If he stops being an ####### on Twitter and can get an unfiltered message to the people, I agree that he would cruise to re-election.

 

A lot harder than it looks, though

is it legal for a state to close it's borders?


I’m old enough to remember a time when we were told that profiling was bad.

..probably a dumb question...but how can Trump bar travelers at the Federal level whereas states like Rhode Island cannot enact travel restrictions from NYS people?.....

U.S. COVID-19 DEATH RATE REMAINS LOW

Brian Sullivan has updated his chart that shows per capita Wuhan virus death rates for various countries. He writes:

The total number of Wuhan virus cases in the US surpassed the total in any other country yesterday. It is no surprise the media and their Democratic allies are using this data to cudgel the White House and mislead Americans. But, anyone with fifth grade math (which apparently excludes most of the media) knows how irrelevant and misleading such a comparison is.

 

As we have pointed out, the only way to compare the status of the pandemic across countries is to analyze the number of deaths and cases on a per capita basis. The number of deaths per capita is most important, but per capita case rates provide a leading indicator that is also important to watch.

 

Despite what the media would like everyone to believe, this past week continues to bring good news for Americans. The number of per capita deaths reported in the United States remains amongst the lowest in the world. As of today, the US has recorded 5 deaths per million from the Wuhan virus, one-fifth of the total in Western European countries as a whole. Only Germany and Norway are recording lower deaths per capita, and that is only by a small fraction.

 

One issue with the case numbers is that they largely reflect the amount of testing that has been done. Brian continues:

With the significant ramp in US testing (526,000 tests were run this past week), it is also reasonable to start comparing relative per capita case rates across countries.

...medical folks and first responders on the front lines show unparalleled commitment to the COVID-19 outbreak.....scary occurrence for one of my employees though...her cousin, an RN here in Rochester, drew blood from the 1st suspected COVID-19 patient at her hospital....went to a drive-thru testing site......wind blew over a PPE collecton bin and someone came out in scrubs only (NO PPE or gloves) to pick up items.....RN reported it to Health Dept who said, "guess we have a ton of work to do for training".....heart precluded personal protections.......

Cuomo is all over the place with one minute praising the feds, the next minute blaming them. ?‍♂️

At least he filled out the FEMA forms to ask for help, unlike the Michigan governor.
 

 

Haaha! She does not seem to comprehend that she is in charge of her state and has full power to implement what she needs to for the situation in Michigan and then request assistance from the federal government.  Honestly, people like her should not be in a position of authority if they need their hands held over every little decision.

What is really sad, is she's been talked about as Biden's running mate.

President Trump is considering quarantining the whole of New York, Connecticut and New Jersey in desperate efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

The move will restrict travel to and from the three states.   

'We'd like to see New York quarantined because it's a hotspot — New York, New Jersey, maybe one or two other places, certain parts of Connecticut quarantined. I'm thinking about that right now,' he said Saturday.

'We might not have to do it but there's a possibility that sometime today we'll do a quarantine — short term two weeks for New York, probably New Jersey and parts o Connecticut.'

 

Agree with president Trump

Want to be mad? Want to see how badly the WHO is corrupted by the CCP? 
 

Watch the video and then remember this is the same guy who was held up as a paragon of virtue and a reliable source of information for weeks — until people started realizing the WHO is full of CCP shite.
