Posting this here too in case other thread goes as well:
Have a look at how its reported world wide.
We would be embarrassed if our leadership was like this. Pay attention to the comments on this article
I think on a regular basis we have either the PM, the Health Minister, the Chief Medical officer, deputy medical officers etc etc, or for that matter any of opposition leadership making announcements that all come across as reporting just o the facts, and believable.
You have a bloke just interested in his image and re- election, bringing out 'he said, she said videos' that belong at primary school

What actually happened is that Trump didn’t have the guts to fire “Fraudci“- what does that say about Trump?
Time for you to get onboard and back Fauci now.

Trump apparently said this today:
"When somebody is president of the United States, your authority is total," he said.
If he gets called out on this by Schumer, Pelosi or any Dem, he'll dismiss it as whiny politics. And a lot of people will accept that.
If the media criticizes him for it, it's just the lame mainstream media that's always trying to knock him down.
So, which Republican has the backbone and character to call Trump out on this. To tell him, directly and publicly, that there's this thing called the Constitution, that gives power to 3 different branches of government. That there's checks and balances. That over 200 years ago, we fought a war to get rid of totalitarian government, and we ain't going back. The Republicans like to claim they're patriots, they throw that word around like it's rice at a wedding. Well, here's your chance to show a little patriotism. Stand up for America and tell him that he needs to brush up on Civics 101, because he's pretty clueless about how we roll here in the good old USA.
This is just another reason that shows that Trump is not a conservative. A long conservative mantra (that I have always agreed with by the way) is "Power to the states". This gives us more freedom. If there is a state that behaves as you prefer, you can always move there, or just move away from one you don't like. The total authority comment is crap...not based in anything real. Trump hasn't closed anything down anyway...that's all been the states that have done that. The incompetence he has is at an insane level.

I think hell is really about to freeze over, I actually agree with Flagpole on something!

To be fair, as I always am, Fauci initially answered a question basically about whether it would have been better if the US had acted earlier. He answered, "yes." He didn't blame Trump or the administration there. Hindsight is 20/20, so the answer of course is "yes." Trump, of course was a big baby and retweeted that #firefauci or whatever it was, but Fauci didn't throw Trump under the bus as some have suggested.

Well, that just means you are finally right about something.

To be fair you didn’t read the article I posted.
Contained in that article are direct quotes from Dr Fauci. He did NOT merely answer yes to a question.
Read his quotes and stop being lazy.

No, they don't. Leaders make great decisions. The crowd will go along with it. But they also going along with complete morons.
So you believe dictatorship is better than democracy?
That is not the point I am making. There is no inherent wisdom in a majority. Wisdom is an individual trait. That has nothing to do with whether a democracy is preferable to a dictatorship - it is - although what distinguishes the former from the latter is the protection of individual freedoms in a democracy and the reliance on individuals who can exercise those freedoms.
But if people have poor leaders, and they choose to follow those leaders, we see there is clearly no "wisdom" in that majority. And that is the gerrymandered state of affairs we have today.

You misunderstood something that I wrote. I was not saying that the US was nowhere near its peak daily death toll - I would have used the qualifier "daily" if I had meant that; I didn't. I was referring to the total death toll. You are arguing against something I didn't say.
Your last point, when you say the mathematician is safer because everyone else is staying home, and not because he is, also shows that you didn't understand what I was saying, which is that social distancing is the only thing that is giving anyone a measure of safety in this pandemic. It is key to the whole thing.
I know that you are embarrassed because the numbers are proving once again that I am right and you are wrong. No worries.
But claiming that you were referring to the peaktotal death toll is really a ridiculous thing to try to retreat to. There is no such thing as a peak total unless you are referring to the very last death from COVID-19 (which could easily be hundreds of years from now). That was really a pathetic attempt to back out of your claim. Try not to say something so ridiculous next time you want to back away from your obvious error about the peak.
I am retreating from nothing. Since you are a little slow I will try to make it clearer for you. We are in the early stages of a pandemic. A medical expert today has likened it to being at the 2nd hole in a round of golf. So my point was that we are far from seeing the outcome of this pandemic, and the outcome - yes, "the toll" - has been the subject of the varied official estimates of what that likely figure will be. That is the toll I was referring to. I realise English is not the strong point of a glorified bean-counter like yourself, but I did not refer to a "daily" toll, as much as you are fixated on that measure - I would have used that simple but crucially distinct term if I had. If you can't find that I didn't used that word then I didn't use it and so the "daily" toll is not what I meant- as much as you contrive to find a different meaning in what wasn't there.
