 |  So are you OK with Pelosi attacking Birx the way she is?  Or is it only wrong to attack them when Republicans do it? |

 |  I assume you mean left-wing?  No, I don't think it's because those states are left wing.  But I also think it's really a leap to say it's Trumps fault. I was showing the lunacy of suggesting that one person controls all that.
 
And any sane comparison would look at death rates, not absolute number of deaths.  I's expect more deaths in a country of 330 million than a country one-tenth that size. |

 |  Yes left wing LOL. I agree one person is not totally a fault. I'll give Trump some credit for Banning some travel from China but I think he's been absent and it showed no leadership Compassion or empathy.

 |  I never, ever watch her.  Too late.
 
As usual, you posted some jibberish so not sure what you're saying.  Here's what I'm saying...the worst states in terms of death rates, happen to be liberal.  So it's  a stretch to blame Trump.  But it's your whole reason to exist right now, so knock yourself out.
 
Trump didn't tell Diblasio and Pelosi to go on TV in late February and tell people it was safe to go out in public, crowded places.  If they get zero blame for that, I'd like you to tell me why.  And "because they are democrats" isn't a good reason. |

Can't imagine where you got that from.  You're hearing voices.
 
We lose tens of thousands to the flu, to car accidents....but we don't stop living.  We were told we just needed to flatten the curve, remember?  We did that, no hospitals were overrun, Americans weren't choking to death in hospital waiting rooms for lack of ventilators.  That didn't happen. |

 |  Again you can spin anything.  When you make comparison of Americans who have died as red or blue states  you've  made  a distinction  I hear you loud and clear 
 
150 thousand  deaths you really are clueless about how this pandemic  works .  Please  you and your family members can be  out front if you think we flattened ..anything. ..    |

 |  you realize that the big numbers in the states that have had a rise recently, California, TX, GA, FLA, Az are all in the counties that are  around LA, Houston, Atlanta, Miami, Phoenix, "not bastions of right meaning mouth breathing"......I see lot's of leftist wearing their mask under their noses probably so they can look down their noses at others without obstruction....that's the "woke" way to wear it from what I've heard    I guess all of the democrats running around in gas masks and helmets these days are pretty safe though
 
ps...in RI the increases are in Porv, Pawt and CF which is where all of RI's right wing mouth breathing non-mask wearers are apparently

				 | I think that interview shows off his true mental acuity, and Swane just ate him up and the campaign manager is insane allowing Trump to do those interviews.  I hope he does one a week from now until the election, just keep giving him the shovel and he will dig his grave deeper. |

this is stupid...go look at the graphs from each state...with the exception of Louisiana who had some early rise the states you listed all had low instance through june then and bump and they are trending down now...other states like Colorado had a bump in june..the only difference is when the rise occurred and the deaths per million in which the states of NJ, NJ, Mass, RI and CT are still huge leaders... California has the most total cases...these states will get hit again...that's when we'll see if they learned from their mistakes...our gina is already in a panic...washington, minnesota are having a surge...probably nothing to do with the mayhem on the streets every night |

NY NJ and CT have declining rates of infection and death 
The others I named have risen  
The goal is to win the battle against the virus and what happens tomorrow and going forward is all that can be changed. 
Testing, tracing, isolation of suspect cases, social distancing and wearing masks are the only current defenses.

 |  So the overall death rate doesn't matter.  What matters, is comparing death rates over any time horizon you can find, to tell the political tale you want to tell. |

				 | There is no right or left when it comes to self centered stupid people who couldn’t care less about spreading this, if it cuts into their party and social plans.  It’s a sad commentary on this country’s social and moral sensibilities, which is why it has always been so important for better messaging from the top and more national mandates on what everyone needed to do to collectively get this under control. |
