The Trump Pandemic

[Joe]

They are starting to put bodies in refrigerated trucks in New York already.

What does that mean?

They've got no room in the hospital and morgue.

I'm not sure about New York, but around here, if the mass fatality plan involves holding bodies in trucks, the plan does not assume they will maintain resale value. Even a community centre used for mass fatalities and such, can be kind of seen differently.

People are weird about death. Maybe New Yorkers would just rinse them off and use them like reefer trucks again.

You can just leave them outside in the snow.

Not anymore. Climate change!

What other world leaders do is the only way to measure what 'world leaders do'.

Good. That is the comparison you wish to do to get Trump off the hook for inaction. It won't fly.

Trump alone is responsible for making the US the Pandemic centre.

Are you willing to say he did a great job on anything?

Absolutely. Give me an example.

Can't think of a single one, eh?

So you can't think of anything...

I can say positive things about him. Never had any trouble doing so.

There are plenty you could find, without my brilliant help, but the fact that you can't is making my point.

Look, seriously, you must know you have this bias...don't you?

You seem to have trouble naming anything now. A pathetic swerve.

I suppose that criticising Hitler could be seen as having a bias...

Criticism is not the criterion of bias. The criterion is not complying with a demand to list positive achievements. The underlying assumption is that no national leader could possibly be totally devoid of them and if you can't find any worth mentioning your judgement is fundamentally kaput.

Just thinking about this...

I read Italy lost 900 in a day this week, is it supposed to take this long to flatten the curve?

The virus has several days incubation before you can even see it in a test. Then some more days before the symptoms become obvious so that people actually seek a test, then some days until the test is registered in statistics.

It's expected that after doing a shutdown, it takes more than two weeks before the first consistent slowing of new cases is observable.

A huge part of the people dying from the virus in a hospital die only after days or even one or two weeks of ICU treatments. So, it is expected that a slowing of the numbers of deaths every day will only be seen maybe four or five weeks after a shutdown.

... If an effective lockdown can be maintained that long. In that regard voluntary measures may not be enough - and that opens a whole new can of worms doesn't it?

It's not a swerve by me, but by you.

I wouldn't call it pathetic. More predictable and underwhelming.

I wouldn't call it pathetic. More predictable and underwhelming.

Come back when you can think of Trump's great achievement.

Come back when you can think of Trump's great achievement.

Do you think people suspect me of being motivated by an unreasonable hatred of Trump?

To dispel that, I'll say it here again - I think his greatest accomplishment is ruining the credibility of news media agencies, who mostly deserved it.

Though he is being currently credited with taking over the Federal Reserve, which might be bigger, and might be good. Time will tell.

My point about that wasn't that I couldn't, it was that you couldn't. I think you can't honestly praise any of his actions, whether prison reform, international trade laws, closing his border to China early, or publicly identifying and opposing their propaganda. You can't say good things about him because you are so committed to the idea that he is the worst possible choice.

Even though all the other choices are people who got rich in politics.

Trump made the trains run on time

[Tero]

Trump wanted to kill Amtrak. In a way, they would have been on time. They are never on time now.

[NineBerry]

Sorry, I meant Hitler. He made the trains run on time.

[laklak]

He loved dogs, too.
