That's a pretty stupid statement. Being not much use to society certainly isn't limited to older people.

Oh, Europe has dealt with the problem? The virus didn't originate in China?

Once again you are criticising him for the wrong things (and, thus undermining the election campaign). Instead of arguing with him when he states the obvious, and thus putting the question marks around you rather than him, focus on what he is failing at. Where is all the testing, and why does he think rate cuts are more important than that? Why was the CDC set-up not more aggressive? What help has he sent to Seattle? What has he done to guarantee supermarket supply?

Seemed obvious to me and made me laugh. As did the outraged replies. :rofl: Maybe the delete people's irony detector. :lol:

I did think he was probably being sarcastic, but the coronavirus has p*ssed me off and is affecting my humour.

That's perfectly understandable, it's a bugger of a thing.

And, let's face it, the POTUS is an orange demented 73 year old toddler who, while denying Corona existed, was exposed at least three times and is refusing to be tested. Maybe John is on to something. :rofl:

I laughed at how Trump punished Nancy Pelosi by refusing to meet with her ... which probably saved her from exposure. Mitt Romney was shunned from CPAC (because he voted for impeachment) because they "couldn't guarantee his safety at the conference" .... which probably saved him from exposure. The irony is rife.

I'm massively enjoying the idea that he - a barely-cogent, thick-as-mince, germophobic man-carrot - is shitting himself because other people are falling sick around him. If I were prone to conspiracies I'd argue that he was all of their patient zeroes. He is the lowest (always the lowest...) common denominator after all

And perhaps I've been watching too much television but I keep refreshing my live feed for that report that people have started coming back to life.

Apparently you've been watching a different TV show than me because I keep refreshing my live feed to find that Trump is actually made stronger by corona because a 50 year diet of Adderall and over processed chicken fat gives you a super-human immunity.
