"Dazed and Confused."

Image result for Trump

The following article is from Aaron Rupar writing for Vox.

"One moment during President Donald Trump’s Fox News appearance on Tuesday served as the starkest example yet of how much he does not understand the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic: He urged Americans to flock to churches on Easter Sunday, just 19 days away.
Trump told Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer he selected Easter as the day he wants businesses to reopen, saying he’d like to see “packed churches all over our country” — the exact type of large gatherings that the CDC, the WHO, and Trump’s top health advisers have all urged suspended to help stop the spread of the virus.

I would love to have it opened by Easter,” Trump said, speaking about when he sees the country returning to normal life.“That would be a great American resurrection,” Hemmer replied.

Since Sunday, Trump has repeatedly indicated he plans to recommend that the White House’s social-distancing guidelines be relaxed and Americans return to work, even though experts say the country hasn’t yet experienced the worst of the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump’s televised briefings, tweets, and appearances on Fox in recent days raise serious doubts about whether the president understands the threat of the coronavirus or how to best slow it down. As he spreads messages at odds with public health experts, he’s putting real lives at risk.

During Tuesday’s Fox News town hall — which took place a day after the US recorded its highest single-day death toll amid the coronavirus crisis so far — Trump rested his case for relaxing social distancing by comparing possible exposure to the coronavirus with unfortunate things that we just take to be facts of life, like the flu or car wrecks.

Here’s what Trump had to say in response to Hemmer’s question about why resuming something approximating normal American social and business life as soon as possible is a good idea (the video follows):
Look, we lose thousands — I brought some numbers here — we lose thousands and thousands of people a year to the flu. We don’t turn the country off. Now, when I heard the number — you know, we average 37,000 people a year — can you believe that? And actually this year we’re having a bad flu system. But we lose thousands of people a year to the flu. We never turn the country off. We lose much more than that to automobile accidents. We didn’t call up the automobile companies and say, ‘Stop making cars. We don’t want any cars anymore.’ We have to get back to work.
 Already facing a difficult reelection campaign before the outbreak of a deadly pandemic his government was unprepared to deal with, it’s understandable that Trump wants to stabilize an economy decimated by the social-distancing measures meant to stop the spread. But his comments ignore two big ways in which the coronavirus can’t be compared to the flu or car crashes: It’s far more contagious than either, and far more deadly.

One reason the coronavirus is so concerning is how contagious it is. Without social distancing, experts believe one infected person could infect up to 2.5 other individuals.
Because the coronavirus is so contagious, it could easily overwhelm America’s public health system, leaving hospitals too full to properly treat patients and equipment in short supply. That’s already on the cusp of happening in New York state, where Gov. Andrew Cuomo pleaded with the federal government earlier Tuesday to provide more medical gear, including much-needed ventilators to help patients with severe Covid-19 cases breathe.

Car crashes, of course, are not contagious, nor are there so many of them that they overrun hospitals or threaten the nation’s supply of medical masks and ventilators. That’s also the case with the flu. According to epidemiologists, an individual with the flu is at risk for spreading it to up to 1.3 people — about equal to coronavirus’s contagion level with strong social distancing.
Despite this, Trump insisted the flu is more dangerous and singled out Cuomo for criticism. The president blamed the governor for a problem he’s powerless to solve, saying, “He’s supposed to be buying his own ventilators.” (Cuomo and other governors argue it’s suboptimal for states to bid up prices by competing against each other for supplies, and that those purchases are best made by the federal government.)

At another point, Trump attacked Cuomo for not doing more on his own to prevent travel from China as the virus spread there. Experts, of course, argue that at best, travel bans like the one Trump instituted at a national level buy time for governments to act — time Trump failed to use. At worst, they’re useless.

The whole point of the “15 days to stop the spread” campaign that Trump embraced just nine days ago is that strict social distancing is necessary to “flatten the curve” of cases and make sure hospitals aren’t overwhelmed. But Trump encouraging people to go back to work runs the risk of allowing the virus to spread out of control at a time when places like New York are already struggling to contain it.
Trump, however, clearly views the situation primarily as an economic crisis (and thus, for him, a political one) instead of one in which preventable deaths can be avoided." [Read more]

Ans that's it in a nutshell: The thing that bothers trump about this crisis is not how many lives will be lost, it's how much money Wall Street will lose, and thus, how his chances of getting reelected will be affected. 

