Trump just said "22 cases" and the person who died "a high risk woman in her 50's"

[madaboutharry]

This is totally not what is being reported in the news media.

The media reported "a 19 year old male" and that the number of cases is in the 60s.

Trump is minimizing the virus.

Are we now living in the Twilight Zone?

[Roland99]

1. Yeah. The woman isn't doing too badly. The dead was a male

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. And he said she was a wonderful woman

[spanone]

2. well, last night he called it a hoax. he needs to be called out on this shit.

also said we're developing a vaccine 'very quickly'....bullshit

[Newest Reality]

3. Yes, we are!

You did not get the memo?

It started with:

"Imagine if you will..."

Actually, we are living on the verge of a totalitarian regime and this is Fascism American Style. It is more like a scripted, reality TV show, if you notice.

4. I don't want to hear a single anchor/pundit call this anything but a lie.

The time for giving him the benefit of the doubt for being ignorant, misinformed, or confused has long passed us by. Just call it a lie. Tell the American people that Trump is lying about Americans dying from coronavirus. Do it.

[CountAllVotes]

5. Repeat the lie

And shut the hell up.

There is no reason to panic, no reason to panic at all!

BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY!!!

& recommend.

7. Even if this was or was not the woman in her 50's this is a problem

I knew he would start victim blaming

I posted this in another thread earlier on

people tend to think of immunocompromised as people with cancer and HIV. But people with diabetes that is UNCONTROLLED are sometimes immunocompromised. Addiction can also make someone immunocompromised. So with those 2 things, diabetes and addiction - a lot of vulnerable folks here and we are dealing with something we are not familiar with.

That's why I really think this is the lowest thing Trump and his administration has done. Saying this is a hoax and nothing to see here. Instead of making sure we get a handle on this, all hands on deck before those who are vulnerable are the ones to pay the price.

Most people who are not immunocompromised will probably rid themselves of the virus and be just fine. What about those that are more vulnerable? This is an unfamiliar virus to their bodies. What resistance can their bodies mount to fight this?

I suppose if it happens in those populations, they get to say, well they already had all those other complications.......... so not our fault.

8. Up next

“Democrats are dancing in the streets” and the “failing, low-ratings MSNBC anchors are cheering”

[Dennis Donovan]

9. Jay Inslee's tweet uses "his" i.e. "his family"

11. Yesterday he said 15 cases.

No matter what it is it is more than Obama had.

[sunonmars]

12. I hope Trump realises he is in the high risk category as well, his health ain't good.

[nolabear]

13. Local (Seattle) News says a woman in Kirkland WA.

That’s a little city a few miles from Seattle, in King County. It didn’t give her age but I see on MSNBC she’s in her late 50s.

I won’t lie. I’m nervous, for my kids in particular. Both have jobs that bring them in contact with many random people. But they’re also young and healthy. Hard not to be nervous though.

[milestogo]

14. So apparently there are 2 deaths.

A 19 year old man and woman in her 50s.

[smirkymonkey]

15. We have been living in the Twilight Zone since Nov 2016.

I can't wait for the episode to end.

[Sugar Smack]

16. Take heart. He's still just a man. He could get it too.

Who knows? Perhaps he already has it.

[Doreen]

17. Of course he blames a woman for having it and spreading it.

Another reason to take their health care away of course.

[W_HAMILTON]

18. This press conference from Washington state...

...just said that the person that died was a MALE in his 50s with other underlying health conditions.
