Coronavirus: Texas says LIES abortions 'non-essential' amid pandemic.
DUH worried about the economy & re-election, NOT Americans' health
DUHnocchio apparently eager to cause MORE deaths ...
20-3-28 Megalomaniacal DUHnocchio Chooses Disaster as His Re-Election Strategy: It’s a massive bet that political polarization [and RepuGNican-base cognitive-dysfunction] is a more powerful force than the virus’s body count.
Sociopath-in-Chief's "re-election strategy had two potential paths this week. The first path would save millions of jobs, turn Idiot-in-Chief into a populist hero for many and perhaps prevent another depression. The second path would court chaos, playing up the partisan divide, deflecting all blame for the coronavirus pandemic onto the media, China and the Obama White House, and praying that it ends up being enough to obscure his Badministration’s disastrous lack of preparation.
It’s a testament to Crook-in-Chief’s callousness that at this decisive moment, he chose the second path."

[Presumably, DUH's bean-counters know that even belatedly stepping beyond his base instincts and limited-skill-set by implementing correct measures will NOT fool sufficient justifiably-disgusted voters.]
An Arizona man has died and his wife is in a critical condition after both ingested a form of chloroquine in an apparent effort to guard against Covid-19. The drug has been touted by UNpresident LYING-Idiot-in-Chief as a possible treatment for the virus. It is also an additive commonly used to clean fish tanks. Shortly after ingestion, the couple, both in their 60s, fell ill.
[This is tragic, but sensible Americans know NOT to trust anything DUHnocchio claims.]

Delay Olympics until 2021!
Coronavirus: Olympic doubts grow as Canada withdraws athletes:
The 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo have been thrown into further doubt after Canada became the first major country to withdraw. Japan's Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, has admitted for the first time that the games could be postponed. Australia's team has said it is "clear" the games cannot go ahead, and told its athletes to prepare for a 2021 games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is expected to decide the fate of the games in four weeks' time.
The games are currently due to begin on 24 July. [which would be insanity]

Selfish, stupid students - a US specialty?
[language corrected] 20-4-11 Costly toll of Florida's not shutting down Spring Break earlier:
Only later did the effects [of the RepuGNIcan governor's profits-first errors] become apparent."
"Weeks before Florida ordered people to stay at home, the coronavirus was well into its insidious spread in the state, infecting residents and visitors who days earlier had danced at beach parties and reveled in theme parks. Only now, as people have become sick and recovered from — or succumbed to — COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, has the costly toll of keeping Florida open during the spring break season started to become apparent."
...
"The exact number of people who returned from leisure trips to Florida with the coronavirus may never be known. Cases as far away as California and Massachusetts have been linked to the Winter Party Festival, a beachside dance party and fund-raiser for the L.G.B.T.Q. community held March 4-10. Another California man died after going to Orlando for a conference and then to a packed Disney World. Two people went to Disney and later infected relatives in Florida and Georgia."
...
"With little testing available, local officials made decisions blindly. Data that suggested looming trouble, such as rising fever readings from internet-connected thermometers, were ignored.Only later did the effects [of the RepuGNIcan governor's profits-first errors] become apparent."
...
"Florida has confirmed more than 17,500 coronavirus cases and nearly 400 deaths, with the epidemic still expanding in the state.
A video by the data analytics and visualization company Tectonix showed how cellphones that were on one Fort Lauderdale beach at the beginning of March spread across the country — up the Eastern Seaboard and further West — over the next two weeks."
A video by the data analytics and visualization company Tectonix showed how cellphones that were on one Fort Lauderdale beach at the beginning of March spread across the country — up the Eastern Seaboard and further West — over the next two weeks."
Crowds of US university students flocked to Florida for their spring break, defying recommendations from the federal government and Center for Disease Control (CDC) over the coronavirus outbreak. National health officials are advising against gatherings of 10 or more people. Miami bars and restaurants are closing early, and some beaches have been shut to the public to avoid infection.
I’m 26. Coronavirus Sent Me to the Hospital: Millennials: If you can’t stay at home for others, do it for yourselves.
Millennials, if you can’t be good allies, at least stay home to protect yourselves. Our invulnerability to this disease is a myth — one I have experienced firsthand. Countries in Europe and Asia are reporting younger and younger patients. The New York Times reported this week that nearly 40 percent of hospitalized Covid patients in the U.S. are under 54 years old. What’s worse is that when medical professionals have been forced to make choices about who lives and who dies, our generation is often chosen to receive treatment. So not only are we risking our own health, our presence in hospitals diminishes the care other groups may receive.

