How long until he realizes postponing the 2020 election is a good idea?

Notice that Fauci wasn't at Trump's briefing/campaign rally yesterday? It's being reported that he is no longer allowed to be part of the brief team.

Another thing that was brought up: With schools nationwide closed for various long stretches it represents the largest education paradigm shift to homeschooling in history. Where is Education Secretary Betsy DeVos pointing parents to online and other resources to help with this? Not all of this should have to be done at the local level, especially school districts that don't have the funds or manpower.

LMFAO
Of course no one can get it without a doctors prescription captain obvious. For our sake Turner Coates, thank god you guys support abortion. But hey show 1 detail where this drug isn't effective yet? Go back to the insults the cheerleaders like that.

Hmm...

"Man Dead From Taking Chloroquine Product After Trump Touts Drug For Coronavirus"

On Monday night, NBC News reported that an Arizona man died after ingesting chloroquine phosphate, believing it would protect him from COVID-19. He did not ingest the drug in its medicinal form — which can be used to treat malaria — but instead in its form as a fish tank cleaner. The wife of the deceased man (their names are withheld for privacy) also ingested chloroquine phosphate and is under critical care. “Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure,” she told NBC News.

On one of Trump's Twitter feeds today, someone jokingly suggested this:

"BREAKING: It's been discovered that about 50% of cell phones have traces of COVID-19 on them! Trump's COVID-19 Task Force suggests microwaving your cell phone for 30 to 60 seconds to completely KILL the virus!
Thank you Donald for your tremendous COVID-19 Task Force!"

Okay so dickhead says he "wants to" reopen the economy by Easter which is in less than 3 weeks. Absolutely zero signs at the moment of the outbreak slowing down. I guess what it will come down to is if your boss or the head of your company is a Trumptard, you're going to end up getting sick. Or you'll have to quit your job as a self-preservation instinct.

Trump: "I want to repoen! Everyone's bored and we need to get the economy!"

COVID19: "Cool, do it. Viruses dont care about your feelings."

I wonder if Mitch McConnell thinks that mass homicide is an impeachable offense? Nah. Of course not. What am I thinking?

DeVos is a fucking stupid cunt.

Gave millions to #DonTheCon.

Silver spoon bitch.

Never spent a day in public school.

Never had any of her children attend public school.

Never was a teacher.

Never was an educational administrator.

She's a clueless POS.


Hate her as much as #DonTheCon.

Good point. Where the fuck is she in all of this madness? Teachers and kids need the person tasked with overseeing education in this country to step up *now* more than ever.

[TenBenny]

And this...

Trump now suggests that governors need to be nicer to him if they expect help in this crisis. He hates New York so now the state with the biggest COVID-19 epidemic is going to suffer. This is a criminal act. People are sick and dying because this guy's fucking ego got bruised and he wants to lock horns.

The asshole is too far gone to ever understand how kindness is elicited. If he had been a decent human being who cared about people all along, everyone would have been nice to him and worked with him, and then he would have felt obligated to help *them*. His diseased mind honestly believes he can be a vile person and that everyone should still show him respect.

She's not qualified for anything dealing with education.

There is a good meme (actually informative!) that shows a timeline of Trump's statements as this crisis has unfolded, basically showing him backtracking and spewing his usual nonsense. Now there is a PAC that put those soundbites into a commercial and Trump's campaign isn't happy about it:

Trump's attorneys are threatening the stations that run the ad to cease and desist or their FCC licenses will be revoked. This is how a dictator responds.

Trump Cabinet's Bible teacher says gays cause 'God's wrath' in COVID-19 blog post
Environmentalists and people with “depraved minds” are also igniting "God's wrath," according to Rev. Ralph Drollinger.
https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out ... d-n1168981

In a blog post titled “Is God Judging America Today?” a pastor who leads a weekly bible study group for members of President Donald Trump's Cabinet appeared to blame the coronavirus pandemic on several groups, including those who have “a proclivity toward lesbianism and homosexuality.”

