TRUMP, What the hell is going on

[Mudball]

And we hear from Trump on the views of his 'CMO' - Dr Anthoy Fauci - in respect of the dangers of opening up too quickly - Fauci's views are unacceptable. Fauci will soon be even more excluded from any briefings by the White House than he is at the moment (in self-imposed quarantine). And though I am not all over the US news channels - I haven't seen or heard much from Dr Deborah Birx (Coronavirus Response Coordinator) recently either. Oh joys for our cousins across the pond.

Who cares about reality and death.. the best thing is the drama of a WH briefing. The latest is the new press secretary - Kelly or Kellianes or whatever her name is. Who has earned Trumps respect by humiliating MSM journalist by responding strongly to their questions.

You cannot compare numbers internationally as you don't know the age or health structure of the cases or the efficiency of capturing them.
Honk Kong doctors are neither dishonest nor incompetent, they had extensive experience with SARS.
Their numbers are almost certainly reliable.

In a similar vein, India has been widely affected but the state of Kerala in South India has been a revelation on how to manage the pandemic. They went into lockdown first, they created Red-Amber-green zones to get open. They organised food and supplies to every household in the state. The state has a democratically elected left leaning Communist government!! While the rest of India is struggling, Kerala is being discussed as a model in UN alongside South Korea et al. Guardian carried a story this week with Kerala health minister (she was a school teacher before this) features

Speaking at a rally, President Trump monologues:
“When you test you have a case… if we didn’t do any testing we would have very few cases. They don’t want to write that.”

As Auto Sergie would say.. SIMPLES

And so when Katie Miller (Pence's Press Sec.) was tested positive after so many days of testing negative, Trump expressed bafflement and questioned the point of testing when that sort of thing happens...? LOL (if it was a joke - but it's not).

Well of course he'd question the point of testing as it inevitably increases the numbers of infected. See only back to March 6th when Trump did not want a cruise ship's 21 infected passengers disembark. There were 20 cases of infection in the US and Trump liked that number. He didn't want it to double.

If you don't count the numbers then the numbers can't go up. Well that thinking went well. What a ....

I see Rory has refused to play golf with Trump ever again.

I'm sure Trump is worried. Did Rory need to publicise his decision and get into a political arena?

2 years ago today I was in a bar in Dublin that had this urinal with Trumps image postered into it.. It really is perfect and sums up a lot of what he says ?

Out of boredom I watched a few of Trump's briefing on YouTube earlier. The guy is a total fruitcake. Why give up your time to watch/listen to what he has to say? He sure as hell isn't going to give any thought to anyone other than himself. He does not have one redeeming feature. And whatever he chooses to do the other side of the pond he will do. We don't even get to vote for or against...

I see Rory has refused to play gold with Trump ever again.

I'm sure Trump is worried. Did Rory need to publicise his decision and get into a political arena?

That’s the thing though, he does worry. That is why every time someone in the public eye mocks him or is critical of him, he throws his toys out of the pram and acts like a 5 year old.

Re: Rory publicising his decision, yes he should, the more who do that the better.

Rory who?

What I find amazing (and not in a good way) is just how rabidly loyal his supporters are.
The latest "doctors and nurses running towards death...being a beautiful thing" was repeatedly defended on various Facebook threads I made the mistake of looking at.

Isn't that a bit like inheriting the family overdraft?

Surely he was lying when he said he was taking chloroquinone yesterday, it has heart side effects and is completely unproven in limited Covid-19 trials. His bravado has no limits.

Seems Eric doesn't understand the concept of irony ?

 

[Robster59]

He probably thinks Irony is a bit like Iron (© I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue )

Kind of guy that thinks monogamy is a type of wood ?

I think I know what might have happened. If you don't, I would start by asking the milkman, and the postman.

Study that first sentence carefully. Then ask Murph how he knows?

Give his his dues on this although I doubt he wrote it.
