Yet you've made it very clear you partly blame him because it has spread .. I don't understand this reasoning . Especially since you think it's no big deal that both his presidential opponents would have never put a travel ban in place at all,, they both said they wouldn't have . Don't you believe a no travel ban would have made the spread of the disease much worse ? If you don't then you haven't been paying close enough attention. Tulips
Yes you are correct about my assessment of our current president. And I know you don't understand. You are firm in your beliefs and I respect that. I don't think anything I say would change that or even help the current conversation. And I don't want this thread to go any further down the political path than I've already taken it. The important thing to remember is that the Health Crisis is what is important here, not the politics. It is just that politics has played a part in not getting the tests out in a timely manner to the country.
As to the Democrats running for president. What I said was all kinds of stuff is said when these people are in the mist of their campaigns. ALL politicians say things and then never follow through on everything they say. Some they will and some they won't. It is always hard to try and figure out what is real and what isn't when they are campaigning. It doesn't make it right by any stretch of the imagination. It is just how it has been done. I as I'm sure many others do, look forward to the day that changes.
From what I read, 50 to 70 percent of Americans will get the virus sooner or later. I see three scenarios. 1) You have symptoms, get the test and it's positive. You quarantine yourself for 2 weeks. 2) It's negative, you quarantine yourself anyway for 2 weeks so you don't catch it from anyone else which is why the schools are closing. 3) You have no symptoms, you don't qualify for the test, you quarantine yourself anyway for 2 weeks so you don't catch it from anyone else.
Where did you read this? I'm not at all sure it is accurate and nothing more than a guess. It isn't anything they can prove by what we have seen so far with this virus. Not even in China.

I just wanted to read what they read that told them this.

Quote - Dr. Brian Monahan, the attending physician of Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court, said he expects 70 million to 150 million people in the U.S. will become infected with COVID-19, NBC News reported Wednesday.
You do the math
Dang, I just wanted to read what they read that told them those numbers. I don't know why that is an issue.
And as to your post. You can do the math too, the numbers you stated above are NOT 70% of the people in the USA. That would be closer to 230million.
