In the next 1-2 days, we will reach this milestone. From a virus that the President of the United States assured us was not real, maybe would die out before it could become anything, certainly would die out when the weather turned hot, assuredly will die out when the weather gets cold, 'is what it is', you can counteract if you ingest bleach, turned over fighting it to the states, hopes we can find a vaccine so he can get re-elected, does not believe his own scientists recommendation on fighting it... these tRumpisms could go on forever. If ANYTHING points to not deserving to be re-elected, his total lack of a plan to stop and counteract this pandemic screams ineptness. 200,000 dead and counting. What will the number be by election day?
200,000 dead Americans.

No not really it's just being reported that we have reached this milestone. No way to know if it is true or not
This is three Vietnam Wars worth of dead Americans with six 9/11s piled on top.
I remember some projections of around 500k at the outset by a few respected virologists. Doesn't seem too far off.
Million dollar question is how quickly we'll develop a vaccine. If soon, we'll look pretty bad.
One more observation:
How much does 200k dead matter from a virus in a country of 350 million? At the end of the day, maybe our populous just doesn't care that much.
I don't think there is a right or wrong on this sort of thing, moreso reaching a somewhat reasonable consensus. If we're all a bunch of libertarian extremists and just don't care too much about the deaths, then that's what we are.

He doesn’t care and he’s incapable of putting a coherent plan together.
This page has turned into old people and Facebook
And yet I bet you don't care a bit about the 600,00 abortions this president tried to stop in the last twelve months!
By donating to indigent mothers and charities that provide employment and services to new mothers?
jk
So far in this thread, cons have blamed Dr. Fauci, questioned the significance of 200k dead Americans, and brought up abortions. LMAO. Looking forward to more gems.
You're gettin' all dramatic over a mere 50,000 Benghazis, bro....
Ah, yes. We clearly don't know any new information on this virus since January.... 👀
I don’t believe a single number reported
LOFL. You trumpers are a special kind of stupid.
What number do you think he was going for? 600,000 or 60,000?
How many would be dead right now if Hillary was President and she did absolutely everything right?
Not 200,000 dead and rising I'd venture to guess. tRump is a special kind of incompetent. But great reasoning there... trying to somehow conjure up the ghost of HC to reason away his incompetence.
Just throw out a realistic number for the sake of discussion.
I don’t think Trump gives one single fvck about anyone but himself. I find it hilarious that his followers think any differently.
A lot of that was to save the PPE for the medical community. But you already knew that.
Do either of you think Trump could or should have done anything differently?
It is always easy to speculate after the fact, but there has been a lot of criticism of how Trump has handled this pandemic for months now. He was still criticizing Governor Cooper at the RNC for not letting him have a full convention in Charlotte even after Jacksonville pulled out later. It is impossible to know how things could have been if someone else was in charge, but it is fair to question the person in charge. The great philosopher Donald Trump taught us that when Obama was in Office.
Is that a vote for there is nothing that Trump should have done differently? I did not ask if someone else would have done a better job.
Masks, hmmph!
In all the history of respiratory-borne viruses of any type, asymptomatic transmission has NEVER been the driver of outbreaks.
The driver of outbreaks is ALWAYS a symptomatic person.
Those are the facts as we know them

I'm sure they appreciated the push. Going into the deep end for the first time is often scary.
You likely hang on every word from Trump so I can clearly understand how you don't know truth from falsehoods... very little he says can be traced back to truth.
Thanks for the graph, h-hawk. Every time I see a similar one it triggers multiple emotions. Sadness, disgust, anger, despair, grief, etc...
Thanks Trump!
