Derpy Donny and the totally unforeseeable pandemic

Nobody thinks or says that about the "socialist" dems, but a lot of Trump's supporters think that way about him.

Does it really pain you to say "Okay, maybe he ****ed up."?

It doesn't make you any less of a conservative or patriot to think or say so. Why pretend he's infallible and perfect? He's not the messiah, so get up off your knees, son.

Neither have I.
But....
Joe Biden says he'll 'cure cancer' at campaign stop in Ottumwa, Iowa
If you'd try news outside of Alternet, Mother Jones,
& Communist Daily, you might've read about it.

It's interesting that your own link says "He'll" cure whereas the article in your own link says "We'll" cure cancer.

I promise you if I'm elected president, you're going to see the single most important thing that changes America, we're gonna cure cancer."​

That doesn't say much for your source or your ability to read an article.



ETA: I don't follow any of the sources that you indicated I follow. I didn't see you denying that you are a follower of Breitbart or Fox.

Sorry if I am derailing the OP

I believe VP Biden was one of the driving forces behind funding the Cancer Moonshot - it helped spawn a branch of medicine known as Precision Medicine where treatments are genetically tailored to the individual instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Cancer.gov article
American Journal of Managed Care article

As with any new technology - progress has been somewhat mixed as only certain genetic variants have been shown to be susceptible to these engineered treatments. But then again if you are one of the individuals who benefitted - you have a second chance

We teach Precision Medicine as a chapter in our online certification program in Informatics - there is some merit to those statements. FWIW

You're missing the point....he claimed that his being President
would effect a cure to cancer. It's an empty promise. If he's
merely duping the ignorant into hoping that he'll be the procuring
cause behind the cure of cancer, that's bad enuf. But if he believes
it, then using "cancer" in the singular bespeaks woeful ignorance.

Uh huh. And this somehow excuses you for intentionally misstating his comments. Uh huh.

While ignoring my point, you're hiding behind imprecision
of language to eek out some kind of victory.
I expect more from such a vaunted shoe brand.

I'm hiding? Imprecision? You've made 159,360 posts and you want us to believe that when you write "I" when the article clearly said "we", that it was linguistic imprecision?

Apparently your world hasn't expanded beyond shoe brands. I'm not surprised.

Covid-19 is the designated name referring to Corona Virus Disease and 19 is for the designated year of 2019 when this strain of Corona virus formed; whereas my preferred reference to this particular strain of Corona virus being the Wuhan Chinese derived Corona virus designates where this particular strain of Corona virus had formed.
Why is it so very important to you to have to point out every single time you say it, where you think it first formed??
Who cares?

President Donald J.Trump himself calls COVID-19 the Chinese virus. The Chinese have wrongly claimed the American military planted this virus in Wuhan, we should make clear Covid-19 had formed from the Chinese. They were negligent in failing to promptly report this grave medical concern to the World Health Organization. The Chinese must be held accountable for their delay of warning the world about the Chinese virus.

It hasn't been established that the USA didn't plant the virus in China, that's just conjecture.

It makes no difference where a new virus originates.
As soon as it appears it is everyone's problem.

Calling it the Chinese virus is just playing politics with people's health.

The WHO have designated it Covid19
The Chinese have already identified some effective treatments
Though there is Unlikely to be a cure.

Trump and his government simply procrastinated.
It is now going to be a serious problem for the USA to resolve.

Held accountable? So that's why you call it that?
Is the entire continent of Africa responsible for producing Ebola? Should they be treated differently because it started there?
This virus has killed thousands of Chinese people and turned China upside down. It's not like they benefited from it or something. They went into massive lockdown of all of Wuhan and most of the country in mid-January. And now it appears that has been an effective method in bringing down the number of deaths and transmissions of the disease - so far. Last month, the WHO praised China for its “unique and unprecedented public health response [that] reversed the escalating cases”. And now the rest of us are trying to do the same. Could their response have been faster? Sure, but so could everyone else's response, including the US. It seems human beings are reluctant to take extreme measures until it becomes absolutely necessary.
What China’s coronavirus response can teach the rest of the world

Trump has a penchant for stirring up xenophobia, so I'm not surprised that he calls it that. I suspect that is why others call it that as well.

Today he said that the reason for the slow response was that HE and his administration inherited a completely broken system. But now HE'S fixed it.

He was in a spastic funk and total denial.
He has fixed nothing .
It was he that disbanded the pandemic committee.
