A quick literal 2 minute check shows that dude never passes up n opportunity to criticize trump. People are using this as a political tool and its disgusting. At this point in time literally no one should care what we did wrong a moth ago, the only thing that should matter is how do we fix it (ie have the appropriate # of tests available, contain appropiately, etc) and then once we hopefully have this under control in a couple/few moths then we can point figures... if we must. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before all the closing of events and schools, the American Hospital Association’s best guess epidemiology was for 480,000 deaths over the next two months. That would be about 10x as deadly as the flu. If we can get this down to levels of the flu, that is a massive win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you living under a rock then? It was huge news for a long time. I was working bedside at the time in an ICU, so it was very relevant to me. It was definitely being reported on both locally and nationally, extensively. They also did literally none of the recent preventative measures to slow the spread of it, which in and of itself should tell you something. H1N1 had a much lower mortality rates and nearly 1/3 of people over 60 had antibodies from previous exposure. So to boil this down for those who need it, the typical at risk group (elderly) were not nearly as susceptible as the younger, healthier population. That doesn’t apply now. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/2009-h1n1-pandemic.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What im saying is that politics should play zero part in this but for some people it is. Which can make it difficult to tell what is real and what is just hot air (from some on both sides). to repeat the only imporant thing right now should be to figure out how to fix this, pointing fingers is a waste of time and stupid.

The whole post was essentially TLDR: "We need to stop talking about politics right now and start working on a cure/fix".. while no one was talking about politics.

You’re right man, bringing up Trump’s treatment when literally no one said anything about him totally isn’t politics at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