DUHnocchio & RepuGNicans: predictable FAILURE
20-3-20 Predictable: Insider trading by RepuGNican Senators:
Richard Burr reportedly dumped up to $1.7m (£1.45m) of stocks last month. Kelly Loeffler is reported to have sold holdings worth up to $3m in a series of transactions beginning the same day as a Senate briefing on the virus.
They won't be the only ones.
They. Sold. Their. Stock. They could have made a difference, but they made a profit.
Profiting from a Pandemic?: At least two senators engaged in suspiciously timed stock sales. All stock trades by members of Congress should be barred.
Forget the DUHnocchio Badministration. America Will Save America: The federal government bungled its response to the coronavirus. But leaders around the country give us reason to hope. [And, when States and cities succeed in slowing the US epidemic, LIAR-in-Chief will attempt to take credit.]

...
The first cases in the United States were identified in January, too, and yet we don’t even know how many people have been tested — estimates range from just 54,000 to 139,000 total. While Angela Merkel of Germany was soberly telling her compatriots that up to 70 percent of them could expect to get the virus, setting expectations and summoning solidarity, it took FAUX Lies weeks to realize that the coronavirus was not a Democratic hoax to make people mad at UNpresident IDIOT-in-Chief.
It’s not surprising that people are comparing the United States’ botched response with other countries’ handling of the outbreak and concluding, as a headline in Slate put it, that “America is a sham” — that our economy is fragile, our society shallow and our democracy rotten to the core. This crisis has exposed the deep fissures and failures in our culture and the incompetence of so many of our federal leaders. And a reckoning must be had; we are already seeing calls for an inquiry akin to the 9/11 commission into why we were so unprepared."

Mapping the rapid spread of the USA's COVID-19 ignorance-promoted epidemic ⇒
It’s a MAGA Microbe Meltdown: [Consistent-Idiot-in-Chief] utterly fails to rise to his first real crisis:
In any case, it’s clear what we should be doing now that there must already be thousands of cases all across the United States. We need to slow the disease’s spread by creating “social distance” — banning large gatherings, encouraging those who can to work from home — and quarantining hot spots. This may or may not be enough to prevent tens of millions from getting sick, but even spreading out the pandemic over time would help prevent it from overloading the [USA's expensive and broadly-FAILING] health care system, greatly reducing the number of deaths. [Particularly in poor and red rural areas.]"

It’s a MAGA Microbe Meltdown: [Consistent-Idiot-in-Chief] utterly fails to rise to his first real crisis:
The moron's "response has been worse than even his harshest critics could have imagined. DUH has treated a dire threat as a public relations problem, combining denial with frantic blame-shifting.
His [only-the-WORST-people] Badministration has failed to deliver the most basic prerequisite of pandemic response, widespread testing to track the disease’s spread. Dunning-Kruger-dimwit-in-Chief has failed to implement recommendations of public health experts, instead imposing pointless travel bans on foreigners when all indications are that the disease is already well established in the United States. [Horse. Barn. Out]
And DUH's inane response to the economic fallout has veered between complacency and hysteria, with a strong admixture of cronyism.
It’s something of a mystery why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, normally a highly competent agency, have utterly failed to provide resources for widespread coronavirus testing during the pandemic’s crucial early stages. But it’s hard to avoid the suspicion that the incompetence is related to politics, perhaps to LIAR-in-Chief’s desire to play down the threat.

According to Reuters, the DUHnocchian Badministration has ordered health agencies to treat all coronavirus deliberations as classified. This makes no sense and is indeed destructive in terms of public policy, but it makes perfect sense if the Badministration doesn’t want the public to know how its actions are endangering American lives.

"Democrats, by contrast, have proposed a package that would actually address the needs of the moment: free coronavirus testing, paid sick leave, expanded unemployment benefits and an increase in federal matching funds for Medicaid programs, which would both help states meet the demands of the crisis and sustain overall spending by relieving the pressure on state budgets.
Notice, by the way, that these measures would help the economy in an election year, and therefore arguably help Cheater-in-Chief politically. But Democrats are willing to do the right thing anyway — a stark contrast to the behavior of RepuGNicans after the 2008 financial crisis, when they offered scorched-earth opposition to anything that might mitigate the damage.
The White House, however, is having none of it, with an official accusing Democrats of pushing a “radical left agenda.” I guess sick leave equals socialism, even in a pandemic.
So what’s going on? What we’re seeing here is a meltdown — not just a meltdown of the markets, but a meltdown of Idiot-in-Chief’s [tiny] mind. When bad things happen, there are only three things he knows how to do: insist that things are great and his policies are perfect, cut taxes, and throw money at his cronies.
Now he’s faced with a crisis where none of these standbys will work, where he actually needs to cooperate with Nancy Pelosi to avoid catastrophe. What we saw in Wednesday’s speech was that DUH’s completely incapable of rising to the occasion. We needed to see a leader; what we saw was an incompetent, delusional blowhard.'

