"8 days"
NEW: COVID task force meeting at Dept of Ed today at 10:15 AM, but Dr. Fauci tells @cbsnews he was instructed to attend via teleconference in Situation Room & therefore won't be able to participate in 11:30 AM press briefing. POUTUS criticized Fauci in an interview yesterday w/@greta

FACT CHECK: US coronavirus mortality rate not lowest in the world, despite Trump’s claim.
“As of Tuesday, the United States had the ninth-worst mortality rate in the world, with 39.82 deaths per 100,000 people, according to Johns Hopkins University.”
1,114 additional deaths counted.
Electing Trump President was a massive mistake. He's clearly more interested in saving himself than saving Americans.

Add these ignorant victims to Trump's death count. In April, when President Trump mused whether injecting patients with disinfectant could kill the coronavirus, perhaps no one was more thrilled about the suggestion than Mark Grenon. A judge issued a temporary restraining order on April 17, leading Grenon to claim during a broadcast days later that he had mailed a letter to Trump about Genesis and MMS, asking him to “intervene” in his case. On April 23, when Trump wondered about injecting disinfectant during a coronavirus daily briefing, Grenon suggested that the president knew about MMS, as the Guardian reported, although it’s not clear that Trump ever read or received any letter from Grenon. “Trump has got the MMS and all the info!!! Things are happening folks!” Grenon, 62, wrote on Facebook on April 24, linking to Trump’s comments. “Lord help others to see the Truth!” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/09/fake-coronavirus-cure-bleach/Throughout his presidency and especially the coronavirus outbreak, President Trump has avoided blame — to use a phrase — like the plague. When the outbreak took off and U.S. testing and medical equipment weren’t up to snuff, he blamed the Obama administration for leaving the cupboard “bare” (it didn’t, and he had been president for three years by that point). When governors complained about the lack of ventilators, he blamed them for not stockpiling them on their own. When things got especially bad, he started to blame China (despite having previously repeatedly vouched for it). “I don’t take responsibility at all,” he once said rather bluntly when asked about the slow ramp-up in testing. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/07/08/trump-is-making-it-harder-harder-escape-blame-coronavirus/ OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — President Donald Trump's campaign rally in Tulsa in late June that drew thousands of participants and large protests "likely contributed" to a dramatic surge in new coronavirus cases, Tulsa City-County Health Department Director Dr. Bruce Dart said Wednesday. Tulsa County reported 261 confirmed new cases on Monday, a one-day record high, and another 206 cases on Tuesday. By comparison, during the week before the June 20 Trump rally, there were 76 cases on Monday and 96 on Tuesday. Although the health department’s policy is to not publicly identify individual settings where people may have contracted the virus, Dart said those large gatherings “more than likely" contributed to the spike. “In the past few days, we’ve seen almost 500 new cases, and we had several large events just over two weeks ago, so I guess we just connect the dots," Dart said.

Pretty much their same approach for everything during this presidency.

GOPers aren't too bright, are they? How's that anti-science thing working out for you? The 33% probably reflects the Trump cultists.
Two-thirds of Americans now disapprove of President Trump’s response to the coronavirus, his worst marks to date, according to a new ABC News-Ipsos poll.
The poll released Friday finds that 67 percent disapprove of Trump’s handling of the pandemic, while 33 percent approve.
Trump’s disapproval number has jumped nine points since mid-June, a period that has coincided with a resurgence in coronavirus cases, particularly in states in the South and West.
While Democrats have always been highly skeptical of Trump’s performance, his standing has slipped among independents and Republicans, according to the poll.
Trump’s disapproval among independents has risen to 73 percent, up from 59 percent in the June poll. Meanwhile, 78 percent of Republicans approve of Trump’s handling of the virus, compared with 90 percent in mid-June.
The poll also finds that 59 percent of Americans believe the push to reopen the economy is moving too quickly. There is a wide gulf in perceptions on that question based on party affiliation. Eighty-four percent of Democrats believe things are moving too quickly, compared with 26 percent of Republicans.

