"Herd Mentality"

Florida, of all places. And one in which DeSantis ordered Covid data of certain school districts withheld. I live in a community similar to a cross section of older Trumptoids and younger ones seen in that Target store. We've got the third highest outbreak of covid cases of the cities within LA county and I was at UCLA medical today in Santa CLarita where they've got a Covid testing site in the parking lot. The testees look a lot like those in that Target store...

Why don't you wear a mask mr. president?

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Trump's responses were right down there with, "Herd Immunity".
I did take a bit of offense to the african american lady who asked a good question about pre-existing conditions but then threw in an uncalled for comment that she wasn't being taken seriously by the medical community. I think that's an insult against medical professionals who accurately diagnosed her conditions and for which she is being medicated and treated for. And now she's on CNN as some sort of hero...

Trump: Blue States Vs Red States

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Trump called 'demented' after blaming 'blue states' for coronavirus death toll"
"Trump says US Covid-19 deaths would be low if you excluded blue states. That’s wrong.
If red states were a country, they’d be in the top 10 for Covid-19 deaths among developed nations."

and:

Yup, we now officially, according to Trump, have Blue and Red states. It used to be the United States...
