Refuses to say, so far. I don't think he can explain it.
I’ve already asked for a disease deaths to terrorism deaths conversion table. No luck yet.

He was able to go to the bar on 9/11.
And lol at a Republican criticizing our country for being out of shape. Same wads who consistently vote against healthy school lunches, public transportation, bike lanes, parks, nutritional information transparency, etc etc.
Are you serious?
This means he's never going to answer.
You'd rather struggle to breathe for days and die from it than go in a few seconds?
Well, no, I mean, you could argue on a terror attack there's one or more clearly responsible person(s) to point fingers at for the incident, whereas pointing your finger at those responsible for containing a virus is a little less direct.
But as far as the casualties goes, I don't think people in either scenario wanted to die and are a victim all the same. That's why I don't understand the logic behind it.
Of course, see my previous post.
“Hehe, since I’m such a smart honest broker, maybe I can mind him by replying with the ‘are you serious’ dogwhistle in lieu of actually responding to a question I’m incapable of directly answering. That way I can convince him he’s being ridiculous for not already knowing the answer to his question even though it’s a reasonable question I don’t know how to answer”
Cowardly piece of has moved on to stalling mode.
I'd like to hear it too. Are you able to unpack your own disgust?
I suppose we could have nuked wuhan.
what a passive aggressive little cunt.
DarrinS is incapable of saying why I'm garbage for mentioning 9/11 on 9/11. The world may never know.
Not what I said.
I said people that compare disease deaths to terrorist attacks are garbage humans.
Unless you believe that a virus is a sentient evil en y.
The piece of who knowingly lied to the public for seven months and said it was just the flu and would go away on its own soon instead of doing something to combat it, leading to 200,000 American deaths, surely is.
How does that act somehow makes people dead by disease or terror feel any better? They're dead.
And how that action would be 'logical' in any sense?
I get royalties on Honest Broker™
People here are asking you why? I mean, we have to assume this proclamation came after some sort of careful thought, right?
Does not being a sentient evil en y makes death by that en y any better or worse? How so?
Honk honk!

Trump officials interfered with CDC reports on Covid-19
The politically appointed HHS spokesperson and his team demanded and received the right to review CDC’s scientific reports to health professionals.
The health department’s politically appointed communications aides have demanded the right to review and seek changes to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s weekly scientific reports charting the progress of the coronavirus pandemic, in what officials characterized as an attempt to intimidate the reports’ authors and water down their communications to health professionals.
In some cases, emails from communications aides to CDC Director Robert Redfield and other senior officials openly complained that the agency’s reports would undermine President Donald Trump's optimistic messages about the outbreak, according to emails reviewed by POLITICO and three people familiar with the situation.
CDC officials have fought back against the most sweeping changes, but have increasingly agreed to allow the political officials to review the reports and, in a few cases, compromised on the wording, according to three people familiar with the exchanges. The communications aides’ efforts to change the language in the CDC’s reports have been constant across the summer and continued as recently as Friday afternoon.

Ok, there's a moral dimension to terrorism that infectious disease, as such, lacks. So far, so good.
Unlike 9/11, the US had a bit of warning about COVID-19, we had already seen what it had done to China and Italy. While there was no way for us to avoid deaths from COVID-19, it was -- and still is -- within our power to mitigate morbidity, disability and death. Waiting too long to mitigate and then not developing a national strategy to deal with COVID-19 had a moral dimension too, and those bad decisions have resulted in avoidable death, disability and sickness. On a mass scale. And will continue to.
The WTC attacks on 9/11 undoubtedly partook of evil, but I think DJT's indifference to COVID-19's effect on anyone but himself (something you two seem to share in common) is also a species of evil. The scale of avoidable death and sickness and the fact that they were inflicted on his own country because Trump treats COVID-19 like an obstacle to reelection rather than a public health problem, arguably makes it worse than 9/11.
