Because the threat has to be REAL and EXIST first, obviously. Nice try, dishonest demagogue.
All the evidence showed that it was unfounded nonsense, like your debunked Russia conspiracy theory.

Well said and agreed.
We're now seeing the beginnings of Trump's version of Death Panels: Sending old patients home to die to make room for patients who are more likely to survive. This is the Triage situation pointed out a few months ago.

Now Starr County is at a dangerous “tipping point,” reporting an alarming number of new cases each day, data show. Starr County Memorial Hospital — the county’s only hospital — is overflowing with COVID-19 patients.
The county has been forced to form what is being compared to a so-called “death panel.” A county health board – which governs Starr Memorial – is set to authorize critical care guidelines Thursday that will help medical workers determine ways to allocate scarce medical resources on patients with the best chance to survive.
A committee will deem which COVID-19 patients are likely to die and send them home with family, Jose Vasquez, the county health authority, said during a news conference Tuesday.
“The situation is desperate,” Vasquez said. “We cannot continue functioning in the Starr County Memorial Hospital nor in our county in the way that things are going. The numbers are staggering.”
"Early in the epidemic, public-health experts feared the virus might kill up to 2 percent of those infected, potentially causing millions of deaths in the United States and tens of millions worldwide. Those terrifying estimates prompted the lockdowns that have done incalculable harm to the economy, shattered small businesses and left children traumatized and untold numbers suffering from brutal isolation. But we now know much more about the virus. And we know its lethality is lower than we originally feared — and highly concentrated in the very elderly and people with serious health problems. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention *esti*mated in May that the coronavirus kills about 0.26 percent of the people it infects, about 1 in 400 people."
Getting realistic about the coronavirus death rate
"The latest Centers for Disease Control data show that the COVID-19 fatality rate is 0.26% -- four times higher than the worst rate for the seasonal flu over the past decade. That is dramatically lower than the World Health Organization’s estimate of 3.4% and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s initial guess of about 2%."

Your garbage tabloid sources are lying to you again. What's it like being proven wrong all the time?
liar.
Says the person who has posted ZERO proof of their claims...to the person proving EVERYTHING they've claimed.
The case definition is very simplistic,” Dr. Ngozi Ezike, director of Illinois Department of Public Health, explains. “It means, at the time of death, it was a COVID positive diagnosis. That means, that if you were in hospice and had already been given a few weeks to live, and then you also were found to have COVID, that would be counted as a COVID death. It means, technically even if you died of [a] clear alternative cause, but you had COVID at the same time, it’s still listed as a COVID death.”

You misspelled Democrats. They're the ones locking everything down over the sniffles.
They're also the ones who made this situation what it is...
-Democrats caused the mask shortage.
-Democrats caused the ventilator shortage.
-Democrats put bureaucratic FDA red tape in the way of responding to this crisis.
-Democrats opposed the China travel ban that saved thousands of American lives.
-Democrats attacked President Trump as overreacting in the beginning and demanded that he prioritize the flu instead.
-Democrats were downplaying COVID and telling everyone to live their lives normally as recently as March.
-Democrats spent the first months of this pandemic diverting all the federal resources they could to impeachment.
-Democrats wasted critical time and resources blocking emergency relief to stuff the bill with taxpayer-funded power grabs and handouts for their donors.
-Democrats are lying to make the most prepared country on the planet look unprepared.
Even pathologists and other experts from the NY Times, World Health Organization, Stanford and Oxford researchers, and anti-Trump critics were forced to praise President Trump's aggressively proactive handling of COVID, to thank him for saving their own lives personally, to admit that his China travel ban (which Democrats opposed) worked, to admit that Democrat governors incompetently botched COVID, and to admit that this "crisis" is wildly exaggerated and fake.
California's Gavin Newsom even stated:
“Let me just be candid with you. I’d be lying to you to say that [Trump] hasn’t been responsive to our needs. He has. And so, as a sort of an offer of objectivity, I have to acknowledge that publicly...The fact is, every time that I've called the president, he's quickly gotten on the line. When we asked to get the support for that [USNS] Mercy ship in Southern California, he was able to direct that in real-time. We've got 2,000 of these field medical sites that are up, almost all operational now in the state, because of his support. Those are the facts."
The timeline reveals what a massive lie Democrats are trying to spread.
Nyet, comrade, nyet.
HA HA HA
liar
An expected response. Time will tell who is most truthful and who is the liar. Anyone reading both your posts and mine can decide for themselves who is honest and who is a scummy lying POS. Agreed?

Yes. This:
No counterpoints = Lost the debate.
No, it won't. CNN will keep telling you you were proven right about everything so you can come here and act self-righteous only to get handed your ass at every turn by people who still get actual news with facts and evidence...to which you will respond with smears, subject-changes, and denial, as always.

This president has politicized every single branch of government. People are afraid of saying the wrong thing and losing their job. Nothing coming out of the CDC can be believed, its all Trump propaganda.
You didn't address this to anyone. Are you talking to me? If so, microbiology. Not that a claim can only be true if it comes from "experts," who have been routinely proven wrong on this. Also, you're attempting to use a reverse "ad vericundium" fallacy: "If the person making the assertion ISN'T an "expert," then that assertion must be false."
