The whole US get $1200 and then chose not to stay home, too stupid to remember the money and too stupid to stay home?
drakionx
Don't worry, now that trump can hide the numbers they're going to plummet and everyone will be ok.

U.S.: Pay people to stay at home! Outrageous! How will I ever afford my 6th expensive car this year?

Surely removing the CDC's ability to publicize numbers will help. No knowledge = no Coronavirus! Right China?

I think the only thing different Democrats would have done is listened to the scientists. Bailouts would probably still go to big corps.

The "beaten COVID" part is maybe a bit to soon. The holiday season is messing up the numbers in most countries.
getridofTheSeaword
Deep in MAGAt country, city poll asks public if they want a masking mandate. 76% approval; the US mostly knows better but GOP rules us.
LittleDickTheBugFusker
It's fox.
getridofTheSeaword
While I agree Fox is hurting a lot of people in this country, the majority of us want gun control, funded schools, mask mandates. Meanwhile1

No matter what we all want while the senate is controlled by McConnell he’ll only look at bills he wants. There are hundreds just waiting.2
AwesomeTeddybear
Well, the fact that your president himself is saying shit that is 100% the opposite of science and medicine studies makes it easy to explain
echonite
To be fair, no one has "beaten" it yet. Second waves are starting in some countries who had it under control. They are doing FAR better.
echonite
Far better than the US*

Well china beat it by lying about the numbers, the US is now going that way after first bumbling around for six monthd to make it obvious.

There's just no way to stop Covid. Or shootings. Or labor exploitation. Or systemic racism. Absolutely none
SJohnson23
Healthcare is impossible too.
Scheibi82
I wonder how a dem president would be under attack by reps for doing the right things - as every other country did
yourbassist
Now do that with vacation, maternity/paternity leave, Healthcare, taxes.
n0th1n
... listen to scientists and pay people to stay home... for taxes?
yourbassist
Just put the the items in the first line. Other developed countries figured them out. Meanwhile America has a thumb up their ass.
n0th1n
While I'm in favor of streamlining our tax system, I'm not sure that falls under '"listen to scientists and pay people to stay home".
mop82
America knows what it's doing. Tax assistance like Turbotax in Intuit is a multi billion dollar industry and lobby to keep tax complicated.

"everywhere else" tends to mean Europe, and there are logistical issues with many of the things being compared between them and the US.
getridofTheSeaword
You’re proving their point, well done.
echonite
Mainly, pure scale of the country vs Europe.
YangKoete
I can understand railways, but how the fuck are the rest so hard? Oh right, cultists.
Dark0001
If only there were a country that was near the US with equivalent values and similar history that could be used to compare rate of infection
AmurTiger
To be fair Canada's got no high speed rail either. For rail Russia's system is probably a better standard to aim for for a big country.
Dark0001
True, but the US only has 5 trains that really count as high speed and I think they are a total of 1000 miles? Not really related to virus
GrandProtectorDark
Europe as a contingent is about the size of the states
echonite
Sure, but people are comparing things individual countries are doing as though they could work on the scale of the whole US.
echonite
It would be more fitting to compare EU countries to US states.

Regardless of coronavirus, this speech is dumb as hell. It's feel-good words completely devoid of content.
MotorMeyerFromMars
I completely agree, but doesn't that description cover most politicians' campaign speeches? (Albeit to a lesser extent)
Somanyquestions
In a way, but usually there is still some kind of action or goal linked to the pep-talk. This is incredibly vague, even for politics.
MotorMeyerFromMars
Haha yeah, he does take it to whole new level.

Srsly this shit is on Idiocracy level.

That's almost everything he says, though, with an increasing degree of mental delirium and decline as the year rolls on.

Well it's his voter base that are refusing to wear masks...so maybe it'll work out.
AllTheCoolKidsPeeTheirPants
Honest question. Is there a metric that takes into account test per million, positivity rate, and who’s allowed to get tested (all combined)
AllTheCoolKidsPeeTheirPants
Because obviously test per million is important but if you test everyone won’t the positivity rate go down? If you test those with symptoms
AllTheCoolKidsPeeTheirPants
It would obviously be higher. So I’m wondering if there’s a way to compare these stats are come up with a new metric to portray a better

I will never understand how people trust the internet more than actual professionals. I mean wtf
Upvoter2000x
In all fairness the "actual professionals" have been pretty fucking wrong about a lot of shit lately.
Cheesecakecrush
This site should provide you with plenty of examples as to why.
HeySuperVillainsIGetIt
Through what medium do they hear what experts have to say? It’s just another option that appears along side Jim bob from high school. /1
HeySuperVillainsIGetIt
The difference is they don’t like what the expert says. And Jim bob has their opinion coming out of his mouth.
Alenivan
I honestly think the bigger problem is people in the us have to work or we lose everything. Part time employees esp get shafted here.

Internet bubbles are scary. Once sent someone a 5 minute 'adam ruins' video, and they sent me back a 20 minute 'debunk' video with racists-
leshawk
-in the comments. And they sent it back so fast i realized that it must have been the youtube algorithm protecting them from other opinions

"Oh, you don't like this uncomfortable truth? Here's 10 videos to help convince you that you're not racist for ignoring it~!"

It's a symptom of an education problem imo

Add to that many forms of news media tell you only what they want you to hear.

They want to believe this isn’t a problem. Same with climate change. They want to hear that the planet is fine and we don’t need to change
