I would say calling someone a disgraceful white supremacist has something to do with it.
The Left's disturbing reaction to Trump's coronavirus diagnosis

That is in no way factual. Just slander to hurt someone.

She can’t though. He is not a white supremacist, that has been proven time and time again. Also calling someone disgraceful is completely rude and based on a opinion. It is completely inappropriate to say to someone, especially the POTUS.

These leftists are quite a work.

"A former staff member of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton said on Friday she hoped Donald Trump dies following his positive diagnosis of Covid-19."

I have read Twitter is still allowing (at least some of these) leftist Trump death wish comments Tweets and leaving their account intact (not banning them from Twitter).
I have also read the Biden campaign IS running negative ads.

Then you don’t know many actual “leftists.”

This is the standard you set for me early in this thread. Can you point to three national Leftist politicians who have wished Trump would die? Or even had a “disturbing reaction” to his death?
I do not think his is a particularly reasonable standard, but if you are going to ask it of others, why not apply it to yourself?

It’s sad, isn’t it? Especially when landmark family businesses close. I realize it’s possible that some of those restaurants might have been contemplating closing before COVID ever came along, but I’m guessing that most were happy to remain in business and pass the restaurant along to relatives or close friends.
Several that have closed where I am were landmarks–but the very nature of their restaurant (dependent on huge crowds of people, buffet-style salad bar, close intimate seating in dim lighting, lots of tourist traffic)-made it difficult to adhere to the COVID restrictions. At least they are claiming that they hope to re-open when COVID is done. I hope that happens.
These are human tragedies. I honestly think that businesses should have been allowed to continue as usual (and schools, too), and implement mask-wearing throughout the establishments.
We have been wearing masks in my work-place (hospital lab) since the 2nd week of the COVID crisis (after Dr. Fauci changed his tune and told us we SHOULD be wearing masks), and to my knowledge (I’'ve been off for 2 weeks recovering from knee replacement surgery), no one has contracted COVID.
I’m guessing that SOME people in a restaurant would come down with COVID, but most would not–and there’s really no way to prove that the unfortunate COVID sufferer contracted it in the restaurant–they may have contracted it almost anywhere if they have been out and about.
We don’t shut down everything because of influenza (which is really awful and kills a lot of people). We don’t close schools because of Strep A outbreaks–a very dangerous bacterial infection for children and adults. We don’t sequester senior citizens away from all human contact because of the danger of contracting Staph aureus or MRSA–both very dangerous infections (although people are colonized with these bacteria without being ill). We don’t keep teenagers away from school because of venereal diseases, which are rampant among teens.
So I don’t see why we are destroying our country’s economy because of COVID-19.

I think we are not opening is because 200,000 people have died, and it’s still spreading.
Italy on the other hand had a much more strict shutdown.
They started to open up in May.
And the death toll there is significantly lower than here.
For example in the past 2 weeks they’ve seen just 38 new cases. Compare that with 16 confirmed cases just in the White House.

200,000 out of 350 million. It’s not impressive. It’s sad because all of these are real people with families, loved ones, jobs, lives–the loss of life is always sad and sobering. R.I.P. But the statistic itself is not frightening.
Italy has lost many of their senior citizens (R.I.P.). According to news stories that i’ve read or heard, many of these seniors were smokers (many Italians smoke).
Yes, there have been younger adults and teens/children who have died in Italy. But unless the news has been updated, the majority who died were at highest risk.
I have heard that the same thing is true in the U.S.–most of the deaths have been among those who had at least one, often more, risk factors: obesity, age, smoker, diabetes (Type 1and Type 2), immunocompromised (cancer, HIV, ashthma, etc.).
For the most part, healthy people who contract COVID get well with little or no lingering effects. Whenever anyone is sick from a virus or bacteria (e.g., influenze) that affects respiration, there WILL be lingering effects–tiredness/exhaustion, muscle pain, weakness, coughing, etc. and these effects may last for several months.
And there will be those people who suffer from more serious effects of COVID after they recover, including great difficult breathing–many of these people are the ones who had a risk factor such as the ones mentioned above (age, underlying condition, etc.).
But I still think our reaction to COVID-19–shutting everything down–was way over the top. It has destroyed our economy, it has wreaked havoc with our schooling, it has destroyed tourism, it has resulted in weight gain in a large percentage of people, it has exacerbated mental and emotional illness, and it has been the reason for suicides.
I HATE this shutdown! My husband and I are lonelier than ever, he has gained at least 15 pounds, and we are exhausted from working full time (we didn’t lose our jobs, although I am now off because of my knee replacement surgery), and taking care of my husband’s parents, and we are tired of this “LIttle House” lifestyle of staying home, especially now that it is cold outside and we have to shut up our windows and close our curtains. We’re tired of not going to Mass (which we avoid because we don’t want to take a chance on infecting my husband’s parents). We both feel like we’re living in a really bad dream. Our daughter’s career in entertainment is in great danger of disappearing if the shutdown continues. It’s awful–and yes, I know, anyone who comes out and talks like this is a whiner–just look at all those wonderful news stories about families who are doing all kinds of creative things during COVID. Well, we’re not. We existing. That’s about it.

No.
The death certificates for many covid victims show covid and another cause of death such as respiratory failure or cardiac arrest.
200,000 deaths are a terrible tragedy especially in the short time of 6 months.

The Media IS the problem.EmilyAlexandra:
Conversely, if you get all of your news from the DNC media at ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, WAPO, NYT, you will get an even more distorted and often dishonest view.

I would like to know where do you get the correct, unedited, truthful information about what REALLY happened? Do you personally go to every reported place and event, and make some recording so you can share it with everyone else? The media reports the facts AND presents an opinion about those facts. Every media outlet, from ABC to Fox and everything else in between. The facts are the same, the opinions differ.
But there are no “fake” news. It was not “fake” broadcast that the skinheads in Charlottesville were chanting: “Jews will not replace us”. It was not a “fake” broadcast that Trump said: “There were very nice people … on both sides.” You may think that it was just a “joke” or you may see it as an endorsement of the skinhead agenda. The fact is still the same, reported by the REAL media.

They down the street from “conservatives”, “pro-lifers”, and “Trump supporters.”

That description has been the subject of debate since before his presidency. The full page ad that Trump purchased calling for the death penalty of the Central Park 5 is among the things I recall DuVernay calling out before, but not the only thing. She is consistently critical of his behaviour.
There is evidence that it is opinion that she holds. While expressing it may not conform to some protocols, I believe she is being honest about her thoughts.

Your previous post decried the use of the word monolithic.
Then you laughably posted this. Your second post may even in fact be correct, but just delete your first post if you are going take issue with how people broadly-paint large groups of people.
The Fourth Estate has fallen to a partisan takeover.
