This is a blue state bug (for now at least)

It's harder to post lies about a pandemic/public health issue and let them stand as "freedom of expression" or "critical thinking". See Twitter's takedown of Trump's lie about children being immune to COVID, and anyone who re-posted it just to call him out on it. But they still try.

Some of you Trumpsters really do not have critical thinking skills.

1. When you have a lot of cases, your hospitals can get over run. This means that if you get ill with something else, or you get into a terrible accident and need to be in the ICU, you may not be able to get the necessary care you need. The MS governor, a R, realizes this and stated as much. He said MS cannot take care of its own people right now due to the hospitals being overrun.

2. cases precede deaths. Aren't these red states super lucky that they have the advantage of learning from NY and other states that got hit first in regards to what treatments work better than others? Too bad they didn't learn how to prevent more cases, though. I guess they thought it was a blue state bug, and God would protect them.

Also: you may not die, but people are having lasting issues. I don’t want my life cut short due to Covid 19 damage.

+1 And the damage varies from people. There have been more lung transplants, for example, because of coronavirus. I know someone with permanent kidney damage. I've heard of people whose heart rate has not gone back down to normal.

This is not a simple "flu".

Why do people keep acting like the possible outcomes from COVID are 100% fine, or 100% dead? For every person that dies from this disease, there are many more that survive, but will have life long health problems due to having compromised hearts, lungs, kidneys, stroke, etc.

I don't understand why people keep ignoring the fact that every case has an economic impact as well. My workplace is being very careful to stop the spread because when someone gets sick, THAT PERSON CAN'T WORK AND OUR COMPANY CAN'T MAKE MONEY.

Or maybe they are doing more testing. More testing = more known cases. Deaths and ICU admissions are a good indicator and by that measure blue states are killing their own.

the more you test the more you know, which is great. Too bad Trump doesn't think so. Seems to be the R strategy.

FL is hiding deaths. MS stated their hospitals are overrun.

NY/NJ has leveled off. Pandemic isn't over, dummy. Red states are starting catching up both in # of cases and deaths.

Moreover, if the GOP gets its way, they will no longer have coverage for preexisting conditions and will be saddled medical bills till their dying days.

And what of high positive rates, and long wait times for getting test results back?

Corporate America has taken this much more seriously (to a certain extent) than the federal government. My company told everyone to work from home on March 12 to test out the IT in a practice run. The night of March 12, the NBA suspended its season. March 13, work said work from home indefinitely.

Read an article looking at Ohio’s response to Covid. DeWine got a bunch of mostly republican business owners and corporations together to recommend course of action last spring. They all wanted a mask mandate to keep industry moving forward and hopefully safely restart schools and daycares ( because their workforces need the childcare). DeWine put a mask mandate in place for like 24 hrs, and was screamed down by the Republican fringe element in Ohio.
Remember that picture of zombies pressed against the glass crying out for freeDUMB? Yeah. Those people got their way.
