    "Biden's victory was a repudiation of Trump's divisive leadership and the president-elect now inherits a deeply polarized nation grappling with foundational questions of racial justice and economic fairness while in the grips of a virus that has killed more than 236,000 Americans and reshaped the norms of everyday life."

    Global reactions have ranged from "Get well soon" to "I told you so" to even more blunt "wishes" for Trump. Remember that we are discussing this in an educational context for those who are going to comment on this situation. How do you think this is going to affect the election with only 32 days until the election?

    I think that a lot of people are happy t0 see this happen based on what he says about coronavirus. Personally, I do not think that it will make a difference in what he says about coronavirus. The reason that I believe this is because Trump is most likely going to survive coronavirus because he is getting the best medical care around. I think after that he will still talk about how it is still a hoax becuase he survived it.

    I think that Trump didn't believe in COVID-19 until it actually happened to him and I hope that he will be more empathetic toward Americans going through this too. It did say he was symptomatic and that he is at high risk so there's a possibility that he might not make it.

    I think now that Trump has COVID-19 his political campaign will be impacted. He will need to be in quarantine for at least 2 weeks and with so few days left until the election, his campaign will be at least a little bit impacted. Even though he has COVID-19 I don't think his outlook on it will change at all.

    I hope now that Trump has COVID-19 he will be more willing to help other people with it and now be able to understand what others are going through.

    I hope that Trump is more willing to help people and realizes that coronavirus is a serious thing, now that he has it.

    I hope that Trump realizes that now that he has COVID-19 that it's a serious thing and helps other people with it.

    Its funny this happened right after he was making fun of biden for wearing a mask

    Hopefully, Trump is less insensitive to those who have COVID or have a family member who has had it and realizes how real and bad the virus can really be.
  • ethompson038 on 09 Oct 20
     
    I think it's ironic how after he's been saying for months that masks don't work and that the pandemic is a hoax that he contracts COVID. But even though he does have corona, he still isn't taking it serious. He's taking off his mask two days after the diagnosis in front of a sea of reporters and I just think it's despicable.
  • gozzello162 on 12 Oct 20
     
    I think that Trump with remain ignorant to the real effects of COVID and will continue to promote unhealthy recommendations to the public. I don't think having COVID will change him at all as he continues to display his normal narcissistic and dangerous behaviors that he always had

    It sounds like he is starting to take precautions and is learning from previous choices he may have made.
  • bradenlasale on 12 Oct 20
     
    I think that Trump is going to continue to take advice from the scientists but he is going to do what he feels is needed to "protect himself" from the Corona Virus. This doesn't mean he isn't going to not follow the ppe guidelines fro when in public.
  • kennalee04 on 12 Oct 20
     
    I think it's good he got it because he's learning how serious it really is. sometimes it takes the first-hand experience to realize the truth about something. I think this is a slap in the face to some of the republicans that didn´t believe it.
  • cmacias539 on 03 Nov 20
     
    I think it's kinda like karma for making fun of joe for wearing his mask all the time, although it does make him look bad because the president of our country makes fun of people for protecting themselves and taking covid seriously.

Facebook Quietly Suspended Political Group Recommendations Ahead Of The US Presidential... - 1 views

    Personally, I think this was a good move on Facebook's part. People should not be bombarded with fake news and tons of group recommendations especially around voting times. Those who vote should choose who they see fit to better our country and solve the social problems we have today. Fake news on social media is a problem all around, suspending political group recommendations is the least I think Facebook could do during these times.

    I think this is smart and allows less of a chance of changing someone's vote or sharing fake news
  • cmacias539 on 03 Nov 20
     
    I think this is smart because there is a lot of bias going on and a lot of fake news that may make it seem like one side is something that it's not.

    It seems as if we need a better way to tally our votes, maybe government secured voting so it can't be hacked?

US Sets Highest Number of New COVID-19 Cases Over the Weekend | AllSides - 5 views

    One of my parent's co-worker's brother is an anesthesiologist and he was scheduled for hip surgery, but there was also something else wrong with the man's hip that was deadly like a disease or something like that. The man also had covid 19. The man, unfortunately, passed away because of his hip, but because he had coivd19 it was said he died of covid when he did not. I think that it is important for the public to know this because not all these people are getting covid 19 are not always dying from it.

    I think that people are getting too comfortable and not wearing their masks as much anymore and becoming more relaxed about the thing they need to do to keep the numbers from rising.
  • mmailey052 on 02 Nov 20
     
    People are not going out in masks as often and not taking the safety precautions that they were when this all first hit so I think that is why the cases are rising.
  • shanarief on 02 Nov 20
     
    A lot of people aren't taking this seriously and are going into public places without masks on, or they're wearing the mask incorrectly, not sanitizing the correct ways, and simply aren't being safe.

    "6 News spoke with the principal of the high school, Mark Kalvoda. He said the picture was taken out of context. He said the picture shown online does not tell the full story."

    I definitely think that I would be uncomfortable if I was at a football game and seen this. There was no reason for these boys to do this ad all they wanted to do was cause a problem. A high school football game is not the place to do this or involve politics with it

    I don't think the students were trying to start stuff they were just showing their political opinion and no one should get mad about it because everyone is entitled to their own political views.

    From what this article said, it's starting to feel like Trump is just going to use the vaccine and the pandemic as a campaign advertisement just like he did with the Mexican American wall. He's already showed the people he's incapable of keeping his promises and to make one as serious as the vaccine seems immoral.
  • jcooley186 on 26 Oct 20
     
    I definitely think that the talk about a vaccine and medication plays a big part in his campaign advertising and that it really shouldn't be. Considering he can't just make one out of thin air, and even if there was a vaccine made, he can't take credit for the hard work of the multiple scientists and doctors that ACTUALLY worked on it. I agree with the comment above, it seems immoral.

    As a person with a family of immigrants, I believe that seeing "Columbus Day" isn't correct and better off with calling it Indigenous peoples' day due to Native Americans already living throughout the entirety of the North American continent. I wanna know if other people see it as Columbus Day of Indigenous peoples day.
  • cmacias539 on 13 Oct 20
     
    I think we should start sharing who all these people part of American history really were because growing up, social studies class always made it seem like Columbus was a hero that discovered a continent and came and had a party with the native Americans where they ate turkey which is why we now have thanksgiving. I think we deserved to know the truth.
  • gozzello162 on 26 Oct 20
     
    The idea that we should continue to celebrate this racist colonizer as a hero is absurd. Instead honor Indigenous people and their culture. Altogether Columbus was a person who should not be memorialized and celebrated as his actions against Native Americans are simply atrocious
