Wow.

So NY is even worse than reported.

Who runs NY and NYC, again?

Who runs CDC, NIH, HHS, NSC, and intelligence agencies? That idiot dismissed all the early warnings.

"Little exemplifies that more than the way his health and human services secretary, Alex Azar, tried to get Trump to focus on the coronavirus twice in January, first on Jan. 18 and then on Jan. 30, when he warned it could become a pandemic. Trump dismissed the warning, characterizing Azar as an alarmist."

They were following the words of the president, because no one told them what was going on.

In a country of 300 M compared to Italy (with what 60M?? 70M)... NYC is in bad shape (but that's not so surprising considering the mayor they have...) --
The rest of the country? Not completely back, but very soon.

The crisis is over -- the US is going to get back to work mid-May. The total death from Covid-19 will not top 60 K (just a a bad flu year) -- Sorry for the hysterical people who are predicting (hoping??) for no school until 2021 and confinement until a vaccine is found.. This is simply insane..

I don't really care if this helps Trump or not. I just don't want to be like people wishing more deaths (or a prolonged recession) because they think/hope it's the only chance to get ride of Trump...

The U.S. will go back to work in May because we have no choice.

The virus is going to hit us again and harder in the summer. We bought ourselves some time. What did we do with it?

How will this happen without a vaccine and widespread testing?

If we didn't fully isolate, quarantine, develop a vaccine and implement a widespread testing plan, nothing.

DP - We ramped up hospitals with the tools they need and beds they need for the worst case scenario. So yea, we good now.

Trump is now tweeting that HE has the power to "reopen" the government.

A few problems with this.

1) He doesn't, according to the US Constitution
2) He didn't 'close" anything to thus re-open
3) His claim flies in the face of every "federalism" fiber in the GOP body
4) It simply isn't and won't be safe to "re-open" unless or until there is a vaccine or testing and tracing protocols in place.

Since I haven't see anything to indicate the Administration is preparing for #4, it is hard to understand the logic other than 'we don't care how many lives it takes to get the DOW back to 30,000."

The narrative will be Republicans trying to pin this on China and incompetent blue state officials.

DeBlazio told NYorkers to go about their lives on March THIRTEEN. He failed his people.

It's not just China's that was hiding the number of the dead when the smoke from it's crematoriums was seen from space, it's China's mouth peace Tedros, too. It was his words about the open borders in Europe been more important than the virus. It was that same Tedros who hid three cholera epidemics in Africa.

I think our national debt should be cancelled when all of it is over and Tedros should be removed ASAP.

#4 requires planning and hardwork (national infrastructure of testing, contact tracing and quarantine) which Trump refuses to do. He thinks being a used car sales man will just make the problem go away.

May want to read up a little on the national debt and how you can't just 'cancel' it. Yet another right wing talking point that is simply not feasible.

We added 2,407 deaths today, the highest ever. It probably has something to do with the slow reporting of the Easter holiday.

USA 613,886 +26,945 26,047 +2,407

And Trump still is not reacting and using the federal government to help the states. It's unbelievable.