America “is experiencing the consequential wrath of God,” the Rev. Ralph Drollinger wrote in a lengthy March 21 "Bible study" on his Capitol Ministries blog, which caused outrage among several national LGBTQ advocacy groups.

In addition to gays and lesbians, Drollinger — who The New York Times recently referred to as the Trump Cabinet's “shadow diplomat” — also laid blame on people with “depraved minds,” environmentalists and those who deny the existence of God for igniting "God's wrath."

May is now the earliest that MA schools could open.

#DonTheCon doesn't give a shit about lives, he only cares about the stock market.

Since Mueller and impeachment didn't get rid of this POS, hopefully this virus (and the stock market crash and high unemployment numbers) will.

So you can buy a new car for less than the cost of a ventilator from GM.

"Accounting for nonrespondents, we estimate that there are 62,188 full-feature mechanical ventilators owned by US acute care hospitals."

"Conclusions: The number of mechanical ventilators per US population exceeds those reported by other developed countries, but there is wide variation across states in the population-adjusted supply."

I love convenient editing.

There are considerably more pediatric-capable ventilators than there are for adults only on a population-adjusted basis.

Good news for children, I guess. Let's hope this info from 10 years ago is still good today.

[poisonheart]

A pack of cigarettes costs more than an apple. This is also borne out by the selectively-quoted abstract of a self-reported 2010 survey and is just as applicable to the topic at hand.

I’m sure Chieftard read the dissenting commentary in the same issue, too. He’s the ijwthstd of academic journals, after all.

Also, eagerly awaiting a thorough supply v. demand analysis (preferably with graphs) in the “Anybody else own socks?” thread. TIA.

But you at least understand now that only an idiot would scream about needing another 30,000 ventilators at the drop of a hat, right?


"As the coronavirus threatens the nation's health care system, hospitals are seeking tens of thousands of ventilators to help patients breathe as the disease attacks their lungs.

But someone needs to operate those breathing machines. And there aren't enough specially trained personnel, health care experts and reports warn.

"They're very complex machines, and you don't have enough respiratory therapists," said Dr. Thomas Frieden, a former director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"You're going to have to train nurses and others to run them," he said. "This is not a surprise. We've known for more than 15 years that this is one of the biggest chokepoints ... in saving lives in a pandemic."

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nat ... 914635001/

"New York is among the states with the lowest concentration of respiratory therapists compared to the national average, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data from 2018 that was analyzed by USA TODAY. The concentration is similarly low in Washington, the first hotspot in the U.S."


The entire PLANET got caught with their pants down. You obviously love the (D) but I think it should be clear by now that Cuomo needs to shut the fuck up. He obviously did nothing to be ready for this and it's a failure that will be shared by both parties.

Serious question. Is it necessary for this putz to hold a press conference *every day*? I mean the fact that what he tells are lies and bungled/incorrect information notwithstanding, is it actually necessary to talk to the public, even during an incredibly catastrophic pandemic, every day? I don't remember previous presidents appearing on air every single day in the worst of times. I don't remember W on television every day after 9/11.

Is this just more grandstanding theater for Trump? Does he think the repetition will drill into his fans and on-the-fence voters that he's really presidential and on the ball here?

[poisonheart]

Let us all thank Aris-tard-le for pointing out that adequate supplies of ventilators and qualified operating staff are mutually exclusive. Truly he is the light of reason in this cold, dark night.

[whammybar]

“I don’t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. You go into major hospitals sometimes, and they’ll have two ventilators.”

Damn, you are about the stupidest motherfucker....

9/11 happened that one day and it was done and was confined to only three crash sites as opposed to every corner of the planet. Recovery isn't the same as an ongoing event that continues to escalate and probably won't hit it's peak for a while yet. 9/11 had a tangible attacker, not some invisible angel of death floating around ready to potentially kill anybody.

The fact that Trump is ill-equipped to do his job doesn't mean he's off the hook on attempting to do it. Any president would be required to give daily briefings in this kind of catastrophe. Yes, he's a dogfucker but simply HAVING the briefings is not really a legit item to criticize.

There's a difference between daily briefings just for face time and daily briefings that give the public truthful information.
