Hind sight being 2020 just how badly did this guy stick his foot in his mouth?

On Jan 21st he said "Americans Don't Need To Worry About Coronavirus" (which he repeated a few times over several more days.

On Feb 8th he said "Danger of getting coronavirus now is just minusculely low"

On Feb 29th  he tells the Today Show that there is NO NEED for the public to change their behavior over concern for Coronavirus:

On Mar 9th he recommends taking a cruise, tells Forbes Magazine that if you’re healthy, cruise ships are safe:

These are just a few of dozens and he has been pretty much consistently wrong every step of the way....including later changing up to predicting vastly higher deaths than we have seen.

Yet people keep buying into what he says......Historically he has a pretty poor record as well regarding previous outbreaks. Given all that I take some issue with Trump standing on the same stage with him over and over.....

I just know what I would do.....and what I would expect Trump to do. Which is kick his ass off the stage instead of let the fool continue misleading the public....

Interesting that every other post for a while here was "Dr Fauci this and Dr Fauci that" coming from the left here.....yet not a single peep from them regarding what I posted in this topic

You are full of shit Rod.....2 of the 4 links are video of him saying exactly what is claimed.....no misquote or taking out of context lol

As for the two guys.....around here we classify people like that as Darwin's Theory at work......

That pretty clearly does not say, "I don't think he did it."

No I didnt.....your 1st sentence indicated you believed he didnt.......I simply questioned what the rest of that rhetoric was for when you indicated right off the bat she was a nothing burger lol

Boy the panic is running deep on the Dim side of the fence lately LOL

I have no problem granting Biden the benefit of the doubt in the absence of hard evidence.....That said there already exists FAR MORE corroborating evidence than there ever was with Kavannah of which there was NONE....

I DO however have a real appreciation of the irony that Biden is now desperately trying to live down his words ie "Women have a right to be believed".....which he has now had to amend with "unless they are talking about me" LOL

Polis is moving contrary to the strategy favored by the big D governors of the US, and he is informing his state re-opening strategy with the opinions of local public health experts who are well aware of the situation in Colorado. 

Jim

I doubt any states, even Georgia and Texas, are simply ending mitigation.  Let me know if I am wrong about that.

I wont speak for Texas but you certainly are not wrong about GA.......There is a well thought out strategy and timeline in place.....and the daily reports are still showing a rapid decline in infections to date..... BTW this info at the link is the sole source for the GA World-o-meter reports. There is a chart about 1/2 way down the page that ranges from Feb 1st to today that reflects the figures "COVID-19 Cases Over Time"....The last 4 days does appear to denote a leveling off from 164 to 36 to 20 to 18 (it is a mouse over active report with extended data)

Further down the page is another active chart "Confirmed COVID-19 Deaths Over Time" that also reflects a rapid decline in CoVid confirmed deaths as well.....
