degeneration. 

It's weird how both Marxist collectivism and liberal democracy devolve into oligarchy.

It is not weird.
It is a myth.

Your usual incisive denialism sans reasoned argumentation or evidence.
I just never post the truth.
No, you NEVER tell the truth.
How clever.  When you have no response just change the wording of the argument.
You feel better for being such a coward?

Hahaha!

You have no fucking clue how stupid you sound.

Here, I'll fix it back. It works the same either way.

You fail to support arguments.

You never admit to mistakes.

And you are almost never capable of criticizing your own party, even to being unable to admit they are racist after SCOTUS says they were being racist.

And you want to accuse me of cowardice? You're like Trump, accusing others of whatever malady you suffer from.

Meanwhile, Ward, do you have anything to say about Trump's telling Pence to not call any governors who are not nice to him?

Or about Trump's telling vendors not to ship products to Michigan?

Or about our government's complete and utter failure to deal effectively with the cruise ships?

p.s. i didn't edit your initial post, only the one in my response, which is the same thing people have been doing here for more than a decade.

Asshole.

Whew - hell of a headline




Further, a recent report by Reuters that the U.S. had recently terminated a CDC position in China was widely cited by Democrats and reporters as evidence of a lack of preparedness, and formed the basis for a reporter's question at a recent White House coronavirus briefing.

But, the article itself made clear that experts didn't think the move had anything to do with the spread of coronavirus in the United States.

"One disease expert told Reuters he was skeptical that the U.S. resident adviser would have been able to get earlier or better information to the Trump administration, given the Chinese government’s suppression of information," the outlet noted

“In the end, based on circumstances in China, it probably wouldn’t have made a big difference,” former CDC epidemiologist and Emory University professor Scott McNabb told Reuters.

“The problem was how the Chinese handled it," McNabb continued. "What should have changed was the Chinese should have acknowledged it earlier and didn’t.”

Good correction.

It was still a sign of lack of preparedness, but lcearly not nearly as essential as Trump's firing the Pandemic Response Team!

(You never seem to discuss that, shockingly enough.

You are a hack.)

Some good news, for a change:

That should make a ton of things easier, especially as the numbers needing testing continues to climb sharply.

We should start to have realer numbers starting in about a week.

If the numbers we have been getting are just the tip of the iceberg, it is going to get absurdly ugly.

As it stands, the international percentage of dead among the closed cases has been constantly climbing, 15, 16, now 17% of that total. Our "serious/critical" case numbers have never been as robust as they should have, but the US S/C cases numbers lagged for ages - they lag no longer, having gone up another 15% yesterday.

For our deaths to closed cases ration to get down to the 1.5% we are hoping is the worst it gets, we would need to have well over 10 times as many cases as we do without increasing our deaths much at all.
