This is pretty simple:
- People in general were and are willing to take drastic measures (such as mandated lock downs) in order to save lives.
- People in general are not and will never be willing to take these same drastic measures in order to prevent people from simply getting sick.
This is why you will see more and more people tend to ignore, resist, or even fight against further lock downs because of an increase in the number of "cases". Especially considering most of these "cases" are now very mild and are leading to a much, much, much smaller percentage of deaths.
We have never before in our history made such drastic social moves in an attempt to control a virus. I seriously believe that in retrospect, had we known then what we know now about who and how the virus affects our population, we would not have made the same moves.
It feels like we are simply having a political debate over something that appears to be common sense. If you are one of those who expects that the new "normal" is to wear masks around, stand six feet apart, and not allow any sort of activity that draws a crowd, in order to prevent people from catching a (cold) coronavirus... then I think many people will continue to disagree with you.
Perspective:
- 1500 people a day die from heart disease
- 1500 people a day die from cancer
- 500 people a day die from random accidents
- 400 people a day die from respiratory disease
- 350 people a day die from stroke or heart attack
- 150 people a day die from diabetes
- 135 people a day die from the flu
- 100 people a day die from gun violence
It's becomes an argument from the left that "anyone" dying from Covid is someone's fault, and that no action should be considered too drastic, if it can save even a few lives. Of course, this logic is ignored for other arguments. Certainly an increase in crime and death will occur if we defund the police forces. But again, don't play the logic card with a liberal. It will only trigger them.

Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!
They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!

@seanmdav
The government lied when it said N95 masks wouldn’t work (they’re the only masks that work). Government lied about the risk of being outside. And it’s lying to you now about cotton masks (which have pores 100-1000x bigger than the virus). It was always about control, not health.
and people are getting pissed

So fewer people died because they took the drug @realDonaldTrump suggested....
Thank you, POTUS for doing the right thing even in the face of a DC culture attacking you no matter what you do.
A very real question should be asked by real journalists:
Did some US media outlets encourage people to NOT take a drug that could have saved their lives- all because they hate Trump?
yes
I see the crowd at Mt. Rushmore looks rather small, sound unenthusiastic, and are maskless and lilly white.
Memo Seeks to Foster Doubts About Russian Bounties
“A memo produced in recent days by the office of the nation’s top intelligence official acknowledged that the C.I.A. and top counterterrorism officials HAVE ASSESSED THAT RUSSIA APPEARS TO HAVE OFFERED BOUNTIES TO KILL AMERICAN AND COALITION TROOPS IN Afghanistan, but emphasized uncertainties and gaps in evidence, according to three officials,” the New York Times reports.
“The memo is said to contain no new information, and both its timing and its stressing of doubts SUGGESTED THAT IT WAS INTENDED TO BOLSTER the Trump administration’s attempts to justify its inaction on the months-old assessment.”

White House Readies New Message on Coronavirus
“After several months of mixed messages on the coronavirus pandemic, the White House is settling on a new one: Learn to live with it,” NBC News reports.
“Administration officials are planning to intensify what they hope is a sharper, and less conflicting, message of the pandemic next week, after struggling to offer clear directives amid a crippling surge in cases across the country. On Thursday, the United States reported more than 55,000 new cases of coronavirus and infection rates were hitting new records in multiple states.
“At the crux of the message, officials said, is a recognition by the White House that THE VIRUS IS NOT GOING AWAY ANY TIME SOON — AND WILL BE AROUND THROUGH THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.”

