Donald Trump Compares Coronavirus to the Flu in Tweet That Sets off Social Media
President Donald Trump is continuing to downplay the severity of the coronavirus pandemic [...]
Wait, you downplayed COVID-19, but now you're up-playing the flu, which you wrongly said covid was like?
You can't change the subject, Spanky. This shit ain't over.
210,000 have died, and people are STILL dying from it.

prevnextDude what are you talking about? People with flu symptoms or even a simple cold are gonna have to assume they have Covid. It’s going to be a complete mess. And you obviously aren’t up for the challenge of defeating the virus. Well, Joe Biden is. That’s why I voted for him.

FACT Check: Covid is not far less lethal than the flu. The Flu. The Flu kills between 12,000-61,000 people per year. Covid has killed 210,000 in just 7-8 months!

prevnextHe could have used his platform simply to encourage people to get flu shots. Even just the most basic statement supporting public health and safety. Instead we get this garbage about "learning to live" with disease. Easy for him to say when our taxes pay for HIS health care.

Reckless statement. Vote Blue.

prevnextSo this is the message you want to stick with? Not everyone wear a mask so we can reduce the virus and go back to opening up the country? You’re sticking with it is what it is? I pray for your humiliation election night, when you’re voted out.
