    Or the ability of the health care system to respond.

    I can't find him listed anywhere for the last 25 year [since 1995]. And that report is only found in two fringe sources.

    Sometime scientists go nuts after retirement. And as near as I can tell he is over 90 years old.

    When I was moderating a major physics site, we had to ban a Nobel Laureate once. Eeeeeesh. But he had gone round the bend. Course we would have had to ban most members here including the moderators LOL!

    Texas looks like it might be taking off. Oregon bumped up a bit as well.

    It looks like we will exceed the 4000 deaths per day mark in the US, within the next four days or so.

    That would mean we are having the equivalent of one 911 per day, or one Iraq war per day, in terms of the Covid 19 deaths per day.

    The lockdown in NY will eventually work but it will take time, a LOT of time. The Wuhan lockdown lasted more than 2 months so it might only be August before it will be safe to end it in NYC. There death toll will decline but at a much slower rate than it increased.

    So you think the CNN and MSNBS interviews were faked by FOX?
    How about these?

    Those were early Jan to early Feb. At that time the threat was not clear.

    Trump was still talking nonsense and playing it down until last week. Limbaugh was still calling it a hoax.

    Dr. Fauchi stated that the effect of Corona virus on the US would minuscule on February 17.

    Glad you excuse politicians urging the public not to panic and keep calm. I agree and I am very proud of our president for doing his best to keep Americans as calm as possible. Sometimes it is far better to under exaggerate in order to minimize panic.
    I am sure any rational person would agree. Reflecting back on all those democrat politicians telling us this was nothing well into late March, at what point do you think they figured out this would be a way they could use this crisis as a way to derail Trumps re-election.

    And he was singing, "Won't you take me to the Mardi Gras.":roflol:And spring break, too!

    Then projections went to 2.2 million dead in the USA, then 240,000, then 94,000, then 81,000, and now 60,000 dead in the USA. Nobody know what the hell they were talkin' about.

    It's easy to criticize in hindsight, but nobody had much of an idea at all of what was going to happen -- because China gave us a brand new virus bag and then suppressed the numbers they had with the help of the China-centric WHO.

    The MSM has been China-centric all through this thing.

    It's interesting when you can survey the entirety of the "media" over the course of several months to find ~80 seconds worth of quotes that look wrong purely through the lense of hindsight.

    Here is are two videos of Trump personally saying objectively dumb and false things - at the time he said them.

    The right thing to say;

    "Although the risk of a coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. remains low, we are taking precautionary measures"...…...THAT'S GOOD LEADERSHIP

    Denials, dismissals, down-playing and false hopes...…..THAT'S POOR LEADERSHIP

    ----------------

    NOTES:

    NO country was fully prepared to handle a pandemic LIKE Covid19.

    NO country has implemented measures to PREVENT an outbreak, thus, all we could do was to MINIMIZE an outbreak.

    Some governments have done better than others at minimizing an outbreak.

    Yes. Propublica had a story about the Red Chinese creating ~ 10,000 fake Twitter accounts to disseminate fake pro Red Chinese news about their actions. It seems to me that the MSM went ballistic over a few Facebook ads recently but nothing about the Red Chinese Twitter story. Also there is evidence (crematory activity time and funeral urn deliveries) that the real Wuhan deaths were ~ 50,000 not the 5000 the Reds reported.

    Tell that to Dr. Fauchi who repeatedly stated that he completely believed the Red Chinese falsely reported numbers and highly contagious nature of the virus.

    I have respect for Dr. Fauchi but he contributed to the belief in the Chinese lies. The South Hampton University study estimates that had China acted 3 weeks earlier when warned by Li Wenliang 95% of the global damage would have been avoided.

    I didn't go over the entirety of the media, the video I provided only covered the leftie media, you know the ones who now are pointing their fingers at the president for saying the very same things they were voiced at the very same time.
    With respect to Trump's handling his day to day briefings, I take it you would prefer that he used the tactic of making everything as bad as possible and using the worst possible scenarios during those briefings? You clearly think that would have done a lot to calm the psyche of the American public or would you just have used that against him at a later date? I think the latter would have been the fact.

    Again, no, they were not saying the same things at the same time.

    And no, it is a false choice to think Trump has to choose between lying and making everything as bad as possible.

    When was the pandemic declared ??

    Why do we continuously see “blame Trump” and not blame Red China who could have prevented the entire global pandemic and saved ~ 80,000 lives.

    Well, as I communicated to you before, turn off your television and internet when your president is speaking, it will lower the blood pressure of a lot of those on the left side of politics.

    We blame Trump because Trump has a much greater degree of control over how our country prepared and reacted to that virus than "Red China"

    UK death figures may appear to be considerably worse than normal today as Scotland have reported that their figures were under reported and will be added on to today's figures :(