Trump's speech was very good.
That was in part a GOOD speech! I see Trump's handlers finally convinced him to stick to his teleprompter.
I agree with VERY much that he said, and it will INDEED COME TRUE -- with the election of President Biden.
No, Biden has sided with the people who would destroy America. He would hasten it's destruction.
BREAKING: "Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is dating the president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., tested positive for the novel coronavirus while in South Dakota."
struck to the script.
But he didn't mention that he wants to keep the statues of Civil War traitors against the United States
Very much that Trump said is false and hypocritical when coming from his mouth but would be truly uplifting and inspiring and truthful when coming from Biden's mouth.
If Trump really is going to put up some sort of monuments to American heroes, he will have a fight on his hands over including Andrew Jackson the Indian hater, or anti-Union Jefferson Davis, etc., etc.
MOUNT RUSHMORE NATIONAL MEMORIAL, S.D. (AP) — At the foot of Mount Rushmore on the eve of Independence Day, President Donald Trump made a direct appeal to disaffected white voters four months before Election Day, accusing protesters who have pushed for racial justice of engaging in a “merciless campaign to wipe out our history.”
The president dug further into American divisions on Friday, offering a discordant tone to an electorate battered by a pandemic and wounded by racial injustice following the high-profile killings of Black people. He zeroed in on the desecration by some protesters of monuments and statues across the country that honor those who have benefited from slavery, including some past presidents.
“This movement is openly attacking the legacies of every person on Mount Rushmore," Trump said. He lamented “cancel culture" and charged that some on the political left hope to “defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children." He said Americans should speak proudly of their heritage and shouldn't have to apologize for its history.
“We will not be terrorized, we will not be demeaned, and we will not be intimidated by bad, evil people,” Trump added. “It will not happen.”
The speech and fireworks at Mount Rushmore came against the backdrop of a pandemic that has killed over 125,000 Americans. The president flew across the nation to gather a big crowd of supporters, most of them maskless and all of them flouting public health guidelines that recommend not gathering in large groups.
The discord was heightened as the Trump campaign confirmed during the president's speech that Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top fundraiser for the campaign and the girlfriend of Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr., had tested positive for the coronavirus while in South Dakota. Both Guilfoyle and Trump Jr., who serves as top surrogate for the president, are isolating themselves and have canceled public events, according to Sergio Gor, chief of staff to the Trump campaign’s finance committee.
During the speech, the president announced he was signing an executive order to establish the National Garden of American Heroes, a vast outdoor park that will feature the statues of the “greatest Americans to ever live.”
Amid the campaign headwinds, the president has sharpened his focus on his most ardent base of supporters as concern grows inside his campaign that his poll numbers in the battleground states that will decide the 2020 election are slipping.
Trump in recent weeks has increasingly lashed out at “left-wing mobs," used a racist epithet to refer to the coronavirus and visited the nation’s southern border to spotlight progress on his 2016 campaign promise to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall.
The event, while not a campaign rally, had the feel of one as the friendly crowd greeted Trump with chants of “Four more years!” and cheered enthusiastically as he and first lady Melania Trump took the stage.
“They think the American people are weak and soft and submissive," Trump said. “But no, the American people are strong and proud, and they will not allow our country and all of its values, history and culture to be taken from them.”
Republican Gov. Kristi Noem, in her own remarks, echoed Trump’s attacks against his opponents who “are trying to wipe away the lessons of history”
“Make no mistake: This is being done deliberately to discredit America’s founding principles by discrediting the individuals who formed them,” she said.
Noem, a Trump ally, had said social distancing won't be required during the event and masks will be optional. Event organizers were to provide masks to anyone who wanted them and planned to screen attendees for symptoms of COVID-19.
The small town of Keystone, which lies a couple of miles from the monument, was buzzing with people Friday hoping to catch a glimpse of the fireworks and the president. Many wore pro-Trump T-shirts and hats. Few wore masks.
“This is going to rank up in the top Fourth of Julys that I talk about,” said Mike Stewhr, who brought his family from Nebraska.
Mike Harris of Rapid City, who said he was a Republican, wore a mask and waved an anti-Trump flag. He also was sporting a handgun on each hip. He said he was worried the event would spark a COVID-19 outbreak.
“I think it's a bad example being set by our president and our governor,” Harris said.
Leaders of several Native American tribes in the region raised concerns that the event could lead to virus outbreaks among their members, who they say are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 because of an underfunded health care system and chronic health conditions.
“The president is putting our tribal members at risk to stage a photo op at one of our most sacred sites,” said Harold Frazier, chairman of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.
Some Native American groups used Trump's visit to protest the Mount Rushmore memorial itself, pointing out that the Black Hills were taken from the Lakota people.
More than 100 protesters, many Lakota, lined the road leading from Keystone to the monument holding signs and playing Lakota music in 95-degree heat. Some held their fists in the air as cars loaded with event attendees passed by. Others held signs that read “Protect SoDak's First People,” “You Are On Stolen Land” and “Dismantle White Supremacy."
“The president needs to open his eyes. We're people, too, and it was our land first,” said Hehakaho Waste, a spiritual elder with the Oglala Sioux tribe.
Several people who once oversaw fire danger at the national memorial have said setting off fireworks over the forest was a bad idea that could lead to a large wildfire. Fireworks were called off after 2009 because a mountain pine beetle infestation increased the fire risks.
Noem pushed to get the fireworks resumed soon after she was elected, and enlisted Trump's help. The president brushed aside fire concerns earlier this year, saying, “What can burn? It's stone.”
Trump has presided over a several large-crowd events — in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and at an Arizona megachurch — even as health officials warn against large gatherings and recommend face masks and social distancing. He plans a July Fourth celebration on the National Mall in Washington despite health concerns from D.C.’s mayor. Trump and Melania Trump plan to host events from the White House South Lawn and from the Ellipse.

