What I would like, and I don't think it's too much to ask, is a competent and honest leader with a plan to get the country through a tough time. I'm critiquing the job that's being done as opposed to hypothesizing about how someone else might do it. Oh brother. Must be nice to sit on the sideline and criticize the people actually doing the heavy lifting. Do us all a favor and pick up a shovel so we can start coming out of this hole.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 1 hour ago, Magox said: Was it disbanded? Not that it would have mattered anyway. It's not as if what a bureaucrat would have recommended would have superseded Fauci's or the CDC's view on the matter. If you read that Fact check from the WAPO, Obama essentially did the same and dissolved it in 2009 to only reinstate back in 2016. This is a red herring argument. If the Media was going to be an honest entity (which they won't), they would press Fauci on his apparently contradictory comments. I'm hoping Trump doesn't do anything stupid and allows him to clarify in today's briefer. …..so now Fauci says if Trump acted sooner, lives could have been saved...…..how come Big Fredo gets a pass where 50% of the US deaths have occurred?...…..what's up Doc??... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, the President can certainly consult and advise Governors, States, and Municipalities, but I think it should be up to them how to navigate this crisis. If that doesn't work and the country needs a central authority to direct all actions of the states, then the Congress should propose an amendment, pass it, let the states vote on it, and see what happens. We can't just adhere to the Constitution when it's convenient. In fact, when it's the least convenient is when it's most important to adhere to it.

B-Man Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 More Fauci Remarks in March Blow Away Suggestion He Was Recommending Shutting Things Down in February I'll throw this here also........... NIH IN 2005: “Chloroquine, a relatively safe, effective and cheap drug used for treating many human diseases including malaria, amoebiosis and human immunodeficiency virus is effective in inhibiting the infection and spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. The fact that the drug has significant inhibitory antiviral effect when the susceptible cells were treated either prior to or after infection suggests a possible prophylactic and therapeutic use.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 34 minutes ago, Nanker said: Not sure what you’re getting at, but recently I’ve been exposed to some anti-vaxer conspiracy theories about 5G networks. I briefly touched on this a few days ago with Foxx. Most of this is conspiratorial bull####. 5G is simply the next generation wireless technology, not too much different than moving from 1G - 2G - 3G and 4G over the last two decades. Most 5G service will be on the same/similar frequencies that current cellphones have been operating on since the '80s. The new concern however should be on the fixed wireless aspect of 5G which uses millimeter wave frequencies, which are a bit more dangerous to the human body. But, the deployment of 5G to date has zero correlation to where Wuhan virus was out of control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am saying that within the authority to regulate interstate commerce is the only authority I see that the government should be exercising with regards to the pandemic.
