Six Trump campaign staffers on the advance team for the Tulsa rally tested positive for COVID-19

I love this quote:

lol he's def going to make a denigrating joke about wearing masks during the rally

It is interestingly ironic how this rally is such a big deal to the leftist MSM, but that same Media is completely agnostic to all the other political marches/demonstrations going on in the country at the exact same time, encompassing probably at least 50X the number of people.

Not to mention the last 2 weeks in totality that probably encompasses 1000X the number of people.

This is the only one that's indoors and the only one that's going to feature 0% of attendees wearing masks, so it seems like it deserves larger scrutiny from a health perspective, yes. Like, this is probably the largest indoor event that's been held in the United States since professional sports shut down, obviously that's a huge story, what kind of moron would argue otherwise?

There's of course been plenty of articles in the "leftist MSM" about how protests could fuel COVID dating back weeks, but you've never been one to let silly things like "facts" get in the way of your independent, nonpartisan, objective thinking.

It is an interesting numbers game whether several instances of 200,000 people packed elbow to elbow in the streets (some wearing masks, many not) is a better/worse public health issue than one incidence of 20,000 in an indoor stadium.

And clearly the levels of media criticism for each is not proportionate to the risk, but rather proportionate to political concerns.

I don’t think for a second Trump cares at all about public health. But it is clear to me the MSM has their own political calculus that is pretty much independent of actual political health concern.

This is amazing. Remember this quote?

Well, yeah, about that:



"What were the infected staffers doing?"
"Oh, nothing important, just HANDING OUT THE MASKS that we said are the reason this event is safe to hold. Luckily, no one will actually wear them!"

Trump staffers handing out smallpox blankets is so 2020 lolol

When complimented on the prescience of his film "Idiocracy", director Mike Judge responded - "it wasn't that accurate, we were off by 490 ****ing years".

If a campaign official actually said that, that is pretty amazing and hilarious, with part of the hilarity not being sure what level they are really on.

The smallpox blanket comment is funny too, although I would be careful in the company you use it at, because I am sure there are plenty of wokesters who will extremely offended on behalf of American Indians if you used it in their company.

Why would a wokester be offeneded by his usage?

I can't stand Trump but it's politically correct horse **** about the protests and nothing more.
In NYC the same politicians who are encouraging the protests are having the cops kick people out of parks and telling people they can't swim on the beach. Magically covid avoids protests.

The trumptards are also morons but they think this whole thing is a hoax so at least their moronic behavior is consistent.

?

No one, outside of Kelhus' imagination, is saying protests won't spread COVID. Have you been reading too many of his posts? You're making a big mistake if you ever take anything he posts seriously.

re: kicking people out of parks: when right-wing protests against blue-state lockdowns were all the rage, featuring less mask usage than the current protests, Dem governors did not disperse them with force or arrest/cite people who protested. So the behavior of government officials (if not their approval or disapproval of the subject being protested, which makes sense given the subjects) has been consistent.

Is Georgia still doomed?

after all, they were doing a study on human sacrifice.

what a f'in joke this is.

no honestly haven't read more than 1 or 2 of his posts

But i've seen Deblasio and Cuomo spin bullshit about the protests as well as some other politicians doing the same. They're literally scared to say anything negative about the protests for political reasons. It's disgraceful.

Those idiots protesting without masks about wanting to reopen wore less masks percentage wise, but were much smaller crowds and there were lot less of those protests. Government officials were also correctly saying those people were spreading disease so they're not being consistent at all.

It is pretty funny how all of these self-proclaimed "impartial objective thinkers" always end up being standard right wing loons. It makes you wonder if they genuinely do watch both left and right wing sources and just happen upon tucker carlson as their most compelling source. Too funny.

For all the clowns in here that were saying that the increase in cases was because of more testing, well GOP Florida Governor DeSantis on Saturday had to walk back that stupid crap and admit that testing doesn't account for the spike.

“Even with the testing increasing or being flat, the number of people testing positive is accelerating faster than that,” DeSantis told reporters during a briefing at the state Capitol. “You know that's evidence that there's transmission within those communities.”

Back when all of this was starting, DeSantis refrained from requiring that people wear masks in public. And like a true Trumpkin he downplayed the importance of masks. And now he is pulling out the ignoramus logic of not saying masks are important now even as the cases spike to record numbers day after day. Check out this logic...since we gave you bad advice in March, that means we can't give you good advice now...

“If you say you're going to be prosecuted you know or wear a mask, they’ll say 'geez, they were telling me not to wear one in March now they're saying to do it,'” DeSantis said.

DeSantis was negligent in March, this is what happens when you try to be Trump's butt buddy. Trump as the commander and chief has done a horrible job keeping the people of this country safe with his no mask self. That negligence sets off a dominoe effect of bad decisions.

Below is the article where Florida Gov DeSantis was finally boxed into a corner and could no longer deny the math. But hey, the no math ignoramus group in this thread is small but still dedicated to denial.

Good.

The ROW thanks you for stepping up and supporting the cause of herd immunity.

for people who like real data!

Conclusions:
- Sweden amongst the worst hit by coronavirus
- dwarfed by Brazil, USA, and india
- As equivalently had as Netherlands

It's an amazing site tbh

grrrrrrunching, but what kind of a dishonest ******* makes this false equivalency?

my memory might be wrong but wasn't the only reason we went into lockdown was to lower the initial cases so hospitals do not get overwhelmed?

are hospitals overwhelmed? no..so why are we still in lockdown

does the death rate magically change depending on how many people are infected?

30 million people unemployed and counting but don't worry we have 10k less deaths now lol...

Conservatives: "Donald Trump has saved millions of lives through his decisive action"
Also conservatives: "Lockdowns don't work, if we never did anything at all then maybe 130k people would be dead instead of 120k"

lolololololol

not sure what you are getting at but you didn't answer my point

you seem to do this a lot

you attack a random part of a person's post that has no relation to the main topic then proceed to act like you won something

why post in bad faith?

If the whole point of the lockdowns is so hospitals do not get overwhelmed then why do people still want the lockdown? when did the goal post change to reducing the number of deaths as much as possible?

if 30 million people lost their jobs for this? is it worth it?

i still don't understand why so many people are hoping that we stay in lockdown

what is your end game?

I mean, it's definitely funny to see some conservatives be like "this was gonna kill MILLIONS until Donald Trump saved us all" while others say "everything we've done has been pointless and saved no lives" and these people never argue with each other despite having diametrically opposed opinions, they only argue with the libs.

I've always wanted to reduce deaths as much as possible, and other countries have shown us this is possible. New Zealand has basically eradicated COVID. Australia is well on their way.

re: 30 million jobs: idk, how many jobs is a person's life worth? You tell me, usually conservatives are the ones saying "all life is precious and priceless". If you could aim a ray gun at the world and push a button to get those 30 million jobs back, what's the maximum number of people you would kill to do so? Clearly it's a lot more than 10,000, what's your limit?

I don't understand where the 10,000 number comes from? Is this a legit stat or did someone just make it up?
