This Incompetent Administration's Response to Coronavirus

[RickeyM]

Personally knowing how dangerous Covid is and being in the elderly/obese/high cholesterol group he says are the only ones getting affected fat boy must be sweating buckets.
So Rumpy, continuingly bashing Biden for wearing a mask and social distancing, gets dosed with Covid. I thought he was taking hydroxychloroquine for prevention. Guess that doesn't work huh? If he has to be hospitalized and not being able to host his hate rally's it will drive him up the wall.

Oh Donny...

Years of the White House obscuring health information add instability at a tricky moment
If the Hicks test hadn’t leaked, would we even know about Orange Shitstain?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...tricky-moment/

The White House didn’t confirm that President* Trump’s personal valet tested positive for the novel coronavirus until the media broke the story in May. It didn’t confirm that Vice President Pence’s press secretary contracted the virus until the media reported it a few days later. It didn’t confirm that Trump’s national security adviser had it until the press reported it, and it was only after Bloomberg News — which first reported several of these cases — revealed that counselor Hope Hicks had tested positive that the White House acknowledged it.

It appears that the first time the White House was the first to confirm a positive coronavirus test in the administration was Trump’s tweet about his own positive test early Friday morning.

Questions immediately arose about possible succession plans or preparations. Trump's ongoing reelection campaign lost its candidate for some to-be-determined period — and lost any hope of redirecting the race away from the ongoing pandemic.

That instability will only be heightened by the long track record of obscuring or misrepresenting health information related to the president*.

‘It’s Just F*ck-Up After F*ck-up’—Orange Shitstain's COVID Advisers at Their Breaking Point
WHAT A MESS
With the president* infected, the group responsible for combating the virus remains a mess. At the center of the drama is one man: Dr. Scott Atlas.

Trump had told senior officials in recent weeks he doesn’t see Atlas on TV enough and wants him booked on more programs and cable-news shows representing the administration’s policies, said a source with direct knowledge of the president’s wishes. But even Fox "News"—whose airwaves initially drew Trump to Atlas—has grown wary of putting him on some programs, owing to his policy prescriptions that are deemed by many to be out-of-touch with mainstream scientific and public-health opinion.

And within the administration, trust in Atlas is even lower. In the interview with Stanley, Fauci called out Atlas for undermining an assessment by Redfield that 90 percent of Americans are still susceptible to the virus.

“I thought it was extraordinary inappropriate for him [Atlas] in a press conference like that to contradict the director of CDC as opposed to saying ‘you know, it is a complicated issue and I think I’d like to sit down and discuss this with the people from the CDC’,” Fauci said. “And then what has happened, he’s a smart guy, no doubt about it, but he tends to cherry-pick data.”

Redfield has also been quoted speaking critically about Atlas, saying—in comments overheard by NBC last week, that “everything” Atlas “says is false.” Multiple officials working with the task force, meanwhile, have said that Atlas, the president and other advisers have downplayed case numbers and complicated their efforts to inform the public about how local communities can stop the spread of the virus by issuing public health ordinates, such as mask mandates, and by recommending stricter lockdown measures.

On Friday, hours before Trump was flown to Walter Reed, Atlas was quoted as predicting the president would make “a complete and full and rapid recovery.”

There was, he insisted, “zero reason to panic.”

There is plenty of reason to panic. Trumps odds of recovery may be as high as 95%.

"This pandemic is not about individual freedoms...It's about whether we give it to the person who uses a gas pump after us, who comes to the grocery counter after us, or those walking by us in the hardware store."

Wow, I served in the Navy with this guy, for about a year, many years ago. Looks like he turned out to be a decent person; he was always friendly, always with a funny story about growing up in Charlotte. Hadn't thought about him in years, until just now.

Secret COVID-19 documentary ‘Totally Under Control’ lands at the perfect time

https://www.latimes.com/entertainmen...bney?_amp=true

Documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney appeared to capitalize on the ever-changing news cycle Friday by releasing the first trailer for “Totally Under Control,” his latest film, which examines President Donald Trump’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The teaser dropped not long after Trump announced that he and First Lady Melania Trump contracted the novel coronavirus.

The film bills itself as “the definitive account of the Trump administration’s incompetence, corruption and denial in the face of this global pandemic.” It unpacks the White House’s handling of the pandemic and Trump’s efforts to downplay it, starkly contrasting the U.S. response to that of South Korea.

The documentary promises “damning testimony from public health officials and hard investigative reporting” and aims to expose “a system-wide collapse caused by a profound dereliction of Presidential leadership.”

Dying in a Leadership Vacuum
Editors, New England Journal of Medicine

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2029812

Anyone else who recklessly squandered lives and money in this way would be suffering legal consequences. Our leaders have largely claimed immunity for their actions. But this election gives us the power to render judgment. Reasonable people will certainly disagree about the many political positions taken by candidates. But truth is neither liberal nor conservative. When it comes to the response to the largest public health crisis of our time, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent. We should not abet them and enable the deaths of thousands more Americans by allowing them to keep their jobs.

Vote them out, then lock them up!
