Methinks Trump is not happy with WHO. Trump: I am a cheerleader for this country. (And, he should be.)

1, 2, 5 I love sponge candy. Mmmmm Bison Chip Dip is Hubby's addiction. I don't touch it because I cannot be reasonable about it. Yum!

He is asking Congress for $250B more money for the Paycheck Protection Program. Beating on the WHO now.

From today's presser: SBA has processed more than $70B in loans. He is asking Congress for $250B more money for the Paycheck Protection Program.

1,870,000 test have preformed today. Abbot labs 5 minute tests in Georgia (I think he said). SBA has processed more than $70B in loans.

Total of 110K ventilators coming by the end of June (for the future, and for other countries). Bringing back medical companies to this country. (He's said this for a while.)

He had a call with the banks (that was televised) earlier today about the SBA loans (grants). I wonder if there will be questions about that?

He was reassigned, but relieved of command, not removed from the Navy.

LOL The first half of that interview was out there - I did laugh though. And they are attacking him for saying that now is not the time to crap on Trump, and we need to come together as a nation. It is incredible what the hyena pack of TDS afflicted will B word about.

This has been one of the stupidest "get Trump" talking points yet (and that is really saying something!) A generic, off-patent drug is the opposite of a money maker. And, I wouldn't be shocked if that was why the hard push against hydroxychloroquine + zinc. Not a money maker. The screechers appear to be valuing money (long-term testing for a $2,000 drug), over lives (a readily available 50¢ drug).

This is interesting.

Something is afoot. Stephanie Grisham went back to being Melania's COS today. The article is from yesterday. DOJ rejects CNN analyst's claim in fight over White House press room access DOJ puts White House Correspondents' Association on notice that press room is government property and only tradition gives group power to determine access. </snip> “The press Briefing Room is White House property," and Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham "merely acquiesced" to WHCA's seating arrangements for reporters during the pandemic, the department's letter stated. </snip>

Note: she went back to being Melania's COS.

Part of the "cure" being worse than the disease, and it sucks.

That was the loophole that Lindsey wanted closed.

Nice title. Apparently, the country that came before the US was the Marshall Islands. </snip> The earliest action was taken by Singapore on Jan. 23, canceling all flights from Wuhan, but the first country to impose a travel ban was the Marshall Islands on Jan. 24. It was tougher than the eventual U.S. action: No one could enter the country less than 14 days after visiting China, not even citizens. </snip> The article also says Italy and Australia banned travel from China the same day as the US, but what it does not say was it was after the US did it. MARSHALL ISLANDS imposed an entry ban on anyone from China or who has transited through China, requiring that those individuals spend at least fourteen days in a country not affected by the coronavirus prior to arriving in the Marshall Islands, effective January 24 If accurate, this would be a great source for travel restrictions. Everyone else followed the US travel ban (recall the gasp heard 'round the world?)

Ah China, the gift that keeps on giving:

Lawyer-ing 101. It also helps when you are in marketing and in business. ?

I think during the postmortem of this there will be a lot to be learned. The political tug-of-war afterward for "how to," funding, what went right, what went wrong, will make the last 3 years look like child's play. And, it will not just be politicians - lobbyists, scientists, medical doctors, R&D labs, pharmaceutical corporations, are all going to want a seat at the table. Money, money, money... public health concerns will be secondary. (I really hope I am wrong about the last, I doubt I am.)

and ?

They keep reiterating that this week is going to be very bad. Dr. Brix is up now, and she is pointing out some micro-outbreaks in different states (VT, Montana, etc). CDC.gov/coronavirus The daily numbers where it is. They are doing more with this system for early alerts in the future.

Pence: 2179 medical military personal in NYC. By next week that will be 3,000. (They will continue to arrive...) Pence broke down where the 500 ventilators from California are going (he just learned the breakdown, and 50 are going to Guam!).

Giroir talking about the antibody tests. They want to make sure they actually work. They are hopeful to having working tests (tests that actually work) by May. (He's saying this is how America opens back up... ummmm )

One of the reasons I do these press conferences is so they don't believe the fake new... Uuuuut ohhhhh OAN asking about Latin America drug dealing. Trump "we are hitting them hard." (No wonder the rest of the press wants her gone.) Trump also bringing up human trafficking. ha! The Democrats want open borders. These people may be sick, may be criminals, want sanctuary cities that protect criminals.
