Oh, good. I'm glad you cut in.
Can you please explain what verbiage in there leads you to believe that Dems are "hoping for MILLIONS OF DEATHS"? Please be specific on that. I expect logical correlations.
Again - thanks for cutting in. Let's hear it.

Does one need to be a virologist to figure this out?
1) If 4% of people tested turn up positive, and 8086 people are positive, how many people are tested?
2) From #1 if the population is 58 million, what percentage has been tested?

I'll bet leig goes right to the ol' whatabout w/ the swine flu.
I doubt it.
This was your querulous query, little Thingy:
Are you trying to move the goalpost a little, little Thingy?
This is what I've read and seen that gave me that impression, little Thingy. Since you neglected to cite a minimum number of examples you were willing to accept when you first asked, that's the only one I feel obliged to provide.

Well Thing, you’re welcome to join in the fray and you speak almost as though a little reading is a bad thing lol.
In fact, how are we supposed to have informed discussions unless people read up on the topic? And notice how myself and others *actually discuss the virus* a long with stats and etc? Some of your cohorts can’t go three sentences without typing ‘Trump’ in a discussion on the Chinese Virus.
They have Trump on the brain.
I don't think little Thingy will ever be as he was, Earl.

Not even a good tapdance.
Read back & see what I was querying. There is nothing that you posted that backs up that it's "easy" to believe Dems are hoping for millions of deaths.
Again - I'm very glad you cut in. Very glad.

I told you so. He's a very good tap dancer.
According to you, little Thingy. If you're embarrassed by your juvenile attempt at a "gotcha", don't be. That's how you learn.

Trump handled it mostly like Italy.

Then why doesn't the US have 5 times as many cases and deaths?
Is that so? You do know that the EU refused to allow Italy to close its borders until it was too late, right?
GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTHCARE IN ACTION
Health officials in Italy have issued guidelines for rationing care as hospitals there struggle to keep up with the surge of patients infected with the Chinese virus.
Doctors are being told that they'll likely need to deny care to senior citizens and those with other health conditions as the foreign virus explodes across the nation.
Italy's government-run healthcare system has been swamped by the still not-well-understood COVID-29, with more than 1,200 confirmed cases and 827 deaths—second only to China—and 16 million residents currently under quarantine.
An article published by the Italian College of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation and Intensive Care warns that "It may be necessary to establish criteria of access to intensive care not just on the basis of clinical appropriateness but inspired by the most consensual criteria regarding distributive justice and the appropriate allocation of limited health resources." The report goes on to recommend rationing care to certain populations.
Rationing health care is nothing new in Italy and in fact has become an "established trend" in recent years amid an ongoing economic crisis that has strained government resources, including the government-run healthcare system.
"In a context of grave shortage of medical resources, the allocation criteria need to guarantee that those patients with the highest chance of therapeutic success will retain access to intensive care. It's a matter of giving priority to 'the highest hope of life and survival,'" the health experts explain.
"It may become necessary," they warn, "to establish an age limit for access to intensive care."
"In addition to age, the presence of comorbidities [additional chronic conditions] needs to be carefully evaluated. It is conceivable that what might be a relatively short treatment course in healthier people could be longer and more resource-consuming in the case of older or more fragile patients."
Northern Italy has been hit particularly hard by the Chinese virus, with doctors reporting conditions usually associated with wartime, as the death toll increases by the hour and government-run hospitals are short-staffed and out of beds.