With Mr. trump, it is always about HIM. If you don't believe me just watch his meandering vacuous, and propaganda filled Dear Leader press briefings from day to day. They have gotten so out of hand that major networks routinely cut away from them when trump starts with his lies and pointless bloviating. 

There is a  recently released video that was put out by Priorities USA. trump's campaign team has sent a Cease and Desist letter to television stations airing the video. Don't worry, the letter is not worth the paper it's written on. 

You can watch the video here.

Speaking of which, the Pig People are losing their shit over all of the "pork" in the stimulus bill, once again demonstrating that they don't understand the meaning of economic stimulus, or much of anything else, really.

Florida is in really bad shape right now, as symptom tracking apps have shown them to be harboring huge numbers of fevers, even when controlled for seasonal colds and flu. Meanwhile, the wingnut governor there refuses to implement statewide social distancing rules and several pastors there have continued to hold services for their congregations all together at once.

With their large population of retirees, this seems gratuitously hazardous to the health and well being of the state, but at least so far DeSantis hasn't prohibited local governments from taking their own measures to protect their citizens like Reeves has in Mississippi.

Good. These drugs aren’t approved for treating COVID-19 patients. Some trials are underway to test whether they might work, but until they have been proven effective against COVID-19, they shouldn’t be prescribed for that purpose.

Currently, assholes are trying to buy up all the drugs, thus making them unavailable for the patients who need them for conditions for which they ARE approved, like lupus.

Trump is not a doctor. Nobody should be taking medical advice from him. This is why media outlets are going to have to edit his fucking press conferences to contain the lies and misinformation.

This would be a good lesson for wingnuts who think social distancing is bad policy, if wingnuts were capable of intelligent thoughts.

Nearly three dozen people who attended a recent children's event at a church in Arkansas have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to church officials.

Donald Shipp, a deacon at First Assembly of God church in Greers Ferry, about 75 miles north of Little Rock, told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that 34 people who attended the event in early March at the Cleburne County church had tested positive for the coronavirus, and that an unknown number of others were awaiting test results.

Danyelle McNeill, a spokeswoman for the Arkansas Department of Health, said a number of coronavirus cases have been associated with a church in Cleburne County, which she did not identify.

No, it isn't. Even in the face of a pandemic of infectious disease that can kill people, it isn't okay to totally abandon rigorous scientific methods used to approve drugs.

Otherwise, you end up wasting resources on drugs that don't work and may actually be dangerous and result in even more people dead.

Not to mention that even if these drugs hypothetically were proven to work, you couldn't just allow anyone to prescribe them. They would then be rationed as part of the disaster response and only available to the worst-off COVID patients in hospitals, as well as lupus patients and others who definitely do need these drugs.

Right now, you've got "cowboy" general practitioners prescribing the drugs to themselves and people they know, who aren't even sick with COVID-19, on the basis that they MIGHT get sick and the drugs MIGHT work.

This is the same disgusting hoarding behavior that has resulted in supermarket shelves emptied of toilet paper for no reason. All because Trump decided to irresponsibly shoot his mouth off in a press conference.

What the media instead are realizing is that they have lost control over the filtering that they are used to providing. They seek to spin the news rather than simply show it and report it. And they justify their bias as being part of a higher calling in the journalism profession as opposed to a glaring failure.

The media that was able to push impeachment while the coronavirus spread throughout the world, that claimed concerns about it were racist, and that attempts to control its spread were xenophobic, now wants even more control over the message. Their plan to keep Americans in the dark about what the country’s top political and medical officials say unless it is filtered through a group of people who botched the 2016 campaign, the Russia collusion narrative, and the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing is a demonstration of something very dangerous.

They don't want to report the news. They want to control it. That is damaging and destructive to their own already hurting reputations but, more importantly, to public health itself.

