Actually, the news about death rates is good news. We have 1% of the population testing positive, or 3,500,000 and only 140,000 deaths, and we know that many many more that 1% of the population has contracted the virus. We have had annual flu deaths in the 80,000 range, so this is twice as band as a bad flu, not the end of the world. It will pass. Open the economy and stay safe, protect the vulnerable unlike what Cuomo did.

Good luck finding a justification for the headline inside the article. Also odd, title says GOP leaders visiting WH but the feature is Nancy Pelosi pushing the Dem agenda.

Factually what you say is true.
Nobody who relies on the lamestream media gets it though.

Pence has failed miserably to control the narrative.
The way the task force ran him might be sufficient cause
to remove him from the ticket.

Trump needs to step in and take control for him. Daily briefings on the good news and stats which refute all of the panic.

No one else is going to do it for you, Mr. President.

There is no virus crisis. There is just a virus “response” crisis.

Snap out of it, folks. I’d worry more about the flu. Seriously.

Remember, facts don’t matter to the liberals or the media. The media have decided that things are “drastically worse” now. Whether that’s really true is beside the point. The point is that they are eager to defeat Trump and are using the virus as part of their arsenal of weapons against Trump.

I used to think Pence was just another politician. Now I wonder if he is a cyborg.

Disagree with you about Pence- he did not shut down the daily press conferences. They probably should have had press conferences twice a week rather than shutting them down. That can easily be restarted.

The criminal liberal media will run their narrative and move the goalposts for the next four months.

And that is assuming those deaths are REALLY CV19 deaths.

And they are mostly the elderly, rather than children. That matters.

The headline makes him look like Nixon ... then you read on and see it is a routine visit over legislation. :-)

Gotta disagree with you there on Pence.

He started out okay by reminding us every day that the RISKS TO THE AVERAGE PERSON ARE LOW (which they are). That all got lost in the shuffle with respirators and pop-up hospitals and testing-testing-testing. But that key point needed to be reiterated every day of this event. Without that the media was able to construct a narrative that a positive diagnosis equals a tombstone, and they ran with it.

Also as leader of the Task Force they report to him. That includes Fauci. He needed to be telling him forcefully, several times a day, to STFU.

Weak, weak performance by Pence.

It isn't even as bad as the worst flu years.

Adjusted for population growth, the 1918, 1957/1958 or 1968 flu pandemics killed more.

(This is the 3rd time that Boomers have been through this!)

Seems to me this spike in the number of cases will drop off quickly over the next couple of weeks. Unless people can get this virus more than once, it has to diminish at some point. Maybe we will all get it eventually, but it can’t be on the increase forever.

The only thing that is ‘deepening’ is the heaping pile of bullshit pushed by the deepstate and the MSM. After Trump wins in a landslide, I expect him to go after these terrorists and panicpimps with a vengeance.
