They want to die. Trumpers that is.

I stopped by my local Trump/Fox News bar in Columbus tonight for a carry out sub ... stupid good ... and the porch is backed up without one mask and people are on top of each other too.

The Beast is burning through Franklin County 10,000 dignosed cases and at least 100,00 according to the CDC's numbers. My vet's office 1 mile north of here just had to close because 2 of the vets and 2 or 3 of the techs had the virus.

Sweet Tweets

As per MSNBC last night we could very well be @ 1,000,000 new cases per day very soon.

Dr. Fauci said that 100,000 new cases per day is a very real possibility and then another
expert* said that according to the CDC the real # is more than likely 10 times that amount
so we could be looking @ 1,000,000 new cases of C-19 per day.


* Sorry I didn't catch his name he was on Brian Williams show.

So thanx to Trump and company we now are all in one of 2 groups:

1) Those of us that have the virus or had the disease.

2) Those of us that will get the virus.


The surge is occurring because America reopened before COVID-19 was contained.

Even Italy–not always known for the effectiveness of its leaders or the pliability of its citizens–has contained the virus and is reopening without a resurgence.

We are like a D-Day every few days in C-19 deaths or a Titanic every few days ...

... or a 9/11 few days in the number of deaths

"The virus is with us, but we need to live with it," said the White House but many of us will not
"just live with it," because we and or our families and or our friends and or our neighbors
and or our coworkers are not "just living with it." When people die of something they are no longer
"just living with it."

D-Day Deaths 2,501

Of the 4,414 Allied deaths on June 6th, 2,501 were Americans and 1,913 were Allies.

Titanic Deaths 1523

9/11 Deaths 2,977

********

I can't find the exact figures but America is @ something like > 600 C-19 deaths per day.

And this is all on Trump and his enablers. This shit should never have happened. This would not have happened
with Sec. of State Hillary Clinton as President.

"The virus is with us, but we need to live with it," is how one official said the administration plans to message on the pandemic.

South Dakota governor, exposed to virus, joined Trump on jet

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem accompanied President Donald Trump to Washington aboard Air Force One on Friday night despite having had close contact with Trump’s son’s girlfriend, who had tested positive for the coronavirus.

Trump has been in a position all along to encounter a virus that spreads from people who don’t feel sick, such as Noem, who had interacted closely at a campaign fundraiser with Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, who turned out to be sick.

Noem's spokesperson, Maggie Seidel, says the Republican governor didn't wear a mask on the plane and chatted with the president as the flight returned to Washington, D.C.

Repost from 2/28/20 ... Health secretary says "window is closing" to get coronavirus under control

Health secretary says "window is closing" to get coronavirus under control

Source: Axios

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar warned on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday that the "window is closing" for the U.S. to take action and get the coronavirus under control, calling the current state of the outbreak a "very, very serious situation."

Why it matters: Azar's rhetoric stands in stark contrast to that of President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, who claimed at a press briefing on Friday that the U.S. has "flattened the curve" and that much of the surge in new cases is attributable to an increase in testing.

Throughout the pandemic, health officials on the White House coronavirus task force have sounded the alarm about the seriousness of the crisis while political figures like Trump have sought to paint a rosier picture.

The reality is that the U.S. today is getting closer to the worst-case scenario envisioned in the spring — a nationwide crisis, made worse by a vacuum of political leadership, threatening to overwhelm hospitals and spread out of control.

Report warned of coronavirus crisis in November "Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event"

Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November: Sources
"Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event," a source said.

AKA Trump knew about "it" and did nothing except that he and Kush-Turd invested in HCQ (hydroxycholorquine)
and their own C-19 test kits instead of using the one from the W.H.O..
******

As far back as late November, U.S. intelligence officials were warning that a contagion was sweeping through China’s Wuhan region, changing the patterns of life and business and posing a threat to the population, according to four sources briefed on the secret reporting.

The report was the result of analysis of wire and computer intercepts, coupled with satellite images. It raised alarms because an out-of-control disease would pose a serious threat to U.S. forces in Asia -- forces that depend on the NCMI’s work. And it paints a picture of an American government that could have ramped up mitigation and containment efforts far earlier to prepare for a crisis poised to come home.

"Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event," one of the sources said of the NCMI’s report. "It was then briefed multiple times to" the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff and the White House. Wednesday night, the Pentagon issued a statement denying the "product/assessment" existed.

snip

"As a matter of practice the National Center for Medical Intelligence does not comment publicly on specific intelligence matters. However, in the interest of transparency during this current public health crisis, we can confirm that media reporting about the existence/release of a National Center for Medical Intelligence Coronavirus-related product/assessment in November of 2019 is not correct. No such NCMI product exists," the statement said.

The White House National Security Council and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment.

Some of Carl Reiner's last words

Edit .... I just noticed that these tweets are already up on the home page.


As I arose at 7:30 this morning, I was saddened to relive the day that led up to the election of a bankrupted and corrupt businessman who had no qualifications to be the leader of any country in the civilized world...

... At the same time, Hillary Clinton, who had all the needed qualifications to lead our beloved nation, had received 3 million more popular votes than our Russian-installed puppet president.

BTW the Clinton Foundation through the use of science, communication, and global leadership has kept >10,000 HIV + people from getting full blown AIDs. Gee, we couldn’t use that skill now could we?

Let's be real. Is Trump trying to kill as many people as possible? No other way to look @ it.

Despite a staggering rise in the the #s of cases of C-19 Trump has continued to hold
large public events where people do not socially distance themselves and the vast
majority do not wear masks.

He has held rallies in Tulsa, Phoenix Arizona, last night @ Mt. Rushmore, and tonight
a second 4th of July fireworks display in Washington D.C.. Trump knows what he is doing
and that is to get sick as many people as possible even though those people are his
supporters. I might be wrong but I don't think so.