Associated Press writers Jill Colvin and Aamer Madhani in Washington and Todd Richmond in Madison, Wis., contributed to this report.
President Trump on Friday during a Fourth of July event at Mount Rushmore lashed out at protesters calling for the removal of Confederate statues, accusing them of wanting to “overthrow the American Revolution” and fundamentally change the country adding that protestors' goal is to "end America."

Funny how when Obama a visited MT Rushmore in 2007, CNN called it majestic and quite a sight. But when Trump visits it, it's a symbol of slavery and racism.
2008
Down in the polls and failing to control a raging pandemic, the president cast himself as waging battle against a “new far-left fascism” that imperils American values and seeks to erase history.
He's right. What the liberal left is subjecting the country to is dangerous. America will cease to be America.

Trump Gives Divisive Speech at July 4th Fireworks
July 4, 2020 at 7:10 am EDT
President Trump issued a fiery condemnation of a “left-wing cultural revolution” he said is mounting a “radical assault” on American democracy in a speech steeped in historical hyperbole delivered against the stunning backdrop of Mount Rushmore on the observed Fourth of July."
Said Trump: “Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders, deface our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities. They think the American people are weak and soft and submissive.”

The ones who unquestioningly follow
Trump are definitely weak and soft and submissive in the head.
"Far left wing fascism" bloviates the most far right wing fascist President we have ever had.
But he didn't mention that he wants to keep the statues of Civil War traitors against the United States
Going to shoot Confederate re-enactors because they're traitors right Roger?
Your statement is stupid, ignorant, and divisive.
NEW YORK TIMES:
GOP Convention Created Money Woes in Two Cities
“Organizers are trying to assuage vexed Republicans who collectively gave millions of dollars for a Charlotte event that has mostly been scrapped. The host committee there has spent virtually all of the $38 million it raised before the convention was moved, leaving almost nothing to return to donors, or to pass on to the new host city.
“In Jacksonville, fund-raisers are describing the process as the most difficult they have ever confronted: Florida has been setting daily records for new virus cases, freezing money as donors wait and worry about the safety risks of the pandemic.”

What a pathetic parrot.
Trump is the most divisive President ever. He does not respect or care about indigenous people. His visit to Mount Rushmore is a symbol of hate and injustice to all native people.
At the foot of Mount Rushmore’s granite monument to his presidential forebears, President Trump on Friday delivered a dark speech ahead of Independence Day in which he sought to exploit the nation’s racial and social divisions and rally supporters around a law-and-order message that has become a cornerstone of his reelection campaign.
Trump focused most of his address before a crowd of several thousand in South Dakota on what he described as a grave threat to the nation from liberals and angry mobs — a “left-wing cultural revolution” that aims to rewrite U.S. history and erase its heritage amid the racial justice protests that have roiled cities for weeks.

The vandalism and destruction of monuments had very little to do with racial justice and everything to do with the deliberate erasure of history.

Did he not "dog whistle" that they should not have their statues removed from public properties for which we of all races and ethnicities pay taxes, or have their names removed from our military bases?
I thought he did.
So you made it all up James.

