“FACE THE NATION (CBS): Dr. Anthony Fauci”

I wonder if he’ll be asked why, when he was walking out of the briefing yesterday, he gave the high sign* with his hand to that chick reporter (Kelly O’Donnell, I think) who gave POTUS the hard time.

I, for one, would LOVE to know when Fauci and O’Donnell collaborated on the events of the briefing.

Will he be asked about his history as it relates to financial support of the Clintons, and include his extended family’s support?

*(a surreptitious gesture, often prearranged, giving warning or indicating that all is well)

Florida Keys closing to non-residents starting Sunday By ABC7 Staff

| March 20, 2020 at 8:18 AM EDT - Updated March 20 at 8:53 PM MONROE COUNTY, Fla. (WWSB) - The Florida Keys are closing Sunday for the foreseeable future. The Keys, which are linked by a single highway to the state, will be closed to non-residents starting March 22. The unprecedented move will be a major blow to the tourism industry. But government officials in the Keys say they have to protect the health and safety of residents, many of whom are elderly.

Hotels, guest houses, short-term rentals in RV parks and vacation rentals have been directed to stop taking new reservations effective immediately. The only exception being made is for long-term renters in vacation homes and RV parks with contracts of 28 days or more. They’re allowed to stay until the end of their contracts. All other visitors must leave by 6pm on Sunday.

Government officials took action despite health officials in Monroe County saying there are no confirmed cases of coronavirus in the Keys. But officials are quick to point out that the majority of people who contract coronavirus have mild or no symptoms at all. The order in is in effect for the next 14 days and will be reevaluated on an ongoing basis

. ................

So Friday I had lunch with some of the powers that be in the Keys and the general consensus at the time was that eventually non-essential businesses will eventually be closed.

At first Key West took the lead with a mayor who is a radial leftist and wants the govt. to control everything. Cruise ships were banned which killed off those supporting the cruise ships,vendors,others related to 2,500 visitors getting off the ship(and plunking down $11.00 to the city of Key West which they don't care about,true idiots)and others like the conch train,bars,shops,etc.

Once that was accomplished they closed hotels,bars of course and most restaurants letting a few do takeout and as they say the rest as they say will be history in another week.The destruction of the conch economy will be all but complete.

In my industry,fishing,once the hotels are closed, there is nowhere for those who would charter fishing boats to stay and nowhere for the wives to shop so they are done as well. Some may fish anyway, keep a few to eat,pass off some to neighbors and sell the rest until even that is stopped by the conch gestapo. A few necessary businesses will remain open,hospitals,gas stations, foodless stores,repair operations, a/c,cars,plumbing maybe even fishing rod and reel repair hard to say.

But, 90% of the economy of the Keys will be destroyed with little thought as to how it will ever come back if it does.

All this started at the top with potus advisors like midget Fauci, slush fund operator Debra Birx and VP Pence who appears to be along for the ride. State governors have huge says and most don't get it at all and just go along with closing everything.Then it filters down to counties that set rules and regs and cities which actually have lots of control but hide behind the counties so the don't get any political flack.

At least here in the keys that's how the game is played. The governor and county officials take all the heat. The entire op is most likely politically inspired by the drivebys to topple Trump and the economy in one fail swoop. Accd. to George Webb and others the virus itself may have been weaponized,man made and then released,much harder to document however.

Seems Trump may have fallen for it with a two trillion dollar package although the jury is out.If anyone can make anything work it will be Donald Trump.

...........................

There is a sort of resistance movement that may have taken off in earnest Friday evening on the last half of lovely Martha McCallum's show. It was extremely well done and even Martha who is near impossible to gauge,left or right,seemed shocked to hear what the speakers including FNC guys Steve Hilton and others along with John Hopkins guy Amesh Adalja all had to say about the unnecessary destruction of Capitalism.

The last part of Martha's show featuring new opinions started with the Wall Street Journal which thinks we need more balance between the economy and closing it down over the corona. "no society can safeguard public health at the cost of its economy". They are right too.

What about h1n1 less than ten years ago when 60 million got the flu,350k were hospitalized and thousands died. It never made the news and our lives went on as if nothing was happening.how is it different from today

The Wall Street Journal continues: "Americas resources to fight a plague are not limitless and our resources will go down by the day if all this continues, we need a stronger strategy than what is currently being used" .They are right.

Steve Hilton continues by claiming that basically: "we can't protect ourselves from our selves forever." Hilton describes what we are seeing is "economic destruction on a scale that people are not really contemplating" . He will air his entire comments tonight on his show on FNC.

