The Corona pandemic is real
Ward Dossche - 2:292/854

We know that it is real -- and thanks for sharing your story.

There are also "special" sides to the Corona pandemic. We get our
daily dose of entertainment from Donald Trump, if now only my
American friends would care to see what a dangerous and irresponsible madman this is.

Some of us do see exactly that.

Maybe it's Russian roulette.

Nah. Russkies do not play with loaded dice.

I have not the slightest clue where I might have caught it.

Cats. It had to be the cats.

Two pet cats in New York state have tested positive for the
coronavirus, marking the first confirmed cases in companion animals
in the United States, federal officials said Wednesday.

The cats, which had mild respiratory illnesses and are expected to
recover, are thought to have contracted the virus from people in their households or neighborhoods, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and
the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

The finding, which comes after positive tests in some tigers and lions
at the Bronx Zoo, adds to a small number of confirmed cases of the
virus in animals worldwide. U.S. authorities say that while it appears
some animals can get the virus from people, there's no indication the
animals are transmitting it to human beings.

"We don't want people to panic. We don't want people to be afraid
of pets" or to rush to test them en masse, said Dr. Casey Barton
Behravesh, a CDC official who works on human-animal health connections. "There's no evidence that pets are playing a role in spreading this
disease to people." Still, the CDC is recommending that people prevent
their pets from interacting with people or animals outside their homes
-- by keeping cats indoors and dogs out of dog parks, for instance.

NEWSFLASH: The Wuhan Virus is/was not Trump's fault,

Of course not.

regardless of how many times the libtards say it is.

No one has said that he caused it.

Therefore, why would it
be held against him at election time?

Because he has royally bungled the nation's response to COVID-19,
ignoring early warnings for months while replacing them with fairy tale statements. He ignored the recommendations of science until it was all
too obvious that there was a pandemic well established and it was all
too late. Instead of acting as a leader to organize responses to the
health crisis, he pretty much just told the states "you handle it and
fight it out among yourselves. I am not responsible". His
incompetence has cost tens of thousands of American lives. Why
shouldn't all that be held against him at election time?

I have attempted to have a reasonable conversation with you in the
past, and it didn't work. I try to learn from my mistakes, and
won't do that again.

In other words, when you have no viable response to the truth, you beg
out of the conversation. There is nothing I have said that is not
reasonable statement of facts, as opposed to what comes out of Trump's
lips all too often.
