Could it possibly be just another way to jump on Trump? The overall burden of influenza for the 2017-2018 season was an estimated 45 million influenza illnesses, 21 million influenza-associated medical visits, 810,000 influenza-related hospitalizations, and 61,000 influenza-associated deaths. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2017-2018.htm Notice, 61,000 influenza-associated deaths. And yet almost nothing was ever mentioned about it. Weird. -- Freedom Isn't Free! https://funkyimg.com/i/32RzW.jpg The NBC news was downright schizophrenic tonight. They jumped back and forth between "scare you to death" stories and the guy in Illinois who was an old fat guy saying "it was no worse than having the flu for me. I just had some minor upper respiratory problems". Then they went back to scary. Then they beat up Trump for saying pretty much what they admitted was true (80% get better with minimal treatment) He said "some of them go to work" and he got beat up by that but it is still a fact. He didn't say they should go to work but I suppose he recognizes the reality that a lot of people don't get paid if they don't show up. Then their in house quack Dr. John Torres came on and said "we have been hearing about the 1000s of people self quarantined but most of that is unnecessary". They were snapping back and forth so much I got neck strain. Then they switched to Schumer saying "in no way was I making a threat a threat". Then they played the clip. It sure sounded like a threat to me. Bear in mind, he said this on the steps of the court. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/schumer%20threat%20SCOTUS.mp3 Trump was simply saying that some people may go to work *not knowing* that they carried the coronvirus because they had no or minimal symptoms. The left twists that into "Trump says you can go to work with the virus". Another apology for Trump. Priceless. Not an apology .... simply the truth. Spinmeisters like you just can't handle the truth. You think the media is overcompensating to make up for the bull**** Trump is spewing? I think you swallow hook, line and sinker the bull**** the lefty media and your party members are spewing. Actually, no...I read or see Trump's comments corona and watch the hole he is digging for himself. He comes across like the ignorant moron he is. If he took advice and had someone to advise him, the advice would be to STOP talking about corona virus and let a scientist-doctor spokesperson, not Pence, do the briefings. You read his comments from a biased source. Who most likely cut and paste like you do. Leave out a few words. No, Bilious...I see Trump speaking the words or I read transcripts.

Problem is your reader works fine but your comprehender doesn't
function normally.

Funny. He used to say that he didn't watch Trump on TV or listen to his speeches. Now he watches or reads the transcripts.

Uh-huh.
