How are people suffering from Covid-19 in your place?

This is the reason I said the protection should have been focused on people with poor health condition. Many elderly are in very good shape, in many cases with better health than lots of young people.
and how do you propose to do that?
hate to say it but what you are suggesting is impossible with out huge restrictions on the whole community...
btw the mutations are impacting more so on healthy people than before...and you must consider that even if a mild case is involved ( most often with young people) long lasting problems persist.
Do the research.

But, after weeks it is found the virus was not lethal as it was predicted.
best most advanced society in the world with the best scientific medical system
over half a million dead ...

do you have any links you can post showing trumps orders to lock anything down ?
the only orders i recall is him ordering the media that it is all up to the state governors & that he is "incapable" and "it is not his job"
to do anything
he then made threats to "step in"
he then asked the citizens to rise up and demand the governors take control of their own states.

the message i read clearly from his media comments was
"the state authorities are playing games instead of doing their job"

which states did the worst ?[the fat lady has not started to warm up for the 1st act yet]

I love Australia too... lol
I worked at the 4 seasons hotel Yulara resort, Uluru for just on 9 months as a purchaser (1990/91). I have visited the area from Melbourne, on 4 separate occasions and find the place and local indigenous peoples fascinating..
reminder:
View attachment 3963

you probably know more about the art work than most Australians.(including local Indigenous).. lol

You'll never know.

Keep underestimating others, the one who laughs last.. laughs better.

ah but you are mistaken, the outcome is quite well understood. A person who is free to travel any where is infected unknowingly and has approximately 4 days to spread the good news.
Going on to further infect others who are also free to travel and interact with potential vectors and also do so unknowingly. By the time the 4 days are up before the alarm is raised thousands could be infected and also free to travel were ever they like. Add in a 14 day incubation period and you have pandemic on your hands...

By the time Trump acted and closed the border to Chinese travelers the USA was already carrying a heavy viral load.
The USA continued to import the virus from Spain, Italy , France and most of Europe as they were also carrying a viral load and were in a state of emergency.
But of course Trump had refused to take the advice of medical experts and was not intelligent enough to realise that closing the border to China only, was an excercise in futility. He really needed to do a lot better....
Mind you in all fairness many world leaders ignored the obvious as well,,, Boris Johnston of the UK was one of them....and take a look at what has happened there...

You are not giving the chronology, and so far, as an example, the virus was detected in France in the month of March 2020. Samples taken in that month showed the presence of the virus, that the virus was there long before that date, but no one knew. about it.

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/04/coronavirus-found-paris-sewage-points-early-warning-system

The closing of entrance to people from China was because it was known with certainty that the infection over there was in progress as a pandemic, not so as sporadic victims one here and another somewhere. Apparently, even when president Trump is not in charge today, you still propagating fake news... some people never learn... sigh*

Also, remember the reaction of Democrats and fanatics against president Trump because the closing of entrance to Chinese people, and it should be greater if the closing of entrance to the US was to include other countries. The whole media except Fox News was against president Trump, you can't deny this fact.

Trumps inaction and stubborn stupidity cost how many of the 500,000 lives 12 month later?

You don't make estimates about deaths that way. You are a complete ignorant of the method used, which is checking the number of death in proportion with the total population of the country. You must compare your half million of deaths (an inflated number given by you) against the total population number of 330 million.

Such is the method to check the gravity of the pandemic consequences. When you do so, the US seats on a standard position when compared to other countries with less populations and less deaths because the pandemic.

Ask any of the 500,000 that died as a result of his poor leadership and then go on to ask any of the next 500,000.

Those deaths were because poor health condition, do not blame the president if people don't take care of their health. So far, healthy people survived to the virus and millions and millions didn't even feel any symptoms.

The president himself got the virus and was fine, same with me and many of my family, just lower level symptoms.

You see, the cumulative effect is that the USA is going to be crippled by this virus for the foreseeable future until the population take the situation seriously enough to obey simple social distancing rules including mask wearing ( especially in crowded situations) and no, the virus is not going to simply vanish as Trump publicly suggested.

At the time Biden was winning (fraud to me) the elections, many of the people didn't wear masks, and no news media criticized such "negligence".

People celebrating Biden's victory in Michigan.

iu


So, don't blame president Trump because people's "negligence".

Continue...
 
Continuing...

Latest stats appear to reflect that the population is generally starting to get the message and the new case rate is actually falling in many states, the ones that have severe restrictions mandated.

