    "Our window of opportunity is closing. If we fail to develop a national coordinated response, based in science, I fear the pandemic will get far worse and be prolonged, causing unprecedented illness and fatalities," Bright is expected to say Thursday, according to his prepared testimony obtained by CNN. "Without clear planning and implementation of the steps that I and other experts have outlined, 2020 will be darkest winter in modern history."

    Bright is set to testify Thursday morning before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce's health subcommittee after he filed a whistleblower complaint last week alleging he was removed from his post in retaliation for opposing the broad use of a drug frequently touted by President Donald Trump as a coronavirus treatment.

    -----------------------------------------------
    Trump, and his TACTIC, to remove himself, and disband all task force recommendations not having to do with GETTING TO WORK, will kill.

    His claim, that AGAIN, he FEELS it will disappear, by magic, will kill.

    His hiding the opening guidelines, will KILL.

    His calling those with masks sissies, and weak, and not patriotic, will KILL.

    His hand picking experts that will mirror his bunk, WILL KILL.

    His likelihood of Relocking down, once we are open, NIL.

    We are slaves to his ambition. And when we are sick, on his slave ship, we are thrown to the sharks, which lessens death counts.

    This is shaping up to be a nightmare.

    We Americans, will likely be not only pariahs, but banned from leaving the cursed continent we occupy.

    Who would want Americans visiting, when we are using 18th century medicine? Herd immunity will likely train the virus to mutate, making the vaccines countries have, IF AT ALL, useless.

    Trump is playing with the end of the United States. For real. We could not sustain, with millions dead and dying.

    And Jared HOPES he does not have to move the election, but who knows, he says.

    The best "ramped up response" is one of personal and civic responsibility. We have to mobilize the near entirety of our country to conform to infection mitigation strategies; social distancing, masks, staying home when required, etc. If we cant do that come winter then the absolute nation wide disaster we will experience will make the past few months of minor inconveniences look like a golden age.

    We've got a ticking clock to start re-designing how we function as a society and to manufacture enough PPE to supply every person in the land with their own mini-stockpile. If we treat this like a war and we'll win it. If we treat this like some political ploy then I think we're doomed.

    If he's against hydroxycloroquine he's an idiot, the medical world has passed him by.

    So should I run around in circles with my arms flailing now?

    What a bunch of fear mongering crap. Stupidity is contagious and can be contracted by turning on the TV.

    Yes, my avatar is a silly cartoon character. I feel bad for those who buy into this fear crap. Throwing your life away in small pieces is just as tragic.

    Cheap insults don't strengthen your case. I live in Los Angeles and the first day of the stay at home order, people crowded the beaches and parks. Are these the rational people you speak of? I don't think there are too many right wingers at Venice beach! Half of CA deaths were related to nursing homes.

    I live in Los Angeles
    I am not a right winger
    I am not fooled by your "The sky is falling" fear mongering.

    HCQ only works in the minds of the Trump supporters

    Otherwise America’s death toll would not be at over 80,000 people

    Your weak attempt at insulting others only revealed your own lack of knowledge. There were people of all ages, most were not right wingers and all were far from rural areas.

    Hope is a very anemic source of power. Hope, leaves it to others to act morally. Hope, is passive.

    Leadership at every level IMO. Elected leaders, celebrities, social influences, business icons, and individuals.

    Which underscores the need to remove this president from office!!!

    Trump's ineptitude is growing as exponentially as the virus.

    Fear mongering garbage. Go huddle in your basement while the rest of us get on with our lives. You've got a higher probability of dying in a car wreck than from the wuhan flu.

    Well, Rick Bright is not too bright because there are only 10 days left of the 2020 Winter.

    Might as well head east like many other Californians, but you can’t be scared in AZ when you see thousands carrying sidearms in grocery stores, convenient stores, Home Depot’s, Walmart’s etc.

    I have 5 kids and deep roots. I will have to stay and fight. Besides, dems have CA going towards insolvency and it will eventually reach a tipping point. Its just not sustainable.

    Bright won't be the last. As the COVID1984 Moral Panic wears out factually and scientifically, the malefactors will trot any number of "Brights" out just like they did with any of the standard attacks on Trump. People are "inoculated" by it these days, they really overplayed their hand.

    Drama, drama. I think some of the folks who don't want this to end are simply addicted to the drama. Especially the young; this is their 9/11, or so they hoped. The crisis is winding down, according to the numbers. Those who prefer it doesn't wind down will have to figure out where they will go from here. After all, the virus has proven itself not to be as fatal as was thought at first. Sorry...

    Here we see the lies from the Trump propaganda.

    In 8 weeks, the deaths from COVID are way more than double dying in a car, and it is rising!

    You have a 1 in 88 chance of dying in a vehicle accident. You have a 1 in 468 chance of dying from the coronavirus. Facts mean things. I'm sorry you have Trump derangement syndrome and want to make a virus into a political issue. It's sad really.
