@lemon-lime said"One person dies, it's a tragedy. A million die, it's a statistic."
Because it's not personal.
The virus does not hate any of us. It doesn't discriminate against or in favor of anyone. It just does what it does and is what it is.
On the other hand an attack coming from people (for whatever reason) is personal.
That's the difference.

@eladar saidI thought you were claiming there is no buzz.
You may be appalled but here most of the country only knows of death counts by the news if they watch it.
Look at Texas, a state of nearly 30 million, total deaths just over 5 thousand.
That number is so small, why the fuss?
@eladar saidCorrect on the first line. However, one does study global proceedings (from many angles) & if I'm studying it so must other people. November as said here in this thread. See you broke & in court Trump😑🤷♂️🚬
No, because he is not a socialist at heart.
America first is the correct point of view for a President.

@eladar saidBecause Trumps base are more concerned about late Autumn voting figures than Spring and Summer death toll figures?
I found this on Drudge, which appears to be the new leftist propaganda outlet.

Why can't this death total unite the country against Trump like 9/11 united the nation against the Taliban?
Just a guess.
@kevcvs57 saidSo how does that explain the other 2/3 of the nation?

1/3 votes Rep, 1/3 Dem, while 1/3 decide who to vote for at the moment of voting.
@moonbus saidThis time I'll wait until late October before making a prediction.
The outrage will come in November.
Not because of uncertainty, but because instant gratification is much more...
gratifying. 😐
@eladar saidDepending on point of view and political affiliation (and whether or not you're an optimist or pessimist) the future either looks bleak or promising.
As always it will happen in the future, like 3 thousand dead a day by June 1.
😨😊
@lemon-lime saidNot sure the leanings of the Singapore scientists who say the virus will no longer be around by September in the Northern Hemisphere.

@eladar saidWas anyone here terrified by the possibility of a resurgence of SARS (or the Spanish flu) around this time last year?
Not sure the leanings of the Singapore scientists who say the virus will no longer be around by September in the Northern Hemisphere.
Anyone? 😮
@eladar saidI don't believe the virus getting loose in China's population was intentional.
@lemon-lime
Is it not amazing that it hits during the Trump Presidential re-election year?
But I do believe the Chinese government deciding to share their good fortune with the rest of the world was intentional.
@lemon-lime saidWhat are the odds? The odds are higher that it was intentionally released. The facility was being funded by US entities who oppose Trump.

@eladar saidYou asked why the Corina virus hadn’t brought your country together like it seems to have done in some other countries.
So how does that explain the other 2/3 of the nation?
1/3 votes Rep, 1/3 Dem, while 1/3 decide who to vote for at the moment of voting.
The third your asking about will be waiting to evaluate the government and opposition responses to the pandemic as part of their how should I vote equation. All voters in all democratic countries will be asking themselves that question the next time they find themselves in a voting booth.