You couldn't hear those clear dog whistles, Commensa?
Thought so.
He is pursuing a Southern strategy that got him elected President.
It is working with you people.
But you are not the majority vote
Donald Trump has taken over from Benedict Arnold as “America’s number one traitor,” according to a group of veterans seeking to vote the president out of office this November.
“No one has betrayed those in uniform like Donald Trump,” said the voiceover in the latest ad released by the VoteVets organization on Friday.
The 65-second spot references Trump’s siding with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin over U.S. intelligence on Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and his dismissal of reports that U.S. officials knew Russia allegedly paid Taliban members to kill American troops.
“This July Fourth, Benedict Arnold can step aside, because Benedict Donald is America’s number one traitor,” the voiceover concluded.
Can't wait to see whose statues will or will not be included in the touted Park of American Heroes or whatever it is that Trump plans to have erected.
I didn't see a single black person in the Mt. Rushmore crowd.
Surely there must have been one there. Or two. Or three.
I don't think Benedict Donald's statue will appear in the Park of American Heroes.
Trump repeatedly promised to defend historical monuments and statues, but avoided any mention of the statues that have been the focus of the most debate — those of Confederate leaders, which he has called for preserving, even as cities and states take steps to remove them.

I'm not stopping you from searching for it,
Go to it.
The National Garden should be composed of statues, including statues of John Adams, Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton, Daniel Boone, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Henry Clay, Davy Crockett, Frederick Douglass, Amelia Earhart, Benjamin Franklin, Billy Graham, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King, Jr., Abraham Lincoln, Douglas MacArthur, Dolley Madison, James Madison, Christa McAuliffe, Audie Murphy, George S.

The Donald Trump traitor narrative doesn't pass the laugh test.
Anybody who parrots it is not a serious person.
It was certainly not something to laugh about. Those veterans sure aren't laughing. Nor the parents of some of our American dead in Afghanistan.
Re Trump's statues list at 8:10:

"Our country was founded on an idea: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’ We’ve never lived up to it. Jefferson himself didn’t – he held slaves, women were excluded. But once proposed, it was an idea that couldn’t be restrained. Through it all, these words have gnawed at our conscience and pulled us towards justice. We have a chance to rip the roots of systemic racism out of this country. We have a chance to live up to the words that founded this nation.”
On November 3rd we have to save the country from Donald Trump and his pathological supporters who don't care that the Russians pay for the corpse of American soldiers.
What I graduated from the Rapid City high school we one African American student. In 1969.
Jefferson's words of wisdom:
~ “The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.”
~"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom."
~“Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.”
~“Laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the general progress of the human mind.”
And finally.....
“A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high virtues of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation.”
The irony
“Far Left Fascism,” quoted the fascist, while standing in front of America’s Shrine of Democracy.
No one is calling for the abolition of the police or the Second Amendment, but that is the point. He needs an enemy. The people that attended his speech, or the people at home supporting his speech, are the type that will fight to the death for the above two causes. Only they're not causes. People want to reform policing and add sensible regulations to gun ownership. But one cannot drive a conservative to a "war-readiness state" with sensible language.
It was also plain old fucking bizarre, a man giving a campaign speech at what was an official event.
Roger, you are a sense-speaking person.
No one is calling for the abolition of the police or the Second Amendment,
Dumping the police is the exact message that trump is promoting in his campaign ads in deep red georgia that he is spending lots of money defending Good God these people are stupid!!!!!

For those who have been bitching about the protests and how dangerous they are...
can tell you from our own testing in Minnesota, which has been substantial, we have seen no evidence of any kind of measurable impact of protests on cases,” said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. “There could have been cases, surely, but it was not a major amplifying event.”
Julia Marcus, an infectious disease epidemiologist and assistant professor in the department of population medicine at Harvard Medical School, said the data collected from protesters so far, along with studies suggesting that outdoors is lower risk for transmission, should reassure public health officials about the safety of masked outdoor gatherings and prompt them to open beaches and public outdoor spaces to help people gather more safely during the pandemic.

During his Fourth of July Speech, Trump claimed that Operation Desert Storm happened in the jungles of Vietnam.
Trump said, “In the fields and jungles of Vietnam, they delivered a swift and swiffian, It was swift and it was sweeping like nobody’s ever seen happen. A victory in Operation Desert Storm, a lot of you were involved in that. A lot of you were involved. That was a quick one.”
For the record Operation Desert Storm was part of the first Gulf War. It had nothing to do with Vietnam. The Trump campaign wants to pretend like Joe Biden is in cognitive decline, but Trump can’t make it through a single public appearance without butchering words or getting history totally wrong.
Trump is losing it. He seems to think that it is 1968, and he’s Richard Nixon, but the reality is that Donald Trump is in clear cognitive decline. The President Of The United States doesn’t know the difference between the Gulf War and the Vietnam War.
