A virus with a 99.9 percent survival rate but we are forced by the government to wear a mask in public, such bullshit. I do but I hate them, it?s hot enough here add that thing you can?t breathe, I think it?s over blown and political. The only reason it?s so bad is democrats want the power back by any means necessary.
IT'S ALL UNDER CONTROL
- Thread starter Old School
- Start date
The Republicans have control of the WH, the Senate, and the majority of the governor mansions. This is what you get with Republican "small government", you get NO GOVERNMENT. They don't want progress and they tell you they want to shrink the government. Get these worthless fuckers out of the way.
We're 5 MONTHS into this and the Republican led Federal Government has NO PLAN. NO PLAN!!!! If you vote for more Trump and Republican Senators, you need to get your head checked.

Trump tweets photo of himself wearing a mask

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/508171-trump-tweets-photo-of-himself-wearing-a-mask
President Trump on Monday tweeted for the first time a photograph of himself wearing a mask and described the practice as a patriotic act amid the coronavirus pandemic.
?We are United in our effort to defeat the Invisible China Virus, and many people say that it is Patriotic to wear a face mask when you can?t socially distance,? Trump tweeted Monday afternoon, referring to the coronavirus, which the president regularly points out originated in Wuhan, China.
?There is nobody more Patriotic than me, your favorite President!? he added.
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
We are United in our effort to defeat the Invisible China Virus, and many people say that it is Patriotic to wear a face mask when you can?t socially distance. There is nobody more Patriotic than me, your favorite President!
The tweet represented perhaps Trump?s most explicit endorsement of the use of masks yet and marks a shift for the president from earlier during the pandemic. Trump for months resisted wearing a mask in public before donning one during a trip to Walter Reed less than two weeks ago. The picture tweeted by the president on Monday was taken during that trip and shows Trump wearing a mask decorated with a presidential seal.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in April recommended Americans wear a face covering in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. But the debate over wearing a mask and whether governments should mandate that Americans do so has been marred by partisanship.
That's begun to change in recent weeks, however. While some Republicans have continued to refuse to wear masks, others have appeared in public wearing face coverings and urge others to do the same, including first lady Melania Trump and Vice President Pence. Other Republicans and conservative media personalities have also promoted the use of masks in recent weeks, and some explicitly urged Trump to wear one in order to set an example.
A number of governors ? including a growing list of GOP state leaders ? have mandated the use of masks in public places in order to address recent surges in coronavirus cases, though some like Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) have opposed mask orders and gone as far as prohibiting cities from imposing their own.
Trump told Fox News?s Chris Wallace that he would not issue a national mandate requiring Americans to wear face coverings.
?I want people to have a certain freedom and I don?t believe in that, no,? Trump said in an interview that aired on ?Fox News Sunday.?
The president also continued to downplay the threat from the virus in the interview.
Trump is facing growing public disapproval over his handling of the coronavirus, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 140,000 people in the U.S. A Washington Post-ABC News poll released last week found that 60 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump?s handling of the pandemic.
Monday?s tweet came hours after Trump suggested he would shift his messaging strategy and return to giving regular coronavirus briefings, which the White House jettisoned at the end of April after the president made controversial comments about the possible use of disinfectant to treat COVID-19.

U.S. records over 1,000 coronavirus deaths in a single day for first time since early June
By Lisa Shumaker 39 mins ago
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...for-first-time-since-early-june-idUSKCN24M32X
(Reuters) - U.S. deaths from the novel coronavirus rose by more than 1,000 on Tuesday, the biggest single-day increase since early June, according to a Reuters tally.
After weeks of declining fatalities, there were more than 5,200 U.S. COVID-19 deaths in the week ended July 19, up 5% from the previous seven days, a Reuters analysis found. That was the second successive week of rising deaths.
Nearly 142,000 Americans have died from COVID-19, a toll that experts warn will likely surge following recent record spikes in case numbers and an alarming rise in hospitalizations in many states.
U.S. deaths peaked in April, when the country lost on average 2,000 people a day. Fatalities had steadily fallen, averaging 1,300 a day in May and under 800 a day in June, according to a Reuters tally.
But after many states reopened without achieving benchmarks for doing so safety, such as two weeks of declining cases, deaths are rising again in 21 states, including Arizona, Florida and Texas, based increases in the last two weeks compared with the prior two.
While some of the increase in new cases can be attributed to more testing, hospitalizations, which are not tied to testing numbers, began to surge in late June as well.
So far in July, 17 states have reported record numbers of currently hospitalized COVID-19 patients with nine states announcing new highs on Tuesday, including Alabama, Texas and California.
In Florida, about four dozen hospitals on any given day report that their (ICUs) have reached full capacity.

