“WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!”
- President Trump
So say at the end of the 15 day period Trump says everything should open up again and return to normal. What does that do to all the states and cities that have ordered shutdowns through late April?
Smart. A well-thought-out decision.
Not once during this situation, as far as I know, has POTUS been the erratic, out-of-control person the RATs accuse him of being.
It was the best move given available info at the time and it should serve to identify infected individuals and check the spread of the virus at a critical time
That said, its very likely learn we are in far better shape than we expected after two weeks - and that we have a manageable response plan in place
“Does anyone really think this massive overreaction would have happened if a demonrat was in the white house?”
You don’t even have to think about this. Something much worse happened 11 years ago. The White House did nothing for six months, Fauci didn’t try to sabotage “his” president, and the MSM had no problem with the handling of the situation.
For me, this is “FluBro”: Although we know the WuFlu itself isn’t a hoax, we believe the left is magnifying its danger, and THAT is a hoax (no worse than the annual flu). It’s done to manipulate public opinion and the economy, and instill fear to harm PDJT and tamper with the November election. (As POTUS’ approval rating over this is increasing, it looks like the RATs’ efforts may have backfired.)
Flubros have our own daily thread.
“Cankles back when she was....errrrr...whatever the hell she was.”
I believe that at least one of Fauci’s “love” emails (there are at least three) to PIAPS was in reference to Benghazi. If true, so I guess she was SOS at that time.
Some downtime was probably necessary because our multibillion dollar public health bureaucracy got caught with its pants down. This whole thing has been a real indictment of bureaucrats.
Yes, specifically regarding her “What difference does it make” congressional testimony.
Brings into some question why governors are deciding questions of medical capacity in a state.
“Is not the CEO of that drug company the daughter of Senator Joe Manchin?”
I think that’s true — Mylan.
How nice for Joe’s family. Another kid of another “Joe” politician benefiting from Uncle Sugar. She needs to step down.
“Was that the epipen scandal one?”
Yes. Epi Pen. Mylan. Manchin’s daughter. Convenient.
“It’s destroying America far more than did world war 2. And much faster too.”
Then the RATs’ plan has been successful. And there you have it.
Conservative run states will quickly return to normal. Residents of Dem states will see that happen and the political pressure will become overwhelming.
It sure does. Mark Levin has been all over that topic lately.
Thank you Jesus. This is putting us all out of business!
We have really been let down by CDC and FDA.
I have been stunned by poor response, especially since serious structural problems were uncovered by the H1N1 fiasco a decade ago. The CDC used to a Gold Standard for infectious disease response but they have been caught totally unprepared for this covid19 event
Absent an explainable tech limitation or road block( ie it took us years to even identify HIV virus) the lack of test capability at this point constitutes serious negligence on the part of CDC - whose bureaucratic empire builders clutch the control of testing capability with tight fists.
Will be interesting to see what CDC has been doing with the 8 billion or so it gets each year. Maintaining a rapid ramp up and deployment of testing capability for SARS type virus is one of its primary, if not primary, missions and it has failed miserably.
God help us if we need a vaccine.
Looking like we may have got control of this in time but CDC needs to be held accountable for their negligence
Who is Steven Smith?
“With twice the number of deaths we currently have before declaring it a pandemic.”
I don’t think the seriousness of a disease has anything to do with “pandemic”. What qualifies a disease as a pandemic is that it’s over all (”pan” = “all”) the world, or an entire country.
“My read on this: Dr. Anthony Fauci has been benched.”
If only. Sadly, I doubt it. Trump has been extreme in touting that the group on the platform with his are “the best in the world”. If he axed Fauci, he’d be crucified in more ways than one.
Fauci could take one for the team, bow out gracefully, and retire now. He’s 79 years old, for Pete’s sake; nobody would blame him. (Of course, people still will say Trump got rid of him.(
Dr Oz had the French doctor who did clinical trials using the combo of malerial drug with 100 % effectiveness on his show. Will air 2 pm est. Seems the doctors wife watched Dr Oz and told her husband to contact him. Dr Oz was so impressed with the test that Oz is funding a test of the combo here.
