I think it would be more productive to remember that CNN's exact line was "Trump peddles unsubstantiated hope in dark times." The keyword there is "unsubstantiated" because there's absolutely substance behind this in the form of multiple studies. They aren't fully-fleshed clinical trials and there's not a definitive behind the suggestion yet, but that one word completely changes the trajectory of their headline from what could have been a mostly reasonable complaint into one that's teetering dangerously on becoming an outright lie.

Trump wasn't pulling that medication or the combination of the two out of his ass, nor was it even his idea to begin with. There was a documented assumption behind examining those two medications as a response to the outbreak. Whether or not that's a 'false hope' depends on the direction of the trials, but my contention is squatting entirely on their use of "unsubstantiated" rather than any other part of their headline.

Why are you making this out to be some sort of media conspiracy? Dr. Fauci flat out said there is no proof it works at the coronavirus press conferences. You seem like the type to post on r/theDonald.

The US built atom bombs in the 1940s and ICBMs in the 1950s. This a much less technically challenging thing than that.

you and the rest of the world are going to find out how "different" 70 years of societal races-to-the-bottom of various sorts and ballooning managerial establishments can truly make a nation. the answer is not "more efficient."

Hit my local Kroger today to pick up more meds. Only restrictions where on bread, ground beef, and chicken. Of which SNAP card holders got a extra one of. Not many people. Meat section was already filled back to the brim with beef steaks. As usual with some priced buy one get one free.

Most things where back in, including the most important being my potatos and saltines did not bother to check the paper goods, disinfectent or bleach.

Alright, talking about false hopes apparently doesn't go anywhere. If it's going to descend into slap fights then please take it to private messages or profile posts or something, I don't want to have to clean up the mess. The semantics are just getting silly and nobody wants to budge out of their trenches, anyways.

Sorry if someone already mentionned that clip but the guys of China Uncensored talk of 2nd wave of infections.

There's one Youtuber who isn't agree with what China Uncensored said.

Yeah ... "Second Wave," meaning "China finally got caught lying about their current numbers, and will pass it off as a surprising Second Wave instead."

China didn't get rid of their "First Wave," lol. Anybody who believes those numbers the Chinese Government is barfing out is delusional.
