    Just weeks ago at rally in Ohio, Trump said the coronavirus "affects virtually nobody"—just as many seniors, the group most vulnerable to COVID and many of whom spent the last year away from friends and family, are now contemplating spending the holidays, too, alone and scared.https://twitter.com/HotlineJosh/status/1312742026081959936 …

    Holy wow: NBC/WSJ poll finds Biden up 27 (!) among SENIORS. “The biggest declines for Trump in the poll come from seniors who are now backing Biden by a 62 percent-to-35 percent margin”

        Yep, it was embedded in a riff on young people. But it’s part of a theme, making statements playing down the broader impact—and I think that’s a big part of the age trends we’re seeing now. I’m not judging a single statement, I’m saying I don’t think seniors feel prioritized.https://twitter.com/jtcinct/status/1312771123264790528 …

        I am almost positive this was specifically in the context of referring to young people.

        I mean...there's no shortage of horrific Trump statements, but surely in this video it's absolutely crystal clear (when accounting for his standard meandering and run-on sentences) that he's specifically saying it "affects virtually nobody" _among young people_ (under 18)?

        That, of course, is not true, either, so I'm not gonna quibble about "out of context."

        It still hasn’t clicked that the best way to “protect the vulnerable” is not to rely solely on various layers of processes and procedures, but to simply keep the level of infection low Stopping 80% of 100 possible transmission vectors is more effective than 95% of 500

        Well he was right - the virus has now really affected a "virtual nobody"
