That's not been the GOP takeaway. They're on the daytime soaps insisting that president plague vector getting sick proves that no possible response to covid can work anywhere.
Quote:If this virus can get into the Oval, into the body of the president, there is no place where it could not possibly infect one of our fellow Americans - there is no lockdown that can be a panacea to save everyone from everything, and this is proof positive that's the case."
Florida Man Matt Gaetz.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's both incorrect and wrong to say people are learning to live with something hundreds a day are dying from.

Being as dumb as Drich is impossible for Homo sapiens exhibiting autonomic neurological activity. But the miracle of trumpism ensures our OLB achieves it anyway.
Driving creates utility, mobility, economic activity, social interaction, in other words things that are good and valuable in themselves
Perhaps getting COVID Is a thing good and valuable in itself in your Trump dazzled eyes. If that is the case, so getting COVID seems just like driving, then By all means, go contract COVID. Your El Presidente would certainly look benevolently down upon you if you were to acquire it Personally from the spittle of Your unmasked Demi-god Himself, or from his foul mouthed, ungrateful illegal immigrant whore of a FLOTUS.

Driving creates utility, mobility, economic activity, social interaction, in other words things that are good and valuable in themselves
Perhaps getting COVID creates things that are good and valuable in themselves, for you. If that is the case, so getting COVID is just like driving, then By all means, go contract COVID. Your El Presidente would certainly look benevolently down upon you if you were to personally acquire it from your Demi-god himself.
Not wearing masks, not staying home, not staying 6 feet away from people, having parties in your house, going to work, sending your children to school, and hugging people you love who aren't sheltering in place with you all create huge utility that can be seen as goo and valuable...
But that's how you MIGHT contract Covid-19. I'm a supporter of science and wear a mask and do all the things to assure the safety of my family but the point OLB is making is a sound one. We measure risk based on ROI and do MANY things that present a measurable death rate without batting an eye!
For hundreds of years we have largely ignored the fact that the flu is killing people in large numbers. Those numbers can be decreased by vaccination but we make that a choice and do not mandate mask wearing during flu season.

Perhaps the return on your investment in not wearing a mask During COVID pandemic would prove worthwhile? Why don’t you go try it and then lock yourself up so you don’t compulsorily pass the fruit of your experiment onto other people?

Everybody going to quit driving? False analogy. 700 are dying a day. At one point 1000. Also, people who die aren't living with anything.
And here you are defending Trump. Coming out of the closet I see.

There is no hope for this idiot.
was there any conceivable glimmer of the remotest possibility of any such hope since he was around 16? Yet good old US of A made such a man the master of 4000 nuclear weapons.
Think about this....
One’s responsibility to the entire species ought to trump one’s allegiance to the flag, or any other highfalutin “moral principle”.
Putting this man at the helm of half of the world’s nuclear arsenal is a deeper and more foundational crime against humanity than Ever could have been by mere abuse of human right, or even genocide on any limited scale.
He's a loose cannon, for sure.

Did you even read my whole post?
Specifically this part I made it larger and bolded it for you so you won't miss it this time:

This comparison is absurd . You can't just talk about numbers of deaths . You need to talk about the nature of the cause . A car crash and a highly infectious disease are not even in the same category.

He literally nothing about Republicans . He said the White house . Nor did he stigmatize anyone by pointing out it's running rampant through the facility .

Guess they deserve it...
Right?
Sure...
