During a Feb. 28, 2020, campaign rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump likened the Democrats' criticism of his administration's response to the new coronavirus outbreak to their efforts to impeach him, saying "this is their new hoax." During the speech he also seemed to downplay the severity of the outbreak, comparing it to the common flu.

Pretty darned close. I wonder what he truly believed.

Re: Virus Schmirus
I was just listening to the daily briefing and it's really annoying how reporters repeatedly ask Dr.F differently worded questions that translate to, "What did Trump do wrong?" And he's not biting.
At one point he said he would try to answer carefully so that his answers don't get taken out of context the way they had been recently.
The difference between the actual material and the media spin is amazing.

Re: Virus Schmirus
Many in the media are asking "gotcha" questions. They need to ask fresh questions with answers, hopefully, that will enlighten us, move us forward.Millikin wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 12:17 amI was just listening to the daily briefing and it's really annoying how reporters repeatedly ask Dr.F differently worded questions that translate to, "What did Trump do wrong?"

No, it's not very close at all. One is saying the media is being dishonest, the other is saying the virus didn't exist.Double Mocha Man wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 9:28 pm"What's True

The BS lies and fear mongering is getting called out more and more this week as we realize this thing isnt nearly as bad as we were led to believe.
Momentum is shifting as cooler heads prevail.
Besides, you honestly think America is cool with no sports until 2022??
Please.
Re: Virus Schmirus
Perfect. So 39% of sports fans said they would go without a vaccine; which allows for social distancing.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 4:49 ambuild it and they won't come...with all the eagerness to fire up sporting events, fans not interested in attending until there is a vaccine
