Poll of the Day > The Trump Administration has ordered 100,000 BODY BAGS in response to COVID-19!

(+) Yeah! (+)

The Trump Administration is not waiting on this one after Trump himself said it's going to be a "very bad" 2 weeks for the number of deaths as the Pentagon has already ordered 100,000 BODY BAGSG as Dr. Fauci predicts the deaths will be 100-200K americans killed from this virus..

More than 4800 americans have been killed so far as the numbers keep rising as preparations are being made to double up on hospitals being overwhelmed from COVID-19 patients

FEMA did not have a specific delivery date for the military style remains pouches sources tell Bloomberg

They are seeing green nylon body bags usually distributed in WAR ZONES which measure up to 94 inches by 38 inches

After it was predicted the toll would be more than quadruple from the current approx 46,000, Trump told the country to brace for a tough time ahead as more than 200,000 americans have been infected

Would you blame Trump's inaction if the deaths reach 100,000+?

Nope. Why? Despite his or a state's lockdowns people are still going out. They chose for themselves. Try harder next time.

Nah

Each state is doing their own thing, whether they're succeeding or not is up to them

The President is there to give updates as a country etc

Also - probably go ahead and double that amount lest people complain there arent enough bags to go around.. better to have them and not need them then need them and not have them

Trump: "I am the most prepared for this disaster. I have pre-ordered one million caskets from Amazon made of the finest balsa wood from the tremendous people at Walmart"

Trump is the reason so many people think this isn't a big deal

Trump told people to not go out and a lot of people aren't obeying him so i don't see how that's his fault

It's not, but because the haters have failed every other attempt at bashing Trump, they keep finding new and equally pathetic excuses.

Trump is the worst president in American history, and at this point if you still support him, you're an irrdeemable ignorant moron and a shit stain excuse for a human being.

Trump has made literally thousands of actions and statements that would have ensured that anyone in any other educated, professional setting get fired.

You have a president that is fucking over his greatest allies and propping up the most heinous, evil dictators on the planet in a time where tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of his own people are going to die.

Go fuck yourself, Trump supporters.

Let's not pretend that Trump didn't sit on his thumb during the initial stages of the outbreak. I don't blame him for the deaths but he had some culpability that's for sure.

Among other things

Trump absolutely should be held responsible. He knew about this since January (or earlier) and called it a hoax instead of doing anything to prepare or mitigate it.

---

Remember like 5 days ago when Trump said that if the death count from this was under 100,000 (already a high number compared to if he had acted quickly and decisively) in the U.S., then he did a good job?
He sure hopes you don't!

Not to mention repeatedly bemoaning the effect on the economy and talking about trying to "re-open" the country within a couple weeks...mere days after the half assed "lockdown" even began.

Trump spent weeks telling people it was a hoax and attacking everyone who told him it wasn't.

I believe you're misinformed. Trump suspended travel from China in january, Meanwhile Pelosi and deblasio were telling people to go out and celebrate the Chinese lunar new year

Not his first travel ban.

He factually referred to it as a hoax, regardless of anything else he did. You're just bringing up irrelevant shit to deflect from shit that doesnt fit your narrative.

My body bag stock is about to kill it

Testing is still a joke. There are 367 confirmed positives in the state of Nebraska. But they've only tested 6000 people out of over 1.9 million!

This is the funniest thing to me. Democrats were actually the ones who treated this like a joke in the beginning by and large and belittled the travel ban and some even called it racist

I didn't see him refer to the virus as a hoax. He referred to the panic buying and mass hysteria as a hoax. I even saw one lady near the beginning of the Panic buying buying toilet paper and she said she didn't even know why but the TV told her to

trump still thinks covid-19 is a democratic hoax, lmao.

He never said it was a hoax. He said that the fabricated mass hysteria to panic shop was a hoax.

This was literally Trump a month ago.

"B...b.....but....Both sides!" is my guess, by quoting a bunch of random headlines from various news outlets, since according to Republicans, all news is left-wing?
Even though most of those sites weren't the most reputable, some were right-wing, some headlines were technically accurate (like the one about "doing the same thing you do every winter" -- basic hygiene is the most important tool to fight the spread aside from social distancing), or how many of those headlines were from opinion pieces. Even left-leaning news sites like Washington Post allow some of the nuttiest extreme right wing people to post opinion pieces.
Or how taking a headline on its own completely out of context of the article it's attached to can be misleading.

In other words... whataboutism.

Oh, in the disease's early stages, comparing it to the flu was pretty reasonable. Many people did so then, including myself. That was less in the "it's not a big deal stop worrying" sense, though, and more in the "you're currently at more danger from the flu so go get a flu shot if you're really concerned about your safety" in an effort to assuage fears among laypeople (fears which were manifesting as racism and xenophobia in many cases). Anyone who knew what they were talking about always knew it was going to be a significant deal for public health agencies, as is the case with all emergent epidemics (and the fact that public health agencies make a big deal out of it is why most emergent epidemics don't turn into anything that laypeople have to worry significantly about).

The problem with how Trump has handled it is not simply that he compared it to the flu or said it was nothing most people needed to worry too much about. It's that he continued saying such things well after the WHO was saying it was actually a big deal that warranted a serious response from the public, undermining their advice in ways that are still resonating (see: Duckbear's headline from last week that 9 of the 10 states with the fastest-growing case numbers voted Trump in 2016) and slowing the response from the public during the critical early stages of the pandemic. He's been two steps behind since the outbreak started, and there's no excuse for that.
