I find myself getting closer to bursting with rage over how Trump is handling this pandemic
    #26575398 - 04/03/20 03:16 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

I feel like every day I am seeing the USA deteriorate when it doesn't need to be happening this way. 
We really could have handled this much better if we had a President in charge who actually was competent and cared about the people.
Every day I want to post on social media how much I dislike Trump but I don't want to be that crazy person who always is talking bad about the president.

Dr. Fauci doesn't understand why there hasn't been a federal order for the country to stay at home yet, and I also don't understand.

I don't know where I'm going with this post, I guess I just needed to vent a little.

The second there is an order to stay home, you will be calling him a tyrant for making people stay at home.

America is winning the race to suffer more than any country on earth from this virus. It’s Trump, the rest of them, and last but not least the people.

You reap what you sow.

People forget what a tremendously large and varied country America is. There are quite a few states that are very rural and isolated and don't hang out at bars ect all day.


These also tend to be places that are ran almost entirely by mom and pop shops. Their economy is barely hanging on as it is, they don't want to put the nail in the coffin.

Do you think, that when the country moves on to trying to rebuild, that we will be thinking of the little towns and 'farms' in Montana? No most of the relief plans will be focused on cities, as it has been for years. We've left places like Littletown, MT to fend for themselves. Forcing them to do things they don't need to do is... frankly just shitty.

It's almost exclusively midwest states that haven't locked things down yet. But even still the townships and small businesses and the public are trying to stay home more. Which is fine... because most of them did that anyway.

Alot of rural states could afford to just lockdown cities and large population areas.



Also, unless I'm mistaken, not all of China locked down. They took serious measures (that we are not) but never issued stay at home orders for the whole country.

What they did in the latter phases was if a business had a person who had confirmed covid19 that entire business was shut down for a minimum of 2 weeks. It seems to have been relatively effective.

But... China has dealt with scary epidemics before. They're used to the social protocol. We're not because ya know... the last one we had the government did basically nothing except shoehorn in a vaccine that was faulty to a point that people still think you can get the flu from the flu shot.

Because you could in those first vaccines.

China was dragging people out of their homes kicking and screaming and welding people inside their homes. And shroomery members say they are a good leader. Imagine what people would be saying if the same thing happened here

Some parts of the country they did that. I imagine it would not have flown well in some (more affluent and powerful) parts of the country.


Still the state had no problem saying you CANNOT leave your home if you've been exposed, affluent or not.
And your business or place of work had to go through a sterilization period. They tackled that shit pretty hard.


Still their approach was problematic. You would avoid getting tested at all costs if it threatened your livelihood.

And that human rights thing. But that's been a grey area in China for a long time.



:ohwell: I'm still not entirely convinced the measures we've already taken were the right call. ie shutting down ... basically the entire economy aside from Amazon, streaming, and grocery.


COVID has killed 63,000. Suicide kills about 800,000 per year in better times. 70,000 Americans die from drug overdose each year in better times.



Confining people to their homes and shutting down things like "elective" recovery programs and therapy... probably not helpful by some measures.

But we know mental illness and drug addiction is bad and somewhat know what to expect with it. We don't know what to expect with COVID.



Again it's not that COVID is wildly deadly or anything. It's just that it's new.
At least as far as we know so far. That's not to say that it wouldn't be. We don't know.

All I do know is that the people dying from being rejected for "elective" surgery and other health resources, mental illness, and all the other stuff that happens when life isn't great... is going to skyrocket.



Was it worth it?

That's a question for the future. When we know more about this coronavirus and see the long term effects of these decisions.


HOWEVER assuming there ever is another Spanish flu or bubonic plague that does make people drop like flies.... I believe the practice and the plans we're making today were well worth it.

Yes, USA is huge country.  We need a leader who has the skills to be able to unite all fifty states of this big country.  Trump isn't capable of that. 
I sure hope that we think about Littletown, MT during all of this.  It would be un-American if we didn't.
And yes, a lot of areas of the USA are rural, but we can't not order them to also stay home because all it takes with this highly contagious virus is one person to keep the spread going and cause a new wave of global infection.  One Joe Smo from Littletown, MT can travel to NYC for vacation and cause a new spread because no one told Littletown how to handle themselves during a viral pandemic. 
"Ohhh our mayor told us to stay home, but I will wait until the President tells me to stay home because he is who I listen to."  I bet you could hear a lot of that from rural people.

Man out here in Peru men can only come out of their house every other day and is the same for women by law (like men come out monday, women tuesday, ya get it). No one can come out on sundays and curfew is at 6PM everyday..

It fucking sucks!! Who the fuck gives a shit if the old die, I wanna go out and work and make money, this pandemic is fucking the economy up.

People are sick in the mind, anxious and stressed about the possibility of catching the virus, yet I dont know anyone who knows anybody who is actually sick from this virus.

