Well they do control which numbers get reported and discussed

I would assume by this point every state is reporting on a site similar to Louisiana's DH dashboard. I go check the number every couple of days on that site and a national one, you don't need the MSM to see the numbers and draw your own conclusions.

With the information so widely available if you're being persuaded into a certain train of thought because of the conversation and reporting in MSM then that's on you. That person was probably never going to think on their own anyway

Hopefully we are starting to see the effects of the stay at home order and deaths will continue to be relatively low while lagging those low new hospitalization and ventilator numbers


Also appears that physicians are developing better and better protocols for treatment as they begin to understand this disease process.

Thread about Covid results and less than 4 posts in it becomes Trump bashing time.

Good job guys.


TDS is real. They can't help themselves. Trump could cure the Wuhan Flu tomorrow and they would want him InPeachMint for taking too long.

Why would they? All he does is interrupt reporters and belittle them like a man child. Dude is completely unprofessional.


"Reporters"

They are so clearly only going for gotcha questions and trying to create controversy. I'm not saying journalism is dead in general,but in that room, most of the journalists are just opposition to Trump.

Take Jim Acosta as an example.

Even the head of the White House Press Corp thinks he is giving them all a bad name.

There have been multiple articles written recently about how unprofessional the press corp has been.

Praying for less hospitalizations and vents as well as deaths -- however I think that deaths will rise "some".

April 9-12. That's when we should see a flattening.

That's what the OP is getting at, we may be a little ahead of the projections and based on the results today may have already started flattening that curve.

touting an unproven drug that hasn't been thoroughly tested


If it was your family member that possibly could benefit from teh drug, would you or would you not want it tried? We know they're safe -- I would be raising hell to get it to my family member.

They need to make sure they have a trended graph using TESTED DATE and not RESULTS RETURNED DATE.


How hard would this be to do had they done it this way from the start? I'm so not a numbers/table person but would it require a ton of work?

So because someone bashed the media, it thne becomes acceptable to bash the president of the United States?

What kind of ticky-tack TDS bullshite is this? You equate bashing the media (and rightly so) with bashing the president

Let that sink in, and try to convince yourself you don't have a problem

Blatant dishonesty, touting an unproven drug that hasn't been thoroughly tested
This is where some of the blatant dishonesty arises.

That drug has been thoroughly tested, side effects profiles determined and recorded, and safe dose ranged determined.

It is an old arse drug.

Simply because the reports of it working haven’t been thoroughly vetted, you act as if he is a snake oil salesman.

You and the media, you so thoroughly support (mainly because they hold the same general political opinions as you do), act as if this is the most unsafe medicine known to man and it is a poison.

The only thing that Trump has ever said about it is that it may work or it may not and he feels good about it.

Trying to give people hope seems to be an issue with all of you, as we saw via Acosta’s most recent childish question “how can you give people hope right now”.

Hell, y’all went so far as to even try to blame two individuals who drank fish parasite cleaner on him by calling it hydroxychloroquine.

It is sad.

And I think Trump has done a poor job with all this too ever since he backed away from his “reopening America” stance.

the right blames the media/democrats for everything and the left blames Trump for everything

Huh? I simply pointed out the thread turned into a media bashing thread before it did a Trump bashing one. I think they're both worthy of criticism.

And then you went full TDS with the rest of your posts. Pretend to be reasonable all you want, you aren't fooling anyone.
