Coronavirus

[cloudsurf]

Self quarantine and social distancing along with wearing a mask when doing essential tasks is working. Look at New Zealand and its iron fisted leader. She has not only flattened the curve but has pounded it into the dust.....one week into her 4 week shut down . It works if you give it time, at least a month, and strictly enforce the rules.
If you can believe China then they hadn`t had a death from covid19 yesterday and parts of the country are almost back to normal.

Cloudsurf,

China has a powerful authoritarian government which makes people do things and shoots them in the head publicly when things are not done correctly. Remember the what happened to the head of the Chinese food and drug Czar after the milk formula issue? Bullet in the back of the head.

In the US and Canada we have weaker democratic governments that spoil citizens with freedoms others do not have. Our governments are not as aggressive in taking away those freedoms. We even see in this thread whiny posts from those who are suffering with the half assed measures that were actually taken. A total lockdown for 1-2 months may have been better, but because we half-assed it, we will not be as quick to recover as the Chinese. Virus pandemics reward authoritarian governments and punish democratic governments that are gunshy about harshly curtailing freedoms.

Yet another flip-flop from Trump on importing masks (another time among many).

Donald Trump is a very good dancer: a step forward, a step back.

 

[EagerBeaver]

I have come to believe that flip-flopping is essential for most politicians. Apart from the fact that one must adapt to the ways in which the winds blow, the information they are collecting or being told changes from day to day. It's not so much that a politician has to flip flop, so much as how he or she executes the flip flop. It is as crucial maneuver in politics as the cross check is in hockey. You just need to be able to get away with it and pull it off. Some politicians are better than others, just like some hockey players cross check the shit out of opponents and don't get called on it.

I don`t know how the stock market predicts the future of the economy usually by 3 to 6 months. Its been on an upward tear in recent days....if it continues upward or just stays even for the next few weeks ...that would be an optimistic signal for the economy rebounding by summer.

 

[EagerBeaver]

There will be a rebound that will be big time. Once we are through this we are going to be crazy busy and productive in my business and many others.

For all those people here saying things lik e"It's not Trump's fault" and "how could he have known better!" or are just weird Trump sock puppets like OnJustaLark...

Read this. It should explain everything in terms of why Trump has done so badly. These are facts laid bare.

Once this is all over, do you think there will be an overload of single moms, students and other ladies offering services to make extra cash? I get the feeling there will be lots of independent ads popping up everywhere, what do you think?

TheSavoySuit you need to know Trumpetist do not read the Atlantic.

But that said even Breitbart is reporting of the missed opportunity... https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...-late-january-warned-of-coronavirus-pandemic/

 

[cloudsurf]

I agree with Trump on one issue. The WHO really fucked things up. They were weeks late in calling it a pandemic and downplayed the danger of travel....were they really thinking that this virus could be controlled by a thermometer.

North America should have closed and sealed all borders when a young woman arrived in New York from Iran carrying the virus. She was told to go into 2 week isolation but no one followed up on her or the passengers on her plane..That was sometime in early February I believe.

New York Announces Highest Single Day Death Toll

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52205118

There is mounting pressure to release prisoners who are susceptible to the virus. Connecticut has released 700 prisoners the past few days, mostly over 50 years old and deemed to be in the highest risk group of potential virus victims.

She was appointed by Obama in 2014.

 

[Full Pizdetz]

So if one of the people here is put in charge

C'est une très mauvaise blague.

 

[jalimon]

She was appointed by Obama in 2014.

In a different role. From HHS site:

"In January 2020, Christi Grimm became the Principal Deputy Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Inspector General (OIG)"

Anyhow the point is Trump will prefer to destroy her and her survey findings because they make him look bad.

Yes, she was promoted in 2020. She was never appointed or chosen by president Trump. But yes, she will be fired by president Trump.

I try to get my news these days from a few different sources. Your initial post was clearly meant as a negative regarding the president and how he will fire someone that he appointed. I pointed out that he didn’t appoint her and you sent a quote from the HHS. You have since updated your post (as Am I) to claim your original point was that the president would destroy her because she made him look bad. That’s fare, but not what you initially posted. If anything, she didn’t follow the chain of command, made a negative comment about a standing president and she’ll get what she has coming to her. You don’t shit all over the boss if you aren’t prepared to lose your job. The CNN article you posted was written wasn’t really the entire truth. Nor was your spin afterwards. I get it, you don’t like the president. But you should at least try to understand the facts beforehand.

His press secretary bolted again, lol, she goin back to work with Melania. The new press secretary is a nut

 

[EagerBeaver]

The new press secretary is a nut

A qualified nut/woman. Since you may not grasp the academia milieu in the US, being a graduate of both Georgetown and Harvard Law qualifies you as an academic stud. My own sister is a Georgetown grad and arguably, within my family, more of an academic stud than I am (she also graduated #1 in her class in grad school), although some family members might argue otherwise.

Apart from that McEnany resemble the kinds of blondes Trump wanted to and did fuck in the past.

Will this improve the combativeness of his Coronavirus press conferences? Probably not.

Just LOVE the constant sarcasm about OUR President, yet he is working tirelessly with various teams and STILL gets this level of abuse ... TDS is far worse for one's health than this chinese virus ... especially since they will have 4 more years to suffer, yet this virus should end LONG before that.

OJAL. I don’t know if you are sarcastic or not. But this best describes Trump

President Trump: "I think mail-in voting is horrible, it's corrupt."

Reporter: "You voted by mail in Florida's election last month, didn't you?"

Trump: "Sure. I can vote by mail"

Reporter: "How do you reconcile with that?"

Trump: "Because I'm allowed to."
