Of course his real risk was to his incumbency which he was acutely aware of. From Newsweek: A new report highlights the hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths in the U.S. under former President Donald Trump, noting that some 40 percent of COVID-19 pandemic deaths in 2020 would have been averted if America's mortality rate was equivalent to other wealthy peer nations. The report—published Thursday in one of the world's oldest and best-known medical journals The Lancet—explains that even before the pandemic, the U.S. saw 461,000 unnecessary deaths in 2018 when compared to the death rates in other G7 nations (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom). Comparing the U.S. COVID-19 mortality rate to this peer group, the U.S. would have seen 40 percent fewer deaths in 2020 if its mortality rate was comparable. "The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate effect on the USA, with more than 26 million diagnosed cases and over 450000 deaths as of early February, 2021, about 40% of which could have been averted had the U.S. death rate mirrored the weighted average of the other G7 nations," the report explains. "Many of the cases and deaths were avoidable. Instead of galvanizing the US populace to fight the pandemic, President Trump publicly dismissed its threat (despite privately acknowledging it), discouraged action as infection spread, and eschewed international cooperation," it continues. -- Bozo Binned: Herring, Bert Robbins, JackGoff 452471atgmail.com, Just-AN-Asshole, Tim, AMDX, and Gunboy Alex, aka the Gang of Dull, Witless, Insult-Tossing Trumpsters.

They compared California that is locked down to Florida that is pretty much letn'r rip and California is doing worse per capita in all metrics. (Infections, deaths, hospitalizations etc). I bet we also have more tourist and snowbird influx too. That is pointed out by us being #1 in the UK variant from the limeys who come here to dodge their winter weather and restrictions. The hot spots in the midwest sent their people here along with an unprecedented number of New York/Jersey folks. I have been here 36 years and I have never seen this many NY tags on this coast before. I suspect they came over last year when Broward locked down and decided they liked it here |

Pretty damn clear to me. If Trump said that you'd be calling for his head. Oh wait, you are. :) The difference in how you interpret is called bias. I agree with the double-speak. Fauci was never a "real" doctor that treated patients. After his residency, he went on to research then to heads of departments and being a figurehead. In other words, a politician. Not saying he's not smart, but his smartness has moved from being a scientist to being a "chief" of an organization that is very good at dodging bullets and hanging on to his lucrative political job. |

Great opinion piece if you don't let facts get in the way. The US is #8 behind several European countries, including UK (#3). In regard to the "peer" countries, we have none. There is no comparable country to the US that has a tradition of free travel, a independent citizenry and a very loose border, particularly at our airports. Any effort to clamp down on them creates a tremendous outcry from the public. The idea that you can seal off states is even more ludicrous. For example, there are more roads crossing the Florida border than state cops on any given shift. That doesn't address planes, trains and boats. Quarantine is also totally impractical. More people fly into New York's 4 major airports from abroad in one day than every hotel room in the 5 burroughs and you would have to keep them 2 weeks while the same number of people show up the next day. Then there is the "**** you" attitude Americans have. You can't even say the only offenders are Republicans. Plenty of prominent democrats including Chuck and Nancy have been caught breaking the same rules they say we should be following. |

Guys like Harry apologize for him and use words like "things change" but didn't Fauci anticipate that before he got on TV and said something stupid like "the general population doesn't need a mask", "no wait, you should wear a mask", "no wait wear two". |

Pretty damn clear to me. If Trump said that you'd be calling for his head. Oh wait, you are. :) The difference in how you interpret is called bias. I agree with the double-speak. Fauci was never a "real" doctor that treated patients. After his residency, he went on to research then to heads of departments and being a figurehead. In other words, a politician. Not saying he's not smart, but his smartness has moved from being a scientist to being a "chief" of an organization that is very good at dodging bullets and hanging on to his lucrative political job.

