Gee isn’t that a “flip-flop” ?
He tried the strategy of making a really ugly face and holding it to scare away the virus. It didn’t work.
Got the idea from ritual masks worn by primitive dancers in places like Africa and Haiti.
Probably repelled a lot of voters, though.
It would interesting to know where hotspots are connected to folks who were encouraged by NYC authorities to defy the virus and visit Chinatown to support the Chinese holiday just a few months ago.
Hmm. I sense a trend. President Trump announces he’s ordered x,y,z. Dementia Joe announces days later as president he would do x.y,z.
President Trump states that he intends to issue county by county instructions to all 50 states based upon data gathered since the outbreak and Dem Cuomo days later comes out and basically restates the same thing.
The Media hammers Trump for saying those things. The media praises Dems for restating positions President Trump has already stated.
Dear Mr. dumb a**....You just proved you’re not Presidential material. You can’t make decisions after the fact. You use the facts you have. Nitwit!!
It is like the flu.....they should have said everyone sick stay home..if your old be careful...and if your olld and sick stay home..
They had no data and the CDC panicked with there MODELS....
Where I live they just closed all the parks and swimming pools..and the beach...
Next they will close the sidewalk...
WalMart and Public are the only ones in town open...also Loews and Homedept are stll open..
Guess what the Private Golf and country Clubs are OPEN
So you would want to put the chldren in homes until you decided to release them? Yeh...right.
Tucker Carlson slams NYC leaders for ‘endangering’ public in early stages of coronavirus pandemic
https://www.foxnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-nyc-leaders-endangering-public-coronavirus
Carlson criticized 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].”
It was inevitable that the same people quarantined together would expose each other. So, it happened quicker. Just get this over with.
When universities announced they were closing up and sending kids home I really thought that was really dumb...you were just bringing young and old together probably at the worst time the virus broke out. They should not have been sent home until they were tested at least.
The difference is it is shedding a week or earlier before symptoms. The flu is contagious during symptoms.
The Cuomo 2024 campaign is dying in record time.
Remember, POTUS Trump is never allowed to say “on second thought” without being slaughtered by the DNC Media and the Rat Party.
Cuomo is trash. He trashed NY. I was born way up state, and; these Demo”rats” trashed NY from NYC to Malone. My grandfather’s camp overlooked Valcour Island.
The use of quarantines works if you isolate populations early in the outbreak to prevent mixing and spread of the virus. In New York’s case, they were receiving travelers from China and Italy long after those areas became hotspots and thus seeded their own population with the virus. The Trump travel ban wasn’t until January and the virus was well established asymptomatically in New York by that time.
Watching the media narrative emerge it is clear what the next hoax will be. The strategy is to blame Trump for the medical chaos that is emerging in blue states and cities due to the incompetence of the local officials to take action. They are political hacks and lack the management skills to mount an effective plan. They have also squandered budgets for years due to massive corruption that has depleted their ability to meet public needs.
They used this narrative against Bush with Katrina and they are dusting it off for Trump on a national scale.
In the absence of an effective safe vaccine and ignorance about the genetic susceptibility to this pathogen, the best a quarantine can do is flatten the curve a bit. As soon as people venture forth the over all infection rate and the percentage of people becoming seriously ill and dying will remain the same. It makes sense to flatten the curve so as not to overwhelm the strained health care system. However the total number of deaths without effective treatments will remain the same. Some are making a valid argument that if a prolonged quarantine results in economic decline, the poverty, social and political unrest have its own associated mortality rate independent of the direct effect of the virus.
It is vitally important, however politically incorrect, to properly identify those who have a genetic susceptibility to this virus and to understand just what underlying medical conditions, habits and circumstances contribute to that susceptibility and the development of serious illness.
Same way with closing schools...it is the old GRAND Parents taking care of the kids....
The parents work..if they get it it goes to the kids and to the Grand Parents
