Tough to put a number on any typical politicians incompetence, laziness and lies. So why is that supposed to be the issue as opposed to difference between Republican and Progressive agendas. If you prefer Progressivism, I suspect you prefer unlimited government power.

The difference is that in the beginning the virus was an unknown. So if you want to say it caused some deaths feel free. But that # is nothing compared to the incompetence shown by Trump. He could have prevented many deaths by just wearing a mask (something he very rarely does even today) and by getting out of the way of the experts and stopped contradicting them and giving ammo to the people who opened up too early.

anything to put 0% blame
on democrats, 100% blame on republicans. anything.

it’s still almost totally an unknown. how did some places do so well without shutting their lives down? no one knows. there’s almost no consensus on anything. zip.

so much is driven by TDS...

Right - TDS is the failure to criticize Trump for things the Repubs. criticized Obama for constantly (edit - similar to the above post re golf) and for things they used to say where core principles of their beliefs.

you don’t look backwards to judge what trump has done?

as to his early travel ban, what i like to point out is the liberal
hypocrisy. they all
said he was going too far, that the virus wasn’t that serious. now the same exact people are saying he didn’t do enough in january. that’s not hypocrisy?

did trump say it’s safe to send children to school? or that kids have a need to be in school? can
you post his quote?

i have three kids, and i have no idea what’s in their best interests. no clue. because there’s zero consensus.

Yes mixed messages starting at the top. And his need to do what makes him look good hidden in his it's just going to go away.....Go with what your eyes see and common sense dictates

I do not envy any family facing this decision or the logistical nightmare around it yes other countries have opened school but with like almost no new cases some with out issue some with issues

More than 97,000 children tested positive for Covid-19 in the last two weeks of July, report says.


While they may not be being hospitalized that was never the major concern in was spread into homes and staff .. so the fire never goes out it's just on endless loop
