Great point.

They should ALL give up their checks, while the country is on this shut down.

Starting with the press!

> 5 days ago they stood at that podium and said that WITH the mitigation in place there would be 100,000 - 200,000 deaths NOW they are saying OOPS we were wrong again bureaucrats they k ow NOTHING [...]

i drift in and out but would some of the uncertainty be based on whether or not states took the federal advice or chose to ignore it or only adopt parts of it? (dunno)

Just imagine what Trump has been briefed on, which I’m certain goes many levels higher and deeper than this terrific documentary, which I very highly recommend.

Tracking Down the Origin of the Wuhan Coronavirus
[OUTSTANDING DOCUMENTARY, PLS WATCH AND SHARE]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bXWGxhd7ic

The CCP virus, which originated from China, has rampaged through the world and caused more than 80,000 deaths, infecting at least 1.4 million.

The true number of deaths and infections is unknown due to the underreporting of cases from mainland China.

In the new documentary presented by The Epoch Times and NTD, Epoch Times investigative reporter Joshua Philipp takes an in-depth look at the progression of the pandemic from January to April and leads us on a journey of discovery to bring the truth behind the matter to light.

From the Huanan Seafood Market in Hubei Province to the scandals at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, from long-running experiments on viruses to military takeovers, suspicious activities arise from every corner. Through vigorous investigations and the piecing together of hidden information, the documentary will unearth a more complete understanding of the situation surrounding the rise of this pandemic.

Suspicions uncovered from official reports and publicly available information also sprouted more questions, leading to surprising findings and inquiries.

From an anonymous UPS delivery driver... 5 types of customers since the “rona”:

1) Steve: He has been waiting for this moment his whole life. He has been drinking boilermakers since 10:00 am in his recliner and his AR is within arms reach. He has 6 months provisions in the basement and a bug out bag due west buried in the woods. Steve demands a handshake as I give him his package. He’s sizing me up as I deliver his ammo. Steve will survive this, and he will kill you if he needs to.

2) Brad: He is standing at his window wearing skinny jeans and a Patagonia t-shirt. He is mad because there were no organic tomatoes at Whole Foods today. He points at the ground where he has taped a 6 ft no go zone line from his porch. I leave his case of Fuji water, organic granola bites, and his new “Bernie Bro” hat at the tape. Brad will not survive. Steve will probably eat him.

3) Nancy: She has sprayed everything with Thieves oil. Bought all the Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, meat, and bread from the local grocery chain. She has quarantined her kids and sprays them with a mixture of thieves, lavender, & mint essential oils daily. She has posted every link known to man about “The Rona” on her social media. She will spray you if you break the 6 ft rule. I will leave her yet another case of toilet paper. She will last longer than Brad, but not Steve.

4) Karen: She has called everybody and read them the latest news on “The Rona”. She asked for the manager at Food Lion, Walmart, Publix, McDonalds, Chi-Fil-A, and Vons all before noon demanding more toilet paper. Karen’s kids are currently faking “The Rona” to avoid her. I’m delivering “Hello kitchen” to her. Karen will not survive longer than Brad.

5) Mary: Is sitting in the swing watching her kids have a water balloon fight in the front yard as she is on her fourth glass of wine. She went to the store and bought 2 cases of pop tarts, 6 boxes of cereal, 8 bags of pizza rolls, And a 6 roll pack of toilet paper. There is a playlist of Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, and Post Malone playing in the background. I’m bringing her second shipment of 15 bottles of wine in 3 days. Mary will survive and marry Steve. Together they will repopulate the earth.

Fauci really needs to be called out over that. It is the third time he has made a friendly little signal to a media person who had just been fake-news and/or aggressive with PT. It seems to be an in-your-face to President Trump. Fauci knows that it has been all over Twitter and people are seeing it.

I posted this verbatim on my FB timeline this morning, after getting it in a FB PM. It has been shared 1.4K times. I only posted it to you because your name is Steve, and thought you might get a laugh out of it.

You make good points.

I think the only way out of this politically for Trump is to have him let the public know just how devastating the economic collapse will be, and how many will die, if the shutdown continues. Then the public will see apples vs apples.

Just seeing on another thread how Dr. Dwarf (love that new name!) leaked a doc to the press and was caught red handed at the briefing today.

Thanks! I think I resemble a shape shifter comprised of all of them at one time or another, with the exception of that Whole Foods lover Nancy (and unlike that other steve i might be more slow on expending ammo, never know when you might need it to make some more squirrel stew lol...)

I think he already hinted several times today that he is opening the country. "Staying home leads to deaths, too."

I've come full circle to agree with you on this angle. I watched that video yesterday; at this point it really seems to be the only possible explanation. (The other being that Trump is an idiot and trapped in a box. That might be well true, but I'm not yet ready to contemplate that reality.)

Those of us who knew about the exponential trajectory of pandemics understood the reasons for the initial emergency measures. Unlike you, once the numbers weren't taking off, I abandoned that position in favor of one that assumes CV has been in the US for at least as long as Wuhan. That position more logically explains why the socially restricted elderly & economically/medically disadvantaged co-morbids represent the lagging, not leading edge of a CV infection wave.

But, but that doesn't explain why Trump faithfully gets back up on the podium day after day talking about the "surge" that never comes; that is most likely never going to come. Instead, he rattles off production numbers, facilities preparations, extolling our military preparedness, etc. No one every seems to ask the most pertinent question, which is why isn't there "any there, there?"

So, I'm going with the "we're (un)officially at war with China" conclusion. That's why the carrier captain was cashiered - our advance position group revealed to have critical strategic weaknesses. It's why Pompeo has told every American to get back home. It's why the borders are locked down. It's why the governors are allowed to violate core constitutional rights with impunity.

It all makes sense through a national security lens.

I’m not quite sold on that. Fauci’s body language seems to indicates that he desires acceptance. He gave Trump a puppydog look when being introduced by Trump to speak in his first appearance after his first extended absence from the daily briefing (I suspect Trump took him aside and bent his ear a bit in private). Fauci can get cheap acceptance from the press corps because his job mandates that he feed them a certain amount of what they prefer to hear, ie, doom and gloom. IMHO to some degree it is his job to handle worst case scenarios. If he was as conspiratorial as some suggest, I doubt he would be so obvious about it. Remember, these guys see each other almost every day and so many questions are repetitious just by the nature of the situation. If they chose to be more combative, the q&a could easily become a lot more antagonistic than it is (which, granted, is embarrassing enough). So, maybe they are just being civil to each other(?).
