Seoul, Tokyo, same amirite"I know South Korea better than anybody," Trump said when responding to the question from PBS NewsHour's Yamiche Alcindor. "It's a very tight — do you know how many people are in Seoul? Do you know how big the city of Seoul is? 38 million people. That's bigger than anything we have."
black lady is completely under his skin
Trump has trouble reading
Just the flex attempt on mean black lady itself is hilarious. The fact it failed miserably is banderas.gif.
That’s nationwide. They’re only testing if you’re having fever, chills, AND shortness of breath due to protocol from the CDC unless you’re a celebrity.
Called it guys. ’s about to happen.
He was thinking of Tokyo's metro population, which is 38 million.
Yeah, I had to Google it. Yeah, I laughed.
If it wasn’t for the healthcare team we have in this country with the nurses and doctors, our death rate would be a lot higher. Only Germany has a lower death rate and that’s because they don’t have incompetent organizations like the CDC or FDA limiting the amount of testing being done.
In your field, is every "climate scientist" of equal competence and objectivity? I doubt that.
I'll just ask you a simple question: Why do you believe the 4 mortality rate (that is what the Imperial study assumes 60 million/3 million) when it has been clearly stated time after time after time by pretty much EVERY leading expert that the amount of mild and asymptomatic cases that have gotten the virus and recovered could be underestimated by a factor or 5 or even 10.
https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/17/...reliable-data/This evidence fiasco creates tremendous uncertainty about the risk of dying from Covid-19. Reported case fatality rates, like the official 3.4% rate from the World Health Organization, cause horror — and are meaningless.
Projecting the Diamond Princess mortality rate onto the age structure of the U.S. population, the death rate among people infected with Covid-19 would be 0.125%. But since this estimate is based on extremely thin data — there were just seven deaths among the 700 infected passengers and crew — the real death rate could stretch from five times lower (0.025%) to five times higher (0.625%).

38m is Seoul's elevation, seems equally plausible Trump Googled Seoul, saw 38m and though that was a population figure. You could be right, though.
Just copying Hater since it makes him feel better about himself.
Already replied
New week, new talking points.
What are you saying is starting to happen?
Germany is lagging FR and IT
1000s of USA doctors, nurses, grocery staff will get infected, maybe die for lack of PPE. Italy has gone full-body HAZMAT, USA is using scarves, bandanas, re-using infected masks
lol oblivious racist
For the record, I hope social distancing is bending the curve. I just think it's too soon to tell what trajectory we're on. The USA is large, countermeasures are not uniform, and COVID-19 seems likely to come at us in successive waves until there's a vaccine.
I remember the narrative of these idiots supposedly "trusting" Trump so much they self medicated on fish cleaner. They didn't even have symptoms. Yeah, your bull narrative collapsed but I hope you had fun pushing it so you could blame Trump.
The flag you're waving is white too.
Some Trump supporters fear coronavirus lockdowns are undermining ‘America’s masculinity’
A common theme emerging from Trump’s evangelical base, such as Christian pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth, is that
people who practice social distancing are “sissies” and “pansies” who have been “neutered.”
this kind of rhetoric frames the
protective measures as a “threat not only to America’s rugged individualism but to masculinity.”
“It grew out of the backlash to the New Deal and the social safety net it created,
which conservatives viewed as
anti-American,
anti-capitalist, and
emasculating—
a challenge to what the historian Richard Hofstadter once called
‘the virile prerogatives of enterprise,'”

The Conservative Campaign Against Safety
How did we get to the point where ministers, the president, many Republican politicians, and a variety of media outlets are
calling for people to risk death to save the economy?
