Looking at the article below, I think that America has a long way to go.
Coronavirus: Michigan protesters defy stay-at-home order
They have a number of issues we don't have compared to us. No healthcare system, unco-ordinated response between the States, infighting between the two big parties, the belief that freedom is more important than anything else (although I don't think getting your roots done is really top priority). Oh yes, and a lunatic for a President.
While the wrong messages come from the top, and there is no single message across the board, I can see this going on for a while. And at the moment, Trump is really underplaying this purely for his own political reasons, and stuff the man in the street.

One of their favourite sayings is "God Bless America!". At the moment I think it should be "God Help America!".
Also scary is the masses have millions of guns. If those protesters get more angry there could be huge problems

Also heard on MSNBC/CNN yesterday how FEMA are pouncing and seizing orders of PPE that individual states and hospitals are sourcing by themselves - as the President has been telling them to do.

He then distributes the PPE to the states who have a GoP Governor and those that say nice things about him (yes really...), and of course boasts about how marvelous HE is doing in providing PPE to the states that need it. Why is he doing this? Well he has pretty much completely depleted the Federal stock by distributing it, almost as largesse, to those states and governors he favours. Corrupt behaviour? - hmmm.

As a result states and hospitals are starting to conceal when they have sourced PPE for themselves, and are keeping quiet about flights bringing in PPE from overseas - so not broadcasting where and when the flights are arriving. Just staggering.
 
Can’t sleep so watching trumps press briefing live and despite knowing what a massive knob the bloke was previously I can’t believe the narcissism

No one would have done a better job than me and the media are spreading false stories

No other country can match what we’re doing and the capabilities we have

We’re over the peak already and we’re going to be below 60,000 deaths
 
He’s openly encouraged citizens to rebel against Covid lockdowns in democratic states ahead of election. He hasn’t done the same in republican states.

He’s literally sacrificing lives for votes.

He’d be impeached if the Republicans cared for lives over power.

His LIBERATE tweets are clear as day incitement to violence and and threatening and intimidation of the Governors of these states. Even given a level of complacency around the utter nonsense, misinformation and downright lies Trump has spouted these last 4 years - many are wondering what the h***...
 
The big problem is that Trump is completely supportive of them - and claiming they are all well behaved and maintaining social distance. Yeh right.

i hear this morning that some states are starting to let such as some shops and gyms to reopen. Ah well. Maybe the governors of these states know something about transmission of infectious diseases that the rest of the governors don’t. Or maybe they just expect Trump and FEMA to come to their rescue if it goes wrong.
 
Watching his briefings is surreal.
He's either got some significant degree of dementia or he's over medicated.
I suspect that they are almost unwatchable unless you are part of his core 32%. He certainly knows how to keep that core on board...even although much if not most of what he spouts is simply not true or is intended to divert criticism and attention from him to anyone or anywhere else. And all because there are 198 days to go. That said the polls suggest a fair degree of unrest among those who voted for him last time round and not in the 32.
 
And so day after day he goes on and on about himself and blaming everyone but himself - and though he never mentioned it yesterday, overnight he tweets that he is going to put a temporary hold on all immigration into the USA.

Well - OK - if that is essential to controlling and getting on top of the pandemic within the USA. But of course it isn't - but what he does is try and put the focus outside of the USA rather than bother with much focus inside the USA other than inciting citizens (many armed) to 'rise up' and ignore the lockdown that he himself has advised - and never mind the risks that such 'liberation' runs. Because those GREAT Americans are of course adhering to social distancing...and behaving just as they should (well in his eyes they are).

Meanwhile another lengthy tweet this morning celebrates his ratings for the briefing - how marvellous they are. Isn't he just marvellous - no matter what the Fake News says. It's completely insane but for the 32 its all they want to hear.
 
I really hope he wins in November.
I'm as certain as I can be that he will - unfortunately!

But, for once in a Blue Moon, Piers Morgan is spot on - at least about Trump! Whether Trump and/or the US Voters can see it, I'm rather dubious! Many just have too many peculiar attitudes and are too susceptible to 'advertising' - and Trump's diatribe - imo!
