    What is the value of doing this every night for hours? There's hardly that much new information every 24 hours

    7th Apr 36 deaths, 12 with no underlying conditions.

    Total 192 deaths, 55 with no underlying conditions.

    29% have no underlying condition. Of the remaining 71% with a condition a % would not be deemed "medically inappropriate".

    There is nothing wrong with my estimates. Far from "wildly incorrect".

    If you know better please provide some data.

    Your response is appreciated yet I believe my laypersons question is valid based on the numbers given.

    Ah. Just choose a random sample not the total

    And btw of the entire amount admitted to ICU 80% had an underlying condition as per Fridays briefing

    Stop making up numbers

    Because he can't hold rallies so this is his alternative.

    Ratings. People are tuning in to watch this car crash every night. Trump is relishing in the fact the ratings are so high every night.

    In an proper debate where he wouldn't be allowed to go "full Trump" I think he would look terrible!

    Didn't happen last time so even more unlikely now hes president. Biden will be eaten unfortunately for the rest of us.

    Its all about approval ratings with trump. He got a bump at the start but now he's tanking.

    It boosts king oranges ego and tricks the gormless fools that follow him into thinking he’s actually doing something

    That's the problem I think. He's such a bully he seems to be able to go into full Trump mode whenever he wants. He'll get particularly nasty and personal with Biden I feel and Biden just won't be able to deal with him. Such a vile person.

    Entertainment?

    His approval ratings are dropping

    Maybe, just maybe, Fauci is not as liberating as people think he is? I've seen very little from him to suggest he's anything but on Trump's side.

    If Fauci is trying his best to save as many people as possible (as I think he is) he has to 'play' Trump.

    None but the Trump enthusiasts love it (by that I mean the ones that don't like him). Trump obliges them

    Its not like his job is a political one, he's been doing it since 1984 and has seen many presidents come and go. Why should he have to on the same "side" as whatever president is in charge at the time? It's not his job and would be unprofessional of him

    Considering it is spreading like wildfire state to state, city to city. The leader of the free world looks sh!te in comparison of the CCP.
    Strange times. Never hear a ventilator being described as beautiful. They are testing at least.

    Well its pretty obvious the only have an interesting in knocking him and using their network to brain wash those who buy into it.


    Me I see it as it is, call bull **** from who ever, CNN when they shovel it, and Trump too,

    You have to have s special view of the world to be completely ignorant to reality and "call it" like you think you do.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,346 ✭✭✭easypazz

    CNN and also youtube.

    CNN often cut him off.

    It does show him up alright, along with his fans on here who have been uncharacteristically quite of late.

    The biggest Trump fans are the ones that can't stop talking about him.