The states that refused to expand Medicaid under the ACA have seen many of their rural hospitals shut down.

Twenty rural hospitals in Texas have closed since 2010, the most of any state. Tennessee has seen the second-most closures, with 13 rural hospitals shutting down in the past decade. In third place is Oklahoma with eight closures.

A whole bunch of MAGApeople in those states are gonna be wondering why they and grandma have to drive to the city to get to an ER, and why the ERs they do get to are so completely overrun as to be useless to them.

Being MAGApeople, they will probably blame it on the cities they had to drive to instead of the damage their Republican state governments did to the places they live.

WTF is wrong with people? This ignorant broad coughing on food


FTA: "The manager informed me that a woman, who the police know to be a chronic problem in the community, came in to the store...."

Salient details:

1.  "Chronic problem".
2.  NOT barred from the store, though.
3.  No picture or description.

In other words, the perp is black.  Barring her from stores and such or even describing her would be "racist".

From livescience...

Yesterday (March 19), President Donald Trump boasted about the "very encouraging results" of two drugs called chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as treatments for the novel coronavirus, claiming that the medications have "gone through the approval process" and that "we’re going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately."

But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) swiftly issued a statement to clarify that, no, these drugs are not approved as treatments for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Both drugs are approved to treat malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, but must still be assessed in clinical trials before being declared a safe and effective COVID-19 treatment. Doctors in the U.S. have wide latitude to prescribe drugs "off-label," meaning for conditions beyond their initial FDA approval.

It is, allegedly, the .leader of the US who is allegedly in charge of responses to natural disasters, such as pandemics, although drumpfuck dumpster fire is a natural disaster and hould have been removed from office had the wingnut cabal in the sinate done their constitutional duty.

We’re absolutely not a leader in COVID-19 testing. Just the opposite — we’re trailing most of the other industrialized nations in testing.

Here’s where we were a week ago.

The US had conducted a third as many tests as South Korea, despite our being a country 6.5 times the size of South Korea.

Testing is one of the multiple areas in which Trump has failed miserably. He had almost two months to prepare a domestic epidemic response after China reported their escalating infections, but he did next to nothing. He just shut down flights from China and said he would keep the virus out, and when that didn’t work, we were caught with our pants down. Now we have to race to catch up.

And still, the true impact of the disease doesn’t seem to gave gotten through Trump’s thick skull. His press conferences are delusional, hallucinogenic affairs.

Back to normal by Easter, my ass.

Us has tested more people in 8 days than S Korea did in 8 weeks, barely, and Korea has less than 6 million people.”


Mike, thus is the key passage from that article, referring to data from two days ago:

“South Korea has tested 0.7% of its population, or about 1 test for every 149 residents over that eight-week period. The United States has tested about 0.1% of its population, or 1 test for about every 1,038 residents over the eight-day period.”

So, Trump was lying again. No, the US is not the leader in COVID-19 testing. Far from it. We are still way behind the curve. We will have to test 7 times as many people as have currently been tested just in order to “catch up” with S. Korea. And even that won’t be adequate because our infection rate is now so much worse than theirs. We are talking about millions of tests needed now.

It may be weeks before we can get to where we need to be, which is a giant missed opportunity to prevent deaths.

From the Miami Herald:

TALLAHASSEE

A federal judge delivered an ultimatum Thursday to attorneys representing Gov. Ron DeSantis and his administration in a lawsuit challenging a 2019 law that implemented a constitutional amendment restoring voting rights to felons who have completed their sentences.

U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle warned the state’s attorneys to come up with a process to determine whether felons have paid “legal financial obligations” as required by the law and whether those felons have the ability to pay the court-ordered fees and fines. He said that work needs to be done before an April 27 trial in the case — or else.

“If the state is not going to fix it, I will,” Hinkle snapped during a telephone hearing Thursday afternoon.

John Kennedy Claussen, Sr.,2020-03-27 at 14:12
What about the Laffer curve, could that help us right now? Or, has it been flattened by the virus? There is great irony in how even our conservative Republican friends have come to embrace Keynesian economics right now; which only further proves that these conservative Republican friends of ours only really embrace supply-side economics for pure self interest and not for the interest of the whole, but when that dream world for them is in danger, then they run home to Mama and the Democratic Party and pay homage all a sudden to Keynes and Galbraith.

