It was wrong to destroy the economy over a virus 99.999 percent don't even get

[Deuce]

My stats are that 500,000 got the virus

I suppose my math could be off. I'll do it over again but u seem wrong also

Don't recall 4.whatever million

Well, there's your problem: you made up your own numbers.

People like the Original Poster are the reason we have Donald Trump as President. The amount of wrong information that was just shared is actually frightening considering how easy it is to get correct information with the help of the internet....

Best economy ever ....

Another Trump lie spread by his zombie followers.
Trump Says U.S. Economy Is 'Best It Has Ever Been,' But Facts Tell A Different Story
“Trump’s boasting, apart from the usual inaccuracy, is at odds with the reality of a surprisingly fragile U.S. economy.”

“To begin with, while the current expansion may be the longest on record, it is also the weakest. Since 2009, the economy has grown by only 25%, which compares poorly against the much shorter periods of expansion in the 1980s and the 1990s, which grew by 38% and 43% respectively. Even the record low unemployment rate is also not what it seems. One key reason for low unemployment is because people are dropping out of the labor force, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. This means that many American workers, chiefly the less educated and low skilled, have become so discouraged that they have simply given up looking for a job. The economy is not creating jobs that they can fill, while companies are complaining about shortages of skilled workers. As a result, households’ finance remains extremely precarious; a shocking four in ten American adults would not be able to cover an unexpected $400 expense with cash or saving, according to research by the Federal Reserve.”

Trump Didn’t Make This Economy
“The low unemployment rate, decent wage growth, and solid corporate earnings are all artifacts of a long expansion, not signs that a very stable genius in the White House has unleashed American enterprise.”

“Last night, as on so many other nights of his presidency, Donald Trump touted the economy’s prowess. “Three years ago, we launched the great American comeback. Tonight, I stand before you to share the incredible results,” he said during his State of the Union address. “The years of economic decay are over.” The economy “is the best it has ever been.” And it is all happening thanks to Republicans.”

“Contrary to Trump’s crowing at the State of the Union, the country’s growth performance is not unusual or extraordinary. It is good. Solid. A, B, maybe a B–, not an A+. The Bureau of Economic Analysis recently reported that the economy is expanding at a 2.1 percent annual rate—not bad for a developed economy this late in the business cycle, yet roughly half of the 4 percent rate the administration promised. The low unemployment rate, decent wage growth, solid corporate earnings, and a booming stock market: Those are all artifacts of a long, long expansion, not signs that a very stable genius in the White House has unleashed American enterprise.”

* FYI, there’s plenty more proof, but the point is made.

.... the stupid lockdowns ruined it

The “stupid” failed responses of certain government officials, including Trump, has caused far more financial misery than has been necessary.

Iiterally, 99.999 percent of the US population hasn't gotten the virus and likely never will

1% of US population officially has coronavirus. Experts say real number is much higher
“ More than 1% of the United States population has tested positive for coronavirus, but various factors have led experts to believe millions more Americans have contracted the virus.

According to Johns Hopkins University, there are 3.30 million confirmed COVID-19 cases in the U.S. as of Monday, July 13. The country’s census bureau reports the current population is 329.9 million.”

The liberal governors are to blame

The fish rots from the head.

I don't blame some conspiracy theorist who think liberals are behind all this

Of course you don’t, because you’re one of them.

For one, they are always trying to brainwash us to think the world is over populated

^^ Exhibit A.

Best economy ever and all the stupid lockdowns ruined it

The global pandemic response team was dismantled by Team Trump.
That's what destroyed the economy.

And seeing as how you're not a doctor, saying stupid crap like "Of those who do get the virus nearly 98 percent survive" does not take into account all the things we do not yet know about the long term effects of this virus in persons who survive it.

Try and get this:
The ONLY way we will ever restore the economy is by putting together an EFFECTIVE PLAN to deal with COVID, but sadly this administration insists on repeatedly putting the cart in front of the horse.
The global economy will NEVER RECOVER UNTIL WE HANDLE COVID properly.

Not ever...EVER...EVER

The unfortunate reality is that bull**** spreads faster and easier than the truth. Truth is complicated and nuanced. Bull**** is simple and binary.

You're wrong. You are WOE - Wrong On Everything.

Five hundred thousand got COVID in California ALONE.
Try turning off Fox News, but alas I am sure you will instead cling even more tightly to it because Fox News specializes in selling lies to suckers.

All we had to do was keep 6 ft away and wash our hands frequently
Iiterally, 99.999 percent of the US population hasn't gotten the virus and likely never will

The liberal governors are to blame

In new York they found that most ppl who got the virus were ppl who stayed home a lot of tho time

Of those who do get the virus nearly 98 percent survive

I don't blame some conspiracy theorist who think liberals are behind all this

First of all, about four to five percent of the U.S. population has contracted COVID-19 so far, meaning between 95 and 96 percent of the U.S. population has yet to contract it.

As for the survival rate overall on average, the infection fatality rate is about 0.58-0.60 percent by most medical accounts, meaning about 99.42% who contract it on average survive.

However, "on average" doesn't tell the truth about this virus. The aged and infirm have unacceptably high rates of fatality, and those who survive the disease have serious lingering health issues. It also wreaks havoc on those who have super strong immune systems, as strange as that sounds, because hyperactive immune systems overreact in the lungs causing excessive inflammation, fluid, and too often death, and any person at any age may have one of these hyperactive immune systems.

Yes, masks and hand sanitizer .. if everyone would use them all the time they were out in public .. would indeed allow us to avoid economic shutdowns.

However, too many people don't use masks and hand sanitizer when they should.

But while we're on the topic of liberal governors, those, like Cuomo, who knew what this virus does to the elderly and the infirm, and who put COVID-19 patients back in the rest homes to infect and kill similar others .. should be indicted for murder.

I hope that Russia is taking it seriously.

The bold face statement above is nonsense.
