Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

That wasn't a mistake.

He has gotten the entire Republican Party in a herd mentality to applaud everything he does.

He wants to expand that herd mentality.

Joking I see, but it clearly was a mistake. He was talking about COVID-19 and should have said "Herd Immunity".

Nope.

Herd Immunity is old news. That election play (ploy) failed.

Herd Mentality is what Trump always meant. It describes his flock of followers to a tee. . . . Sheep. . . . Lemmings. . . . He needs then to march off a cliff and take as many democrats with them as possible.

Save the economy. Help poor Trump win the election so he can stay out of jail.

Trump could care less if several million Americans die.

Getting reelected is so much more important than that.

So this is super-preliminary, but there is a tiny indication of an upward surge in cases nationwide.

According to Worldometer, here is the 7 day average for the last two days:

Sept. 12: 35,206

Sept. 13: 35,332

Sept. 14: 37,142

That's a jump in the average of almost 2000 cases in only two days. Remember, that's a jump in the AVERAGE.

Again, it's very preliminary, but we haven't yet seen a jump that high and quick unless we were in a long surge. It's definitely not what we want to see going into the winter.

Sept. 15: 38,286

That's a jump of 3000 cases in the 7 day average over just three days. Again, it's early but this has only happened when we are in a surge.

Flu season is up and running. You can expect a tripling of case before the end of the year. With death numbers higher than triple because immune systems are busy doing other work during cold weather. Immune systems will be overtaxed.

I think fewer people will get the flu this season with the social distancing and mask wearing in place to slow covid spread.

People see someone coughing and sniffling these days, they will really stand back - even anti-maskers.

It's the asymptomatic spread of covid that remains a big issue.

Flu season is a lot more than just about the flu. A better name for it is winter illness season.

Winter illness season is a season when immune systems work overtime, not only because viruses are more active in cooler weather, but because they way today's workplaces are designed. Enclosed spaces with mechanically conditioned air that gets breathed and and most of the air gets reused/recycled to be breathed once again (viruses get return to get a chance to infect people multiple times). There are some way to mitigate and reduce the spread of viruses but the Trump Admin won't let anyone mention that because Trump's Gut Feel tells him he doesn't care if more people die.

An idiot or mental decline? Either way, not good enough.

Dan it's perfectly obvious that Trump's main qualification is that he owns the libs.

You don't really have to go any further than that, for 70% of spanky's support.

Not really, but even if it were so, you should ask yourself why that seems to be sufficient enough for a significant portion of the US population for qualification of a US president.

It's been said many times before - Trump is a symptom.

Actually I don't disagree with either of these posts and I don't see them as mutually exclusive. But I don't think that trump supporters have really accepted the idea that Trump really doesn't care about their well being. In fact he often works against it. They like thinking they are part of the Trump team defeating the enemy liberals who they might feel are morally self righteous, who look down on them and will give away the store. Their posts and banners (vote Trump & make a liberal cry in November) are pretty evident of these.

But yes Trump is a symptom. Many of us (not the majority) were looking for a trump and we found one that gave us what we wanted. And those people love Trump. I look at Trump's relation to this country and his selection as president as reflective of a weakness of our country. We were vulnerable to a Trump, similar to a body in a weakened state that succumbs to a virus. The virus first takes over weaker body cells and can progress and start taking over healthy cells.

I think we need a very strong antibiotic. I hope we get one in November

Yep he’s an untreated symptom that turned into a full-blown terminal illness. That is great - indeed indeed Sally and Biff are the weak body cells of America.

I hear your brother. But like I said she does not feel as if her life has changed with materially since 2016. She has the same job, same friends, same hobbies. She comes across some political headlines once in a while but mostly dismissed them unless they are funny. She’s the typical citizen who spends their free time enjoying whatever freedoms they think they have instead of worrying about keeping those freedoms or improving their environment. In other words, she’s a typical American consumer. If he shot someone on 5th Avenue it probably wouldn’t make any difference to her, but maybe if he crashed his car into her house that would do it.

Flu season was very mild in the Southern hemisphere during their winter...raising hopes that social distancing, washing hands and masks will do the same thing in the Northern hemisphere.

""Now we are well advanced during the flu season in the south, and we have not seen any spike, any upsurge of flu," Aldighieri says.

Flu hasn't totally disappeared, but it's way down. For example, he says, consider 3,391 clinical samples that were taken from patients with an acute respiratory illness during a three-week period in the middle of winter in Chile. "Zero were positive for influenza," Aldighieri says, explaining that he'd normally expect to see hundreds test positive for flu.

Chile isn't alone. Other countries are having a similar experience. "Based on what we've seen in the Southern Hemisphere, and I would say this is true of all through the Southern Hemisphere — South America, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, all across this region — there's been very little influenza activity," Subbarao says."

worldometers has a new-ish 7 day average feature - you can see clearly that for a few days cases and deaths have been rising in the US.

Could be a remnant of labor day - we'll see.

Did you have a point?

Chile has absolutely nothing to do with what is coming to the U.S. That is unless you believe the Chile is a copy of the U.S. in terms of lifestyle and how work spaces operate.

Did you know: Influenza is NOT the only virus? Here is something to help you out.

True, it's important to consider the degree to which a country's citizens take to heart basic precautions such as wearing a mask and washing their hands.

you think it's uninteresting that flu season was weak in perhaps the very hardest hit region on the planet? Not worth mentioning?

that's what you are going with?

ok. noted.

The hardest hit region on the planet is the U.S. Not Chile.

Chile: 300k cases on July 7th. 400k cases August 24th. (Flu season there, brah )

USA: 3100k cases on July 7th. 5900k cases August 24th. (Not flu season here, brah)

The USA COVID cased grew at 28x the rate of Chile during Chile's flu season.

The USA has 17x the population of Chile.

Which country was harder hit?

Which country should have seen lower increases due the warmer seasonal weather?

So you are going with is your blindness. Duly noted. Don't be so blind.

The entire point being -- lost on you -- is when "viruses" are more active. Winter. Flu is only one of the viruses, but you chose not to see that.

COVID cases in the U.S. will skyrocket.

"Flu" season in the U.S. starts on October 1st.

did you read my cut and paste quote? Clearly not. I'll repost it for you. It's not just chile. It's all of south america, and other southern hemisphere nations.

"Chile isn't alone. Other countries are having a similar experience. "Based on what we've seen in the Southern Hemisphere, and I would say this is true of all through the Southern Hemisphere — South America, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, all across this region — there's been very little influenza activity," Subbarao says.""

and if you aren't aware that South America has been the hardest-hit region in terms of covid deaths over the June-September period, you haven't been looking at the numbers.

–– Chile. You extrapolated to everywhere in a continent. But the rate of case increase per population is the same. The U.S. during non-flu season beat the increase rate of countries during their on-flu seasons.

28x > 17x because you cannot do the math.

now do deaths per capita.

obvi rich countries like the US can test a lot more than poorer countries so case counts aren't apples to apples USA-South America.

Dementia Joe is not even hiding the fact that the questions are scripted. ?????

"Come on, man!"
