trump knows he is behind in the polls, so this is his make or break strategy to turn it around. If he agreed with the dems now, he would be admitting they were right all along so that's just not a route he can take at this stage. the one he has chosen is his only path as he had already bet everything on it.

As if he wasn't maniacal enough before now he thinks he's invincible! :/

he said he might be immune

but i think to be immune you first have to not get the virus

all the voices we are hearing at the moment are saying immunity is short term at best even with a vaccine, so unless he plans a monthly injection of the new super drug (which actually wouldn't surprise me) he could get it again in a few months time

Dead right.
He'll be possibly presenting himself as some superhero.

It has a death rate of like 0.1%, and so unless you are vulnerable it’s extremely extremely unlikely to impact you at all.

If people choose to be unhealthy then they are at worse risk, but people making the choice to eat badly/not exercise/stay fit shouldn’t allow the rest of society to suffer imo

Tell the families of the million people who have died that it's been blown out of proportion.

Million people out of almost 8 billion In a year... that’s about 0.01% of the population..

Any death is a big deal personally, but you can’t sit here and act like the world needs stopping. What’s next, telling the world to lockdown and ban all coverages because tens of millions of people are dieing from lung cancer because of smoking Each year

...well I guess that my thoughts are...that 0.01% when applied to the population is an awful lot of lives and an awful lot of deaths that could have been prevented if all possible precautions were taken as medically advised....this virus needs the world to comply with ...it needs the non vulnerable to help preserve life for the vulnerable wherever possible...and it won’t always be possible, I know...but there won’t be many of us that don’t have ‘vulnerable’ in our lives, either with friends or family...and we hope that others around us will comply to help to preserve their lives...

My mum said something interesting - if it was a mild dose, or at least one he shrugs off easily, it'll reinforce the idea that Covid is really minor. She's not a psycho so she didn't wish him dead or to be floored long term, but she hopes it's bad enough for him not to dismiss it

These numbers include death, violence, disease and famine, as well as many other causes of death.

like what Joey said, it is not just about the deaths, also how it leaves people with disabilities, terminal illnesses, requiring new organs, more need for transplants

working together to beat corona, means we can prevent that suffering for many people

corona does not care wether you are left or right wing, corona affects all of us

we don't even know what the long term effects are on people that report next to no symptoms yet. Sometimes these things don't show up for years

Oh crumbs.
Bringing in the religious topic too.

He'll stoop to any truly lowest level to present himself as some ' anointed' one.

A blessing from God..
Really.
Yet people admire this pompous individual.

and now Chris Cuomo is getting some hate too on youtube, just because he said trump's diagnosis of covid is fake, which can have some truth, coming from a covid survivor
