Trump VS COVID-19 Threat

Half-Life said:
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi toured San Francisco’s Chinatown to send a message. She said there’s no reason tourists or locals should be staying away from the area because of coronavirus concerns.

“That’s what we’re trying to do today is to say everything is fine here,” Pelosi said. “Come because precautions have been taken. The city is on top of the situation” …

As Pelosi walked from the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory to lunch at a dim sum restaurant, she hugged friends and waved to onlookers. She downplayed the racism issue, saying she understands people are concerned about China – the epicenter of the novel coronavirus.

“But that shouldn’t be carried over to Chinatown in San Francisco,” she said. “I hope that it’s not that. But all I can say is, ‘I’m here.’ We feel safe and sound, so many of us coming here.”

Any evidence that Chinatown was an infection hotspot? They were being shunned because they were Chinese, not because there was a problem.

1 in 5 people tested in New York City had antibodies for the coronavirus



As I suspected - the spread of the virus vastly out-paces the disease. This is probably great news, and the mortality rate could be as low as only a few times that of the seasonal flu.


OTOH -
it is still not known whether or not these people are now immune to it.

It would seem obvious that this is a question that urgently needs to be answered. It's just a shame that the Trump Crime Family is so opposed to truth simply because it is the truth, that even good news needs to be suppressed. But once someone can explain to Cheato how extremely widespread testing could exonerate him and make him a national hero by November, he'll be all over it claiming nobody knew, he was the first to put it together, nobody knows more about it than him etc. etc.

There's a problem with this--we do not yet have an antibody test that doesn't have cross-reaction problems. Any estimates based off this must be taken with a grain of salt.

We Won’t Know the Exact Moment When Democracy Dies | The New Yorker
In the early days of the Trump Presidency, there was a lot of speculation about when, if, and how we would pass the point of no return, when we would know that American democracy had been destroyed. That conversation faded after a while, drowned out by the din of Trumpian news. The coronavirus pandemic has brought it back. Will Trump use the virus to establish autocracy? Is American democracy dead? Just in the past few days, Trump has asserted that the Presidency gives him “total” authority, made sure that his name will appear on the stimulus checks that Americans will receive, and threatened to adjourn Congress in order to fill Administration vacancies without waiting for Senate confirmation. Is this the definitive end of American democracy? No, but only because when a democracy dies there is rarely a definitive time of death. Democracy is never pronounced dead at the scene.

Maxine Waters on Twitter: "Trump, when are you going to say a word of sympathy & condolences to the families & friends of the 50k coronavirus victims who’ve died in our country & even the others who’ve died around the world? Have you no empathy? Have you no compassion or decency?" / Twitter

Reminds me of McCarthy-Welch Exchange During the Army-McCarthy Hearings - Online Speech Bank with its famous line "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"

The idiot asked whether his doctors would look into:

1) shining light on people to kill the virus
2) whether disinfectant could be used to kill the virus in people’s bodies

This is only negligibly better than telling people to do those things!
Click to expand...

Quick question....if Bonespurs did NOT suggest people take disinfectant to kill the virus, why is he now insisting he said it sarcastically?
Click to expand...

Trump said that his professional staff should look into shining light on/into people and whether disinfectant could work internally.

This could be taken to mean he thinks it could work, but ultimately asked his staff to look into aersolizing fucking lysol and patients breathing it.

It is the dumbest fucking thing ever stated by a President. It wasn’t sarcasm. Sarcasm is either understood or you make it clear it wasn’t understood. You wouldn’t want people thinking that you honestly thought inhaling lysol was a good idea.

We know he makes his people lie for him constantly. The guy that was just fired who was heading the vaccine team, Dr. Brown iirc, said he lied for Trump too.
 
If President Trump was telling his medical experts to explore a possible solution, why would he do so by way the Washington Press Corps? Why not tell those experts directly?

Last foreclosure crisis started 12 years ago, & it went on for years.
Kids who were 5-15 then are 17-27 now.
Now unemployed and still pissed about parents crying at the kitchen table trying to save their childhood home.
There will be riots.
No boy watches his mom cry twice.

There has been a change in perception since then.
More talk about structural unfairness in economy.
More "we're all in this together"
People already lived through a recession and crime wave where houses were stolen without consequences.
Hope I'm wrong.

A survey among Sanders supporters was 25% personally knew someone who died bc of no healthcare.
Obama to Trump precincts exactly track largest percentage foreclosure precincts.
Interviews with kids who were foreclosed on are brutal.
Kids don't see shades of gray, they hate. 1/

Right now some US cities have eviction rate of over 30% per year. That's some never evicted and some evicted 3x.
Much more homeless school kids, working homeless families, people depending on food pantries.
We've gone from <2% needing pantries to much higher numbers.
3/

5+ year wait for subsidized housing (section 8)
In my area hasn't been open to join waiting list for years at a time since 1980.
You apply now, wait 8 years for interview, if you're still poor you get a voucher. So no quick response.
Most jobs created after 2008 paid <$20/hr.

Most jobs lost after 2008 paid >$20/hr.
Gig economy, on call status for all minimum wage jobs, they won't pick how many cashiers in advance.
Most workers kept under 35 hours, punished with under 20 if they "cause trouble"
No OSHA enforcement, poor safety & training = accidents.

I don't have links for this stuff, but it can be looked up.
Democrats passed covid relief #4 without help for people, say it will be in #5 after they recess for 30 days.
Rent is due in 7 days, most places don't have rent/eviction policies in place.
Hope I'm wrong.

I'm not rooting for riots, I'm scared of them.
That said, what do you do with no job, delayed unemployment, 6 weeks of front line risk as cashiers.
Min.wage workers see nobody cares if they die. We could require stores to provide PPE as health department law but don't.

Talk of strikes & anger in current workers who see benefits going to office jobs.
My big fear is rental evictions by swat teams, tanks.
2nd fear no food.
3rd overwork, illness for min wage workers..
Pelosi could prevent this, but they'll be too late for June now.

Obviously Trumpo was just blowing shit out his hole and running his stupidity up the flagpole. He doesn't want to give up the spotlight so his handlers are now trying to find a way to make him not appear as stupid as he actually is, they want him to let others handle the briefings about Covid-19 to save the embarrassment.

The problem is that when you have a person that is so stupid they don't see themselves as stupid - and that's Trumpo.

Yeah. The Tweeting Trump is the same Trump as the one who pontificates in the helicopter backdraft. In fact, the Tweeting Trump is the truer image -- a chubby 73-year-old, the world's top expert on, well, everything, who can't wait to spew the outrageous horseshit he heard last night on Fox. And he's so misunderstood!! Only the MAGA-hatters can see past the fake news and see the real hero. Sorry, fuck hero: SAVIOR.

That's excellent news - it implies that only about 1,500,000 Americans are going to die.

So what, 30,000 to 70,000 die of the flu every year.

That's only about .4% of the population. Not even half of 1 percent. I would say anybody would sign up for that in a heartbeat, especially since China lied to the world since the beginning. Somehow, they will pay for this.

Anybody who says "China doesn't have to pay for lying to the world" is a complete idiot in my book. Possibly even a traitor to America.
