That was too easy Beav . You should have added a few more names like Dr Phil and Oz and Oprah. Judge Judy would be a good candidate too.
Jal, passing the buck means passing on responsibility but by not passing on the bucks (money) you are making the task near impossible. It wasn`t a compliment from Cuomo to Trump.
There is another expression made famous by a prior US President.....The buck stops here. Something not in Trump`s vocabulary.

The US now has about 33% of the world's Coronavirus cases, despite having barely 4% of the world's population. In particular, even socialist Canada, with our vastly inferior medical system, is doing much better proportionately. WHO's fault is it? Bill Gates, Chinese germ warfare, Chinese eating bats, Barak Obama, the media, the Impeachment, Democratic state governors, General Motors, thieving medical workers.....

It's not Donald's fault. The buck stops anywhere else. He takes, in his own words, "No responsibility".

The number of cases is proportional to the population and the density of testing (say # of testing per 1 million). Factor this in and the US is better than many European countries.

Errr, not Deutschland. Not even close

OK. Let’s compare Quebec and the US

US- number of cases is 675000 per 328 M of population, i.e. 2057/M
Quebec- 16798 cases per 8.5 M. i.e. 1976/m
Deaths rate: US, 105.3/M, Quebec 81/M
Where is the MUCH BETTER difference?

Harry Truman. Cuomo's statement "you can't pass the buck without passing the bucks" is rooted in Truman's famous statement, and in that respect, it was a dig at Trump.

I thought I would get one of the Canadian posters to bite on Scheer or Legault.

10 Nurses Suspended For Refusing To Work Without N95 Masks

Look at the photo in this article of 8 nurses, 7 with fists raised. What's up with the one who did not raise her fist? Did she manage to avoid suspension?

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/17/us/california-coronavirus-nurses-suspended-trnd/index.html

 

[cloudsurf]

I agree with the nurses. Every health care professional and first responder should have access to an N-95 face mask and an eye shield when they are dealing with a covid19 patient . That is minimal protection for themselves and their family in a highly dangerous and underpaid environment. Its a bloody miracle that more nurses aren`t protesting and aren`t quitting.

No true. Yes Canada's health system is inferior to many developed countries. But of which the American health system is last.

As of now per million USA has tested 10,815. Italy 20,577. Germany 20,629. Switzerland 25,004. Canada 13,452. Iceland 115,859!

OK. Let’s compare Quebec and the US........

Your argument belongs in a text of how to lie with Statistics. I compared the US with Canada, not the US with Quebec. Would you like me to compare Canada with NY state?

USA: Total Cases: 710K; Cases per IM: 2146; Deaths per 1M: 112

Canada: Total Cases: 32K; Cases per IM: 846; Deaths per 1M: 35

Roughly, Canada is doing 3X better.
I'm amazed that Trump defenders don't injure themselves with the contortions they perform to defend their circus clown.

I was being sarcastic.

I bet that at the end of this the mortality rate will be almost uniform in Western countries. This is like judging a hockey match among equal teams by the first 10 minutes.

"[FONT=&amp]Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada and the United States have struck a deal to extend current border restrictions between the two countries by an additional 30 days.

[/FONT][FONT=&amp]"This is an important decision and one that will keep people on both sides of the border safe," Trudeau said at the top of his daily COVID-19 briefing Saturday [18/4/2020]."

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-saturday-covid-19-update-1.5537251

The other main question is when will the airlines resume operations in any meaningful way. And when will consumers regain sufficient confidence to get on commercial flights again.

Yes, well done Mr. Trudeau. In short everything will remain as before.

Not easy to negotiate with Trump, because he wanted to reopen its borders with Canada. Finally Mr. Trudeau and his government are very good diplomats.

I'd love to see a movement where Canada could be a country-wide Wall along the US border. With beautiful doors to allow essential traffic to go through. With testing stations at each door. And better yet: America would pay for it!

I fear that more & more states will succumb to Trump's pressure & will re-open within the next few weeks. Things will only get worse & more people will unecessarily die. If people think it's a catastrophe now it'll only be worse in a few months! Testing in the US currently is a joke & unless country-wide testing is the norm there's no fucking way any consideration to open the border should happen!

Even Ontario Premier Doug Ford whom i never really liked much in the past said the other day that he doesn't want any Americans entering Ontario & wants them to stay in their country. This problem is very far from being over & it'll take a lot more sacrifice & patience for things to get back to being semi-normal again!

Even Ontario Premier Doug Ford whom i never really liked much in the past said the other day that he doesn't want any Americans entering Ontario & wants them to stay in their country.

I too agree with that sentiment.

For the foreseeable future, Canada is likely to maintain a two-weeks (3 weeks might be more preferable) self-isolation requirement on anyone entering or returning from abroad.

 

[cloudsurf]

There is no way that the border will reopen in 30 days if any provinces object, even if it is under federal jurisdiction.

The hot spots other than Florida are logic friendly, ie ny/Cuomo, NJ/Murphy, CT/Lamont, Cali/Newsom, Michigan/their hot governor. Even states like Ohio and florida r skeptical of trumps rhetoric. It’s Florida’s desantis who scares me. Reminds of a frat pledge desperately trying to impress the senior frat bros during rush week.

I do agree with DJT halting funds to WHO. Although why all the rhetoric against the Mexicans and Mexico? Why not halt the funding like he did and get CHYYYYYNAHHH to pay? He’s keeping quiet about that. A lot of that $$ came from bush jr. he did a lot for aids research in conjunction with WHO
