    Don't worry folks the people who profit from Panic will do everything they can to downplay anything that even remotely resembles good news.

    Just coincidentally cold and flu season is almost over...

    Less  lucky than Steve, more  lucky than  you. Models are saying the odds of a significant minority,  if not a majority of Americans will eventually get infected with  this bug. Hope for all the guys here it's  mild symptoms  at worst. 

    With the Masters now pushed back to November, I'm expecting  the NFL season to  start around the  same time.  Football in January and  February on the Lake. Glad I  have plenty of cold weather gear. Super Bowl next April?  Could happen.

    Reports: Obama admin used up the stockpile of N95 masks but never replenished the supply, despite recommendations to do so

    it would be so refreshing and uplifting if folks who hate Pres Trump (for winning the election) would criticize obaMao commie and Joe Biden over this.

    Things got grim yesterday... which was the good news. Good in that our President now seems to fully understand, if not accept... afterall he gotta be he... that this virus is not a sensationalized MSM hoax, is not going to just disappear... at least not anytime soon..., is not like the flu, etc., etc., etc.

    Brix revealed that unmitigated between 1.5 and 2.2 million deaths could occur in the US (gee... where have I seen numbers like those before).

    Birx: In their estimates, they had between 1.5 million and 2.2 million people in the United States succumbing to this virus without mitigation.  Yet, through their detailed studies and showing us what social distancing would do, what people — what would happen if people stayed home, what would happen if people were careful every day to wash their hands and worry about touching their faces, that what an extraordinary thing this could be if every American followed these.  And it takes us to that stippled mountain that’s much lower — a hill, actually — down to 100,000 to 200,000 deaths, which is still way too much.  But this model assumes full mitigation.

    Dr. Birx then moved on to another slide...

    Birx: But this is a slide that gives us great hope and understanding about what is possible.  On the bottom of the slide, where you can barely see that blue line at the very bottom, that’s the current cases in California, the cumulative cases in California, where they’re doing significant testing.

    The next line up is Connecticut.  The orange line is New Jersey.  The blue line is New York.  The yellow line is Washington.  We all remember Washington State.  It was just a month ago when they started to have the issues in Washington State, but they brought together their communities and their health providers, and they put in strong mitigation methods and testing.  And you can see what the result in Washington State and California is.  But without the continuation for the next 30 days, anything could change.

    This is done community by community.  We all know people are in their states and in their communities.  And we’re very dependent on each person in the United States doing the same thing...

    As we started and — we will end with it’s communities that will do this.  There’s no magic bullet.  There’s no magic vaccine or therapy.  It’s just behaviors.  Each of our behaviors translating into something that changes the course of this viral pandemic over the next 30 days.

    So basically the main point to this point in the Presser is that: the entire nation must do as CA, WSH, and even NY/NJ are now doing or they will end up like NY, jeopardize our nation's progress and prolong our economic shutdown.

    In the first Q&A question about a chart of projected deaths Trump bluffs before deferring...

    Q    Just to be clear, what is the projected death toll, should the people be reasonably good at following these mitigation measures?

    THE PRESIDENT:  Well, if they’re reasonably good, I guess we could say that — I’d like to have maybe Dr. Fauci or Deb come up and say.  I mean, I have numbers but I’d rather have them say the numbers, if you don’t mind.  It’s a big — it’s a big question.

    He's so cute when he bluffs...

    ***ASIDE***: Did you ever notice that Trump calls Dr. Fauci "Dr. Fauci", but calls Dr. Birx "Deb" or "Deborah"? I wonder why that is??? Anyway...

    The next question shows the depth of our President's understanding...

    Reminder: the chart referred to here is the one Dr Birx used to show the relative paths of the states to date.

    Q    Would you tell them — would you tell cities that aren’t doing what, you know, New York, New Jersey, Washington — you know, the cities that have been taking charge in all of this — would you urge some of the cities that haven’t been doing this, Mr. President, to get with the program?

    THE PRESIDENT:  Well, I would.  But if you see, New York — I believe the blue is New York — New York is having a much harder time than other of the cities.  Certain cities are doing actually, if you look down here, an incredible job.  They were early.  They were very, very firm, and they’ve done an incredible job.  This is New Jersey and New York.  This is —

    (Editorial: There were no cities on the chart.... only states... and so Dr. Birx tries to save the President)

    DR. BIRX:  Cali- — I mean, remember, California and Washington State were down here, and they had some of the earliest cases.

    Q    But we’re seeing places in Florida not doing what New York and New Jersey have been doing, what Washington State has been doing.

    THE PRESIDENT:  But they’re doing very well by comparison.

    lol.... Ladies and Gentlemen... The President of the United States.

    Here's the link to the transcript...

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-briefing-15/

    It's late so I won't do all of the April Fools Presser... but I will say it was a two-partner with our Commander-in-Chief featured in Part 1 along with a campaign cast of Generals and the Acting Secretary of Defense. apparently we're getting tough on drug smuggling or something...

    We did learn Trump is #1 on facebook... we now know that because he told us.

    Sneak Part 2 Preview: Da Prez is now a fan of scarves...

    Then after a brief intermission came the Corona Presser... which more prominently featured VP Pence under a bus...

    Betcha can't wait...

    Haven't seen you here in a while. Don't be a stranger.

    Well well,  look what we have here...from CNN.

    Top public health official says number of dead could be lower as Americans practice social distancing

    A source close to the task force said it's possible the eventual death toll will be "way under" the 100,000-to-240,000 figure.

    Aw... Sebastian missed me...

    Thus my use of the term unmitigated... hell it was even italicized in my post.

    You don't do smart-ass very well.... well at least not both parts of it.

  • Meanwhile back at my thread...

    Trumpy has his routine now...

    • lie about how well his administration is doing
    • promote unproven drugs
    • accept praise from Pence and special guest stars
    • take credit for things state programs are doing
    • call on Fauci to do a little dance
    • prevent Fauci from doing any encores
    • attack a reporter
    • avoid answering a pointed question
    • attack another reporter
    • hand the ball to VP and leave... to watch the rest of the Presser on TV.
  • Meanwhile since everyone's attention has been diverted by the daily trumpy rally, he managed to usurp the power of the House to have oversight on what he's doing with all the relief money. Welcome to Monarchy 101 to be followed by Chavez 202.

    Deflection of the responsibility that trumpy refuses to take. Nice try cal. But you're just trying to throw up more smoke and mirrors for this moron.

  • not deflection - comparison. Never remember one time you bashed obaMao commie. but here we are, every single thing Pres Trump does/doesn't do, says/doesn't say, has for breakfast/doesn't have for breakfast, jokes/doesn't joke, etc etc etc etc is BAD.

    eight years of silence about obaMao commie, and the scandals are very, very real.

    Mattis rebukes Trump over removal of Pentagon inspector general

    Jenna McLaughlin, David Knowles and Michael Isikoff - 15 hrs ago
     
    Former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis issued a rare public rebuke of President Trump Tuesday over his decision to fire Glenn Fine, the Pentagon inspector general charged with overseeing implementation of the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package. 

    “Mr. Fine is a public servant in the finest tradition of honest, competent governance,” Mattis told Yahoo News in an email. “In my years of extensive engagement with him as our Department of Defense’s acting Inspector General, he proved to be a leader whose personal and managerial integrity were always of the highest order.”

    The Department of Defense announced Trump’s latest salvo in an ongoing bid to reshape government oversight of his administration on Tuesday, saying that the president had removed Fine from the acting inspector general role he had held at the Pentagon for more than four years.
