Trump extends social distancing to April 30, says 100 to 200k deaths in US means they did a good job

How many people or what percent of people went bankrupt from their hospital or health care bills in the last 5 years? If our first responders do not have proper PPE maybe they should of bought some from their overpriced services.

Exactly, because these overpried services go directly to the first responders wages.

They are almost as well payed as their hospital CEOs.

Why are you all so oppressed with trump?

Because he is oppressive.

The problem in the first few weeks was the media were quoting mathematicians instead of epidemiologists.

"To WIN a war, you have to BE a war."

- D. Trump (America) -

Not oppressed or claiming to be but I think America’s first responders should be properly equipped on the front lines.

In that regards the administration has had some failings and naturally the buck stops at Trump, even if he doesn’t like it.

Define properly equipped.

Regardless, healthcare is the province of state and local governments. Go harp on them for a change.

Considering where we started this is probably, sadly, true. We got caught with our pants down on this thing. No one ever imagined this would of even could happen. Humbling to say the least and tragic.

Anybody still following Trump is just a cow being led to slaughter by a nose ring that is being tugged by him and that shill of a propaganda machine fox news. He doesnt care if americans die only the resulting downturn in the economy that will affect his bottom line and his chances to be reelected. That cuckhold bows and appeases Putin while saying we shoulndt be allies with germany now because we fought them in WW2, withholding medical supplies to certain states because their governors are being "nasty" to him. Deplorable wasnt and isnt a strong enough word to describe Trump and his supporters. Go crawl back into your holes you disgusting pieces of trash.

I hear Kim jong-un is pretty great, maybe you should try North Korea since your so hung up on the president. I didn’t vote for trump but all these people blaming the president like he’s so powerful (a leader of a democratic nation that people think is so weak, not a dictator) and controls so much of their lives, actually make me want to support him. He must be doing something right if the liberal socialist that could ruin America don’t like him.

Why don’t you have another shot at that rg2 and see if comes out better next time round.

A for effort.

haha, talk about creating highly moveable goalposts...

He'll never need to move them. What he's doing is setting the bar as low as he can. He could have said 500,000 would be good, considering how many people thought millions was realistic.

Most hard hit countries in Europe have already peaked, and the US is starting to peak. There won't likely be 100k deaths in the whole world, unless it makes a big comeback in the fall.

Trump said the administration is working to keep the projected death toll below 100,000.

"So if we can hold that down, as we're saying, to 100,000, it's a horrible number, maybe even less, but to 100,000, so we have between 100 and 200,000, we all together have done a very good job," Trump said.

Include only folks under age 80 and with no other deadly conditions, and no more than 20,000 Americans died from this "pandemic".

HAHAHAHAHA

Boy Bad Wigins is stupid.

I believe Bad W was going to go away forever if wrong, something like that.

Now, we've all been wrong, but this is something else, isn't it?
