The Coronavirus thread

How about a link to the actual article?

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/12/health/coronavirus-pandemic-vaccine-optimism.html

Folks can decide for themselves if that dailywire post accurately reflects the contents of the times article.

Folks can decide for themselves .

What's to decide. It's an upbeat
optimistic article that was in
the NYT that shoots Biden
down completely. Have you
seen his ads? Trump blew it,
Trump's lack of leadership
is killing us. If only Trump
would lead like Biden will
lead this would be over.
This article says Trump is
doing everything correctly.

This article appearing now is
odd. It makes Biden look
like an idiot. An even bigger
idiot than he is. Why did the
NYT not wait till after the
election. Do they not want
Biden to win?

Did you read the actual NYT article? Because it doesn't seem like you did.

Did you read the actual NYT article?

From the article:

Events have moved faster than I thought possible. I have become cautiously optimistic. Experts are saying, with genuine confidence, that the pandemic in the United States will be over far sooner than they expected.. Operation Warp Speed — the government’s (Trump's program) agreement to subsidize vaccine companies’ clinical trials and manufacturing costs — appears to have been working with remarkable efficiency.

From Wiki:
Operation Warp Speed is a public–private partnership, initiated by the Trump administration, to facilitate and accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics. Operation Warp Speed was introduced in early April

This is the opposite of the
message Biden is running
on. Why the NYT published
this is a mystery. It would
make sense to double down
on the doom and gloom for
3 more weeks. This shoots
Biden in the back.

The sooner the better. Sheep love masks, thinking they are the be all end all. Afraid to live a normal life.

+100

It's funny because the sheep claim that they'll stop wearing masks when the pandemic is over, but in reality they'll only stop when their libbie masters tell them to stop. They're incapable of thinking for themselves and it's really pathetic man.🙄

It’s the “loud minority” of beta males and Karens who are tired of the masks.

lol

Nope, the beta males are scared of their own shadows.
They're the ones who will do whatever their libbie masters tell them to do. 😂😂

Good commonsense piece. Note the Surgeon General said they don't work!

You think Biden is against a vaccine program?

If there is any shooting in the back, it's this:

"Clearly, the pandemic has not ended. So far some 215,000 Americans have lost their lives to the coronavirus, and reliable estimates suggest that the number could reach 400,000. Health experts agree that, with stronger leadership, the death toll would have been far lower."

As for doom and gloom, and why they would publish it, the NYT is a legitimate news organization, not a campaign propoganda machine.

I really doubt we will have a vaccine for this virus
Masks and social distancing are here forever
I'm dealing with it, no issues
Still getting out
Conservatives are just going to have to deal with the new reality

Desantis disgusts me. High fiving and rubbing his nose
Worst Gov ever.

What "stronger leadership" are they thinking? Notice they *never* say what could have done better. Because they could not have.

Reality is the death rate is very, very low compared to estimates.
