#COVID19 THREAD 📌
I've been sick since April, lost hearing in one ear, had "sudden cardiomyopathy" (aka #BrokenHeartSyndrome), then was dxd with #CongestiveHeartFailiure. I fear I will never get well. About 40% of people with #COVID19 have heart or kidney problems happen.
Trump is now shopping the narrative, created for the #RNC2020, that #COVID19 is not that big a deal & that in "99% of cases you just recover." But that is in fact, false. @CNN reported Monday just how extensive #longhaulers are now--and how they are predominantly people under 50.
Also, most #longhaulers had no #PreExistingConditions prior to getting #COVID19.
Part of Trump's re-election strategy is to diminish the impact of his catastrophic mishandling of #CoronavirusPandemic. Hence the revisionist RNC story of how he & Pence saved "millions" of lives.
While folks focus on #Kenosha & #Portland, the most impactful--and dangerous--narrative Trump is pushing is that the #pandemic and concomitant death toll is a #COVIDHoax. There were many people--not MAGAs-- in my mentions asking me to explain the CDC report Trump misrepresented.
🔊 This is the new talking point. It dovetails with the election and in-person voting. If #COVID mortality is really just a Democratic hoax, then there's no reason why people can't vote at the polls. Get it? I warned you in hundreds of pieces in 2015/16. Listen this time, please.