This panic reaction by our conservative Republican friends proves the limits of capitalism and its vulnerabilities to a dependency upon planned obsolescence and the finding of new markets. But when a virus shows up that destroys a market’s ability to replenish and or expand, then socialism, brief or not, becomes the only solvency for a capitalistic market that had become dependent upon a growing predatory element up until the crisis, which ironically, only the virus itself could match.

Marx indicted capitalism because wealth was generated based on the development of capital and less on the development of tangible products which could further strengthen and/or sustain an economy. This current collapse of the greater consumerism of our economy and the need for stuff speaks to a further weakness of capitalism; and that is when it produces products that are of little value except to the predatory marketer, who sells and profits from them.

Wuz Tara Reade a Putin plant? From Vox.....

Mainstream media initially did not cover Reade’s assault allegation
Part of the reason Reade sought legal help, she told Vox, was that she faced harassment when she initially came forward last year. She also faced scrutiny into her background. In particular, critics pointed to that now-deleted 2018 Medium post in which Reade called Putin “a compassionate, caring, visionary leader” and said, “To President Putin, I say keep your eyes to the beautiful future and maybe, just maybe America will come to see Russia as I do, with eyes of love.”

In the same post, she wrote that she left government work in her 20s in part because “I love Russia with all my heart” and “I could not stand to watch the deception and xenophobia that came from my own American government.”

Reade told Vox that when she wrote the praise of Putin, she had “watched a bunch of Noam Chomsky” and was working on a novel set in Russia. She says she no longer feels the same way about Putin since learning more about domestic violence in Russia.


Read wrote her love letter to Putin in Medium and that post has since been deleted.

That was quick..... Fasme is as fleeting as drumpfuck's attention span.

Trump's approval rating on handling the coronavirus dropped 6 percentage points in a three-day span in the poll.

In the Mar. 26-27 survey, 50 percent of registered voters said they approved of the president's handling of COVID-19, compared to 56 percent saying the same in a Mar. 22-23 survey.



The drop appears to be driven by a decrease in support from Republican and independent voters.

The poll found a 10 percentage point drop among Republicans, from 86 percent support in the Mar. 22-23 survey, to 76 percent support in the most recent survey.

Support among independents slipped 7 percentage points, from 55 percent to 48 percent.

What does the Bible say about Plagues and Pandemics?

The term "plague" is found roughly 100 times in the Bible, primarily in the Old Testament. The most commonly known biblical plagues occurred in Egypt during the time of Moses. Scripture reveals that God sent plagues as a consequence of disobedience and idolatry. Exodus 32:35 gives an example of this, saying "So the Lord plagued the people because of what they did with the calf which Aaron made." Learn more about the 10 Plagues of Egypt Bible Story when God freed his people from slavery. And learn reasons why Why God Sends Plagues.

Plagues are also mentioned in Revelation of the New Testament when describing the end of days on Earth. Many are wondering today if the Coronavirus pandemic is a plague that is mentioned by the prophet John in Revelation. Food shortages, fear, viruses, and economic collapse all seem to be hints of foreshadowing of the End Times. To learn more, read: Is Coronavirus a Plague from End Times in Revelations?

Revelation 15-16

Seven Angels With Seven Plagues
15 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. 2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name. They held harps given them by God 3 and sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb:

“Great and marvelous are your deeds,
Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
King of the nations.[a]
4 Who will not fear you, Lord,
and bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy...

5 After this I looked, and I saw in heaven the temple—that is, the tabernacle of the covenant law—and it was opened. 6 Out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen and wore golden sashes around their chests. 7 Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever. 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath
16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”

2 The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.

4 The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. 5 Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:

“You are just in these judgments, O Holy One,
you who are and who were;
6 for they have shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets,
and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve.”
7 And I heard the altar respond:


... true and just are your judgments.”
8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. 9 They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.

10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in agony 11 and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.