This month, Stephen Miller, the extremist anti-immigrant Trump adviser who has promoted white nationalist ideas, lost a relative to the coronavirus pandemic, and his uncle tells Mother Jones that the Trump administration is partly to blame for this death.
On July 4, David Glosser, the brother of Miller?s mother, posted a Facebook note announcing the death of his mother, Ruth Glosser, who was Miller?s maternal grandmother:
This morning my mother, Ruth Glosser, died of the late effects of COVID-19 like so many thousands of other people; both young and old. She survived the acute infection but was left with lung and neurological damage that destroyed her will to eat and her ability to breathe well enough to sustain arousal and consciousness. Over an 8-week period she gradually slipped away and died peacefully this morning.
David Glosser is a retired neuropsychologist and passionate Trump critic who has publicly decried Miller for his anti-immigrant policies, and he contends that Trump?s initial ?lack of a response? to the coronavirus crisis led to the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans who might have otherwise survived. In an interview, he says, ?With the death of my mother, I?m angry and outraged at [Miller] directly and the administration he has devoted his energy to supporting.?
In response to a request seeking comment from Miller, a White House spokesperson sent Mother Jones this statement:
This is categorically false, and a disgusting use of so-called journalism when the family deserves privacy to mourn the loss of a loved one. His grandmother did not pass away from COVID. She was diagnosed with COVID in March and passed away in July so that timeline does not add up at all. His grandmother died peacefully in her sleep from old age. I would hope that you would choose not to go down this road.
Glosser, a former health professional, posted his mother?s death announcement on a public Facebook page. Responding to the White House statement, he writes in an email, ?Keeping the tragic facts about COVID deaths of our countrymen and women, young and old, from the American public serves no purpose other than to obscure the need for a coherent national, scientifically based, public health response to save others from this disease. My mother led a long, satisfying, productive life of family and community service. She had nothing to be ashamed of, and concealing her cause of death to offer ?privacy? to me, our family, her hundreds of relatives and friends, does nothing to assuage our regret at her loss.?
Moreover, Ruth Glosser?s death certificate?which her son shared with Mother Jones?lists her cause of death as ?respiratory arrest? resulting from ?COVID-19.?
Miller has played a role in the Trump White House?s ineffectual response to the coronavirus crisis. He was credited with helping to write the Oval Office address Trump delivered on March 11 that was widely panned. In that speech, Trump branded the coronavirus as the ?foreign virus? and downplayed the damage already caused by it. He hailed his administration?s actions regarding the growing pandemic, ignoring his recent and repeated efforts to dismiss the threat posed by the virus. Trump announced in this speech that he would suspend all travel from Europe to the United States?a statement that caused panic, as Americans overseas rushed back to the United States and ended up in crammed and unsafe conditions at US airports. (The ban only applied to foreign citizens.) In the months since, Miller has attempted to exploit the pandemic to implement anti-immigration measures.

The novel coronavirus pandemic has now killed more than 655,000 people worldwide.
Over 16.5 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new respiratory virus, according to data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The actual numbers are believed to be much higher due to testing shortages, many unreported cases and suspicions that some governments are hiding or downplaying the scope of their nations' outbreaks.
The United States has become the worst-affected country, with more than 4.3 million diagnosed cases and at least 148,298 deaths.
