What we can accept, based on what we see all around the world, is that with unified messaging from the top down, you can get citizens largely to follow a plan and have successes.

What we can accept is that when a POTUS counters his own health agencies advice and ridicules the plans and safety guidelines in favor of a rush to open, and he shows an open defiance of the rules they want people to follow (such as wearing a mask, not promoting or holding large gatherings) that people will rebel and do great harm to any attempts to get a unified effort.

Those are the things we can accept.

...plus, Trump freerolled us hard in May when he essentially said "it's up to each individual governor" ....then kept on message with "Open Up, Open Up, Open Up". Fortunately not a single sheep was convinced.....except some governors. Consequences.

Of Course not. But our data for hydroxychloroquine is even worse than anecdotal for that.

Yeah, unified messaging like: "Avoid large gatherings". "Massive protests are vital to the public health". With messaging gobbledegook like that no wonder the public isn't on board.

I'm gonna go ahead and need a citation on the bolded, young Joseph.

(Someone else should also quote or ask since joe claims to have me on ignore).

I really hope the Trump team keeps pushing the narrative that it is all protesters fault or a hoax or can be cured with zinc. Best marketing approach ever for the current world!

They are going to lose to LOLBiden. Just great, I hope they keep it up!

It was at least a genuine phrase from the open letter that was signed by healthcare professionals:

It is of course absurd to use what was essentially a political statement by private individuals as some sort of attempt at whataboutism in a reply to Cuepee talking about the importance of consistent messaging from government.

A group of 1200 public health professionals putting out a collective signed statement in the middle of a health crisis is not what I would call private individuals.

joe,

How do you feel about Trump blasting his own White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator because she declined to paint the pandemic as the rosy picture he desires? This does not trouble you?

Joe is already on the record insisting that Trump's only failing w.r.t. the pandemic is strictly relying on bad advice from Birx and Fauci even in the face of him openly defying their advice for all to see, and in the face of him denying that he is strictly following their advice.

He can't even throw a baseball lol

Biden winning would be wildly entertaining.

He's 80

Anyone who thinks Trump is smarter than the experts should let him perform surgery on them.

That wasn't why he blasted her.

You don't understand bro. Trump is not a doer, he is a thinker.

They need to cut to the Curb music and roll credits right after he says 'why can't I do that?'

"Blasts"

A reporter needs to ask the elephant in the room question and really nail Trump.


Reporter : Mr President, you have stated that if we had less tests we would have less cases, correct?

Trump : Yes

Reporter : And less cases is a positive to society correct

Trump : Yes

Reporter : you, at the White HOuse are arguably in the most tested environment in the World. And we have seen so far many instances where people in your sphere have been tested and found to have Covid, and they have been isolated away from you and White House. Is that correct?

Trump : Yes

Reporter : So it your view that your staff in the White House is actively working against you and trying to get you exposed to Covid? Would you not have had 'less cases' and thus 'less risk to you personally' if they tested less?

Reporter : Would you want the WH to test less and thus cause less cases and thus keep you safer?

I think I figured out Joe. Trump the brain surgeon.

So Thursdays the day 5 million. Wonder if it was quicker than the last million. I think that was 14 days

News story. lol what the **** are they doing? I thought they were opening schools pretending everything is normal because they're just going for herd immunity, or they idiotically thought children couldn't get sick or something. Do these idiots seriously think they're going to have a normal school year while sending classrooms home every time a kid tests positive?

loooooooool

We are going to see this a lot.

To be fair to School Boards and Teachers, who are under immense pressure in many jurisdictions to 'open up', I think you will see them say 'fine, we will open' but upon the first sign of any cases they will default to the guidelines issued (that those in power are telling them to ignore to open) and use that to close back down.



I think we all know how this would go down. Just as Trump demands States open but then blames them saying 'they did not follow the guidelines' if things go bad, so too would those Politicians pressuring Schools to open default to blaming the Boards and specific schools if things go bad there. 'Oh they had the guidelines, they just did not follow them. Don't blame us'.

So as the risk moves from 'theoretical' to 'identified' in the schools, they will close and force the Politicians to push them to re-open with a now 'identified' threat, in hand.

You can't open schools when the virus is still raging out of control.
This administration and the Republican party in general defies all logic.
