Many doctors fear losing their practices and wondered aloud if this was a concerted attempt to crash the medical system and convert it to a one payer system.


I think thats a goal, and some of the reporters slyly try to insert Medicare for all, illegals included , in their questions to Trump, who swats them like flies as he is too smart to fall for their games.

I found her co conspirators:

BENSALEM, Pa. - A man caused $500 in damage to a laundromat bathroom while stealing a large roll of toilet paper, police said.

The toilet paper holder was ripped from a tile wall, causing $500 in damage in the bathroom at the Fabricare Laundromat on Wednesday, Bensalem police said.

Accompanied by a suitably clad child:

Rod, I was in the Senior Foreign Service, the State Department equivalent of the Civil Service SES and DOD's flag ranks. It is not as sinister as it may seem.

" The Senior Executive Service (SES) was established by Title IV of the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) of 1978 (P.L. 95-454, October 13, 1978) and became effective on July 13, 1979. The CSRA envisioned a Senior Executive Service whose members have shared values, a broad perspective of government, and solid executive skills. Its stated purpose was to "ensure that the executive management of the Government of the United States is responsive to the needs, policies, and goals of the nation and otherwise is of the highest quality." The Government's senior executives would be held accountable for individual and organizational performance. To achieve this purpose, the CSRA gave greater authority to agencies to manage their executive resources and assigned OPM the responsibility for Governmentwide leadership, direction, and oversight.

Under the CSRA, the SES was set up as a "third" service, completely separate from the competitive and excepted services. It replaced over 60 separate executive personnel authorities covering from one to several thousand positions. Top management positions that had been subject to disparate rules and practices, with requirements for prior approval of almost every personnel action, were joined into a unified and distinct personnel system that provided for considerable agency authority and flexibility.

Since 1979, OPM's approach to executive resources management has gradually evolved from the traditional regulatory and procedure oriented approach to one that focuses on leadership, provides expert assistance and quality services to agencies and executives, and preserves merit principles and other governmentwide interests. Our goal today is to maintain a proper balance between the agencies' need for flexibility and OPM's responsibility to preserve the Governmentwide interests of a corporate, merit-based executive service.

The SES includes most managerial, supervisory, and policy positions classified above General Schedule (GS) grade 15 or equivalent positions in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government.

These positions are excluded:

-- positions requiring appointment by the President with Senate confirmation;

-- legislative and judicial branch positions;

-- positions in law enforcement and intelligence gathering agencies, in the Foreign Service, and in other agencies excluded by statute or by the President.

Noncareer appointments are approved by OPM on a case-by-case basis and the appointment authority reverts to OPM when the noncareer appointee leaves the position. Appointments may be made only to General positions and cannot exceed 25% of the agency's SES position allocation. Governmentwide, only 10% of SES positions may be filled by noncareer appointees.

Just receiving FOX NEWS Sunday...Gov. Whitmer, apparently, would like to see a Trump dictatorship correct the "patchwork" approach she now sees from the federal government to fight COVID19. Very troubling to see the kind of lackbrains who can seep into political power in this nation. The Gov is obviously a devotee of the one size fits all approach to governance so typical of liberals. The genius of America has always been and will always be its ability to avoid group think and use the ingenuity made possible by freedom.

A word about civility.

We see several Governors casting shade on The President (Cuomo, Inslee of Washington, that woman in Michigan, and probably the Nevada moron).

Trump was describing how he and fed. government do and provide all that is asked from them by the states, including these people. He says Cuomo overly praising the Chinese for sending him some med supplies involved much help from personal friends of Trump who were not credited at all by Cuomo. He came close to bemoaning the lack of gratitude from some, while thanking CA Gov. Gavin Newsome for being gracious and thankful.

This brought on immediate snarky comments by the peanut gallery in the WHCA room like “What difference should it make that they don’t show gratitude? What does that have to do with anything?” Implying that Trump should just do his job no matter how poorly he and his team are treated. Luckily he ducked off that one.The jackals were quick to pounce. But who cares if his hard working team gets demoralized by the ever-0critical, carping media? (Now they know how the Vietnam Vets felt and feel).

It just goes to show the hatred the media holds for our leader. Anyone is welcome to tee off on Trump and media will cover it completely. If anyone praises him (i.e. Pillow Guy), they are hooted and howled from the stage and ignored.

The War has only begun my compadres. It will be long and hard. We need all the Sarah Conners and John Conners to step up. We cannot count on anyone, especially Congressmen (including Senators) who are R’s and “should be” backing the President. A review of the list shows an army of poltroons, save for the few (e.g. Cruz, Cotton, Grassley, Blackburn, Kennedy, and sometimes Rand, Rubio, and Scott

VOTE...EARLY AND OFTEN

That's the game create a weaponized virus send it all over the world create a vaccine for the virus you created and now sell it to everyone in the world.

Gates Notes

When will this all end?

To bring it to small numbers globally we need a vaccine. Many rich countries will be able to keep the number of cases small (including the US) if they do the right things but developing countries will find it very difficult to stop the spread so a vaccine is critical. A group called GAVI helps buy vaccines for developing countries and they will play a key role once we have a vaccine being made in volume.

https://www.gavi.org/our-alliance/about

The Power of Partnership

Gavi’s impact draws on the strengths of its core partners, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the World Bank and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and plays a critical role in strengthening primary health care (PHC), bringing us closer to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), ensuring that no one is left behind.

