OT: All Things Coronavirus Covid-19 - Part VIII - MOD ADVISORY POST 1

[Fenway]

This is a trying time for all of us no matter where you live.

Right now politics should be set aside. We all have government leaders at the Federal and State/Provincial levels telling us what we must do to get through this.

Adhere to the rules below regarding discussion that is political in nature or you will be warned and permanently removed from this series of threads.

Considering we are relaxing forum rules regarding political discussion, what steps "over the line" is completely at the discretion of the moderation team. Examples of what constitutes appropriate discourse are listed below. When in doubt, don't post it.

Do not wish harm or infection on members of the public, including the press, be it an individual or network/outlet/newspaper, etc.[/B]

It is becoming apparent that threadbans/infractions aren't enough for some people. The next step is a forum ban until hockey season starts.
***
We are going to follow similar rules for this thread that exist in the COVID-19 forum.

You may critique the response of government but don't make it political.

Posts attributing motives because it involves this or that political party/politician/ideology will not be tolerated.

Examples:

Allowed: "Trump doesn't know what he's doing, the response was too little too late"

Not Allowed: "The only reason the response was so slow was to keep the stock prices high so he can get reelected"

Allowed: "The media is over-reporting this and it's going to make things worse"

Not Allowed: "The liberal media is over-reporting this because they're trying to bring down Trump"

Miracle cures, home remedies, and medical advice should not be posted.

And that’s where Trump’s problem lies. There is literal video of who was on the record when and for Trump to be pointing the fingers at somebody blowing the call when intel was warning him about this in 2019 is LOL funny

President Trump has lost an estimated $1 billion because of the coronavirus shutdowns, according to Forbes - The Boston Globe

President Trump, whose businesses have been hit by coronavirus-related shutdowns, has lost an estimated $1 billion in recent weeks, according to Forbes magazine, which released its annual ranking of the richest people in the world on Tuesday.

As the coronavirus spreads across the US, many of Trump’s resort properties have either closed or are operating with a skeleton staff as bookings plummet, according to the New York Times. The paper reported this week that the Trump Organization is in discussions with its creditors about delaying some loan payments.

As a result, Trump’s net worth is estimated to have fallen to $2.1 billion, down from $3.1 billion in early March, according to Forbes.

Trump was far from alone among those on the list in seeing their wealth plunge as the coronavirus wreaked havoc on financial markets: Investor Warren Buffet lost $15 billion, according to the magazine’s estimates, going from $82.5 billion in 2019 to $67.5 billion in 2020. Locally, Fidelity CEO Abigail Johnson is estimated to have lost about $4.8 billion, and now has an estimated net worth of $10.8 billion, Forbes said.

WHO was still saying the virus wouldn’t spread to humans in mid January.

WHO was still saying the virus wouldn’t spread to humans in mid January.

correct, meanwhile the guy you tried to discredit a medical doctor for was saying we would be fine by Easter a week and a half ago when there was a 0.0% chance of that happening. So who has missed the ball more? That’s why it’s ridiculous for him to be pointing fingers.


Nobody is saying the WHO doesn’t deserve criticism. It’s just absolutely preposterous for Trump to be accusing anybody else of minimizing the threat. Look in the mirror. He doesn’t have a shred of accountability in his body.