12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. 13 Then I saw three impure spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 They are demonic spirits that perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.

15 “Look, I come like a thief! ...
16 Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, “It is done!”

18 Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. 19 The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. 20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. 21 From the sky huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds,[c] fell on people. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

QUESTION ON THE STREET:

"WHY WON'T SOME OF THESE SCARED "PUNK"ified LEADERS STOP WORRYING ABOUT CIVIL LIBERTIES AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS JUST DECLARE A MANDATE TO CLOSE DOWN THEIR CITIES AND STATES TO FORCE PEOPLE TO QUARENTINE BEFORE THE WHOLE COUNTRY IMPLODES?"

I get young people's brains tell them that they are invincible...but what about the grown folks running these cities and states? Kudos to the mayors and governors that understand and are taking the right steps. But What the F*&! is wrong with everybody else brains?

Those leaders should. have closed the Florida beaches down BEFORE the young folks arrived.
The leaders that run New Orleans should have closed the bars down BEFORE Mardi Gras.

What the hell good is locking the barn after the cow is gone.
Where are the "collective" brains of some of our leadership?????????

Trump has now invoked the Defense Production Act to require General Motors to produce ventilators. This seems entirely reasonable given the circumstances. Great job, Mr. President!

But Trump won't invoke the Defense Production Act against any of the companies that have bribed him not to. He's getting a lot of money from them. That's why he hasn't applied the act to all companies/corporations.

If drumpfuck hadn't wasted intel and proclaimed this pandemic a hoax, he could have shut down Mardi Gras.Rather he chose to declare his sooper intelligence made him know more than all the experts on pandemics. He should be removed from office and extraordinarily rendered and then sell the whale blubber as really crude oil.

As per usual, anymoose got most of HIZ facts wrong about medical supplies.



https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/489125-trump-signs-executive-order-to-prevent-price-gouging-of-medical

This applies to people trying to sell items for excess profits after those items have been designated as critical, which masks and ventilators have not yet been deemed.

mike from iowa said...

From above link....

Attorney General William Barr detailed the executive order at a White House briefing Monday evening, saying it would prohibit people from accumulating critical supplies amid the coronavirus outbreak in an effort to profit off of them.

Barr said the Department of Justice (DOJ) had seen potential evidence of hoarding and price gouging amid the pandemic.


Trump is authorized under the Defense Production Act to prohibit hoarding of needed resources by designating them as scarce or threatened by people accumulating excessive amounts, Barr said.

The executive order signed by Trump on Monday gives Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar the authority to designate certain supplies as critical, meaning those found to be hoarding or price gouging such equipment could face criminal action, Barr said.

“Once specific materials are so designated, persons are prohibited from accumulating those items in excess of reasonable personal or business needs or for the purpose of selling them in excess of prevailing market prices,” Barr said.

“It is a crime to engage in prohibited activity,” the attorney general continued.

Be safe everyone! Stay clean, as sterile as possible and healthy. I'm praying this disease will time itself out or weaken in some kind of way, and then return back to the depths of hel from whence it came, eradicated forever from humanity. I'm also praying for an end to germ warfare, and the development of these types of things. Governments should ask themselves what can they rule over, have power over, if they indeed will expire also. Let this be a lesson...

What the hell does impeachment have to do with Trump doing his damn jog? Totally different issue; can't Trump walk and chew gum at the same time? He didn't even have to testify. He had plenty of time to appoint a task force and assign them to prepare for a pandemic. Stop making excuses for Trump's failure to do his job. Tell him stop playing golf while Rome burns.

“What would you think if, when your governor asked the federal government for the disaster assistance that Congress has provided, the President responded, ‘I would like you to do us a favor.’ I’ll send the disaster relief once you brand my opponent a criminal.”

— Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan, testifying before the House impeachment inquiry on December 4, 2019.

I appreciate your kind words and sentiment. I hope your prayers are answered. In case you haven't heard, the COV19 virus was not man made. It came from a bat that was improperly killed and mishandled. But there are many man made pathogens in existence, but COV19 isn't one of them. Stay safe and be careful.