Hilton continues; he sees what we are doing as: "the great depression if we are lucky" scary at best. He goes on: Hilton tells Martha that by April millions of businesses will go under, "they got no revenue coming in"he states to the beautiful McCallum who is now blown away with what she is hearing. Hilton reminds the huge audience that follows Martha's show that small businesses have rent to pay, bills to pay, salaries to pay,." It's not gonna happen". He says there will be millions of unemployed.

Hilton suggests that rather than shutting down the economy why not focus on "protecting the most vulnerable". Great idea. Martha asks Hilton if Steve Mnuchin's comments about how we will get thru the virus quickly were said to be "just happy talk"? Hilton calls it wildly unrealistic.

Hilton reminds all that when dealing with an economy: you can't just press pause and then when you are ready press play he says it does not work that way". He's right. Hilton goes on to say all those Americans following their dreams will go bust it will be a disaster Hilton quotes Trump:"15 days to defeat the virus" Hilton says any longer than that and we will have a disaster.

Dr. Amesh Adalja comes on Martha's show after writing in the Pittsburgh tribune: that there is a real risk of destroying peoples livelihoods vs. what risk the virus will do,once again he's right. Adalja, a scholar at John Hopkins Univ. says that: "there are consequences to people's lives when you close down non-essential businesses." (what is going on everywhere) Adalja goes on to tell Martha:"people need to work in order to eat,in order to feed their families" he infers that some of the governors are "going too far" ! He goes on to say that calling off elective surgeries can backfire as well. What is elective? What is not.? People that can't get a colonostomy for cancer screening will we have an uptick in cancer? Who knows?

VDH also appeared but I can't find any reference to it that I can access.

More later.

I know John Roberts is a liberal White House reporter for Fox News, but I think he did an excellent job as replacement for Chrissy Wallass on Fox News Sunday this morning. He should be the permanent replacement for Wallass.

Is it possible mail may be the biggest spreader of the disease? If it can last days on a surface wouldn’t letters be a perfect place to land?

I see...bring all the former heads of the departments on that are fighting this. They can tell us how they and Obama would have solved this last month and no one would be sitting at home and the economy would be roaring. These guys will probably be the “team” for Biden’s planned daily Covid-19 press briefings.

After watching this Peter Gaynor character on two shows this morning, it appeared that this Wiki summary of him was VERY accurate.

"Peter Thomas Gaynor (born 1958) is an American emergency manager who is the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He was appointed as Acting Administrator by President Donald Trump on March 8, 2019 and became Administrator on January 16, 2020. HE IS WOEFULLY UNQUALIFIED FOR HIS POSITION and has shown as much during the Coronavirus pandemic."

_____

The guy seems completely incompetent, or at least seems unable to answer a question adequately.

Seeing him makes me believe that this government is in trouble.

I hope my observations were incorrect.

Not directly related to Sunday morning shows but the French researchers that did study in Hydrochloroquine have posted an update on their website. I am not a usual poster but if someone wants to post it may be valuable. Needs translated from French.

Where is Democrat, 2020 POTUS leading candidate, Joe Biden hiding...lost at sea. I will refrain from attacking Biden after I witnessed his last speech, when finished, Biden just stood there silent looking into space, not having any idea where he was and what he was doing. His wife Jill had to come over to him to lead him off the podium.

It is quite sad and sorry that the woman Biden has been married to for so long would let him loose in public to be belittled and laughed at, when he is suffering from mental illness, which he has no control over.

Shame on Jill Biden, Hunter Biden, the Biden family and most of all....the entire Democrat Party!!!

1)This is an article about American ingenuity and ability to get things done in a crisis.

https://www.westernjournal.com/stroke-genius-doctor-turns-1-ventilator-4/?ff_source=Email&ff_medium=WJBreaking&ff_campaign=breaking&ff_content=western-journal

2)Then there are the bureaucrats in governments who are writing letters to Veterinarians and asking them to give the State a list of all the ventilators they have, masks, gowns etc in case they might be “needed” by hospitals.
So Veterinarians are supposed to give up their supplies “for the common good” , things they they have purchased and paid for, and will ruin their business without use of them, all because the State is panicking and are not able to “think outside the box???

3)Drs. Fauci and Brix need to get off center stage. They are getting in the way of the President utilizing the skills of the private sector to help bring this economy back.

Many are doing deep dives into their backgrounds. Questions need to be asked about
all that money that went to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. They are also tied in with Bono and his ONE and RED foundations( with Obama as a spokesman for them of course), as well as Bill Gates.
I hope the comments Sundance and RodGuy made today will be noted by those who should be paying attention.

Don’t know if many of you saw this, but this is an important and I think, very valuable short video of treatment for this Wuhan virus.
Laura Ingraham’s guest is Dr. William Grace, who is a leading oncologist in this country and she actually lets him talk!
