Wikipedia.<br /><br />But under Trump there is no science leadership at the highest government levels. Fauci has been pushed aside, but at least he is getting some messages out on rational news sites about what to expect if we continue reopening. However, not on FOX, where it really needs to be seen. I watched a Florida Trump supporter shouting at an MSNBC reporter to take his mask off; that the virus was not real. So, I'm not sure messages to wear a mask or use any other safety practices shown on FOX would help anyway. Trump has deliberately muzzled CDC scientists, WH staff, demanded lockstep republican loyalty to his cause, and chosen to make Covid political with lies and useless proclamations. This is the weaponization that keeps his base in line and happy to sacrifice their lives on his reelection alter. His stupidity knows no limits.<br /><br />Trump is deliberately, after a completely, thoroughly, and inexcusably botched set of televised death panels (AKA President's Coronavirus Response Team), willing to kill his followers in a fireworks display and political rally at Mt. Rushmore. And they are gladly gleefully going to participate shoulder to shoulder without wearing masks. Not to mention the area is under drought conditions, so igniting the pine forest around them is of no consequence either. His insanity knows no limits.<br /><br />In couple of weeks or less, we'll know the infection results of all the rallys and some states staying open because those healthcare systems are going to be utterly overwhelmed again. Yeah, so much winning.<br /><br />JustMusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04512264615151227445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-14658676748339327562020-06-30T17:22:55.674-04:002020-06-30T17:22:55.674-04:00Well, he got one thing right: I'm sick and god...Well, he got one thing right: I'm sick and goddamn tired of all this winning.Deadstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484321108126882385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-7076920094187879032020-06-30T16:36:30.277-04:002020-06-30T16:36:30.277-04:00Any politician worth their salt would have capital... Any politician worth their salt would have capitalized on this one time opportunity to use a common enemy to unite a badly fractured nation. People have been speculating that it would take an alien invasion to get the different factions to band together in this political environment. <br /> Well, you got your alien invasion. So what did you do with it?<br /> Well, the countermeasures that were imposed have resulted in millions of unemployed people, thousands of businesses that won't survive, and trillions of dollars in wealth evaporated, as well as trillions of dollars of debt incurred in propping up the economy while it's in a medically induced coma, among other things too numerous to list, all in the service of keeping hundreds of thousands more citizens from dying from a disease we won't have a pharmaceutical response to until next year at the outside.<br /> I'd call that a massive investment, and whether or not it was massive enough, or properly targeted is up for debate. <br /> What is not up for debate is the fact that Fergus and Republican governors have squandered it, leaving us pretty much where we were before any of the countermeasures were taken.<br /> There is no effective therapy or prophylaxis for this disease besides distancing, hand washing, and face coverings, and there remain +/- 300 million uninfected citizens, so what were they expecting to happen?<br /> I'm not a scientist, or even particularly smart about science, but Christ on a pogo stick, they taught us this stuff in ninth grade biology.<br /> I retain, perhaps naively, an expectation that the highest levels of the federal government are capable of operating at a level at or above Mr. Wilcox's science classroom in 1975.<br /><br /> -Doug in Sugar Pine dinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-79888603104691632202020-06-30T14:44:25.025-04:002020-06-30T14:44:25.025-04:00But, but, but...Hillary’s emails, Benghazi, Deep S...But, but, but...Hillary’s emails, Benghazi, Deep State, Fake News....<br /><br />There is a pretty convincing argument to be made that Donnie’s response shows cognitive decline.CenterPuke88https://www.blogger.com/profile/17770056621255249861noreply@blogger.com
