Could somebody dig up my post where I said that if Biden wins the election the Coomph goes away?
Pfizer makes a vaccine that's 90% effective in record time as far as vaccines go, only days after the Media calls the election?
lol

SIX: Yup. 4 more years of Coomph panic when Trump wins.
In the alternate timeline where Biden wins, you don't hear about it anymore after spring of 2021.

Wow (and not in a good way)
While we have been riveted by the 2020 election, the pandemic has continued to rage out of control in parts of the US, particularly in parts of the upper Midwest and northern Mountain States.
At its peak, NY had an average daily rate of 51 infections per 100,000 people. Now, 17 States have infections rates higher than that.
The worst is North Dakota, at 174 infections per 100,000 people. By contrast, the worst country on the planet, Czechia, had 117 infections per 100,000 people at its recent peak.
In addition to North Dakota, 5 other States have infection rates equal to or surpassing that of Czechia.
ND, which currently has a 7 day average of 173.6 infections per 100,000 people, can expect a death rate of 3.75 per 100,000 people daily, very close to the death rate of 3.93 per 100,000 in NY at its peak.
There is no indication yet that ND’s infection rate has peaked. Nor, with the possible exception of South Dakota, is there any such indication for any of the other 16 States with infection rates similar to Czechia.
Sadly, it appears likely that by Thanksgiving there is going to be a full-scale emergency in parts of the upper Midwest and Mountain States similar to the one that engulfed NYC in April. And as the reality of his defeat slowly sinks in, it is highly unlikely that Donald Trump or anyone in his Administration will give a damn.

I know what - I'd - propose doing about it (and it doesn't involve lockdowns).
What do you propose?

Funny, what you propose doesn't mean shit. Do you really think it does?

Quote:Pfizer plainly said that fat dumb fucker Trump had nothing to do with creating the vaccine nor when it was announced.

Trump had predicted in almost every campaign rally that the media would stop talking about the coronavirus pandemic the day after the election. But as it turns out, no one is ignoring the worsening tragedy more than the President himself.
Instead of taking charge as the country plunges deeper into the worst domestic crisis since World War II, Trump has disappeared inside the White House, saying nothing on camera since he baselessly claimed a week ago that the election was being stolen from him by President-elect Joe Biden.
He's spending time with advisers, not strategizing on how to tame the out-of-control health emergency but seeking a path to win an election already declared lost. He's also found time to purge the top leadership of the Pentagon, and with few appointments on his public schedule appears to spend his days watching news coverage and tweeting misinformation about voter fraud.
In essence, Trump, his family and his advisers are spending all their energy desperately trying to save a job -- the presidency -- that he appears to have no intention of doing in any meaningful sense.
It's an especially staggering and surreal failure of leadership, given the Covid-19 crisis and the subsequent economic turmoil, even for a fat dumb fucker President who downplayed and lied about the true nature of the pandemic and repeatedly predicted the virus would just go away.
