Everyone I know IRL is happy with the job he's doing. I have a feeling the same 5 or 6 malcontents keep posting about him here and shouted him down at his press conference. They looked like douche bags.[/quote]

There is a vocal minority on DCUM that is pro-opening at all costs.

They are the ones pretending nursing homes aren't part of the community and therefore should not factor into reopening data, conveniently ignoring the fact that nursing home employees (and those of prisons and all group homes) live in the community and have families too.

Some European health experts fear that the rising U.S. caseloads are rooted in a White House response that has at times deviated from the conclusions of leading scientists.
“Many scientists appeared to have reached an adequate assessment of the situation early on [in the United States], but this didn’t translate into a political action plan,” said Thomas Gerlinger, a professor of health sciences at the University of Bielefeld in Germany.