DUHnocchio's ANTI-EUROPEAN travel restrictions
Coronavirus: EU condemns DUHnocchio travel ban on 26 European countries .
The Covid-19 pandemic is a "global crisis", said European Commission presidents Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel. It "requires cooperation rather than unilateral action," they said.
DUHnocchio's travel restrictions are due to go into effect on Friday at midnight EDT (0400 GMT). They affect only countries that are members of the Schengen border-free travel area [which does not include Russia] and does not affect US citizens, the UK, or Ireland.
It is a major escalation in the response to Covid-19 by Idiot-in-Chief, who has been accused of inaction. However, the ban was met with frustration in Washington as well as abroad. ----------
The virus is already transmitting as community-acquired infection in the USA. Horse. Barn. Out.
Europe? I have no doubt that Vlad is pleased.
UNpresident Idiot-in-Chief has made a number of misleading statements about his decision on Jan. 31 to impose travel restrictions related to the novel coronavirus epidemic.
DUHnocchio has [misleadingly] referred to the travel restrictions as a “travel ban.” There isn’t an outright ban, as there are exceptions, including for Americans and their family members.
DUHnocchio LIED that he was “bold” in imposing travel restrictions even though “everybody said, it’s too early, it’s too soon” and “a lot of people that work on this stuff almost exclusively” told him “don’t do it.” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said the decision stemmed from “the uniform recommendations of the career public health officials here at HHS.”
DUHnocchio LIED that Democrats “loudly criticized and protested” his announced travel restrictions, and that they “called me a racist because I made that decision.” DUHnocchio is overstating Democratic opposition. None of the party’s congressional leaders and none of the Democratic candidates running for president have directly criticized that decision, though at least two Democrats have.
DUHnocchio LIED that the travel restrictions “saved a lot of lives” and reduced U.S. COVID-19 cases to “a very small number.” But experts say there isn’t enough data to make that determination. A study in the journal Science found the various travel limitations across the globe initially helped to slow the spread, but the number of cases worldwide rose anyway because the virus had already begun traveling undetected internationally.
Azar declared a public health emergency for the novel coronavirus on Jan. 31, and announced the travel restrictions to and from China, effective Feb. 2. On Feb. 29, DUHnocchio expanded those travel restrictions to Iran. DUHnocchio has repeatedly boasted that his decision to impose the travel restrictions was bold and worked. But his [LYING] rhetoric has sometimes stretched the facts.

Partisan STUPIDITY is dangerous
Beware the Deadly Contagion Spread by Blowhards: Ideology is getting in the way of science.
As we wrestle with the new coronavirus, let’s learn lessons from the 2009-10 H1N1 swine flu outbreak in the United States. At first, polls back then showed that both Democrats and Republicans were about equally concerned with the outbreak.
...
Yet because President Barack Obama was in the White House at the time, some C*N*servatives started dismissing the swine flu as a hoax. Wrong-wing media figures were particularly contemptuous at Obama administration suggestions that people get a vaccination against it.
“Screw you,” Rush Limbaugh declared. “I am not going to take it, precisely because you’re now telling me I must. You have some idiot government official demanding, telling me I must take this vaccine. I’ll never take it.”
Over on FAUX Lies, Glenn Beck was similarly conspiratorial. “You don’t know if it’s going to make things worse,” he warned, urging viewers to do “the exact opposite” of what the government recommended.
UNpresident-in-waiting called into FAUX Lies and dismissed concern about the swine flu, telling host Neil Cavuto that “it’s going to go away.” LIAR-in-Chief also cautioned that “the vaccines can be very dangerous.”
...
The implication: While wrong-wing blowhards may infuriate Democrats, they sometimes pose the greatest danger to their own true believers. The bombast of people like Limbaugh and LIAR-in-Chief in this case was lethal — but only if you believed them. Doubting LIARS conferred some immunity.
One lesson of that 2009 outbreak is the paramount importance of relying on information from scientific experts, not from ideological soul mates. I’ve been speaking to epidemiologists and other health experts, and they emphasize that in a crisis like the present one, the government must protect its credibility and the public should rely on experts rather than partisans on either left or wrong.

...
Matthew Baum of Harvard found that people in red states were indeed less likely to get vaccinated — and more likely to die of swine flu. In the end, that swine flu outbreak wasn’t as lethal as many had feared, but it still killed or contributed to the deaths of as many as 400,000 people worldwide. In the United States, it infected 60 million people, caused 274,000 hospitalizations and killed 12,469 people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention....

