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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