^^^^ A fish rots from the head down - Trump plus GOP anti-science governors part of a death cult (Abbott, DeSantis, Ducey, Kemp) who'd rather listen to Nutjob Navarro rather than Dr. Fauci? The crisis demanded a response that was swift, rational, and collective. The United States reacted instead like Pakistan or Belarus—like a country with shoddy infrastructure and a dysfunctional government whose leaders were too corrupt or stupid to head off mass suffering. The administration squandered two irretrievable months to prepare. From the president came willful blindness, scapegoating, boasts, and lies. From his mouthpieces, conspiracy theories and miracle cures. A few senators and corporate executives acted quickly—not to prevent the coming disaster, but to profit from it. When a government doctor tried to warn the public of the danger, the White House took the mic and politicized the message. Trump came to power as the repudiation of the Republican establishment. But the conservative political class and the new leader soon reached an understanding. Whatever their differences on issues like trade and immigration, they shared a basic goal: to strip-mine public assets for the benefit of private interests. Republican politicians and donors who wanted government to do as little as possible for the common good could live happily with a regime that barely knew how to govern at all, and they made themselves Trump’s footmen. amp-theatlantic-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/610261/?amp_js_v=a2&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#aoh=15944603155805&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theatlantic.com%2Fmagazine%2Farchive%2F2020%2F06%2Funderlying-conditions%2F610261%2FOne of the Fox/GOP talking points soon to fade away. They kept saying but the death rate wasn't increasing. . . fools. The daily death toll from America’s coronavirus crisis rose sharply this week amid a dramatic surge in confirmed infections across the South and West that has inundated hospitals with ill patients and forced several states to pause or reverse plans to reopen businesses. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/after-months-of-decline-americas-coronavirus-death-rate-begins-to-rise/2020/07/10/261fb24a-c2cd-11ea-864a-0dd31b9d6917_story.html

“His death is due to the carelessness of the politicians who continue to jeopardize the health of brown bodies through a clear lack of leadership, refusal to acknowledge the severity of this crisis, and inability and unwillingness to give clear and decisive direction on how to minimize risk,” Among the leaders whom Kristin Urquiza feels failed her father, a Mexican American resident of Phoenix who worked in manufacturing, are Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) and the Trump administration. Ducey, she said, “has blood on his hands” for beginning to reopen the state in early May, roughly three weeks before new infections started to rise quickly. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/10/coronavirus-obituary-blames-arizona-ducey/?hpid=hp_hp-banner-main_obit-1255pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans

The abhorrent Trump regime putting out oppo "research" on Dr. Fauci.
July 12, 2020, 2:47 PM EDT By Josh Lederman and Kelly O'Donnell The White House is seeking to discredit Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, as it works to marginalize him and his dire warnings about the shortcomings in the U.S. coronavirus response.
A White House official told NBC News that "several White House officials are concerned about the number of times Dr. Fauci has been wrong on things." The official provided NBC News with a lengthy list of past comments by Fauci earlier in the pandemic, including Fauci saying in January that coronavirus was "not a major threat" and "not driven by asymptomatic carriers" and Fauci’s comment in March that "people should not be walking around with masks."

I don’t even see what the endgame on trying discredit Fauci is at this point. So they say his past statements haven’t always been right? Okay. He was operating on the best information at the time. Looking at the figures increasing literally day after day on their march towards 100,000 new cases a day, there is no doubt to any reasonable person that there is a significant problem here. I’m not sure what any of this ultimately proves except that Trump is still in denial mode. This just makes him look worse. Instead of helping address the problem, Trump is trying to discredit people who say it’s a serious issue. Denial seems to have worked so well up to this point, as his plummeting approval numbers indicate. He’s flailing all over; this is just utter desperation.

Denial seems to have worked so well up to this point, as his plummeting approval numbers indicate. He’s flailing all over; this is just utter desperation. Agree. Putting all other things aside, Trump should be deemed unfit/unable to perform the duties of his office specifically for his "handling" of the pandemic. He's spent the last 7 months demonstrating exactly that fact.

Even if Fauci is/was wrong, who cares? The numbers are terrible right now. Discrediting (or maybe more accurately, smearing) one particular doc isn’t going to change that fact.