Today in the USA
the total case number :
29,427,000
new cases:
53,600
total death ( CFR)
531,000
days new death
1,941
Do the research and work it out for yourself...

Those numbers are telling me people must take care of their health and stop smoking cigarettes and pot, have a good diet and proper medicines to be in good shape in case another similar pandemic breaks out, because no government can "force you" to take care of yourself, such is your responsibility.

Texas has just announced they are opening up totally removing all restrictions.
the total case number today (04/03/2021) (src: worldometers)
3,564,778
total new cases:
1,160
total deaths:
44,701
total new deaths:
47

Texas government is not forcing people to go and shop in malls without masks, such is the individual's choice. I call "freedom" to such a measure.

You won't want the government to prohibit you to eat junk food, such is your will and must be respected. But if you acquire a disease because your poor diet and a pandemic kills you or makes you suffer like hell with the symptoms, why are you to blame the government for not finding fast a cure to the new disease? If you were in good shape, then you won't worry much about it.

It will be tragically interesting to see where the figures go 7-14 days after the restrictions are removed and people relax their social distancing requirements as per Government encouragement.

The Governor, Greg Abbot, may end up in jail for deliberately ignoring medical advice and literally killing thousands due to his failure to protect his community from their own ignorance.

Your friends smoke pot and you know such is killing them as well, and you don't say anything, I guess you could be demonstrating a kind of double standard. Governor Abbot is not forcing people not to wear a mask and not to keep 6 feet distance from others, he is just taking the imposed measure out. From now on, each individual will do what he think is best for him. If this is a case to test "ignorance" in people, don't blame the republican governor, because school teachers are known to be Democrats in majority... lol

In fact I may run a thread topic on the Texas experiment and record their progress back to the inevitable lock down in a few weeks....it is almost a scientific certainty that Texas will be back into severe restrictions with in a few weeks. Same goes for Mississippi. Perhaps the world needs to prepare for a Texan mutation?

You really have malicious wishes. Let the people be, learn the meaning of the word "tolerance". If you were to live in Texas, then you wear your mask and keep distance from others, ask others for your self care to be respected, most of the people will listen to you... Texans are very understandable people...

There is also the issue of the latest and greatest mutation from Brazil that is already being seen in the USA that appears ( the studies are ongoing) to be able to avoid the vaccination regime. If so then the world is going to be in pandemic status for a few years yet...

Because the vaccine is just a waste. Best is to go to the doctor and check your health and do what you need to do to be in good shape.

If you can't reach good health, then you, no others but you, you must be isolated... er... I mean... "protected" from others, and you -not the ones in good health and capable of going to work without issues because the virus- you must receive the "relief check" from time to time until a solution is found. It will be a kind of the same old same old "food stamps"system. You are to be declared "temporarily incapacitated".

Doing so, no more closing of business, economy will recover fast.

History will show that Trump's willful incompetence has cost the USA a staggering amount not only in human terms but in economic ones as well..

History is already showing president Trump did what any scientist will do in front of an unknown disease: trial and error.

No expert in viruses have the proper answer for this coronavirus pandemic, so what are you blaming president Trump about?

I hold him personally responsible for the death of 10's of thousands and I am not the only one.

Yup, also blame the US government for the diabetes pandemic caused by poor diet because eating junk food... you surely are in the right path.

As in Brazil the president there ( a trump clone) is also responsible not only for a significant portion of deaths so far but also the consequential mutation that has emerged in the Amazonia that has the potential to kill millions.

Sure, the damn virus must be a Brazilian republican, right? What about the virus mutation from UK, are you blaming the current UK administration for it?

the only orders i recall is him ordering the media that it is all up to the state governors & that he is "incapable" and "it is not his job"

he then made threats to "step in"

So, when president Trump didn't give an order to be taken in the whole country, then governors called him "incapable"

When president Trump ordered to enforce the immigration law in the whole country, governors said each State is independent and they will decide what to do, and some States even allowed "sanctuaries" to protect illegal immigrants.

Something is wrong with your way of thinking, you must be misinformed... try again.
 
Those numbers are telling me people must take care of their health and stop smoking cigarettes
I noticed your point on smokers a few posts ago... Didn't you know that apparently they found that smokers had a 4% less chance of contracting the virus than non-smokers?

Of course though the down side is that a smoker is more likely to end up on a ventilator and subsequently dead than a non-smoker...

