Wot no coronavirus thread? Part 2

[Ming]

Ahhh... the old "whatever" post from Kid. Translation, Kid is wrong.

Again... MISINFORMATION FROM TRUMP vs. Actual facts
But in Kidland, the media is the one providing misinformation

And you have the White House Staffers, Secret Service, and a whole bunch of people pissed at Trump for showing his lack of concern about their health by his actions in regards to Covid.
He doesn't seem to care about spreading the disease to others.
Just more proof that the only person Trump cares about is Trump.

[Kidlicious]

He said in some populations, and you are pretending he said it generally, so whatever.

His tweet this morning...

Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu,Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!”

Actual facts...
Across the whole population, though, COVID-19 has been much deadlier. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the worst flu season in the last 10 years was 2017-2018, when an estimated 61,000 Americans died. In 2018-2019, there were 34,000 U.S. deaths attributed to influenza. In 2019-2020, there were 22,000.

And comparative fatality figures don’t tell the whole story. There is increasing evidence that some number of coronavirus survivors have symptoms including fatigue, cough and cognitive problems that last for months, and organ damage that may be permanent. Those complications generally do not arise in people who recover from the flu.

Gee... A HUGE difference between Trump and reality... in other words... LIES AND MISINFORMATION.
So on one hand, we have the media providing facts, and on the other, Trump spreading misinformation.
But you think it's the media that's the real problem.
Only in Kidland

[Kidlicious]

So, are you saying that Covid is LESS deadly than the flu?
Even though ALL THE FACTS say differently.
Trump is just flat out lying and spreading misinformation.
The Media is stating facts, and that is not misinformation.
So get your facts straight.
To ignore a pandemic sweeping across the country is what's really stupid.

Nope. Trump never said that either. That's a strawman and the media is also deploying it.

It's irrational to be afraid of dying of either the flu or Covid. That's not saying that more people die of the flu. Trump never said that.

[Kidlicious]

Gee... so now anything that goes against YOUR OPINION is a lie.
And please address Trumps current lie about the flu vs. covid.
That's a real lie. Not just something that disagrees with your OPINION.

The death toll has nothing to do with the rationality of fear.

It's the third leading cause of death now in America.
And it's not HYSTERIA to be concerned about it in the MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC.
210,000 plus Americans have died. While that may seem "low" to you, that's a lot of dead Americans.
So it is NOT irrational to be concerned about a deadly disease that is still spreading across the country.

And I see you haven't even bothered to address Trumps continued lying and spreading of misinformation in regards to Covid vs. the Flu
You keep making claims about the so called lies of democrats and the press, but one of the biggest liars and spreader of misinformation is Trump.

He isn't spreading misinformation. The media is by repeating the desth toll.

Look, people are stupid. You have to tell them to either be afraid or not be afraid. If you tell them that it's rational to be afraid when it isn't a bunch will be afraid.

[Kidlicious]

The lie is that it's rational to be afraid of Covid.

[Ming]

Here's another example, literally telling you that you are supposed to be afraid because of the death toll. Liars. How do they get away with this wickedness?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ll/3634631001/

Please point out all the lies in that story, and cite the proof to back it up.
Good luck.

It's the president who is lying, but you won't even address that. Talk about wickedness.

Gee... presenting the facts is fearmongering in Kidland.
And I don't think it's "good to scare people", again, please post where I have said so... oh, that's right you can't. Just more Kid BS.
I do think people need ACTUAL FACTS and not the BS Trump is providing.
I think people should be worried about Covid since it continues to spread across America and IS NOT GOING AWAY, as Trump and is minions keep wanting to believe.
People are dying, and it's now the third leading cause of death in America.
So no, it's not irrational to be afraid of a deadly disease...
And posting facts is not fearmongering.

Yes it is irrational when the chance of death is extremely low. And you keep repeating the number of diagnosed deaths as though that makes it rational to be afraid. It doesn't make it rational. It looks like hysteria.

[Ming]

TRUMP IS STILL LYING.
The flu is NOT MORE DEADLY than Covid. FACT

And yes, you do need to be concerned about COVID. It's still spreading and not going away anywhere in the near future.
And unlike the President, most Americans don't have the luxury of having a full team of doctors and the best possible medical care at their beck and call.
But I guess only in Kidland is a pandemic something to not worry about.

[Kidlicious]

Of course it's true that you don't need to be afraid of Covid. It's a lie to fearmonger. So the Democrats are the liars.

So now you want Trump to lie?