NYT's hypocricy
Watching the NYT's opinion pieces over the last several months, I formed the distinct impression that the NYT editorial board was quietly opposed to her candidacy.

I Am Burning With Fury and Grief Over Elizabeth Warren. And I Am Not Alone: She might not be bound for the presidency, but she has lodged herself in another powerful place: the female psyche.

I am dismayed, but un-surprised that the still-too-far-wrong American democrats chose unwisely. After all, the American electorate was sufficiently anti-intellectual that it failed to vote against a dimwitted crook devoid of patriotism or morals.
When Americans finally reach the 20th century, they might be open to considering a superior candidate despite the fact that she has indoor plumbing.
The need to cheat
Because no well-informed person in their right mind would choose corporate-shill wrong over pro-citizenry left, the worst UNpresident and worst Badministration in American history NEED to cheat:
Erik Prince, the security contractor with close ties to the DUHnocchio Badministration, has in recent years helped recruit former American and British spies for secretive intelligence-gathering operations that included infiltrating Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Crook-in-Chief agenda, according to interviews and documents.
Secretary Destroyer Batty DuhVos, has at times served as an informal adviser to DUHnocchio Badministration officials. He worked with the [convicted] former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn during the UNpresidential transition. In 2017, he met with White House and Pentagon officials to pitch a plan to privatize the Afghan war using contractors in lieu of American troops. Jim Mattis, then the defense secretary, rejected the idea.
(As educationsecretary destroyer, DuhVos has been a vocal critic of teachers’ unions, saying in 2018 that they have a “stranglehold” over politicians at the federal and state levels. She and Prince grew up in Michigan, where their father made a fortune in the auto parts business.)

...
Sneaky operations were run by Project Veritas, a conservative group that has gained attention using hidden cameras and microphones for sting operations on news organizations.
...
Both Project Veritas and Prince have ties to UNpresident Cheater-in-Chief’s aides and family. Whether any Putin's-Puppet Badministration officials or advisers to the UNpresident were involved in the operations, even tacitly, is unclear. But the effort is a glimpse of a vigorous private campaign to try to undermine political groups or individuals perceived to be in opposition to DUHnocchio’s agenda.
...
Prince, the former head of Blackwater Worldwide and the brother of Education (As education
Prince appears to have become interested in using former spies to train Project Veritas operatives in espionage tactics sometime during the 2016 presidential campaign. Reaching out to several intelligence veterans — and occasionally using Mr. Seddon to make the pitch — Mr. Prince said he wanted the Project Veritas employees to learn skills like how to recruit sources and how to conduct clandestine recordings, among other surveillance techniques.
...
In a book published in 2018, O’Keefe wrote that Cheat-in-Chief years earlier had encouraged him to infiltrate Columbia University and obtain Mr. Obama’s records.
Last month, Project Veritas made public secretly recorded video of a longtime ABC News correspondent who was critical of the network’s political coverage and its emphasis on business considerations over journalism. Many conservatives have gleefully pounced on Project Veritas’s disclosures, including one particularly influential voice: DUH Jr., the UNpresident’s [despicable] eldest son.
Prince is under investigation by the Justice Department over whether he lied to a congressional committee examining Russian interference in the 2016 election, and for possible violations of American export laws. Last year, the House Intelligence Committee made a criminal referral to the Justice Department about Prince, saying he lied about the circumstances of his meeting with a Russian banker in the Seychelles in January 2017.
Once a small operation running on a shoestring budget, Project Veritas in recent years has had a surge in donations from both private donors and C*N*servative foundations. According to its latest publicly available tax filing, Project Veritas received $8.6 million in contributions and grants in 2018. Mr. O’Keefe earned about $387,000.

Project Veritas has also become intertwined with the political activities of Crook-in-Chief and his family. The FAKE Foundation gave $20,000 to Project Veritas in 2015, the year that LIAR-in-Chief began his bid for the UNpresidency. The next year, during a presidential debate with Hillary Clinton, IAR-in-Chief claimed without substantiation that videos released by (PV head James O’Keefe showed that Mrs. Clinton and President Barack Obama had paid people to incite violence at rallies for White-Nationalist-in-Chief.In a book published in 2018, O’Keefe wrote that Cheat-in-Chief years earlier had encouraged him to infiltrate Columbia University and obtain Mr. Obama’s records.

I'm disgusted
... with the USA.
Why would delegates choose another cognitively-failing, already-dim man with a dubious policy-history just because he's riding on an over-cautious president's coat-tails and not sufficiently progressive?
DUHnocchio and the Badministration have always been symptomatic of a failing system and a poorly-informed (read, DISinformed/selfish) electorate.