Gavi also works with donors, including sovereign governments, private sector foundations and corporate partners; NGOs, advocacy groups, professional and community associations, faith-based organisations and academia; vaccine manufacturers, including those in emerging markets; research and technical health institutes; and developing country governments.

Something is up. IHME is hiding data that will show how far off the model is. Hospitalizations is a key indicator of how many deaths we can expect in the future.


Re hospitalizations . What is the process and the segmentation of patients.

In other words, you are pre screened to see if you should even be in a hospital.

If you indicate some symptoms then you go to stage 2 observation, possibly a test

That may be as simple as temperature, other indictors.

Stage 3 may be observation for x time and some medications.... Like an ER , you may be sent home or if severe enough hospitalized.

I think we are hearing stats that are based on not a lot of segmentation, and certainly the death rate doesn’t , to date, indicate pre existing conditions, age, including had the flu, progressed to Covid, had A, B or C that is effecting the immune system, and then here’s the data on those who go on ventilators out of all those people and die.

Just saying we have x numbers doesn’t give an idea of who is critical to prevent death if at all possible due to the underlying conditions.

We have a relative in an assisted living facility who has a continually deteriorating lung/breathing problem. He’s, 92 and a prime high risk candidate if he ever contracted this.

If he does we know its just not Covid that caused his demise....

Hospitalization depends on the need to be in the hospital. If someone can wait it out at home, that’s far better than shedding virus in the hospital and risking exposure to everyone else.

Our hospital has its ER numbers down, because people aren’t trying to use the ER for primary care anymore. So more of the patients coming in are true emergencies.

A more useful statistic than “death rate” would be “30-day mortality rate.” People are looking at the number of deaths and number of infections, and assuming the death rate is low. A lot of the people who die from COVID-19 are having prolonged illness before succumbing. A 30-day mortality rate would be a good reminder of that and separate better from the numbers of new cases.

But before Trump opens the economy, he must sit down Fauci, and any other dissenting “experts”, and tell them like it is (as John Travolta’s Chili Palmer did in Get Shorty).

“I have listened to you and provided my platform for you to share your views with the American people. I appreciate your advice. But it is now time to decide. I am in charge of this country’s economic vitality as well as its physical and mental health and safety.

“We must speak with one voice, and support my final decision. OK? Capiche widdle man?”

That is a good summary - Any Senator or Congressman who voted / will vote for these unaccountable, destructive INFLATIONARY and DEBT bombs called relief bills - these people are NOT Americans, they are the current version of the Roman senate circa 40 BC.

Yes, history does repeat itself. And this time is no different.

1929-1933 is here once again. And that lead to FDR and the beginning of commie dictatorship in the U.S.

The next few years will be interesting to watch

CBS - FACE THE NATION

I popped in during some doom & gloom chat which — in conjunction with Walmart’s Lean on Me commercial — I felt we’d just suffered a nuclear attach ! ...all hope lost ! ...end of times. My God. If the commercial was meant to be uplifting, it had the opposite affect on me, and presumably many others.

Thankfully, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb followed with some common sense saying several fixes can be in place by summer ( 2 months away ? ). He was likely referencing HCQ, the Australian remedy, and others.

Gottlieb —who has scaremongered lately—predicted an 80% economy, which imho, won’t be a bad re-launch. For the masses, he was encouraging.
For us, we know HCQ is ready now which drives us crazy because normalcy could follow quickly if DjT stopped listening to Dr. Fauxi

WuFlu facts are severely distorted. DjT needs a prime time address to correct much of the misinformation and open up the country on Easter Sunday in most of the country, releasing and using HCQ nationally, while maintaining care and cautions for seniors and those vulnerable.

they have no curiosity whatsoever simply since Trump mentioned it first

If President Trump had not mentioned it, he would be excoriated in the press for not promoting this "miracle". It would be 180 degrees.

Bill Gates’ father was the head of Planned Abortionhood and is a hardcore population control fanatic.

It seems Bill Gates owns the patent on COVID19.

Imagine if you will...

You are over the target Shalom aleichem! You have described the game plan.

The Rats need to take Biden out of the game and insert Cuomo in some capacity. Cuomo is getting as much airtime as POTUS, maybe more. The media are pimping him as they malign POTUS .

I am highly suspicious about that is really going on in NY from the medical perspective, esp. if CDC is saying to doctors use “Coronavirus” as cause of death, when the persons who died, had dementia, diabetes or COPD etc. Two doctors I know, treated 2 patients who died. They came back to work the next day and the cause of death had been changed on these 2 patients . Who made these changes?

...
This is the scary truth of what the source of all this is...Agenda 21 full bore...Rothschilds, Soros, Gates...all they had to do was get the CIA to coopt Chicoms...”hey, we can restore order in the world, we just need you to sacrifice a couple million people”...Gates’ vaccine...really?

He said the earth needs to cut back to 500,000,000 or so, so is his vaccine real or more like Jim Jones Koolaid?
