The Vice Presidential hopeful and the mainstream media have been gushing about Blake meanwhile omitting or burying his alleged criminal misconduct toward women.

Alleged?

Joe Biden.?

You mean Trump with 30 credible accusers and who admitted to serial sexual assaults on audio Tape?

And who refuses to have his DNA tested because a 20+ year old dress might have his residue on it?! "I have never met that woman. ... She's not my type."

[REDSTATEWARD]

The fact is, when Trump says he didn't want to create a "panic" he was talking about the markets and the shutdown measures because he saw them primarily as threats to his reelection.

Joe Biden and the dems are going to be reminded of their response to the Swine Flu out break.

In2009 as H1n1  looked like a big threat to the country Biden proclaimed:

Listen, we need to be aggressive early on this!

The next week, Biden made good on his pledge — and set off a deluge of criticism. In an interview on NBC’s “Today,” Biden said he wouldn’t advise his family to fly on planes or ride the subway.
“I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places right now," Biden said. "It’s not that it’s going to Mexico, it’s that you are in a confined aircraft. When one person sneezes, it goes everywhere through the aircraft.”
Airlines angrily accused Biden of fearmongering. Media reports noted that Biden’s pessimism contrasted sharply with the reassurances President Barack Obama had given a day earlier, when he said there was no need to panic even as he declared a national health emergency. In a matter of hours, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Deputy Secretary of State Jack Lew were summoned to the White House and assigned to clean up the mess Biden made: “Nip it in the bud,” LaHood said, recalling their instructions.(Politico)

As it turned Obama/Biden avoided a disaster only because of luck
as recalled by former Biden chief of staff Ron Klain who said at Texas A&M in 2019:
We did every pos­si­ble thing wrong. Sixty mil­lion Amer­i­cans got H1N1 in that pe­riod of time, and it is just purely a for­tu­ity that this isn’t one of the great mass-ca­su­alty events in Amer­i­can his­tory. [It] had noth­ing to do with us do­ing any­thing right; just had to do with luck.
If any­one thinks that can’t happen again, they don’t have to go back to 1918. Just go back to 2009, 2010. Imag­ine a virus with a dif­fer­ent lethal-ity, and you can just do the math.”

LOL?  That actually proves that Biden was the voice of reason.  His voice was ignored and the US was lucky that H1N1 wasn't more lethal.

Ah.
So Obama should have listened to Joe?
Why do you suppose he didn’t?

Doesn't matter.  Obama isn't running for president.

LOL!
He was in 2009.

Biden wanting to be careful and take precautions during H1N1 underscores that Biden would have been much much better at controlling and stopping CV-19.

I don't see how that's an argument in favor of Trump or against Biden.
Take infectious diseases seriously.  Deal with them early and strongly.  Right on, Joe.

Trump was running for president in 2016, Ward.

Obama was not running for president in 2009.

  Of course he was.  He was in his first term with the goal of governing to get a second term.
Handling a potential health crisis without inducing panic was a top priority.  Even Knicks got that right.

Are you paying attention?

And you're claiming that Obama got lucky the virus wasn't deadlier.
1.  So doesn't that mean that Biden had the smarter more careful approach, even if it turned out not necessary (by sheer luck)?
2. Dealing with a virus honestly and actively doesn't equate to PANIC!
But rather being safe and careful, protecting lives.  Good government.
3. Biden's instincts on dealing with a highly transmissible and potentially deadly virus is to take precautions early and protect people.  Hurray.  Exactly what Trump failed to do with CV-19 with disastrous results for most Americans. 
4. So as you've cited and proved, Biden would have handled the Virus much better than Trump.  With likely an early effective response.

Thanks for playing ...

[bodiddley]

Mattis once told then-National Intelligence Director Dan Coats, “There may come a time when we have to take collective action” because Trump is “dangerous” and “unfit” to be president.

Woodward says Mattis told Coats, “The president has no moral compass.”

Coats, the book says, replied: “True. To him, a lie is not a lie. It’s just what he thinks. He doesn’t know the difference between the truth and a lie.”

Trump = a clear and present danger.

[Echo]

In good news, the US ratio of deaths to finished cases is finally under 5 percent. The hope is that it keeps dropping. The world is about half a percent lower than we are.

The hope is that that number keeps dropping, because 5% of our remaining open cases is still a lot of people.

Yesterday, we passed Italy for deaths per million. We'll pass the UK in a few days and Spain about a week later, leaving only one substantial Western European country with a higher rate of deaths.

We're also going to cross 2% of the US having been diagnosed in a few days.
