Katrina and covid 19 expose their complete and total  ineptitude.

Trump is lining his sights on the Governors, watch...Except for Florida of course.

You only get your news from PMS-DNC!  

But looking at the numbers this is what's interesting.
We tested double what Italy tested. We have more then double of the COVID19 cases as Italy, which makes sense.
Our mortality rate is 2.5% of the cases. As time goes I think the mortality rate will diminish.. But the number are striking similar to Italy. Big problem is that we don't know the real numbers due to insufficient testing...we just don't know.

If the Italian mortality rate is approx 12.5% and the U.S. is approx 2.5%, how would our numbers be "strikingly similar to Italy?"

Good lord are you an idiot.  

Our mortality rate is about to spike as NY, Detroit, and New Orleans are about to run out of ventilators and doctors will be forced to give pain meds and comfort care to people that otherwise could have been saved.  And that's just the first wave of cities.  Then we'll see about the cities in Georgia, Florida and Texas that will follow shortly after that.

How many Emmys has Hannity won?

We are not adding 50k new infections per day. Yesterday was 32k genius.

Oh.  My.  God.  If you really want to quibble...per the CDC...the number of newly reported cases between April 2nd and April 3rd is 37,926.  So just under 38K.  So we're both wrong.  There.  But I noticed you failed to respond to the fact that the US is at 38K infections per day and climbing while Italy is at less than 5K per day and dropping which illustrates the ridiculousness of the point you are making.

We also don’t know the real numbers with regard to coronavirus “related” deaths. Although there currently are attempts to standardize criteria to define Covid19 as a specific disease entity, individual coroners are still faced with “listing the cause of death”. For example, it’s an easy call if a young 35 year old with no other health issues, contracts the virus and then dies of respiratory failure. But what about the 85 year old in a nursing home who has COPD or congestive heart failure who then unfortunately gets the coronavirus and succumbs. I guess you could say it’s the feather that breaks the camel’s back, but can you say that the coronavirus is the “cause” of death; or even how “related” it is? I think this is why we’re getting various estimates from different entities. It’s not like the NFL, where if two linemen simultaneously sack the quarterback, they each get credited with half a sack. There’s no way we can apportion a numerical percentage to the various disease entities when a person dies.

Let's say the 85 yo, who's pretty fucked up..So if I put a pillow over her and suffocate her to death, Did I commit murder? Or was she a goner anyways so, just fuck it?? Do I get a "Get out of jail" card?

I am well aware snowflake liberals feel the need to give other liberals awards to make them feel all warm and cozy. Duh.

A better question is do you withhold treatment from someone whose chances of survival are poor so as to give it to someone whose chances are better? That’s assuming of course that you only have a limited treatment modality available. It’s called triage. Hopefully we won’t come to that in this current crises in this country. I think there were some references on this board to articles that said Italy had to address that.

It's already come to that.  Hospitals in Detroit have already had their ethics committees draft protocols on how to decide.  Hospitals in NY are already going 2 to a ventilator out of desperation.  Hopefully the new supplies that are arriving will be deployed in time.    

...and Jared "Go Fuck Yourselves, It's OUR Equipment" Kushner"

This one has his first posts on TER(using this name) today yet he has reviews going back to 2002.

while ADullerimage proves he's a partisan hack who couldn't care less about the facts.

Nope...first time poster.  Haven't ever felt the need to participate.   But this is different.  This is an area I have some degree of expertise in.  And right now ignorance of science and facts are literally costing lives and costing unnecessary economic hardship.    

not good at it

Listen...you can think what you want.  

What the hell is wrong with you?  I disagree with the actions that have been taken to address this crisis and that makes me partisan.  How sad your existence has to be that everything has to be a left wing vs. right wing issue.  Oh...haha...duller image.  Just like Sleepy Joe, and Crooked Hillary.  How original.

...Here are just a few of MANY times he's proudly referred to himself as an "asshole":

I am the “someone” who rightly pointed out you have reviews going back to 2002.

You busted ANOTHER one! His "facts" are as good as "Once" as well. Remember Once had the 34% nonsense he wouldn't dare back off of re: Trump support? LOL

And for the record I have given up trying to "discuss issues" with people with TDS, it's a complete waste of my time. I guess I will settle for name calling, AND having actual discussions with people worth talking to.

Laffy gets so excited that he has a new friend and it always ends the same way; just another fraud spouting bogus numbers with all his Trump hatred.

If you would like to prove to the class that you are not "once" just make a post using this handle on the same thread as one where "once" has posted and if your post is allowed to remain by admin then I will concede that you must be two different people. Of course if you are "once" and you do this, most likely you will lose your posting privileges for knowingly breaking the rules.

FM nailing this fraud, or BigPOS totally losing it about you calling yourself an asshole! LOL

You are whining, crying and complaining that gag has to make “everything” left vs right.

I didn't bother reading any of them, but if they reference something I actually said, than I am sure I meant whatever I said.

Post a link and I'll be happy to.  It's your challenge after wall.

There is a huge difference between dying "from" COVID and simply dying "with" COVID.  

Call me simple but....What did granny in?

Maria's death count was recalculated by Puerto Rico in order to get more MONEY. In contrast Katrina was deemed to have caused barely half as many as Maria. CLEARLY the "standards" used were not standard at all.

...They're posting on a fuckboard about a poster using an alias and openly trying to out that alias by speculating as to his real handle.  Oh, and they're being so discreet about it by only saying "Once."  They think they are not outing an alias/real handle by only saying "Once."  How clever!

...have time to search and post SIX quotes from you ALL saying the same thing. LOL

...It takes about ten seconds to do a search like I did.

The  guy is a fuck - up. The racists of America gave him presidency  because  they want to overturn  Obama's  policies, stop any civil and racial progress,  and of course they are scared as hell of the rumor  that America is getting Brown. Nobody  was willing  to do the dirty job so they were  thrilled to give it to this deranged bafoon. Well how is it working  out so far and how many of your family  member the Trump virus  killed so far.

BrokeBackStabber (a name well earned)  is now having a hissy fit over aliases.
That is pretty fucking funny too.

There were multiple studies of the hurricane aftermath and they were in general agreement about its consequences, ~3000 deaths. None of them held to "6 to 18" or even "64" deaths.  

I would say, as Happy says to me all the time that "I expected better from you" but the honest truth is that this is EXACTLY what I expected from you. It's not quite as bad as LTM quoting himself saying something once before as PROOF that it actually happened, but it's pretty close. I suppose I could simply quote Mike Pence supporting Donald Trump on an issue as PROOF that Trump was right. Nah, I'll leave the lying to you libs. You have so much practice at it.

Many Republicans thought the analyses were fine: "House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said he had no reason to doubt the official death toll, and Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) emphasized that “an independent study said thousands were lost.” Retiring Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) accused Trump of crying “fake news” because the news hurt his image. “How can you be so self-centered and try to distort the truth so much?” she said rhetorically. "It’s mind-boggling.” ...""
.
There is not one sane person that thinks the body counting should stop the moment the skies clear from the hurricane.  
.
But Trump always thinks it's about him and his image and not about planning or preparedness or saving lives or protecting the masses.

I think GaGambler have the answer. He will tell you that nurses  wearing plastic bags  on their feet, hands ,and head for  PPE, is symbolistic  of a  first world country - Under Deranged Donnie .
