By the way, I’m putting the big blame on the media, but Joel Pollak is correct to remind us that Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are doing it too. He’s says what they’re doing is disqualifying. I agree. I’d add that this shows that they are evil people (something I’ve been saying about Bernie for years, given his love for the second deadliest political ideology in the world, with Islam being the first). . .

The media’s lies about Trump and coronavirus are destructive, even as Trump does his best to slow the disease, allowing time for cures to be developed.
"At the beginning of March, President Trump said that, while the experts predict a 4.5% mortality rate, he thinks it will be lower than that. He noted that a lot of people have very mild cases, so they’re not counted when calculating the mortality rate. Some, he said, have infections so mild, they don’t realize they’ve got coronavirus and they go on with their normal lives. In the context of that statement (which has proven to be correct), Trump said this: “We have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around or even going to work, some of them go to work.”
"When I read that, what I understand Trump to have said is that our mortality rates our skewed upwards because, while we know coronavirus is contagious, we have no way of counting the cases that are so mild people go on with their ordinary lives, including going to work. If you’re only guesstimating the number of people who don’t show up at the ER, you’re going to have a seriously inflated mortality rate.
"But that’s not what the media said Trump said (and no links to scum media):
MSN: “Trump Tells People With Coronavirus To Go To Work”
Syracuse.com: “President Trump makes false claims about coronavirus, suggests you can ‘go to work’ if you’re sick”
Common Dreams: “As CDC Says ‘Do Not Go to Work,’ Trump Says Thousands With Coronavirus Could Go to Work and Get Better
‘These are really dangerous lies.'”
‘These are really dangerous lies.'”
Huffington Post, citing that famous medical expert, Chris Hayes: “Donald Trump Triggers Furious Backlash Over ‘Go To Work’ With Coronavirus Claim: “DEFINITELY DO NOT GO TO WORK IF YOU HAVE CORONAVIRUS PLEASE AND THANK YOU,” MSNBC’s Chris Hayes responded to Trump’s suggestion.”
"You have to be seriously stupid to think that Trump instructed people sick with a very contagious disease to “go to work.” Again, in context, it was obvious that he was saying that we’re undercounting coronavirus because some people have cases so mild that they go to work without realizing they’re sick and, therefore, they never get into the system to be counted." . . .
The media’s hysteria about coronavirus is intended to destroy the American economy because media types are focused single-mindedly on defeating Trump.. . . "It’s late, so I’m not going to bother citing articles. You’ve seen it for yourself and you can easily confirm that the media attacks every single thing Trump has done. He’s racist, he’s paranoid, he’s lazy, he’s trying to hide things, he doesn’t know what he’s doing, he’s making political calculations, he’s firing important people, he’s not listening to the people around him. This is Trump’s Hurricane Katrina. PEOPLE WILL DIE!! "That is not reporting; it’s propaganda, and it’s done with a single aim: To keep Trump from being reelected."
