Link where I said I thought the "virus was over"? I'm not sure why you were taking shit to me in the first place honestly. It's definitely not as bad in America as many feared. I've never said anything about the rest of the world.
But hey! If you want to challenge someone on the front lines who has actually seen what is going on with your "knowledge" by all means...
Just know that the media lies are very apparent if only America could see it first hand. Pretty eye opening to me.
Oh i'm sorry I thought he had total authority. Forgot to fact check my source, didn't think I would have to since it's the president.***
You're the one attacking me for a back of the envelope super early prediction that with stats that you were touting would end up being close to right. I'm just confused why.
And for the record I asked you why you are talking like it is. I never said you said the virus is over. And there was nothing about the rest of the world. 2k people die everyday in the UNITED STATES.
I'm not challenging you... you're challenging me.
Sorry didn't add my non-snarky reply to this.
If we would have had a unified front and been able to contain this from state to state at the beginning of march like we were with the shutdowns, many states like Mississippi would have already been fully reopened before April started. New York and a couple others would still be ****ed but as a group we would not be going through it.

Only watch about the first minute or so. The CNN commentary as always is outlandish. This is nowhere near trump's biggest melt
I disagree but to each their own and I feel like the main point is that if he would have treated this not as the liberals new hoax and would have been two more weeks in front of it then we would be infinitely better off. In the scheme of what he's ****ed up on this, his lateness in accepting this virus's reality isn't highest on the list.
It's not a straw man if YOU are the ones putting words into my mouth. Maybe that's why you get so many "ad hominem" attacks. The exact quote was "I'm not sure why you are patting yourself on the back when he was wrong."
I don't think it's over nor did I ever say it was. YOU'RE the one that said that not me. I said your to clarify what I meant projected death totals were off and I'm not sure why you were patting yourself on that back about that.
But carry on with whatever wrong bullshit you're going to post next but leave me out of it and don't tell me what I'm thinking to try to deflect and make yourself look better. Just say I misunderstood and move on.
I NEVER SAID YOU SAID IT WAS. I SAID YOU WERE TALKING LIKE IT WAS OVER. I DID NOT SAY YOU SAID IT WAS OVER. Jesus I don't get why people have to try to be right in every ****ing conversation and just double down when they are wrong. *******.
It's a straw man. You created a false argument (me saying you said it's over) and attacked it.
Saying a total prediction is wrong when this isn't over implies that you are talking like it is over. This isn't hard Todd, you're smarter than this. Stop doubling down on me being the boogeyman. I swear if I said the sky was blue someone of you would argue it.
That's fine, but what through me off was the "unilateral decision" comment. He couldn't do that if he wanted to. If you are upset about a delay in a state shutting down, that anger should be directed at that state's governor, not the President. Trumps tune became more serious long before individual states began making the decision to shut down.
Well this was in response to what trump specifically did wrong. Not getting into specific governors but trust me the one in my state is getting raked over the coals for his response too. Also Trump's tune was not serious long before. It was the same week as most states that he flipped.
With the unilateral comment I should have thrown some sarcasterisks in there initially. If you watched the video I linked in another comment you'd have context for that.
I just don't like it when people put words in my mouth and tell ME what I'm thinking.
And since you think you know everything tell me what I'm thinking right now?
If I said the sky was blue you would tell me I was talking like I said it was purple. And then tell me it was strawman AFTER I told you my intent and then insisted that wasn't my real intent.
Not sure how you can say it's not as bad as predicted when we are sitting at 41k dead and no one has reopened yet. What someone may be seeing in their area on the "front lines" doesn't paint this picture accurately. I'd guess 90% of hospitals in this country are running less than average occupancy essentially by design right now. So if you're in a hospital chances are you're not "feeling" the hype.
It's not as bad because the initial predictions by Dr. Fauci were much much higher. One big reason why the hospitals are running at a lower capacity in general is because they were all trying to prepare for the worst.
And now we're starting to talk about re-opening states in phases.
