Why did Pelosi & Cuomo & Biden call for their constituents to come outside and join the Chinese New Year celebrations in mid February after Trump shutdown travel from China on Jan 30 ?

Why was Cuomo returning covid infected war veterans to senior facilities ?

Why do you lie ?

That's what happens when you listen to the scientist (Fauci).

Tenchu's Thoughts: Coulda Shoulda Woulda

This is undoubtedly going to become a campaign issue, with weasel Democrats claiming that Trump cost lives, and fragile ego Trump claiming that the WHO and China should have known better.

First, the false narrative being pushed in the epicenter of the American coronavirus epidemic, New York City:



Can you believe this shit? New York Democrats have only themselves to blame for waiting until it was too late to issue a "shelter in place" order. There's a reason why 1/3 of all the coronavirus cases are in the NYC tri-state area.

Yet these assholes want to blame Trump for their own lack of action? They should go F themselves and the horses they rode in on.

Now to my main point.

I have a friend from high school who works for the government in forensic sciences. One of his accomplishments upon entering the job was to discover that a test being used for the Zika virus was defective. He helped to fix that problem and get more accurate results, which helped the government better track the virus as it made inroads into America.

So in terms of epidemics, he is much more of an expert than any of us on this thread.

Yet I dug up one of his social media posts from January 29:




For reference, here is a link to the article he posted. Notice how BuzzFeed News changed the title of this article after getting a LOT of flak:

Here's What We Do And Don't Know About The Deadly Coronavirus Outbreak

The point is that my friend here, who works for the government in public health and who's very JOB is to track these viruses, is on record here claiming that COVID-19 is less harmful than SARS and MERS and less deadly than the flu. Obviously he no longer believes that, but this just proves that many experts once thought COVID-19 was less serious than it turned out to be.

Remember that, you libtards, the next time you want to blame Orange Man and hold him accountable for something he said back in January 22. Remember that, you libtards, whenever you claim to be the "party of science" but never hold yourselves accountable for anything other than your typical double standards.

As for my friend, I will not reveal who he is because I have no ill will toward him. He also has a beautiful wife and two lovely young kids to support. I do believe that he made an honest mistake, and I think he knows it, too. In fact, I'm considering advising him to remove that post, since in a toxic political environment like we have today, such posts could cost him his job.

But I know that the libtards on this thread would never do me such a favor. They would not hesitate to dox me and anyone else who doesn't dance to their TDS tune. And given the "Trump Death Clock" sign in Times Square, I know that the libtards on this thread are not alone in their malice.
