COVID-19 (f/k/a "the Coronavirus")

[#UnleashSean]

The lack of qualified health personnel he thinks will end up being the larger one.

This is the truth for this. We had one guy die in Milwaukee from a heart attack due to the lack of medical personnel in surgery. Most of them got shifted onto the COVID 19 operations. He was about 88 years old and not in good health to begin with, he could have been saved and lived a couple more years in a normal time.

Which hospital?  I know two surgeons and three anesthesiologists at Froedtert and that has not happened there.  They are planning for the worst, but currently they have roughly 20 patients and 4 deaths so far.

I've thought the same. Both Trump and Pence have been unbelievably lucky after multiple exposures and I don't know if Biden has confirmed exposure but sounds like Rand Paul made sure every Senator did. Have to imagine the luck would run out as the schedule got more and more intense with meetings and events

Even if he tested positive, would Trump tell the truth about it?

Ascension in Franklin.

Note they are not currently overrun with COVID either, however the amount of staff transferred over has created strain on other departments. Each patient requires a full time observer who does nothing but montiors everyone going in and out of the room for proper procedure. That will start taking a lot of people to do.

No.

Or Yes and his greatness would defeat the virus in his body.

Regarding some Govenors having trouble getting equipment and supplies:

Is the implication here that Trump is mad at some governors and telling private companies to not help those states??

[GooooMarquette]

No.

That's my guess. We would either learn about it as he was on his deathbed, or after he recovered.

Yes.

That's unnatural carnal knowledgeed up.

Putting US citizen lives at risk over something petty?

This was how it was always going to end. Blame blue state governors for the issues.

Trump operates in colors. These are blue states, brown people.

Today we are having a large spike in deaths.  MI, LA and NJ greatly elevated and I’m afraid this will be a tough weekend.  I personally wish we can start fighting the enemy together in this war—because it’s stepping up.

Guess this qualifies as good in a world of crap right now...but hopefully this trend continues.

NY's doubling rate is slowed from every 2.5 days to 4 days...

That's actually fantastic news.

New case #s are going to continue going up for 2-3 weeks, but if the rate of growth is slowing, that is a good thing.

[Coleman]

Yes.

Have we fallen so far that our President is willing to let American citizens die because they live in a blue state?

Yes. We should not be one country anymore too polarized.

[shoothoops]

In the all over the place, you just can't make this stuff up department:

Trump has now decided to invoke the Defense Production Act today after weeks and weeks of asking from Govenors, state officials. Why?

Because of his spat with GM and Ford. He is specifically invoking it so that those companies will make ventilators. Previously GM had a deal to make them. Trump backed out because retooling factory costs, $1 billion, $12.5k per unit. (which isn't expensive)

As you may recall last night Trump questioned the need for more ventilators. Again, invoking the act is something he could have done long ago.

I think he's term limited and cannot run again for mayor so when his term is done he's done.

That's some rare good news out of NYC.

That's not at all what was in the article from the tweet you shared. It says the decision to not move forward with GM was made by FEMA. The uncertainty over how many ventilators the country needs due to the constant changes in data seems to be playing a big role in the lack of decision-making here.

"The decision to cancel the announcement (about the GM/Ventec partnership to make ventilators), government officials say, came after the Federal Emergency Management Agency said it needed more time to assess whether the estimated cost was prohibitive."

"Those issues appeared to come to a head on Wednesday afternoon, when FEMA told the White House that it was premature to make a decision."

"Targets have changed by the hour, officials said, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Food and Drug Administration, which approves the use of medical devices, and the White House try to figure out how many ventilators to request and how much they should cost."

We have fallen so far that nobody is even surprised.

He had normalized appalling conduct to the point where everyone views it as just "Trump being Trump."

It's a symptom and actions of someone with Severe Narcissistic Disorder Syndrome.

There are several stories about it over the last 3 years from The Atlantic.  When I locate I will share.

Guys, we get it. There are a handful of posters who just can't reign in their disdain for Trump. There are a ton of outlets on the internet to share your mockery of him. This is not the forum for that.

And if you're going to post tweets or stories about him, at least make an attempt to share accurate summaries. This shouldn't be hard for a board full of adults.
