The Luckiest Man in the World's Streak Will Continue

[lame54]

Trump predicted the virus would disappear when it gets warmer - we all laughed him - but...

This thing will go dormant and Trump will claim he alone killed it - his followers will cheer - evangelists will claim it's a Trump miracle

Due to the longer summer(climate change that Trump denies) the virus won't re-surface till after the election - Trump will win*

When it does re-surface for a fuller and more deadly season Trump will have no incentive to even pretend to do anything about it - He will be king

*This part can be changed - vote and encourage non-voters to register
learn the registration deadline in your state and knock on doors

Trump WILL benefit from this virus(and climate change).

Karma is dead

1. Apparently Singapore has Coronavirus and it is hot there. I read it somewhere.

So too bad but i don't know that it will go away for the summer.

[lame54]

3. I'm hoping it does - but Trump's crowing will make me more sick

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. It's also started to appear in Australia and New Zealand where it's summer now,

and has turned up in India and some countries in Africa.

[canetoad]

15. One death here in Australia

Seventy eight year old man who was on the Diamond Princess. Geographic proximity means a lot of travel between us and Asia. Twenty nine cases in all.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. I hope your government's response doesn't suck as much as ours.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. In some parts of the world summer is winter.

And we don't even know whether or to what extent warmer weather will affect the virus. Anyhow, the election is in November, by which time it will be cold again in the northern hemisphere.

[lame54]

4. I live in a hot spot for this virus...

summer can easily get to early November here

[bronxiteforever]

8. +1

[brush]

6. Very dubious info. Where did you get that? It's new. Who the hell knows?

And snow is still on the ground in many states.

[lame54]

7. It's a Trump prediction...

Based on how many times we had him on the ropes

Don't count on this being his Katrina

We're going to have fight even harder because of this

[brush]

9. You don't believe something out of the mouth of history's biggest liar do you?

Come on, he also said it would disappear like a miracle.

[lame54]

10. exactly...

it will disappear because it's seasonal* - Trump will play it off like a miracle and his flunkies will believe it

*I of course don't know that it is seasonal but Trump's luck knows no bounds - but if it is similar to the flu as is being reported - it may go seasonally dormant like the flu

calling this his Katrina is very premature

[brush]

11. What you're doing is misiformation also. It's new, nobody knows.

[lame54]

13. no it's not...

it's clearly an opinion

let me try - what you are doing is censorship

[brush]

38. Seriously? Keep spreading trump's dementia then.

[lame54]

39. Keep ignoring it...

See where that gets ya

How many have we said This is the one and it isn't

[brush]

41. No. You can't switch this ill-advised post around by accusing me of ignoring...

the virus when you're spreading trump propaganda that it will go away in warm weather.

That's irresponsible. No one has any idea if that is true.

Time to take this post down.

[lame54]

43. No can do post sheriff

[underpants]

12. The warmer weather thing is something the Chinese made up about SARS

it covers up their massive cull of the citizens

[lame54]

14. it's being reported that it's similar to the flu...

am I getting that wrong?

the flu is seasonal

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. Flu tends to be seasonal because it's spread more easily when people gather indoors

and children are in school. COVID-19 seems to be much more contagious than flu. We will soon see whether warmer weather affects it, but it's started to turn up in warm places.

[lame54]

20. I want the warmth to subdue it - but I don't want Trump to benefit from it...

it not going dormant could be devastating and horrible even if it means Trump's ousting

a lose/lose

[DFW]

17. In that case, November will blow a chilly wind on Trumps chances to be re-installed

Of course, as we saw last time, his losing the election doesn't necessarily mean he loses the White House.

[lame54]

19. it would have to be a full-blown outbreak in a short period of time

[DFW]

40. Granted, but...

Some parts of the USA are very thickly settled, and an outbreak could spread very quickly, especially if a drop in infections makes the country let its guard down.

[stillcool]

21. Trump will benefit from anything..

that happens in the next 8 mos. Got it.

[lame54]

22. good - you are paying attention to history

[greenjar_01]

23. Post quality:

Not good.

[lame54]

24. I'll stand by it

[greenjar_01]

26. ...

(but slower)

[LeftinOH]

25. Temperature in Wuhan is in the upper 50s(F) this week- and

there have been over 50 deaths so far in Italy, where the northern part of the country is in the upper 50s-60s (F) this week.

[lame54]

27. it gets to 100 around here

[lapfog_1]

28. Corona Virus is not the Flu

there is little evidence to suggest that it re ponds to temperature.

There is some evidence that we go outside more in the summer so we are not in contact with infection as in winter time, that our own immune systems are stronger in the summer... so the infection rate may drop.

OTOH, one of the most deadly of previous Corona Virus outbreaks was MERS or middle east respiratory syndrome... and the middle east is rarely a cool place.

[lame54]

29. it is being reported to be very much like the flu...

is that incorrect?

[lapfog_1]

34. sure... in a number of ways

it infects the lungs... in fact the virus receptors only infect the lungs.

It is about as infectious as a flu.

It is 10 to 20 times more deadly than the average flu.

It is more resistant to heat than the flu... yet to be determined about Covid-19... it may be as reactant to UV as more viruses are.... at least the chinese think it is.

[lame54]

37. I've heard all of those except...

the part about being resistant to heat

[Bok_Tukalo]

30. It seems to do okay at 98 degrees

<POE>

[lame54]

31. where is that?

[Bok_Tukalo]

32. The human body

<OPE>

[lame54]

33. you mean the host...

98 degrees outside of a host is quite different

[DinahMoeHum]

35. Oh, bullshit. NOBODY is that lucky forever.

NOBODY.

[lame54]

36. he's on a 72 year streak

[Nonhlanhla]

42. You know what?

As someone with asthma, I would rather have 4 more years of Trump than this virus. And I cannot STAND Trump. But this virus is potentially deadly for many of us. So maybe I'd be OK with it if his luck holds this time, because I'd like to stick around for a few more decades. I find this post rather offensive.

[lame54]

44. I agree - do not want to see it spread...

But if it goes dormant

Trump will spin it to his advantage

A lose-lose

But here is to no virus
