    Well there isn't really any time to spend taking these clowns seriously just so their feelings don't get hurt. We have two crisis occurring, one a virus, and two a recession. Trump is smart if he just focuses on what 99% of us care about.

    Except Trump DOESN'T.

    He is more interested in using the briefings to grandstand and attack the press.

    Trump only focuses on ONE THING = TRUMP.

    He is a Frightened Pea-Brained Mentally-Unstable Megalomaniac.

    His Election was the WORST Mistake this country ever made.

    Trump's Mistaken Election will FOREVER Be A STAIN on the History of the Republic.

    Very sad. :smh:

    Oh that's right it was the Obama/Biden administration that failed to close the borders to all but essential traffic and restrict air travel to the country of origin.

    Dunno. As I said, a drover's dog will be as useful as Humpty Trumpty. He was challenged with a serious problem and he, typically, tried to brush it off with dismissive crap.

    Frankly, if Trump sounded the alarms on day one and declared a national emergency(whether it was 1 case or 15 cases) all that would've happened is we would've been living in this draconian new world sooner. The governors became our mini-Stalins and here we are to submit.

    When we consider the stimulus bill, it is the first shifting of political power before the November elections in our country's history.

    That had a much lower death rate.

    The strain of influenza also turned out to have a case fatality rate of just 0.02%well below even many typical seasonal influenzas.

    Trump SHOULD have sounded alarms on Day One. What did he do? He dismissed it as a nothing. No national emergency or even anything required. Just an acceptance/assurance that Trump the JC Incarnate and his mighty USA could and will withstand this thing. After all this is the USA.

    No-one could.

    BUT, you do not pretend that it will go away as Trump did......with April heat and dumb assertions of a vaccine just weeks away. And, the best point he ever handed me is.....you do not defend your failures by bragging to a journalist about how clever you are concerning why South Korea is beating the socks off USA with testing by asserting that was because of a 'fact' that Seoul has a population of 38 milllion. If that was not enough for 'you' I am stuffed if I know what will ever be.

    Get rid of the Snake Oil Salesman, please.

    7 Months from Election Night.

    Gonna be interesting.

    Watching the Trump Meltdown will be EPIC.

    Trump is headed to a Catastrophic Loss.

    Anyway, back the OP, I really hope that the House makes Trump answer for this Unconscionable Misfeasance.

    Right now everyone is already starting to look for where to point their fingers. If we slide into a depression and hundreds of thousands die, people will be hunting for someone to blame with ferocity. They will blame China, that is for sure. But then they will find some old tweets by a certain president who claimed that covid wasn't a threat. I hope we don't get to the point where this happens, but if it does, Trump will be trounced by anyone with a heartbeat who runs against him.

    If we slide into a depression, we will be reminded of Dr. Fauci who said that his economically unwise and frankly ignorant plan was "inconvenient". It wasn't merely inconvenient, it was unprecedented on a global scale never before seen. In fact, to me it's not a "if" we slide into depression, but when.

    I do hold Trump to account for allowing them to hijack his government, but I also hold them to account for hijacking it at all. We used to believe November is when we change administrations. But this virus has made a government in name only crisis unthinkable in the country.

    AND.....Fauci did his job as a scientist. He told it as it was. On the other hand, Humpty Trumpty was full-on with his usual garbage. Can you please see that for what it is? Please get over your entrenched loyalty to all things Red. This fat orange puke is the most destructive thing that ever happened to the USA, but...he did a great job selling snake oil. Mirages, dreams, MAGA...all on the National Credit card. I could do that. You could. Anyone can. In excess of a trillion dollar deficit in just one year BEFORE Covid-19. Yeas!

    Thing is...when it came to test his mettle with a real crisis, (as opposed to some impotent numpty rocket man in North Korea) he totally failed. Bullshit does not work with a real nasty like this thing.

    Dunno what you are saying there.

    She has "Briefing Envy" and this will give her an excuse for daily pressers, though with the House in recess and social distancing rules, it's not clear how this would work.

    And while she claims this will be a bipartisan committee, she hasn't discussed it with McCarthy yet.

    President Fauci. Dude is saying we should stay cooped up until no more deaths.

    Are things like that possible or safe without a vaccine or a treatment in place?

    DR. FAUCI: Yeah, I think if we get to the part of the curve that Dr. Birx showed yesterday when it goes down to essentially no new cases, no deaths at a period of time, I think it makes sense that you're going to have to relax social distancing.

    This weekend the Cofefe-19 virus' US death toll will surpass the H1N1 total for it's first year.
    By the end of next week it will be 5 times the total.
    By the end of the following week it will be three months and 10 times the full year total for H1N1.

    That should put an end to any comparisons.
