I have no problem blaming Trump for the things he’s responsible for, but this is just making up stuff to blame him for.

Karma will come around, one way, or moment, or the other. This is a time to "pay it forward" so ignore the muppets on the fringe of this (IMO) and focus on how we can take care of those we love, care for and the extended "family". The rest will take care of itself in due course.
At this point I feel like he 100% understands the severity of the situation, but he certainly didn’t at the beginning of this breakout and i think that set the tone for the situation we currently have now
We were never gonna stop corona from getting here but I feel like if more people took it seriously from the beginning our curve would look a lot better than it does currently.
And I’m guilty of not taking it seriously back in January too....I’m just not the president and don’t get intel. I probably would have taken it more seriously if it was publicly treated more seriously
It makes me wonder who was at the intel briefings that were given to trump on the pandemic and did trump pass along the information

I don’t disagree with any of this, but at this point the message should have reached those dense enough to not see just about everything around them close.
kids haven’t been to school in weeks, sports leagues are shut down, businesses are closed, people are losing jobs, but the only message that they get is from Trump weeks ago?
making stuff up? yeah right
He just said to wear masks then says he;s not wearing one

Thats speculation though. That video shows our top expert not thinking the virus was a threat at the time and hes in charge of the response now
What youre saying for sure has validity....there’s just a lot of really stupid people out there unfortunately
I still know people having gatherings. It’s insanity

51 residents positive for coronavirus at Wilmington nursing home, despite having no symptoms - The Boston Globe
A Wilmington nursing home that had been set for use as a coronavirus recovery center delayed that plan Friday after more than half the residents slated to be moved tested positive for the virus despite having no symptoms, the facility’s parent company said.
AdviniaCare at Wilmington, which has 142 beds, tested 98 residents who were planned to leave the facility and found 51 were positive for COVID-19, Pointe Group Care LLC said in a statement.
Those residents will be kept separate from those who tested negative, the company said, and will receive care from Partners HealthCare. Staff members at the facility will also be tested.

If any of us did this we’d be in jail.
Georgia senator Loeffler dumped travel company stock before Trump announced ban on European travel - The Boston Globe
Senator Kelly Loeffler sold a total of $46,027 worth of stock in an online travel company in the day leading up to President Donald Trump’s announcement of a ban on most European travel to the U.S.
Though the transactions were relatively small for Loeffler and her husband -- whose net worth is estimated at more than $500 million -- the sales represented an about-face.
Loeffler, a Georgia Republican, had just days earlier purchased the shares, in Booking Holdings, jointly with her husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, the chief executive officer of Intercontinental Exchange, parent firm of the New York Stock Exchange
Booking Holdings provides online bookings for flights, hotels and other travel-related services, all of which have collapsed because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Last month, news reports about her sales and purchases of other stocks -- after government briefings to Congress on the virus -- caused a stir, with critics questioning whether she was sufficiently focused on her constituents. Some stock sales by another senator, Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican, have prompted a government inquiry.
The new, detailed financial disclosures from Loeffler show that she and her husband bought $590,557 in stocks between Feb. 24 and March 13, and sold stocks worth $845,557 from Feb. 20 to March 9th.

what in the f*** is going on? 51 positive tests on the elderly and none of them have symptoms? We sure the tests are accurate?
Boston company aims to make 60,000 ventilators a month for coronavirus patients
The Ventilator Project, a Seaport-based nonprofit organization that Mantel, of Watertown Robotics, and local entrepreneur Alex Frost started on March 20, says it is finishing up plans for a much cheaper ventilator that can be mass produced to try to fill the huge shortage caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic .
“It looks more than feasible,” Mantel insisted to the Herald of his intention to begin producing thousands a month. “We can get it out quickly, and we can get it out globally.”
The ventilator’s successfully pumping air, and the team that’s quickly risen to 200 people is finishing up the machine’s controls with an eye on getting it before the U.S. Food & Drug Administration this coming week for a quick approval. If everything goes as planned, they would make 1,000 in the first month, 4,000 in the next month and then eventually 60,000 a month. They’re trying to raise $2.5 million to scale up.
“We’re creating a manufacturing plan that any plant in the world could make,” Mantel said, adding that he’s been in talks with major distributors.

To add this this, it is called the Spanish Flu because Spain, having been neutral in WWI, didnt have press censorship and was the first nation to report on it in a widespread way.
Best approximation says it originated in Kansas.

It's literally what Martha Stewart went to jail for.
So my neighbor (working from home too) came over to watch GOT (Red Wedding). we sat 6 feet apart. We ordered a pizza from a local pizza place. we watched 3 episodes. It was a nice break from working and the news
Now I am waiting for Real Time at 10. I hope Bill can make me laugh.

My son made it back safely from Ontario, a 4600+ km drive. Now on to the next phase after he waits until this lockdown eases.
