Cannot Reply Return to Political

over the evidence of experts, when you have leaders lying about the efficacy of masks for the 'untrained', when you have health officials more concerned about the 'stigma' of travel restrictions than their effectiveness, and when you have political leaders decrying travel restrictions when 'they' did it but advocating them when its their ox getting gored...no, no the powers that be and officials didn't handle it well. Their repeated lies and hypocrisy is what did the damage, not the public.
Cuomo's bravado that "NY is better than Italy" flipping to the demand that respirators be seized rather than rationed, as well as falsifying stats by playing games with nursing home bed counts. Running the Comfort up to NY and then letting it sit mostly empty because policy and perception mattered more than medicine, . Newsome partying, letting movie companies run meal tents while shutting down small businesses. That's not the right f'ing things up.

You are a batshit crazy loon

Every single item in that list is a well documented criticism of the official response-
- WHO airborne -- Wired Magazine
- WHO travel restriction reluctance - NIH, Chatham House

The last two were rebuttal to "the right" did the damage.

As for the 'bat shit' and 'Trumpster' -- never voted for him, never will, have not voted for a Republican candidate other than Dewine and Portman since 2012.

Your act grows old, your juvenile homophobic insults increasingly pathetic, and your narrow mind on subjects outside your self aggrandizing habits increasingly obvious (e.g. your dismissal of OSINT in discussions with novadomer who happens to be a former IC official, or your knee jerk dismissal of me on another topic where the topic was something I'd been requested to present on by the Obama White House where you were utterly wrong and off base)

GFY.
To whom is your post responsive?

Did someone claim "only the right did damage"? I don't see it.

I see vermin claimed "quite simply more damage has been done by the right."

This phrasing implicitly admits the left also did damage, but it quantifies the damage caused by each side and reaches a conclusion about which side caused more harm. You can debate the conclusion. You can debate whether the enterprise is worthwhile at all. But finding two examples of "the left," apparently embodied by Newsom and Cuomo, also doing damage doesn't even respond to vermin's point, let alone "rebut" it.
