he United States reached two grim milestones on Thursday: Fatalities from covid-19 topped 1,000, and it became the country with the most confirmed cases of coronavirus, surpassing China with more than 82,000. (Keep in mind, there is reason to doubt that Chinas tally is accurate, absent a free media or independent verification from an international organization.) We are only at the beginning of the deadly pandemic that President Trump once promised would completely disappear. Trump once promised that 15 initial cases would go down to zero but, of course, that was either a deliberate untruth or ignorance magnified by denial. (The apex in New York City wont be here for about three weeks, according to the states governor.)

Despite at least two months warning, Trumps disastrous missteps and willful blindness have stripped away our defenses and set us back in mitigation efforts. The New York Times recounts, A series of missteps and lost opportunities dogged the nations response. Among them: a failure to take the pandemic seriously even as it engulfed China, a deeply flawed effort to provide broad testing for the virus that left the country blind to the extent of the crisis, and a dire shortage of masks and protective gear to protect doctors and nurses on the front lines, as well as ventilators to keep the critically ill alive.

Interesting that the foaming rabid Democrat Media hyenas are going on the attack at this moment, almost like it was coordinated...
Her words are as ugly as her face.
Another WaPo Whopper. Their fabrications are predictable. Their distortions are daily. It’s the evil Jeff Bezos privately owned pulpit, but a pulpit of Satan.
Talk about a virus.... that face promotes erectile dysfunction.
More than half the total cases in the country are from the tri state area around NYC. Thats where the quarantines and lockdowns should be.
She is so incredibly evil.
I wonder what it’s like to be such a hateful person.
Too bad Ruben doesnt get sick and die along with the entire editorial board of the Wash Compost.
On the day we took the lead the Soros attack ads started here very slick and well done. Pretty devastating actually deceptive as hell but effective almost as if the entire thing was planned out over many months pretty deflating if I am honest.
Where are the Salem witch trials when you need them?
Stick it Jen.
Fix me a Rubin sammich.
Should have been done yesterday, like Lincoln did to the Copperheads.
Collectivism?
My eyes!
You do realize that testing is increasing everyday so there WILL be an increase in numbers, right? It doesn’t mean its spreading, it just means theres more of awareness of how many people are infected.
YES!
Except that 1. The US nearly SIX times the population of Italy yet Italy (with a massive over 9,000 dead), has NINE times the number of dead as the US
2. Italy has close to 90,000 infections with only 1/6th of the US population. The US urrently has 100,000 infections, nearly the same as Italy.
3. A big chunk of the US infection and death numbers are from New York where:
a. New York City health commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot, among others, who dismissed the incoming threat of the coronavirus in February.
The risk to New Yorkers from coronavirus is low and ... our preparedness as a city is very high, Barbot said at a Feb. 2 press conference supporting the Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade and Festival. There is no reason not to take the subway, not to take a bus, not to go out to your favorite restaurant and certainly not to miss the parade next Sunday [Feb. 9].
b. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio encouraged New Yorkers in early March to “get out on the town despite Coronavirus.”
The bitter, deranged, “will never be happy in this life” Rubin will be better off aiming her fire at DeBlasio and Cuomo.
Everyone who wants to know why infection rates are so high in New York City should watch this video from Tucker Carlson.
Does the WaPoo still claim she is a Republican/Conservative?? How ridiculous!