Sure, the damn virus must be a Brazilian republican, right?
Actually you may have a point... have you seen any stats on political affiliation vs CFR?

History is already showing president Trump did what any scientist will do in front of an unknown disease: trial and error.
so you still do not accept that the disease was considered infectious from as early as December 2019. The scientists new quite a bit... especially since 400 million Chinese were in lock down at the time...(23/Jan/2020) (Trump's Chinese travel ban 31/Jan/2020)
trial and error! bizarre statement!

I think it's more his lying about it to keep his numbers up that people condemn him for. At the same time he was telling people it would go away like magic in April, he knew how deadly it was. "This is deadly stuff. You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed. And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flu.” And still he didn't mandate masks - and even told his supporters that if they wore one, it indicated they didn't support him.

Then there's all the little stuff - declining millions of doses of the vaccine for the US, pushing quack remedies over proven mitigations, failing to secure PPE supplies, undermining and contradicting his own disease experts. But that's minor compared to the lying and the misleading that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Trial and error? Sure, that can work. But you have to learn from your errors. Trump never did.

Oh, yeah? Whom paid for those studies... Marlboro company?

Actually you may have a point... have you seen any stats on political affiliation vs CFR?

Do you know how the virus covers the lung membrane? Well, the virus does the same when it attacks this organ. It make it worst the already blocking condition. And you say smoke prevents better against the virus.

so you still do not accept that the disease was considered infectious from as early as December 2019.

Thee earlier infections were detected years ago. Yo better check the records again. Point is that this virus is a weak virus. No need for extreme measures.

The scientists new quite a bit... especially since 400 million Chinese were in lock down at the time...(23/Jan/2020) (Trump's Chinese travel ban 31/Jan/2020)
trial and error! bizarre statement!

Look, any president could have made the same. Today you even laugh because today you understand more about the virus and you can play the intellectual who knows everything about it.

But in January last year you were hidden in your basement, afraid that even your image on the mirror will pass the virus to you. Come on.
 
Also, remember the reaction of Democrats and fanatics against president Trump because the closing of entrance to Chinese people, and it should be greater if the closing of entrance to the US was to include other countries. The whole media except Fox News was against president Trump, you can't deny this fact.

you have made a public statement (!) of a claim that
Fox news is against X-president donald trump
have you got any links to post that show any single example's of this by fox news ?

Oh, yeah? Whom paid for those studies...

who paid for your study of fox news ?
where is your evidence that shows fox news is against X-president donald trump ?


Trumps inaction and stubborn stupidity cost how many of the 500,000 lives 12 month later?

You don't make estimates about deaths that way.

now you are simply being illogical
Quantum Quack HAS made that question with free speech & expressing an opinion to ask a question.
you need to prove the question is invalid with science
your opinion of saying he is not allowed to have an opinion to ask a question is anti-free speech

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

what facts do you have to show Quantum Quack is not allowed to have free speech to ask a question ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

just to clarify though.
the issue is the nicotine and not smoke per see. They found that smokers were under represented as covid-19 outpatients and found that apparently nicotine had some sort of inhibitor effect.
 
Luchito,
When a person takes on the role of POTUS people expect him to be informed in his comments and claims. He has taken on the role of leader and that requires him to take on certain responsibilities.

When trump stands up against better medical opinion and claims for example, that the virus is seasonal and should miraculously vanish soon, people tend to believe he is talking with some authority on the subject. Those people go on to make investments, plans etc accordingly. Their behavior is inspired by his words. Trump had a window of opportunity to mitigate the damage this virus was about to do and he failed to capitalize on it. That failure cost the USA hugely.

So when claiming that he didn't know about the virus, why did he claim that he did?
Why did he lie to the people about how informed he was?
======
It is true that many world leaders were and still are unable to find the courage to stop the denial of the situation they face. It takes balls to be a leader in such a crisis and not many have them.
On or around the 23/Jan/2020 the world became aware that China had placed nearly 400 million people in lock down. That's more people than the entire population of the USA. 400 million people in lock down, numerous overflow hospitals being built, people being welded into their flats to prevent them from moving. Emergency food systems kicking in, corpses laying in the street etc etc. and yet even then the situation was considered an epidemic and not a pandemic by the global community.
It was obvious that the world was not going to react fast enough to deal with the horror unfolding in Hubei province that was already spread globally.
