She has no hesitation, however, about going in every day to care for these folks, and I am very proud of her.
That is absolutely damning."Mr. Trump was walking up the steps of Air Force One to head home from India on Feb. 25 when Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, publicly issued the blunt warning they had all agreed was necessary.But Dr. Messonnier had jumped the gun. They had not told the president yet, much less gotten his consent.On the 18-hour plane ride home, Mr. Trump fumed as he watched the stock market crash after Dr. Messonnier’s comments. Furious, he called Mr. Azar when he landed at around 6 a.m. on Feb. 26, raging that Dr. Messonnier had scared people unnecessarily."FEBRUARY 25!!!!
His reaction is damning and often is because he wants to be in charge. The question whether anything should have been done sooner based on the real information given to him is the actual question. Here is what the argument will be to his supporters. Fauci, a scientist, said Americans should not be worried in January. He was interviews this morning and confirmed. WHO, scientists and health officials, in January said this is animal to human only, not human to human. On March 1st the US had one death. By the time the US shut down travel to China, a position opposed by significantly powerful voices at the time, other powerful nations had not done so. They have scientists and spies, too. The Navarro memo said a huge number could die, it also said the number could be zero. It wasn’t a range of 100k to 500k, but nothing to a high number. The worst kind of advice because it is so extreme.My son sent this to me today, this is exactly the playbook he will run. Sharing this to illustrate how that side will argue their case. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1249372642454515712?s=21
Well, the excess (above $1B each) for the US billionaires is $2.6T. That is roughly 12% of the entire US GDP. It would amount to $8k for every single American.Also, I didn't mean "literally long enough to wait out a vaccine/cure". But it could buy 3-4 months.
Why is this thread listed under "child boards"? What that mean
Wow ... lots here, rocket.1. Elections Have Consequences. Totally agree. So let me ask you this ... Did the 2018 election also have consequences? You know, the one in which suburban women were so repulsed by the president that they showed up in droves to turn House districts that had been Republican for decades over to the Dems. Which, of course, led to the impeachment that you so often decry. Don't like it? Tough! Elections have consequences! As for the consequences of the 2016 election, we're certainly seeing them now. We as a country elected a man who ran on a platform of science denial, who spent years appointing unqualified people to important jobs (and firing them and hiring the next group of unqualified hacks), who was uniquely unprepared for the presidency, and who cares only about himself. Tens of thousands dead, and probably more, not to mention all those scarred for life physically, financially and emotionally.
Might be true in Germany, but the US of A has wayyyyy more fat pepole, diabetic people, and people with heart disease than Germany. No way our mortality rate is that low.3% is certainly high (mild/asymptomatic cases being undercounted), but I'd be very, very surprised if USA's mortality rate is under 1%.
Fauci suggests it may be considerably less than 1% in late February before major actions were taken. He is the CDC and a scientist. These are the people the administration listens to. When we say here listen to the scientists it sounds as though that has happened and their opinions keep changing. The models do, too.
In all honesty, both of them concern me because they would be in their mid-80s by the end of a second term. That said, I would take a good man in decline over the current occupant of the office. And FWIW - if Biden or Bernie were elected and then lost it, I am confident they would have the grace to willingly hand the reins over to their VP.
The world is at its end. Good night

I think the bigger problems are that people don't understand science, and then misreport on what science says. There is a difference between the "actual" mortality rate being less than 1%, and the reported US mortality rate being higher. The former is independent of anything, and is an intrinsic aspect of the disease. It assumes that proper healthcare is accessible, and the demographics of a nation follow normal distributions.The latter is extremely dependent on testing. We are nowhere near accurate in the reported number of cases, or the total number of deaths.I think you are well aware of this, but are intentionally ignoring these aspects to push your agenda. That is the biggest problem, people intentionally distort science to push political agendas. That simultaneously decreases peoples trust in science, and increases the lack of science literacy in our nation.
I will agree we do not have actual numbers on the cases or deaths. That said I would say the number of cases is far beyond the number of deaths we do not know and thus pushes the number down rather than up.
the prez didn't like their message, so imposed his will on them.
Govt is just trying to delay the inevitable rioting, looting, etc that will occur. The world is at its end. Good night and God bless.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
