    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

Trump has obviously been coached to show empathy. 
He doesn’t know what that looks like so he just talks slowly and at a lower register.

either that or he missed his ‘meth cocktail’ injection

All the people who say its the same as the flu are wrong. 

They're more than wrong. They're idiots. 

No Donald, that Large Blue Mountain Blix referenced isn’t your paunch (Donald peers down)

Now we are going to try and rewrite history and show that Trump saved a million lives.

Dont kid yourself... we’re moving the goal posts here.

This is fucking amazing.

Fox News better show that California and Washington curve and what social isolation and sheltering does for their viewers.

As long as you have states like Texas and Florida . . .

Florida is absolutely going to go full Florida on this. I expect them to pass NY in total cases in 3 to 4 weeks as NY's shelter in place starts to pay off.  Still some dumbasses in NY gathering in crowds though so maybe not.

I agree. I was snooping around on the Villages newsletter and it sounded like the residents were ignoring any social distancing. A few folks were writing into the paper, but didn't sound like people were paying attention. It's really sad.

Trump getting tired of waiting his turn but Fauci and Birx need to get this info out. Imperative.

LMAO at this pussy refusing to answer the "projected mortality" question and dumping it off to Dr. Brix and Dr. Fauci.

GOD what an utter jackass this guy is.  Calling him "Lt. Dike" is a huge insult to Lt. Dike.

If we can suppress those other cities from seeing that peak. Oh Dr. Fauci, bless your heart. They don't listen to you.

Reporter: When is there going to be more testing?

Trump: (Word Salad). We're doing more than anybody else.

Went through Lakeway today at lunch to drop some supplies off for a friend and it's as crowded as ever and maybe worse than normal. Very few people wearing mask in stores, line at Chick-fil-A was out to 620. Shit ton of olds hobbling into Home Depot to buy whatever including plants.

I won't be surprised if this area is hit hard with all the self-entitled assholes and Fox News crowd thinking it's a hoax.

My Dad was one of the few public Democrats in Lakeway until he died 7 years ago. A lot of really good older guys there who scheduled their day around the Rush Limbaugh show and O'Reilley. I imagine many of those retirees are also gone now, but that is a conservative area filled with older people. At least they have a big hospital handy to them when it hits. 

A lot of homes might be coming on the market by summertime. I wonder what the real estate market will do in these hard times. Any clues?

Yes. Birx is speaking to reporter who asked about the demographics of the projected fatalities.

NY metro needs to be doing more  - a LOT more. They should not be cutting away from the scientists.

So the HEBs to avoid are Hancock HEB and Bee Caves HEB?

There's definitely a wait at the Oak Hill HEB at the Y. The Randalls at Wm Cannon and Mopac has no line to get in and they seem to be very proactively keeping the carts and surfaces very clean. Downside: Randall's is out of a lot of stuff.

Reporter: Testing numbers. Where are the 27 million tests that were promised by the end of the month?

Pence: Says it is a misunderstanding. Logistics. The antiquated system didn't allow for testing speed.

Pence bails as reporter presses.

Birx to pinch hit.

Well, maybe that will get California to process their outstanding tests.

Trump back up. He's going to go with his favorite number.

There it is: 2.2 million.

The NY and NJ daily press conferences are more informative and have been consistently over 2 weeks ahead of federal guidelines on social distancing, self quarantine, and honesty about infection rates and hospital needs.  

Fauci and Birx are fine scientists and doctors, but they don't have permission to speak freely. Quite honestly, the daily federal press conference is extremely damaging for NY viewers who may take the federal recommendations over more stringent state recommendations. I suppose its better than nothing for red state viewers who get little to no state advice.

Oh definitely. But the folks I know here in Texas that are Trump supporters do pay attention when they have these conferences so I want those doctors giving them the straight dope as much as they are allowed to do.

NY/NJ need to listen to their governors.

that fat orange fuck just cant help himself. Wants everyone to congratulate him for not adopting a path of "just riding it out". Yay! Congrats you didnt take the absolute worst possible course of action.....4 more years!

This has been a complete disaster at the top from the beginning and no one should ever let the Donald J. Trump administration forget it.

They have failed at every step.

No offense but NY/NJ were far too late in waking the fuck up.

Washington State is the gold standard. California applied Washington standards on a wide scale and it is working (knock on wood). 

Governor Inslee looks like a fucking genius for going 2 weeks earlier than the rest and they haven't had a uptick surge like other regions. He seems like an intelligent and effective leader.  Every state is different but he seems to have handled it right from the jump. Good on him and his peeps.

I believe Trump would be bragging about 2.2 million dying.  His entire life is numbers:  money spent, money earned, money lost, television ratings, on and on.  The higher, the better.  In everything he's ever done in his life, he has to have a higher number.

Amen. We are one week ahead of NY and doing far better.

Mike, really? Governor DeSantis is taking decisive steps? What world do you live in?

watching on mute, but let me guess the math here.

trump doing nothing = ~2.2mm deaths.

trump doing something = ~200,000 deaths.

therefore, trump's "action" saved ~2mm lives.

am i close?

i just tuned in and saw that so now we're going from 15 days to slow the spread to 30 days to slow the spread.

more than 60 days from the beginning of the crisis really beginning.
