Hey Trump! Anyone ever tell you youâre a fat, incompetent ass? Yeah⌠Iâm name calling.

With the prospect of this virus not being well contained, it would be beneficial to establish plans that reduce transmission and treat those affected. Admittedly, this would be a high risk area. Ahem, Iâm sure our health experts are right on this.

Dump is afraid that the epidemic is going to kill his election chances so heâs appealing to his âbaseâ. Is Joe going to respond by pointing to his friend Obamaâs family separation policy?
From the article:
âTrump is âmore concerned with his re-electionâ than public healthâŚâ
Twump has always been more concerned with his self-image than with anything, as any sentient being who came of age in the 1960s-70s in the New York metro area knows. Re-election is just another chance at external validation, without a constant stream of which he would dry up and blow away.

The presidentâs tweet demonstrated that Trump is âmore concerned with his re-electionâ than public health, tweeted former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance.
If that surprises you Joyce, it means you are woefully naive and uniformed!
The extent of the outbreak in USAmerica is deliberately suppressed, even though it means putting the outbreak on steroids stateside by withholding sufficient testing. One way to be sure of keeping the numbers down is to keep testing down. So we shouldnât even be talking about this 700 figure â or any others until testing becomes generally available. That much should be obvious, but itâs certainly indisputable.
To an ordinary human being, the thought of sheilding the touchy stock market by withholding tests, as long as possible, seems to be inconceivable madness, so itâs not commonly contemplated or discussed. Though it remains perfectly clear that suppressed testing is the crux of USAmericaâs peculiarly idiotic coronavirus response. What did Orangeman say about the Grand Princess? âI donât need the numbers from that boat.â
To this day, M$MBS colludes in the continuing scandal of unavailable tests, even to the extent of airing experts with the âoh wellâ opinion â We can save ourselves the trouble of testing now that everyone has it, presumably. Donât ever buy the lie that containment canât work. Why is intelligent containment possible elsewhere? China reported 19 new cases yesterday.
By the time coronavirus tests become adequately available, USAmerica will be number one: the most infected country on Earth. Welcome aboard the Diamond Princess.

If USAmerica indeed becomes the most infected country on Earth the ruling elite will see to it that martial law is imposed (Italy has de facto done so already) Thatâll take care of future elections for a while with the goal to deepen the implementation of a fascist stateâŚ

I disagree that Italy has imposed martial law (so far as I know). Thereâs a line going around that a âfree societyâ couldnât possibly impose cordon sanitaire measures to control an outbreak (as China has done, apparently with measured success).
Italy is doing what it needs to do, no more. They seem to be avoiding overreach characteristic of nefarious schemes to subvert civil government. (Correct me if Iâm wrong about that.) But youâre right USA goonsâll utilize this mess as an excuse for the coup swelling on the horizon.
China reported 13 new coronavirus cases yesterday. In terms of new cases the USA has already passed China.

Italy is one of European countries going the fascist way. Their politicians are calling the lockdown âdecreeâ which imo is just a more elegant way to avoid saying âmartial lawâ. And yes, I agree, it is a sensible thing to do considering Italyâs Coronavirus cases⌠if there wasnât the fascist agendaâŚ

Talk about superpowers! Micro-organisms can pack a hell of a punch. âThe world as we know it just endedâ Cat Brooks summed it up. All the nations of the world are dice shaken in a Yahtzee cup, and thereâs no telling how the throw goes.
My expectation is that 3/2020 will mark, for historians, the moment USA went over the edge and started plummeting to long-term basket-case status, like Russia. No longer âthe worldâs sole superpower.â Hardly a power. Domestically, matters are not promising. But what the hell â some of us might be clever enough to figure out how to jam the machine from time to time.

âI, President Donald J. Trump, am hereby naming Marvin the Martian as Chief Commander of the Space Force to ensure that Andromeda Strain does not return.â
â"Jesus Christ , America, what are you doing?â tweeted Business Insider correspondent Rob Price of a graphic showing the CDC is now administering only 5 tests per 1 million people."
It appears more and more everyday, that what we are doing, is as little as possible to ensure this virus gets out of control in this country, and kills many seniors. At this point itâs becoming harder and harder to believe this lack of response is to ensure Trumps re-election.

The key word there is âreportedâ; China does not have a history of transparency - more likely the true numbers are suppressed (on pain of prison) in an attempt to restart their economy.

With some clarity on the âweâ â state officials in California appear to be doing the best they can under the unconscionable constraint of lacking sufficient testing to implement containment (at the beginning, when itâs most important). For all I know, the government in Washington State is also doing their best. Should state governments have been preparing for CDC sabotage? Itâs hard to blame the poor old CDC, which got tossed on the trash-heap with FEMA, EPA, etc.
The rest of the world has been using an (apparently) perfectly good test, developed in Germany, distributed by WHO, banned by CDC!?! Thatâs a crime against humanity of historic proportions. Itâs also the end of USAmerica as we know it. Weâre all drowning in Grover Norquistâs bathtub now.
