Raptor Witness Posted July 27, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Ron DeSantis' 2024 road just hit a major Covid-19 bump - CNN 7-26-2021 For the past year or so, Ron DeSantis has been on a roll. The Florida Republican governor's laissez-faire approach to Covid-19 -- and the relatively low number of cases and deaths in such a large and elderly state -- turned him into a celebrity in the same circles where Donald Trump is a secular saint. Except that, suddenly, Florida's numbers don't look so good with the Delta variant of the coronavirus punishing the state. As the Wall Street Journal wrote over the weekend: "The state accounts for one in five new infections in the U.S. and logged 73,181 cases over the past week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Haven't you been insinuating that covid is not dangerous and that it's a scam? As such why would you say that? They are spreading something you say isn't an actual risk. It is when you can voice your political views is it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flip flop is that when Trump saw to it to get a vaccine done by the end of the year, the haters were saying not to take it because it was a "Trump vaccine". Remember that? They were all saying there was no way they would take it. Now, it's the other way around. It's Trump hating insanity on full display. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at how much devastation the Trump hating hypocrisy is leaving in its wake. Ron DeSantis isn’t Donald Trump. Google in quotation marks: “The peril to come will be directly proportional to the denial of the power at hand.” If you deny the plague, the peril increases. It’s a fundamental principle of how a real plague works. Quote If you see lightning and do not hear the thunder, will you fear it enough to save your life? If you hear the thunder, but do not see the flash, how will you know where to go to avoid the fatal strike? The wise nation sees the flash, and hears the thunder.

Although I suspect that's a long way from your record. Media isn't required to dislike Trump. Why do you think.it is? Are you another one of these sycophants who can't imagine how one could dislike Trump unless told to? You happy to have him grab your missus on the privates are you? Seriously, you reckon he's the best America has? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this thread is about how the coronavirus has hurt the chances of someone replacing Donald Trump as the Republican Party leader. Who can take the place of these men, whose brand shall be forever connected to a deadly pandemic, and in DeSantis’ case, a very sick building that showed his state little mercy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that needs to be qualified a bit. Harris said if public health officials recommended it she would be first in line. There was among some distrust for President Trump's health pronouncements. Covid would just go away. Sticking a bright light in the body would cure it. HCQ would cure it. Some means of Injecting disinfectant would cure it in a minute None of those ideas received any endorsement from medical experts. It is not necessarily being a Trump hater, just viewing his string of bad advice gives some pause. Keeping us out of new wars and allowing vaccine research to go ahead are two of the very best things Trump did as president. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it's little wonder the concentration of maskless unvaccinated are reaping the fruits of their stupidity. It's Biden's fault. Illegals are a distraction. The disease was already among us and spreading, it did not really require extra help from anybody else. People have different ideas of freedom. Some think the price of freedom entails certain responsibilities and obligations to others. Many do not believe that For some there is no link between consideration of others and personal freedom. So it is a test between those two views with very real world consequences playing out in real time. Among the unvaccinated covid will find hosts to breed and mutate. The delta variant is 40% more transmissible and about two times as fatal, still less than 4% though. There will be other variants with higher transmission rates and mortality. Refusing to wear masks and keep social distance as an insult to personal freedom will result in more rapid transmission among this group, more hospitalizations and more fatalities. Eventually a variant will arise that is more transmissible to children. Unvaccinated by necessity and maskless by choice, schools will be a hotbed of transmission. It will get to the point that children becoming infected and dying is not a rare event. Still there will be some refusing to wear masks or be vaccinated and accept the death of children as the price of freedom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
