Has anyone else encountered the incel talking point that when the media reports new infection and death toll numbers they are "celebrating" and are just out to get Drumpf and they should stop?

It is pretty fringe but it's out there.

What's super rich about it is I bet a Venn Diagram of people who two weeks ago we're like "This is just like the flu, it's NBD, you bleeding heart liberals needs to knock it off" Kazz Dub style and the people who are making the claims of liberals "celebrating" over the death toll now are nearly identical.

Dear leader getting defensive again, as usual when facts come up he doesn’t like.

Say what you want but Obama never made a functioning test for COVID-19, and that is a FACT that doesn’t give a crap about your feelings.

This "press conference" is something else. He's absolutely melting down over some of the questions. The guy from CNN who pressed him on him not calling Governors who aren't appreciative is my new hero. Of course his White House credential has probably already been yanked.

Brock Landers · « **Reply #2805 on:** March 29, 2020, 06:10:25 PM »

I mean, he denies saying crap and then the reporter reads Trump's own words backs to him and he STILL denies it. Absolutely bonkers.

I’ve stopped watching the pressers. And not because it’s frustrating, just because they’re completely useless information wise.

I stopped watching them too. I just see some of the stuff pop up on twitter. I’m just glad that Dr. Fauci can’t be fired by Trump and is involved. It would be an even more absolute crap show if Dr. Fauci wasn’t involved.

Everybody happy with them extending the nationwide "suggestions" till 4/30? I'm surprised/happy Trump gave in on his Easter date.

Hoping for some big therapeutic news in April.

I wish folks were discussing something along the lines of the plan Scott Gottlieb shared. A strategy with criteria for re-opening regions.

nothing in the national guidelines say regions couldn't open up right? That said, we do need a comprehensive strategy. That's a lot to ask of this administration.

Holy crap, that has to make Italy's death toll like 20% at least.

We definitely don't lead the world in cases but this just sucks. Silver lining is if we keep it to 100k then Trump will claim he did a good job ugh. I saw somewhere tonight that would be 4X the number of lives lost from the Vietnam War. If he wouldn't have been calling it a hoax for so rough ridin' long so many lives and jobs and lives could have been saved this rough ridin' nightmare.

DaBigTrain · « **Reply #2820 on:** March 29, 2020, 10:05:20 PM »

Upon further research we lost 58,220 official lives in the Vietnam War. So almost 2X, but even then that's bad since so many could have been prevented.

i'm becoming a bit of a convert to the idea that one of the cheapest, most impactful interventions we can do to reduce transmission is for everyone to wear masks for a while.

i really would have hoped (and thought) that seattle's transmission would be below 1.0. kinda discouraging, although i don't know how robust those data are.