Of course his real risk was to his incumbency which he was acutely aware of. From Newsweek: A new report highlights the hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths in the U.S. under former President Donald Trump, noting that some 40 percent of COVID-19 pandemic deaths in 2020 would have been averted if America's mortality rate was equivalent to other wealthy peer nations. The reportpublished Thursday in one of the world's oldest and best-known medical journals The Lancetexplains that even before the pandemic, the U.S. saw 461,000 unnecessary deaths in 2018 when compared to the death rates in other G7 nations (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom). Comparing the U.S. COVID-19 mortality rate to this peer group, the U.S. would have seen 40 percent fewer deaths in 2020 if its mortality rate was comparable. "The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate effect on the USA, with more than 26 million diagnosed cases and over 450000 deaths as of early February, 2021, about 40% of which could have been averted had the U.S. death rate mirrored the weighted average of the other G7 nations," the report explains. "Many of the cases and deaths were avoidable. Instead of galvanizing the US populace to fight the pandemic, President Trump publicly dismissed its threat (despite privately acknowledging it), discouraged action as infection spread, and eschewed international cooperation," it continues.

The report—published Thursday in one of the world's oldest and best-known medical journals The Lancet—explains that even before the pandemic, the U.S. saw 461,000 unnecessary deaths in 2018 when compared to the death rates in other G7 nations (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom).

I guess a subtle difference is Madoff scammed regular people, thousands of them and Trump just scammed a few banks who should know better. If he is guilty, charge him in court. I am OK with that. It is how the system works but I bet any successful prosecutions will be in civil or tax court, not criminal court. Basically only money. The question is whether he still has the ability to make any. I think he is less than broke but I have felt that way since the 70s when I said my real net worth is probably higher than his and I am just a "multi thousandaire". ;-) It always amazed me people would still lend him money and watch him living large on those loans. At a certain point I just have to tell those venture capitalists "Stupid is as stupid does" and I don't really have that much sympathy for them. They must believe they will get their money back somehow. Carl Ichan has the right idea. Pick up his distressed properties at pennies on the dollar, bust them up and roll them over or develop them as an actual money maker. I still get my check from Carl every quarter. |

Of course his real risk was to his incumbency which he was acutely aware of. From Newsweek: A new report highlights the hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths in the U.S. under former President Donald Trump, noting that some 40 percent of COVID-19 pandemic deaths in 2020 would have been averted if America's mortality rate was equivalent to other wealthy peer nations. The report—published Thursday in one of the world's oldest and best-known medical journals The Lancet—explains that even before the pandemic, the U.S. saw 461,000 unnecessary deaths in 2018 when compared to the death rates in other G7 nations (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom). Comparing the U.S. COVID-19 mortality rate to this peer group, the U.S. would have seen 40 percent fewer deaths in 2020 if its mortality rate was comparable. "The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate effect on the USA, with more than 26 million diagnosed cases and over 450000 deaths as of early February, 2021, about 40% of which could have been averted had the U.S. death rate mirrored the weighted average of the other G7 nations," the report explains. "Many of the cases and deaths were avoidable. Instead of galvanizing the US populace to fight the pandemic, President Trump publicly dismissed its threat (despite privately acknowledging it), discouraged action as infection spread, and eschewed international cooperation," it continues. Here's where we fall. Cherry-picking a few countries would make us look pretty damn good. 'Weighted Average'? Show me. The link: https://www.worldometers.info/corona...=homeAdvegas1? Scroll down and then click on Death/1M pop. When you compare the absolute number of deaths to a country the size of Wyoming with the population of Florida the US looks bad but look at the numbers per 100,000 people https://www.statista.com/statistics/...n-inhabitants/ Still trying to make Trump look better, eh? Don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant. Carry on. BTW NBC Evening News even carried the story that DeSantis is doing better with his "open" Florida policy in Covid numbers than Newsom and his lockdown. They seemed to be confused by it but they did run it. That is in spite of the influx of snowbirds from hot spots all over the north and places like UK. |
