The utter irony... CDC'sRedfield, Fauci, and FDA head all under quarantine!

Trump couldn't even keep them safe? Or they dumbed down to please him? Either way, if Dems don't use this every day, starting tomorrow morning on every show, shame on us.

as my dear old Da used to say... too cool to wear mask and social distance.. I hope the Doctors are okay, they are having to deal with an irrational person who refuses to use common sense..

and probable additional death, it was that moment trump said he was too cool to wear a masks. That simple act read loud and clear to millions...it wasn't macho.

Trump caused death by negligent homicide, plain and simple.

I live in red TX. Going out today for drive thru, it felt like the day before 4th of July. Everyone in town out. Only saw a couple masks. People are really stupid. Yet if you had a leader encouraging safe measures, what a difference that would have made.

As experts in the field they should have insisted on wearing masks and keeping the required space between people at those briefings. If the criminally negligent Con and his goons refused to follow the guidelines, the experts should have refused to participate. Why should people obey their guidelines if they don't obey them themselves?

the magnitude of control and power -45 has over career scientists and lawmakers and military people who know better. It must be enormous!

What makes me tear up though, is to see those precious 95-100 year old WW2 vets being negligently exposed the day after he finds out he was exposed by a valet. I will never ever forget that. My 98 yo dad is a WW2 vet. If he had the mind of years ago, he would be 100% appalled by that travesty.
