At least I offer explanation for what I say in my posts. You just make claims like a Mormon saying Joseph Smith found gold plates knowing your comrades will pat you on the back.

Again, another anti Trump post from another foreigner

Can you explain the following to us

1. The median age of death from COVID-19 in the U.S. is 78.
2. Nearly half of all deaths occurred in nursing homes.
3. Approximately 40% of those infected show no symptoms.
4. Only 0.04% of cases are children.
5. Despite a spike in cases, the death toll is still down more than 60% from the mid-April peak.

Plenty of countries have higher coronavirus mortality rates per capita, including Great Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Sweden. But we have more total cases because our population is much larger

That does not mean that younger people do not get Covid 19. Some of the under 50 people who get Covid have symptoms that lasts for weeks or months even if they were not hospitalized.

From a May 2020 Article:


Kate Porter has had a fever nearly every day for 50 days. She can't shake the extreme exhaustion that hit when she became infected with the coronavirus nearly two months ago.

The longevity of her symptoms are unlike anything she's ever experienced. "I know it sounds crazy," Porter said, "but is this permanent?"

Since her diagnosis, Porter, 35, has been in her Beverly, Massachusetts, home with her 12-year-old daughter, Adria, who also had symptoms of COVID-19.

Neither has underlying health conditions that would suggest a complicated or drawn-out recovery from the virus, and neither has had to be hospitalized.

In all fairness, they didn't recommend masks back then either. We all learned as more info became available. Not making an excuse, just being real.

I agree.

But President Trump did recommend in mid March we should limit social gatherings to 10 as a way of slowing the spread of coronavirus.

Your key word is "recommend". Even if it was mandated, like in my state, there those just like in the picture who do as they please because all they care about is themselves.

The stupidity of this post is incredible. Cases in the US are surging, but of course you listen to Dr.Trump who tells you everything is "under control". No, it isn't; not even close.

That statement wasn't a mandate as the President doesn't have that authority to enforce that kind of ban. then there is this, why is it being ignored

Again, you as a foreigner continue to divert from your own issues and problems making it a waste of time posting to you. I gave you the official economic data pre pandemic along with the links and you ignored them, not this calling those facts not credible? You simply don't get it. Testing provides the number of active cases, it doesn't capture recoveries and with 40% of the people in this country not having any symptoms but testing positive that skews the data that you want to make an issue of. If you test people and they test positive they are now part of the 4.8 million cases. If they didn't seek treatment there is no way of capturing their recovery thus your focus is on infections not recoveries or deaths. Understand why, your country is over 15% death to infection

You are interfering in U.S. politics and showing your ignorance of U.S. policies, our Constitution, and state and local responsibility

I hate to burst your bubble, but this is a global forum.

How is commenting on the utter failure of your inept 'president' interfering in your politics in any way whatsoever? Is it any different to the US interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign nations? Why yes, yes it is.
