This Incompetent Administration's Response to Coronavirus

[RickeyM]

At this moment as I type this, playing over the PA system at tRump's Iowa super spreader event is the Phil Collins song "In The Air Tonight".
These people are fucking insane. tRump does not care how many Americans die as long as he gets reelected.

The Great Barrington Declaration is a sham and a travesty of a sham (as Woody Allen might say).

From The Hill:

The declaration has been signed by 445,902 concerned citizens, 9,510 medical and public health scientists and 25,049 medical practitioners, according to its website. But Sky News found last week that dozens of fake names had signed the document, including Dr. I.P. Freely, Dr. Person Fakename and Dr. Johnny Bananas.

The article goes on to suggest the medical community's actual support for the declaration may be overstated....

Where we’re at in pandemic: President’s top coronavirus adviser spreads misinformation about mask science, promoting Twitter to remove his tweet for violation

Quote Tweet

Monica Alba @albamonica

This tweet from Dr. Atlas, the medical adviser closest to the president right now, has been flagged by Twitter for violating its policies about misleading info. Atlas, a neuroradiologist who doesn’t specialize in infectious diseases or epidemiology, is often seen without a mask.

Rural Midwest hospitals struggling to handle virus surge

https://apnews.com/article/virus-out...c4c20fae6bc204

“All of a sudden it hit, and as it does, it just exploded,” said Dr. Tom Dean, one of just three doctors who work in the county.

As the brunt of the virus has blown into the Upper Midwest and northern Plains, the severity of outbreaks in rural communities has come into focus. Doctors and health officials in small towns worry that infections may overwhelm communities with limited medical resources. And many say they are still running up against attitudes on wearing masks that have hardened along political lines and a false notion that rural areas are immune to widespread infections.

Dumbass Trumpkins. Well, at least many of them will be too damn sick to vote...

Those who think they're smart for thinking tRump is smart. The virus will ravage them worse than it did NY. When the dead start stacking up like cordwood maybe they begin to realize that they were wrong to follow tRump.

There may be a *better* metaphor for how obviously empty the President's promises on health care have been than a book carefully bound with 2500 sheets of blank paper in it (the evidence of which he tweeted out himself)—but I'm really hard-pressed to think of what it could be...
