Even now President Trump resists a coordinated nationwide response.

Fucking April and there's still no plan.
Just a bunch of patchwork, disorganized measures.

Did you get the word, masks are VOLUNTARY folks.
And Trump's not gonna mask up.
(hint for Trump: he's not going to meet leaders and kings and dictators because they are going to come to a country undergoing a huge outbreak and poor response)

The hospital ship off NYC is now going to accept coronavirus patients, but first you need to move the 20+ non-virus patients somewhere and then set up whatever intake and transfer procedures.  So just a week or 10 days wasted, before the 1000 bed hospital ship starts actually being useful.  You'd think time wasn't important the way all this crap has been handled.  How long till the med ship is half full? is full?  We'll see.  But the wasted initial time is embarrassing and detrimental.

Leaving it up to the states to handle is such a terrible strategy.  So they compete for supplies, get thwarted by weaker measures of a bordering state, can't print money, have limited emergency powers compared to the feds, etc.

The US has done the worst with the virus of any major country.  Probably the worst overall so far, but it's going to get real ugly when the virus rips through Nigeria or Bangladesh or other poor crowded countries.

But it doesn't take balls to kick somebody off, Kid. It takes cause.

What type language would force you to act?  FAC has been much worse than Hamilton ever was.

Not even a warning....

Sad.

“It’s sad, to me, that people are promoting that drug. We know already, from studies, at best it will have a very mild effect — at very best,” said Haseltine, who is well known for his groundbreaking research into cancer, genomics and HIV/AIDS.



Keeping one ALIVE being described as "mild effect".  A gold star indeed for Haseltine.

No.

Fac has never threatened to expose anybody's private information, Kid. Ham did that multiple times. That was what got him removed, not his vitriolic bullshit, not his Boston obsession, and not his racism.

"Much worse?"

You are far more full of shit than Fac is and in no danger of being kicked off.

Looks like the naval command issue is next on Trump's list to be sorted out.

No one saw that coming.

I am shocked,  sir!   

If Trump and cronies were all invested in sugar cane,  we'd be hearing that placebo sugar pills cure CV.

You choose to run a site where all language is accepted - as long as one's identity is not exposed?

Is that your current stance?

You can do better.

Except his point is the actual clinical evidence does not support the claim it keeps people ALIVE. I realize this is inconvenient for Trump's reelection, which as you let out yesterday, is all you really care about.

US ‘wasted’ months before preparing for coronavirus pandemic

This is the truth.
And has become so apparent that even the AP is writing articles such as the above.

Trump fucked up, is still fucking up and that has fucking killed people.
FACT.