I care about old people dying. It's not just death bed-age that are at risk, it's retirement-age people that are at risk. I don't know the situation in Peru, but where I am, all the old people that are out are wearing masks and gloves too anyway. I'm no expert but some of the lock downs do seem excessive in some places though.

Lifeiswhat - Trump isn't acting alone, or unilaterally. And, Faucí is not an economist.

It is just more of the same.



Trumps detractors were already talking about an investigation a few days ago.... reminds me of those tiny dinosaurs that attack in packs to overpower larger prey.... or ankle-biter dogs....

The problem most have with Trump is personality-based, and issued from the sidelines no less - with, in the case of this virus, no possible way to even "know any better".  Nothing like this virus outbreak has happened before, and so much has been done to combat this, it is amazing.  The level of management across multiple institutions always so saturated in Red Tape bullshit is amazing to see.  It fucked us at first, but things are running better now. 

What specifically to you shows that he is too "incompetent" to handle this.

I don't get upset at what Trump does anymore, because that would be expecting anything of him.

In 3 or 4 months, if less people have died than originally projected, and if our economy comes back to life, I've already seen that the Far-left-wing-nutz have said it will just be Trump "spinning" his failure into a success.  In their eyes he has all their blood on his hands. 

They've committed, already before this has peaked even, to the idea of Trump's failure, regardless of what happens.  That is why they have NO CRED. Just like the Far-left-wing-nutz opening an investigation already, before this thing has even peaked - NO CRED. 

If they would pick their battles more wisely instead of so widely, they would have retained some CRED - instead they have attacked literally everything, right or wrong, and have shown that their opinions are consistently biased.

Thanatos - I thought he was going to screw everything up too, and thought him winning in '16 was a joke.  It is surprising to see, when you set aside distaste of character traits, some of the results he produces.  The denial of that seems always to come from those who just flat-out hate him, regardless of what he does - which makes it easy for most of the country to see right through it.

:idea:
I just realized this was in P&MWB forum.
Hmmmm...

Symptoms:
A feeling of wanting to burst with rage, but unable to place the cause anywhere other than character trait distaste. The inability to recognize or acknowledge any positive realities regarding the current state of things, leading to a disproportionate amount of Tears.

Diagnosis: Classic T.D.S.

Cure: None known.  This syndrome stems from a deep-seeded disease of the mind that is very unlikely to be easily corrected.  One method of treatment is to willfully drop character distaste biases, and to strengthen research skills to better know Facts - but one will also need to stop the compulsion to Spin the details to fit what's known as the "Orange-man-Bad" mindset.

*sigh*

If you don't understand by now then I don't think you ever will.
The Trump administration was so delayed in providing the public with adequate, safety information and a solid plan for a successful navigation through this pandemimc. A LOT of people were and are being fired from their jobs.  The most in decades. Maybe ever.  A lot of people are dying and getting sick that don't need to be.  The guy said the pandemic was "very much under control in the USA" on February 29.  Haha now look at where we are!  Almost every business is shut down!  That doesn't seem "under control" at all, unless you're delusional like Trump is.
Are you not aware of all this?

Since it doesn't seem you are, I'll be helpful and give you the link to the timeline of Trump's public statements regarding COVID19 and how they correlate with the experts: https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/mar/20/how-donald-trump-responded-coronavirus-pandemic/

You're a fool.  You're ignorance of reality is what is wrong with this country.  You're just putting words in my mouth at this point.  I have clearly layed out why I feel this way.  You're gonna have to do better than that.

" *sigh*"?

Quitch'yer bitchin'

There was no and is no saving everybody from death or job-loss, no previously made "adequate safety info" or "solid plan" that exists for this situation - it is new, takes time to manage, and much red tape to untangle. Once this started, we were in for pain and loss - whether or not the mitigation is working (and 8f it *should have been* expedited) and to what extent it is lessening the pain and loss is speculative and subjective.
Blaming any one man is a far reach for most people, especially when considering that there are multiple opinions and personalities poured into the decision making - but that is exactly what a minority has done, making every reach and stretch to construct their narrative .  And wouldn't you know, it is those that have hated him all along.  In their minds, an action or word from Trump is by definition a failing, leaving no room possible for success. No success would ever be admitted or seen as success.  No pleasing some.
That is why I say, NO CRED. 
And no, you haven't "clearly layed" out anything, except proof that you will accept nothing as positive from Trump, and will side with all of the negative twists and spins - and anyone who doesn't agree with your biased perception is wrong, and ignorant.  Thankfully you unreasonable left-wing-nutz who think the bodies should be laid at Trumps feet are in the minority!

Trump has very little concern for the long-term consequences of his actions. If people are afraid, the economy slows which lowers his approval ratings. It doesn't much matter to him that he is putting people at risk, or that he's nurturing a distrust of doctors, the medical community and the media. As long as he achieves what he's aiming for, he doesn't care
