President Trump is an extremely smart man who calibrates his speech to about the seventh-grade level in order to make sure all Americans, not just excessively verbal college graduates, understand him. His uncomplicated speech patterns lead leftists to the erroneous conclusion that Trump is stupid. That mistake, plus Trump Derangement Syndrome, explains why leftists instantly denigrated the predictions Trump made when the virus first broke in America.
Before Sunday, of Trump’s three most significant predictions, two proved correct. Now there’s news out of England that the virus’s low infection rate is making it hard to put together a vaccine trial

He knows it is hype and not different from the normal virus. Who should take extra precautions are the elderly and those with underlying conditions.

The man is phenomenal and has a survival instinct that has seen him through everything the Left has thrown at him and us. Reelect Fo Fi!

Was talking with the wife yesterday. I still maintain, that since Jan/Feb: WHERE IS ALL THE SICKNESS? I mean work, family, church, stores. No coughs, no sneezes... This was even before masks and social distancing™ came in vogue? Anyone?

I think President Trump is very wise. I wish he would trust his gut more. He has followed the advice of experts and some people he trusted that has not worked out well for him. He tries to be fair and give friends who have a different political view the benefit of the doubt. They might mean well but their ideology is toxic. i implore you, do not take the advice of a democrat.

#5, I know more than a few people who have had the virus. Some got very sick. Some were asymptomatic. One died at age 24, but was morbidly obese. Another who didn't have the virus, but owned a small business and had a family to support, committed suicide. But yeah, hardly any of the pop-up hospitals were used. Do you know how I determined this was political? The people in my small office who are scared to go back to work are Democrats. The Conservatives are chomping at the bit to start working again.

masks are fashion now. Virtue signalers all of them. I have a pretty far left mask freak girlfriend who has two 85 year old parents...I get that 100%. But if you bring up numbers to her or signs things are getting better...she doesn't want to hear it because "orange man bad". And she's about ready to get dumped, besides having a pretty nice can.

1. Fatality rate NOT 3.4%, but 0.26 %. Trump correct.
2. HCQ+Zinc, when used as it's supposed to be (at onset of symptoms, or same day as testing+) IS a game-changer. Trump correct.
3. Virus naturally declines as warm weather sets in. Trump said April, but it's happening in May. We've had a cool Spring. Trump substantially correct.
AND 4. Trump said cut off fights from China. He was correct on that, too.
It's actually rather remarkable. Where's the betting booth? My money's on Trump.

When you see that Los Angeles county has not reported any, zero, recoveries, just the new cases after testing only those who have shown enough symptoms that meet a certain criteria, you know somethings else is in play.
It's sad, we tout having all of this technology, and sophistication, but can't get good, clean data.
People will look to those same agencies, CDC and WHO, as not being reliable and it could have drastic consequences some day. But, they will be viewed as the boy who cried wolf, I'm afraid.

#5, hubby and I have had a similar conversation. Neither of us knows anyone who has had the virus. We also don’t know anyone who knows anyone who has had it. We’ve started asking everyone we know and meet and no one answers yes. One friend asked her postman and he has been asking everyone on his route and no one knows anyone who has had it.
All of that is one reason that I refuse to wear a mask. Charleston is open and my sister and I are going downtown tomorrow to hit all of the big sales and have lunch - the restaurants are all open.

There are a lot of us out here with uncomplicated speech patterns as well as not degreed up to our knees who know more than the Harvard types, who think they should rule the world. My grandparents (grandmother, star point guard graduated from 11th grade--no 12 grades at the time) were some of the most intelligent, uncomplicated speaking folks with plain old common sense who could beat any Harvard grad in a debate on a bad day, with nothing but natural skill. The Harvard types would think them dumb until they got home and had a moment to reflect.

How would you feel being in front of a judge who starts making guesses and offering speculation about the outcome of your case before the evidence has been submitted and fully argued? Judges who do that are roundly criticized by counsel and often reversed by the court of appeal, which over time has lost confidence in the judge to have studied the evidence and the law.
Presidents likewise are more credible when they make policy decisions on the basis of written recommendations from sources who have studied the issues and state the pros, cons and unknowns. When presidents weigh in on a subject on the basis of raw data, unfinished recommendations or formative discussions with staff, they risk making premature statements and suggestions that may later have to be discarded. Barack Obama famously did that with the arrested Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates and later with Treyvon Martin. Trump has does it by tweeting such pronouncements as defense policy changes before discussing them with the Secretary of Defense. Impromptu remarks about serious subjects are a good way to lose public confidence, regardless of how much a president's political base might love them. The White House press room is not a college dorm (regardless of how immature some correspondents behave). No corporate CEO or military general casually weighs in on subjects at a press briefing. Three years into a presidential term is too long to be habitually speaking off the cuff about matters that are as yet uncertain.
