I think Canada has done pretty well since we actually started working at it, but we should have prepared better. The US, of course, under its narcissistic idiot of a leader has done horribly. I was just watching the daily briefing and it's truly cringeworthy how every single person who gets behind the podium is required to praise Trump's great leadership. Ugh! If you can’t admit that Trump has done a far better job than Trudeau to this point that’s just pathetic argus. Undeniable facts are right at the top of the old to-do lists. If Trudeau closed the border in January and then Trump started saying “the countries that have closed their borders are doing the wrong thing!!!!”, and then Trump closed the border after his country was already rife with the virus, you’d be making specific claims of Trump’s uselessness. You wouldn’t be spewing angry, misleading generalizations like you are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wouldn't count on a small death toll. Yes, but the population density is much higher, which will logically lead to more spread. Regardless, small is subjective.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Trump shut down travel from China before anyone, especially Canada. All while being called a racist. He also shut down travel from Europe, long before Canada. Regardless of the administration, the CDC has a pandemic protocol which is adhered to. Trump has made every power of the federal government available, especially to the hardest hit states. He’s also fast tracked vaccine testing. I have no idea what Canada is doing in terms of drugs or vaccines. Probably just going to rely on an American solution. Our idiot health minister doesn’t talk about any of that. Just says the isolation may have to go on for months. No shit Sherlock. And our narcissistic idiot leader was still allowing flights in from Rome as recent as a couple of weeks ago. And you call that a better response? LOL. He’s just copying everything Trump does, but a few weeks later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it tell you that Trudeau's policies have infected 0.003% of Canadians and Trump's have infected 0.009% of Americans? Would you say Trump is doing 3 times better than Trudeau or 5 times...a 100? Maybe you'll only agree Trudeau is doing a better job if he's killed by the virus before Trump. Children eh...they ask the damnedest questions but thankfully there's an adult in the room so...what do you say there Pops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they do. Take the current number of Canada and US cases and population run them thru a percentage calculator. Its so simple a child could do it. Canada's cases 1470 Canada's population 37.59 million That's 0.0039% US Cases 32464 US Population 372.2 million That's 0.0099% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly be because our population density is much smaller. California and New York basically have the population of Canada in just those two states. Plus, the United States is testing many more people now, so the numbers will go up. Funny how you can understand that concept when it comes to Canada and particularly Toronto, in another topic thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubberMiley Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 I don't think I would ever be able to forgive any politician for downplaying the virus as a political stunt and saying it was under control while all reports were indicating it was likely spreading widely in the community. I can forgive them for not closing a border early or being hesitant about shutting down the whole society, but telling people it was all okay and they didn't need to worry has likely cost lives already.

bush_cheney2004 Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 President Trump is getting more love now... Quote Poll: Majority of Americans now approve of Trump’s coronavirus management A majority of Americans now approve of President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new survey, as the administration has issued stricter federal guidelines in recent days and the president has adopted a more public-facing role in combating the disease. An ABC News/Ipsos poll released Friday reports that 55 percent of respondents approve of Trump’s management of the public health crisis, while 43 percent disapprove. The latest figures represent a boost in the president’s rating from the previous iteration of the survey, published one week ago, which showed only 43 percent approval for Trump and 54 percent disapproval. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/20/poll-majority-of-americans-now-approve-of-trumps-coronavirus-management-138570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you consider to be downplaying the virus is not panicking like all the SIFCLFs, so you are a terrible judge of what constitutes downplaying the virus.
