not something that I think we're even considering,” according to New York Times interviews with White House aides and Fauci himself, by January 30 the leading public health officials in the federal government were recommending travel restrictions with China to President Trump. Aides also told the Wall Street Journal that it was Fauci, CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield, and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar that convinced the initially- skeptical Trump to make the decision. Azar’s explanation of the decision echoes this reporting, as he said the travel restrictions were implemented based on “the uniform recommendations of the career public health officials here at HHS.”


TL;DR: Peter Navarro is full of shit. To quote Christopher Hitchens, if you gave Navarro an enema he could be buried in a matchbox.
