The @IHME_UW model got 60k deaths wrong. It then revised to 72k deaths. That’s also wrong. Their third revision is also likely wrong. Model assumes virus goes away in August. Zero evidence supports that assumption. We need accurate models, not wishful thinking. — PolitiTweet.org

@RussiaPapa @realDonaldTrump You misused “insight.” Also, fyi: https://t.co/EsWzpRn7BR — PolitiTweet.org

@Baug8i @realDonaldTrump I’m fairly self aware when I am awake. Also, you misspelled Your. — PolitiTweet.org

@ElDubitabam @realDonaldTrump I served on active duty to defend your right and their right to say stupid things. We also get to point out how reckless you and they are. That’s what free speech means. Get it? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@warriormama1019 @realDonaldTrump Do you believe #COVIDー19 is a hoax? I served on active duty to defend their right to say stupid things. And freedom also means our right to shame them for being reckless. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

This is what a cult looks like. They view everything through the lens of whether it’s good or bad for @realDonaldTrump, instead of whether it’s a good idea, a bad idea, or just plain insane. They reject facts & believe #COVID19 is a hoax. And they are likely spreading the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Being in lockdown until we find a cure is not sustainable. At the same time, allowing large numbers of deaths from a lethal virus is also not sustainable. Glad to see Governor @GavinNewsom taking a data driven, measured approach to reopening safely. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The American people deserve to know the truth. Misleading projections by @realDonaldTrump that consistently downplay the scale of this crisis are not helpful. #mondayreport — PolitiTweet.org

My wife Betty, who is a school board member, and I want to thank all the teachers who are educating our children during these challenging times. We are deeply grateful for their dedication, inspiration and service. #TeacherAppreciationWeek2020 https://t.co/OO4HXalQuC — PolitiTweet.org

Over 69,000 of our fellow Americans have died from #COVIDー19, the highest in the world. There is no evidence this virus is “gonna leave” anytime soon. You have a choice this November. Is the person below who you want in charge during a massive health crisis? #mondaythoughts — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

We can significantly reduce the number of Americans who get seriously ill or die if we had enough testing. That takes leadership from @realDonaldTrump, not wishful thinking that the virus is just “gonna leave.” Congress has put in a lot of funds for testing. We need execution. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @DrTedros: You have the authority to invite Taiwan to WHO. Taiwan got it right about #COVIDー19 at the beginning, and has done a good job suppressing it. You keep talking about “global solidarity.” If you don’t want to be a massive hypocrite, then you need to invite Taiwan. — PolitiTweet.org

@Geowood111 @realDonaldTrump I served on active duty in the United States military to defend your right to say stupid stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

@OverboostedOne @realDonaldTrump Thanks for reading my tweets! — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

This Lincoln comparison is the type of statement a narcissist would make. Also makes you wonder how much @realDonaldTrump knows about history. — PolitiTweet.org

A reminder that in February, Secretary Pompeo refused six times to say coronavirus was not a hoax. https://t.co/3kiwPLsYcj Keep that in mind as you read the transcript below. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

“The IHME model is based ‘on a statistical model with no epidemiologic basis,’ the Annals of Internal Medicine critique argues.” @IHME_UW model was wrong about 60k deaths by Aug, and wrong again about 73k deaths by Aug. @realDonaldTrump Administration needs to stop using it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

It’s Sunday afternoon, that means @realDonaldTrump is lying, again. His ban allowed in 40,000 non-foreign nationals from China and EVERYONE from Europe. And no, these folks were not tested. That’s why US now leads world with over 1,184,000 cases & 68,000 deaths. #SundayThoughts — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Another poll that shows @realDonaldTrump unable to exceed 45% in a head to head matchup. This has been a consistent pattern among a variety of different polls. #GoJoe — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

This article is a damning account of @realDonaldTrump & Jared Kushner ignoring science and facts. “presentations characterized the [death] count as lower than commonly forecast — and that it was embraced inside the West Wing by the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner” — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Today is Sunday. That means @realDonaldTrump advisors like Larry Kudlow are lying. #Coronavirus was not contained in February, it was spreading. So why were fewer cases reported in Feb? (1) lack of test kits, and (2) the first tests created by Trump Administration failed. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Over 67,000 Americans have died from #COVID__19 in less than two months. There is no evidence this lethal virus will magically disappear anytime soon. You have a choice this November. Is the person below who you want to have in charge during this life-threatening pandemic? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

We all should be relieved that the people treating #COVID__19 patients are doctors and nurses, not #MAGA pundits and evening @FoxNews hosts. #SaturdayThoughts — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Pleased to see that Gov Reeves, unlike some other GOP Governors, is not ignoring data and science. #SaturdayMorning Thoughts — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Firing the person who told you that some hospitals are not getting medical supplies and PPE does not change the fact that there are critical medical shortages. What it does reveal is your inability to handle the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

In a pandemic, @realDonaldTrump wants to sabotage the postal service. Really? The American people do not want rates increased. And if @USPS was gone, could you still send a letter across the country? Yes, but it will cost you $10-$20 with a private carrier, instead of 55 cents. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

There were over 30,000 new US cases reported yesterday & over 34,000 today. #COVID__19 is a highly contagious virus. These folks at Huntington Beach undoubtedly spread the virus even more. And Dr. Fauci said 15% of those who get the virus get so sick they need hospitalization. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

1. We all hope less than 100k Americans will die from #COVID19. 2. Rising deaths show @realDonaldTrump is irresponsible in calling to “liberate” states. 3. Even @POTUS no longer believes ridiculous @IHME_UW model, which wrongly predicted 60k deaths & 72k deaths by Aug. — PolitiTweet.org
