Phrase That Could Only Come From America

There are some phrases you hear and you think they could only have come from that country and i heard a quote today from an American doctor that was couldn't have been more American if it came with apple pie, was chewing gum and was wearing a baseball jersey.
The doctor was discussing how the Coronavirus hospitlisations are sky rocketing over there and how full the hospitals were and how the ambulance service across the nation were stretched when he launched this classic Americanism: 'The emergency rooms are so backed up that even gunshot victims were having a hard times getting to facilities where they can get definitive care and be treated'.
With echoes of when Donald Trump suggested drinking bleach may be an effective treatment against the disease (just in case you are wondering, no it isn't) he then went on to explain how the situation got worse after the influential podcaster Joe Rogan announced he had tested positive for Covid and was taking Ivermectin which is an anti-parasitic drug for cattle.
As well as Coronavirus and gunshot wound patients joining the queue outside American hospitals, now there are people who are poisoning themselves by drinking Ivermectin forcing the US Food and Drug Administration and American Medical Association to issue a warning that 'Taking this drug is
dangerous and can cause serious harm including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, seizures, delirium and death
'
The final word from the doctor was that: 'People are actually putting themselves in worse conditions than if they’d caught Covid' but he didn't add stop drinking poison but at the very least stop shooting at each other until the crisis eases up.

in a nation (The USA) where half the people (conservatives) want less government control and more individual freedom more than any other nation,

that has a money hungry press/news media that hates conservatives and is pushing for more government intervention in our daily lives and a remaking of the nation into a eurotrash nation (like the uk - you don't even deserve capital letters anymore),

that has 330 million people,

you will see some stupid shit because with 330 million people there are stupid ass people (just look at the uk, you have far less than 330 million and look at all the stupid shit people you have),

and the press will find them,

and the press will put them on the front page in GIANT BOLD FONT, or lead with it on TV/Radio/WWW,

and the press will find the scientists/doctors/pols that make these negative statements and give them more credibility than they deserve and not verify their statements and act like 10 people taking some dumb ass chemical is 1 million people taking it.

i've never understood why you don't stick to your knitting and fix all the broken shit in the uk instead of the steady attacks on The USA. envy? feeling small? jealous (doesn't really make sense unless you think the uk is still significant)?

instead of trashing The USA all the time, why don't you fix the uk and start fixing all the problems in the world?

the uk is so insignificant it takes work to find any information about the uk in American news sources. you just don't make the radar screen...

first do something as a nation, then be critical of other nations

and regarding drinking bleach, you do seem to be a professional journalist - liar. here is what really happened:

Joe Biden said: "And when it comes to COVID-19, after months of doing nothing, other than predicting the virus would disappear, or maybe if you drank bleach you may be okay, Trump has simply given up..."

DOTING, SPACED OUT LEFTIST BIDEN SAID IT, NOT TRUMP

Here are Trump's full comments (not the lying leftist journalist edited version):

"A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?"

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful."

"It wouldn’t be through injections, almost a cleaning and sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object."

and this just in. the alleged doctor had not been to the hospital in months. when asked the hospital said they are not overloaded with patients, and not turning away anybody (gunshot wounds or otherwise).

so FAKE NEWS and more far left BULLSHIT

The way i see it, if you don't like the rest of the world making fun of you when you do stupid stuff, you got three options.

1. Stop doing stupid stuff.
2. Carry on doing stupid stuff but tell your doctors not to go on TV stations that are received outside the US and talk about you doing stupid stuff.
3. Stay the same but accept the fact that the rest of us point and laugh at you when you do stupid stuff and your doctors come on TV to tell the rest of us about it.
