Compare and contrast to just how the current White House has handled news of a possible oncoming pandemic.

Sen. Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat, says that Trump administration officials declined an offer of early congressional funding assistance that he and other senators made on Feb. 5 during a meeting to discuss the coronavirus.

The officials, including Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, said they “didn’t need emergency funding, that they would be able to handle it within existing appropriations,” Murphy recalled in an interview with Yahoo News’ “Skullduggery” podcast.

“What an awful, horrible catastrophic mistake that was,” Murphy said.
On Feb. 5, Murphy tweeted: “Just left the Administration briefing on Coronavirus. Bottom line: they aren't taking this seriously enough. Notably, no request for ANY emergency funding, which is a big mistake. Local health systems need supplies, training, screening staff etc. And they need it now.”

Why are you wasting time of a college hockey website? Please hustle down to DC, NYC, New Orleans, etc. where your knowledge can make a difference.

There's no doubt that after re-reading it a few times, I didn't phrase that in the best possible way :D. My meaning was that, as a true layman in regards to this specific issue -- i.e., having no specific schooling or training in infectious disease, epidemiology, or mitigation strategies -- I know what I have read, along with interviews I have listened to or watched. Since early January when I first read about the virus, I can honestly say that I've read a combination of over 100 different articles, studies, and scientific papers. And, I doubt that the average American would have the time to spend doing what I have done. I have a unique job and, after March 12th, my job was done until next September (hopefully, it will start back up then). So, since that date, along with all of the reading, I've literally had a cable news broadcast on from 7am til midnight, as well as listening to talk radio if I wasn't actively reading. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to walk the comment back that much. Unfortunately, it obviously came across far more arrogant than I wanted or, than I believe I actually am in my daily life. But, I'm also confident about the knowledge I've attained about the various aspects of the virus and the crisis it has created.

I made a typographical error here. I meant to write "wasting time on a college hockey website". Big difference.

Deflect, deflect, deflect...that's what they are really good at. It's a well known fact that Trump spends very little time reading his daily briefs if he reads them at all. This job is a major time commitment and he doesn't have the interest, or intellect (if I'm being honest) to really care about particulars. So in that propaganda vid he had the NERVE to post before the 'corona task force briefing' (which, I didn't watch but saw the clips; I just can't watch...I say STFUP so much I can't hear it anyway :mad: ) it's noted that FEBRUARY is non existent/glossed over? (It's a question...). Those are my, your tax dollars at work folks; it ought to pizzz you off. I just say...'if Obama...'. Gawd, make it stop....
 
Re: COVID-19 - Part 2

The fact of the matter is your tax dollars are not at work under Republicans. Quite the opposite. Your tax dollars are ****ed down a drain with every power move they make. And you'll never get any of those dollars back.

Wrong. Your tax dollars are laundered back to the 1% and big corp., and the scumbags who have made a full-time career out of grifting the government.

Shocked :eek: … but hey, kudos for including the Clintons and the Bidens in your latest rant.

And now, courtesy of your pals from Radio Free Café … the first installment of a new feature we'll simply call "Fun Stuff Your Thought Leaders and The MSM Won't Let You See" ...

Re: COVID-19 - Part 2

Fauci directly contradicts the Diversion General.

Meanwhile, this is real leadership:

The details of the coronavirus outbreak on the USS Theodore Roosevelt continue to unravel. On March 30, Capt. Brett Crozier wrote to senior Navy officials about the deadly coronavirus outbreak aboard the nuclear aircraft carrier. The virus was quickly spreading amongst the crew of nearly 5,000 sailors.

According to The New York Times, by the time Capt. Crozier penned the letter, eight sailors had already been evacuated to Guam because of the severity of their COVID-19 symptoms. In fact, one as-of-yet unidentified sailor who tested positive on the very day Capt. Crozier sent that letter passed away this Monday.

That now infamous letter was leaked to The San Francisco Chronicle, which set off a chain reaction. First, Capt. Crozier was almost immediately relieved of duty on the carrier. Video of his send-off went viral as sailors could be heard cheering him and chanting his name. Next, acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly personally flew to the USS Roosevelt to address the sailors, at a cost of $243,000 to U.S. taxpayers. Modly created even more outrage when he told the crew the revered captain was “naive” or “stupid.” That sunk like a lead balloon—in leaked audio of the address, sailors shouted back at him in disgust, with one even yelling “What the ****!” When that audio leaked, the writing was on the wall and it was crystal clear Modly did not have the confidence of the sailors he was entrusted to lead, nor did he have the confidence of the public at large. Modly resigned within hours.

Former naval officials and members of both the House and the Senate have called for an investigation into Crozier’s dismissal. The Navy has promised details on their internal investigation soon.

But there was another detail in the New York Times report that hasn’t gotten very much attention. Not only did Capt. Crozier risk his own career—he protected the senior officers below him. They asked to sign on to the now infamous letter, and he refused.

Crozier is a man who takes responsibility and thinks of others first, values with which no Republican in the last 25 years has the slightest acquaintance.

The good news out of the presser tonight is that the President is suspending funding to the WHO.
