Trump claims 99% of COVID-19 cases are "harmless"

[HomerJS]

Dragging Trump out of the White House and giving him a bullet to the head is too good for this dirtbag. Like the COVID cases Trump's level of incompetence and downright lying has reached an all time high. Unfortunately we still have morons that listen to this guy. What worse we have people that know better yet continue to suck Trump's dick to remain in office.

FDA head rejects Trump’s false claim that 99% of COVID-19 cases are ‘harmless’: ‘This is a serious problem’

The Food and Drug Administration commissioner is declining to back up President Donald Trump’s claim that 99% of coronavirus cases are “harmless.” Dr. Stephen Hahn tells CNN and A…

C'mon. You know better. Death wishes just aren't acceptable.

Shitty and unpersuasive argument when that unlucky 1%, even if that number was real, means millions of people either dead or with permanent organ damage.

He should put his money where his mouth is: stop his own daily covid testing, and start touring the covid wards.

Yup. Tell the other 3.5% dead not included in his 1%

With our luck he would get it, have mild symptoms and recover quickly, and convince millions more that we should aim for herd immunity. Kind of a trial by fire to prove you aren't a liberal snowflake.

His numbers are likely good, by chance im sure, thing is 1% is not a small number.
Thats 35 million Americans, if 10% of those die, thats a staggering 3.5 million dead.
Compare that to Europe that mostly have the virus in a chokehold now, waiting for that damned vaccine...
And the oooonly reason he is willing to kill Americans is reelection. Well not the only reason there is the whole bounty program by Putin in Afghanistan that he endorses as well but that is another story.

Remember he not claiming 99% don't get it but 99% of people who do get it, it is harmless.

Indeed, a lot of people getting it will never know they had it.

But it is not harmless to 99% of people who get it, that's more Trump bullshit. 3-5% of people who contract it are hospitalized. 60% are symptomatic. These are the most recent numbers I have read. If his position is 1 in 100 people die and it's no big deal.....

You go through your entire life, very, very rarely having a day in your life where you face a 1% chance of death.

Trump is a fucking moron.

 

[balloonshark]

There is only one 1% that really matters to Trump and the republicans.

You also have all the side effects of infection. Risk of permanent - and possibly serious - lung damage, temporary or possibly permanent nerve or brain damage (loss of taste and/or smell, and more) other inner organ damage including cardiovascular damage (arrhythmia, blood clots/stroke.) We seem to be discovering more nasty effects of covid all the time.

As usual, Dumpy is just projecting his own desires as baseless lies. He really is the most ill suited person I can think of as Preznitch.

As we have all noticed Trump is more than willing to sacrifice his own loyalist supporters to the virus and its deadly effects and wadd'a ya know his supporters are more than willing to risk a horrific death or its lifelong debilitating consequences in order to keep him in office despite the compelling instinct to survive that nature gave them.

This has all the makings of some kind of unbelievable weird, surreal diabolical "Death Wish" spinoff with a cast of millions of imbecile cultists worshiping the combined reincarnation of every tyrant and self-proclaimed fatalistic cult leader the world has ever known.

And they like it that way. They LIKE it that way.

The president downplays it, the lefties like mouthbreatherJS and their sycophantic media make it sound like Ebola. The WHO is run by China. The CDC nibbles around the edges. The stats are jacked because we haven’t done comprehensive testing until recently and we have medical people reporting COVID when it was really something else to make more money.

Maybe the 1% of cases trump referred to are the protesters/rioters/looters which the left and the media totally agree with. (-;

By the way loudmouthscumbagJS who’s gonna do it? You? That’s funny Ha! Ha! Scared little batshit Marxists like you don’t do guns.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Before we can discuss this we need to define what harmless is.
The President appears to be saying anything that doesn’t kill you is harmless.

Ebola killed two people in the US. This is at like 120,000 and counting, not counting the thousands of excess “pneumonia” deaths that dumb fuck states like Georgia use to cook their books. Guess we can throw away your post since it’s based on an idiotic premise. I know “righties” don’t do numbers or math learnin’ so I forgive you.

 

[cytg111]

Word in Europe is: Dont do as the US, then its back to square one. Keep up the good protocols.

 

[Mai72]

What isn't talked about are the serious complications that many are facing after recovery. Yes, the fatality rate is low. But, that doesn't tell the full story.

You really don't get it, huh? Absent controls, the virus can readily overwhelm the hospital system. Mere truth. When that happens, needless deaths will obviously occur on a scale we couldn't even imagine 6 months ago. Trump DGAF. He & his army of maskless morons are in the process of making it that way in all too many places. I realize that Y'all had high hopes for the man but it's time to recognize that it was a yuge mistake, sad to say. It's not working out well & it's time to quit pretending.

lol tell your nutjobs to learn to do basic math of not taking the number of deaths over the number of total cases and calling that the death rate for COVID19.

That's just 3rd grade-level shit.

edit: I have no idea what you’re saying here, so I’ll just leave it alone. Writing coherent sentences is also third grade level shit by the way.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

I wasn’t talking about the death rate you dimwit, but great job missing the point. Maybe next time it won’t fly over your head ... LOL who am I kidding.

I never said you did?

And not even 3 posts down you get one of these VERY SMART. VERY TALENTED GUYS that are able to deduce AMAZING math of basic division but falsely calling it a death rate.

Yup. Tell the other 3.5% dead not included in his 1%

 

[VRAMdemon]

There are right wingers and life long Republicans who realize Trump is damaging the cause and want him to shut the fuck up. Some of them are in my family. I'm starting to see the backlash. This 99% statement was the last straw for my uncle and his wife.

Trump will tell them to blame Antifa or Obama. But the muttering will begin. People will start saying: - It wasn't Antifa that told me I didn't need to wear a mask. It wasn't Obama who told me to go to that rally. It wasn't China who promised me that the virus would just disappear on it's own and that 99% of the cases are "harmless". Trump’s been telling his followers for four years that whenever you have a problem, the first thing you need to do is find somebody you can blame for it. And that’s what they’ve been doing and some are still going to do.

We will eventually approach the point where many of Trump’s followers will stop listening to him telling them to blame the government and eventually, for them to start seeing HIM as the government. Trump’s brought it on himself. He’s created a movement of people that look for somebody to blame, that are told not to trust anyone, that are told the government is full of corruption, that are told that people who promise to help you are really going to betray you, and that conspiracies are all over the place. At some point, some in his movement will inevitably turn on him.

Trump’s problem is that his people are going to react to the deaths the same way he is; they’re going to look for somebody else they can blame for the problems they caused. With Trump himself, that means blaming Obama or Biden or the Democrats or Deep State or China or the testing. And Trump thinks his cult will follow his lead. But they’re more likely to follow his example. And that means blaming Trump for telling them to think stupid thoughts and do stupid things rather than blaming themselves for thinking those stupid thoughts and doing those stupid things.

Trump’s supporters have stood by and covered their eyes and ears at the mere mention of bad news. With statements like this. They will have a much harder time ignoring his incompetence. They can still yell “Fake News” if they want, but deep down inside, more and more of them now know that Trump is probably quite literally killing their communities.

It doesn't even matter from a practical POV. It's just a way for Trump to obfuscate. Current caseloads are swamping the system in places like Texas & Florida. It's also showing exponential increase in those places & others, doubling every two weeks or so. That's a ticket to disaster.
