President Donald Trump falsely claimed on Monday night that the COVID-19 pandemic has had virtually no impact on young Americans in his continued efforts to downplay the virus.
Not even a mention that there is a specific disease attacking children who’ve had Covid with 19 deaths and counting.
Has anyone told him that he’s “elderly.”
A lot of his supporters are going to start dying of those " other things" starting in 2-3 weeks
This looks like it’s a misreading of the chart? The all cause mortality of the age group is 20k, the COVID releated deaths are just under 100.
And, there’s still no particularly good information of the likelihood and type, of long term bodily damage in people of all ages.
It’s not surprising, given the focus has been on reducing spread and mortality in a new disease, but having only unsystematized evidence doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
I’d say that that’s the conclusion Donnie is pushing, but it’s not: he’s flat out lying to sell the behavior and politics he wants people to adopt. (ed.)
And he claims we know the disease. Bull fucking shit. We know more, but there are still huge questions, particularly about long-haul victims and the possibility of any dormant future complications.
I’m tired of this game. Can we play something else?
I have a niece who is under 40, previously healthy, and has not recovered after 6 months.
Trump is just the cruelest person imaginable. No matter how many people are sick or dead, he’ll just say they were weak. Our eugenicist in chief.
Nah. Haven’t you heard about his good genes?
This mashup of Risk, Clue, Monopoly and Jenga is getting really old.
Reporter Julia Ioffe responds to his cruelty.
I’m 37, was in great health when I caught #COVID19, had no underlying conditions. I was sick for 5 weeks and came out the other end with partially collapsed lungs. https://t.co/kspy9FnWLb

Yeah Trump, tell it to the “young” Ironman athlete from Minnesota who damn near died from Covid 19:
I don’t know what he professes to believe, but the amounts of money and effort put into protecting him from infection say that he’s scared shitless.
Not that that’s causing him to pull back on putting other people’s lives at risk.
To my mind, that makes him a suitable candidate for a desperate try at intubation.
A 6-year-old girl died recently. It wrings your heart, if you have one. He does not, and he describes the world as he wishes it were.
ETA I went and found her picture, to show the person he’s erasing with his “virtually nobody.” But I couldn’t do it. Couldn’t do it.
Liar. Shameless liar. Damned shameless liar.
Actor Nick Cordero died -age 41
I hate to disagree with you, but I think it is more forthrightly dishonest and malicious than that: I think he describes the world as he wants us to believe it is.
I don’t think there’s any evidence that he’s personally suffering from the delusions he pushes on the credible.
A truly Evil person
