It’s true that China initially tried to cover up the coronavirus outbreak. It didn’t lock down Wuhan until Jan. 23. One study found that if China had acted even two weeks earlier, it could have averted 86 percent of its coronavirus cases. But another study shows that if Trump had announced social distancing guidelines two weeks earlier — on March 2, rather than March 16 — he could have prevented 90 percent of U.S. coronavirus deaths. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/03/trump-cant-blame-china-his-own-coronavirus-failures/

"We're on the other side of the medical aspect of this, and I think that we've achieved all the different milestones that are needed," Kushner told "Fox and Friends" Wednesday morning. "The federal government rose to the challenge, and this is a great success story. And I think that that's really, you know, what needs to be told." However . . . A new government report projects covid-19 cases will surge to about 200,000 per day by June 1, a staggering jump that would be accompanied by more than 3,000 deaths each day. The document predicts a sharp increase in both cases and deaths beginning about May 14, according to a copy shared with The Washington Post. It was not immediately clear whether the projections, which carry logos of the Departments of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security, are based on ramped up testing, the attempt to reopen some states, the time lag between a rise in cases and deaths or some combination of those factors. The forecast stops at June 1, but shows both daily cases and deaths on an upward trajectory at that point. The predictions belie the projections made Sunday evening by President Trump, who said the United States could eventually suffer as many as 100,000 deaths. At 3,000 deaths per day and rising, the national total would quickly outstrip that number if the new report is correct. The projections were first reported by the New York Times. www.washingtonpost.com/health/government-report-predicts-covid-19-cases-will-reach-200000-a-day-by-june-1/2020/05/04/02fe743e-8e27-11ea-a9c0-73b93422d691_story.htmlnews.yahoo.com/as-states-push-ahead-with-reopening-cdc-warns-coronavirus-cases-and-deaths-are-set-to-soar-182250157.html?ncid=facebook_yahoonewsf_akfmevaatca&fbclid=IwAR1fY5h9LjmHQl-JM_0qwgsN5Y5z2w9UDaqK6_rIWWDR2r2FA9oYoXBUR8g

The Trump Regime is certifiably insane. Any Trump cultists wish to defend this? 70,000+ dead Americans equals "tremendous progress." For anyone old enough to remember the Vietnam War there use to be talk of why don't we just declare victory and come home. Well, here's Trump's Vietnam. . . (Trump probably wants to disassociate himself from the coming 100,000+ dead Americans in the offing and set up Fauci et al as the fall guys). American Carnage, brought to you by Donald "I Take No Responsibility At All" Trump.
Vice President Pence told reporters today that the coronavirus task force created to manage the federal government’s response to the pandemic could be disbanded within a month because “of the tremendous progress we’ve made as a country.”
The task force is headed by Pence and made up of officials from the administration, including public health officials who have urged a careful approach to easing social distancing restriction put in place to mitigate the outbreak.
The person involved in the effort said it was “disheartening but clear” that senior officials in the administration, including the president, “are ready to move on.”

God damn, does my state suck. From the Journal Sentinel -
Supreme Court Chief Justice Patience Roggensack dismissed the idea that the outbreak was community-wide and could be replicated elsewhere.
"(The surge) was due to the meatpacking — that's where Brown County got the flare," Roggensack said. "It wasn't just the regular folks in Brown County."
Leaving aside the fact that the civic religion in Flyover's neck of the woods (the epicenter of which religion is in Brown County) has something or other to do with meatpacking, the racist subtext is stunning, given who those meatpackers (mostly) are nowadays.

I'm assuming "regular folks" = non-Hispanic whites? That's stunning to hear from a judge.

Chief Justice of the WI Supreme Court, in fact. Brown County’s about 85% white, so yeah, pretty much.

- His team followed leads from "Fox&Friends" on where to find PPE. - Took 30% of national stockpile for drive-through testing site plan that failed. - Had no experience in health care, procurement, supply chain etc.

In the time that South Korea righted its course, the United States veered into disaster. In mid-March, the U.S. and South Korea had the same number of coronavirus-caused fatalities—approximately 90. In April, South Korea lost a total of 85 souls to COVID-19, while the U.S. lost 62,000—an average of 85 deaths every hour. That the U.S. population is approximately six times larger than South Korea’s does little to soften the horror of the comparison. People trust the government in part because it works to keep raw politics out of public health. South Korea’s Ministry of Health has for months held daily briefings to update the public and convey best practices, such as social distancing and hand-washing. “These briefings are held by scientists, not politicians,” Scott Snyder told me. “Imagine having a 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. briefing from the White House, with Dr. [Anthony] Fauci in the morning and Dr. [Deborah] Birx in the afternoon, and no other members of the White House.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/05/whats-south-koreas-secret/611215/

This nurse was so incredibly deferential to Trump, and he still couldn't take the reality of still-limited PPE for our healthcare workers across the country. This nurse said she had been using her mask for WEEKS.

This nurse said she had been using her mask for WEEKS. Problem is - he hates being criticized by women, regardless of any initial deference. Gotta love deep seeded insecurities in the most powerful person in the country.

Gotta love deep seeded insecurities in the most powerful person in the country. Delete "by women" And by that I don't mean to imply that he has an equal amount of respect for men and women. He does not. He is just completely unable to accept even a scintilla of criticism, which is just another of the character traits that we love so much about him.
