COVID-19

As predicted places are seeing increases in civil unrest and crime around the world. People that live day to day and shop daily for food are being pushed to the brink. We are on a razors edge if we don’t get our hands wrapped around this. How long can we hold our breath?

Watching the reporters wait for the briefing and many of them just can't resist rubbing thier nose or mouth after touching something.  One guy will touch the back of a chair then another will touch the same chair and the second will sit down and rub his nose or cheek.  You can watch these guys and see how the virus gets passed.  They're like little psych experiments.

Bill Barr is back...  no doctors and a lot of military.  Very different.

This is a WTF briefing.  Must-watch.

Trump is changing the topic entirely.  Very strange.  Counter-narcotics.

Really looks like purposeful distraction.  Not good.

Trump even has the military thanking him for his leadership before they speak.  Sad.

Barr is up, thanks and grovels before starting...  So, apparently, we are going to war with the Mexican cartels.  Why now?

Ambassador ??? sucks up and thanks before speaking.  Embarrassing.

Trump realizes that there won't be visible progress against COVID-19 for months so he is starting a new visible "effort" against another enemy.  The first question from a reporter is "what has changed" since this has been going on for decades.  Rambling answers.

Even Barr is having problems keeping a straight face as Trump talks.  Laugh/cry?  Who knows.

My apologies, I didn't intend to write anything.  Just have to describe what I'm seeing, it's astounding.

Trump made an order of PPE from Walmart and directed how to ship it.  Really.

Lots of talk about "The Wall".  People can't get past it, they have to go around the edges.

Trump reveals that he is #1 on Facebook.

Yeah, the Navy guy answered a question about the Roosevelt without thanking or groveling at all.  Just walked up and gave a straight answer then stepped back.

The first part is over, the military, Barr and Esper leave.  Trump speaks some more.  The COVID-19 group comes in.  Same old, name-dropping Walmart and Haynes.  "Nobody's ever seen before" is on repeat.

Back to classic Trump, rambling odd statements.  Copying Cuomo and reading what Pence wrote, interspersed with his own bizarre phrases.  

No experts, just directly to questions.

Trump answers a question about staying at home, nation-wide, and shows that he doesn't understand how the virus spreads.

Incredible.  Pence obviously does not understand "copays" in insurance.  He thinks that the copay is a significant part of the overall cost of treatment.  "The government will covering all copays for treatment".  BFD, that's nothing.

An earlier question to Trump about undocumented immigrants got the basic answer of "too bad, they're illegal".  So they will get sick and spread the disease to everyone, legal or not.

Another question to Pence about people without insurance got a bunch of BS from Pence about how the insurance companies are stepping up... for people that have insurance.  He either doesn't get it or he's just BS'ing.  Big failure in addressing how to stop the virus spread through people who don't get treatment.  It's a lot of people.

Now Pence is talking about transferring all test responsibility to the States.

The end game seems to be to transfer all pandemic responsibility to the individual States.  Typical for normal times, but these times aren't normal.

Trump pretends to care about religion, and the fact that church groups can't meet.  Although some do anyway.

 

The new normal is going to be slow progress from the administration, daily death reports, and a focus on the new "counter-narcotics" war.
