This reprehensible tweet will get a lot of people (in the thousands?) killed. A favorite talking point of the Covid deniers that implies “cowardice” for people that exercise common sense precautions.

BTW, Trump surrogates have already started attacking out-of-touch Biden for not having contracted Covid, unlike the hero of the working class who now has experience from the trenches.
That’s just fucking disgusting
If you downplay the risks and talk about acceptable loss of life, while trying to sound like Fat Tony from Frelinghuysen Ave, then run to the hospital when you get a little sniffle, you are a coward.
Politicians know that spikes in cases is political dynamite for their opponents and a death can be the thing that kills their career so they manage it accordingly.
People are going to see a fat guy in one of the most at risk age groups walk out of hospital in a couple of days and think they have been duped.
BTW, I’m not suggesting he faked this illness and didn’t need to go to hospital but tell me that his interaction with the public and media isn’t straight out of the WWE playbook for a wrestler’s return.
Well, 209k (and counting) weaklings pruned out!
You’re a coward if you go to the hospital? I don’t see how the first part of your statement has anything to do with cowardice. Running to the hospital, alone, would have to make you a coward in order for your statement to make sense. Now, if he told people not to go to the hospital and then went himself, I can see that making him a hypocrite.
But people starving to death in other countries because farming and transportation is slowed down and so many people have no source of income is acceptable.
Case study, particularly recent ones, are the most powerful evidence for most.
That’s why some idiot can sell his stupid fitness scheme despite us knowing it’s not going to work for most people.
Trump is just the culmination of the The Age of the Salesman - as the ultimate Salesman, we got what we deserved.
Let’s hope not. I think we can all agree we need wool over our eyes.
Yep but people are more scared of the short term problem than the long term problem, as they always have been.
Apparently the steroid they gave Trump to help him rexover increases aggression and risk taking. Could be an interesting few weeks lol
That’s exactly why it’s disgusting. It’s not the “leaving the Great WR medical center” or the “feeling good” part.
And you’re dead on with the WWE storyline. Not sure whether to laugh or curse lol.
“Fuck it, hold my beer”. 
It’s already happening. I linked a recent article from Time somewhere in the forum (can’t find it right now, I will try later) saying the increase in the number of people dying from starvation around the world since the COVID bullshit began in March is more than double the number dying from the virus. The cure is twice as bad as the disease. The vast majority of deaths from COVID are the elderly or those with serious pre-existing health complications, starvation will kill anyone.
This is INCREDIBLY hard to measure with any amount of precision. That’s a hard sell to me.
By the end of the year 12,000 people per day could die from hunger linked to COVID-19, potentially more than will die from the disease itself.
It looks like some of these articles have been taken down, I can’'t find the one from Time and when I search “time.com covid starvation” in Google a link comes up from Yahoo:
Covid Threatens Bigger Death Toll From Starvation Than Infection
https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/hunger-threatening-kill-more-people-040109775.html
The link doesn’t work though, Yahoo took it off. Any ideas why?
See my post before this one. But even if it’s not totally accurate, is it acceptable to starve millions of people to death for a virus that kill a fraction of a percent of people?
You need a longer timeline to properly analyze the death toll of The Rona. Let’s say some guy gets it, sniffles one time, thinks he gets over it, gets brain cancer 40 years from now, then dies. What killed him? Obviously, The Rona, but it may not be recorded that way.
Another example: We believe Abraham Lincoln was killed by a gunshot. Was he tested for The Rona? No. He had the exact same symptoms as all Rona death cases: his heart stopped beating and his brain stopped functioning. Obviously, The Rona.
It’s media-induced mass hysteria, coronaphobia.
