CNN’s Jake Tapper on Friday announced that his network planned to host a memorial special for the tens of thousands of Americans who have died from COVID-19 over the last two months.

“More than 90,000 people in the US have died from Covid-19,” Tapper wrote on Twitter. “On Sunday, May 31 at noon ET, CNN will be holding a memorial for those lost.”


The CNN host then posted a link where viewers could submit names and photos of people who have been lost to the disease.

While many of Tapper’s followers said they were grateful for the memorial, several supporters of President Donald Trump angrily attacked him for not holding a similar memorial for 2009 H1N1 pandemic, when an estimated 12,000 Americans died of the disease over the span of an entire year.

With this kind of thinking there would never be any memorials since it is always possible to find an instance in the past when lots of people died but no memorial was held. All the people who die in car accidents in a given year, for example.

1. Let's all just ignore the assholes and their assholery.

[ScratchCat]

2. "with this kind of thinking"

The only "thinking" that went into that is that Obama was President in 2009.

These morons will never, ever drop the ridiculous mantra that the media is only covering a climbing death toll because Trump is president, no matter how stupid they look.

3. Whataboutisms and grievance are their pillars.

4. Ah,

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.

That's a bit nothing hamberder and something to just tune out. It's big jug of attention seeking and self-righteous indignation. It's white noise to me. We have more important issues right now while the children play.

5. Then They Can Do One, 1/8th the Size.

A one hour special for COVID, 7.5 minutes for H1N1.
Wait a week, and the swine flu memorial will down to 6 minutes.

6. They Also forget we didnt have to shut down the country during H1N1

Because that administration didnt call it a hoax...and didnt wait 70 days to do something about it...Also that 90k people that have pasted isnt done...In a year that number could grow to 500k...

7. They're back in their "blame Obama" mode.

Trump and his minions take umbrage at everything they consider a slight to Fat Donnie, whether intentional or not. (CNN's memorial show falls into the latter category.)

"You're complaining about all the people who died from the China virus -- and remember that two or three millions more could have died except for Trump's leadership -- what about those people who died during the previous administration?"

[greenjar_01]

8. Essentially, 100,000 people will have died in two months time

Anyone comparing this horror to H1N1 is very simply a bad person. There is no other excuse for it. They're not good people.

9. So, lemme see here...

“...(no) memorial for 2009 H1N1 pandemic, when ... 12,000 died ...over (one) year.”

This is ”but-what-aboutism” gone wild. But let me help you out here, Trumpers.

12,000 H1N1 deaths/12 months = 1,000 deaths a month.

96,000 Covid-19 deaths/2.75 months = 34,909 deaths a month.

That’s a 3,490% increase. And June may very well be worse.

Now do you get it...?

I can fault Tapper though. No reason to have a memorial when people are STILL dying by the thousands.

[scarletwoman]

13. + 1000! (nt)

[Cha]

17. And, President Obama didn't Ignore it for 70 Precious Days..

calling it a "hoax" like trump called it a "democrat hoax".. I think that part of history is getting lost.

Obama didn't ignore it at All.

[AlexSFCA]

10. a badge of honor

[Garion_55]

11. They would have hated that too

Why are you Doing a memorial that's going to help Obama politically and Garner sympathy for him? Where is the equal time? Why are you doing Obama's bidding? Blah blah blah blah

[Politicub]

12. Everything with Trumpers is a form of, "but her emails."

[IronLionZion]

14. 12,000 over 1 year is like 100,000 over 3 months

if you don't think about it.

A neighbor lady from where I grew up was telling my Mom this is all a liberal media driven hoax to take down Trump. Fox News and conservative radio are the only ones brave enough to tell the truth. That woman's son is in Med school studying to be an infectious disease specialist. At his wedding, he publicly stated his Mother is the reason he decided to be a Democrat.

15. 12,000 died from Bird Flu.

93,000 died because of a bird brain. That just compounds the tragedy. (and we're not done yet)

[central scrutinizer]

16. They freaked out when ONE person died from Ebola

While Obama was president
