ORIGINAL: TJSweens Only in the last couple of weeks. If you look at cases per million from the outset, the EU response has outperformed the US response by an embarrassing margin. During the summer the US was never below 70 cases per million with a peak at 200 per million. Meanwhile the EU was around 25. They had a recent spike and passed the US. History dictates they will get it under control faster than we will. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/20/covid-is-accelerating-across-the-globe-as-us-and-europe-head-into-flu-season.html "History dictates they will get it under control faster than we will." Via another economic shutdown. We're happy for them. What's a couple hundred thousand deaths as long as the Dow is up. Who has said the economic shutdowns do more damage than good Anything to justify your vote for Orange Death, I guess.... They also pad the COVID deaths to justify voting for the other guy too...so there is that. So "they" did that? So it's "only" 200,000 deaths, or some other extremely reasonable number? Orange death and his minions told us over the weekend that they're not even trying to control the spread. They "suggest" mask usage at the rallies, but don't want to say anything from the stage because that would be impinging on the cult members' freedoms. In the meantime, we're all "free" to die, endure permanent organ damage, or, surprise, just silently kill those unfortunate to come into contact with an asymptomatic spreader. So lets start with Orange Death....what would you do with it and how do you report the deaths Cuomo created by forcing people into Nursing Homes...still wondering how you blame those tens of thousands in NY on Trump. From Politifact: Our Ruling In a tweet, the HHS assistant secretary for public affairs said that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo “forced” nursing homes across the state to admit COVID-positive patients and that this policy fueled the spread of COVID-19 that led to thousands of deaths in the nursing home population. Although nursing homes felt pressure to accept COVID-positive patients, they were not actually forced to do so. State regulations require nursing homes to accept patients only if they can care for them, and they could have refused them on those grounds. In addition, it’s unclear the extent to which the governor’s policy was responsible for nursing home COVID-19 deaths. Infection control is a long-standing problem in nursing homes, predating the pandemic, and a report showed peak numbers of nursing home deaths came prior to the peak influx of patients as a result of Cuomo’s advisory. While the introduction of COVID-19 positive patients into nursing homes no doubt had an effect on infection spread, Caputo’s statement suggests it was solely responsible. That’s not what the evidence shows. We rate this Mostly False. Your attempt to create a false equivalency doesn't work. And, as has been thoroughly proven, Cuomo made early mistakes, learned from them and adapted and improved his strategies. Meanwhile, the Orange Death doubled down on stupid.
