WHAT MAGIC?

Yesterday Trump commented on testing, making one of the more insane statements about how the Vice President’s press secretary, Katie Miller, someone who had been tested daily, and had tested negative, but now he couldn’t imagine why she had all of a sudden tested positive.  “She tested negative and for some reason, she is now positive!” he confounded. Like it was some kind of a mystery.  His comment was, “this is why we don’t need testing nationwide”.   WTF?

The stupidity in his statements are mind numbing.  It’s what happens when you don’t wear a mask, do not observe social distancing and work in close proximity sharing paperwork, and attending meetings in close quarters with a pandemic raging on the outside.  It’s like the President has a child’s hide and seek mindset, in that Trump thinks if he closes his eyes the pandemic is not there and will go away believing in magic.  Pretending it’s not there, it’s not an issue, and it will go away and this is totally in keeping with his alternate reality.  The reality is the equivalent of a 911 type event every few days and getting worse. Chief economic advisor Keven Hassett  said “it is scary to go to work” in the cramped west wing.  POTUS thinks if I don’t wear a mask and those around me don’t wear masks the virus does not exist.

The head of the CDC, the head of the FDA along with an associate, Medical advisor Dr. Fauci, and Official White House Ghoul Stephen Miller, are all under self-quarantine. The sources for the virus are the wife of Stephen Miller that tested positive, and the aide to the President.  Mike Pence is laying low due to contact with Ms. Miller.  This shows the fallacy of opening with having magic as their rationale.

If the White House, with daily testing, has a problem imagine how can ordinary workplaces, not having near the resources, even consider opening?  Can anyone be safe going back to work if even people in the White House, while being tested daily have a problem containing the virus, when no other workplace, except the hospital staff in some states, have the ability to test and contact trace like the White House.  Is anyone safe going back to work? POTUS likes Russia so much, he is willing to play Russian Roulette with the workforce.

Trump had 100 rage and hate tweets with touting conspiracy theories, attacks media, democrats, and attempts to tarnish hid perceived enemies, and other rants and  during the worst crisis in modern times. The sad thing is he keeps pushing to return to normalcy, ignoring his administration’s own guidelines.  He attempts to make the opening a Republican/Democratic thing.  This is another laser light show.  I guess this was his way to channel  his mother, on mothers’ day?

IS POTUS MAGIC FADING?

The magic is fading.  Korea and Germany have both seen a spike in cases, even though the lifting of sanctions was only last week.  This is a precursor to our dilemma, to open or not?  POTUS comments “one person coming in from China…the virus will magically go away in April” (the worst month for deaths and more than from the Viet Nam war, killing 55,000 people), in March he told Republicans there was nothing to worry about, touting unsafe drugs as magical remedies, such as ingesting disinfectants and UV light inside the body.

He still has not received the message on testing, testing, testing.  Test for the virus,  Isolate, contact trace, and antibody tests are the proven solution for containing the virus, yet this administration is encouraging the public to open without the resources to contain the virus.  Will the magic hold?

The heartland has yet to feel the full brunt of the pandemic.  This is also Trump country (rural America), which has the same attitude about the virus as Trump.  They may be hit hard in the next wave.

NEWS UPDATES

Another White House POTUS light show and blame game show is airing at 4pm. I wonder what BS he is going to spew about testing this time?  All of the trusted medical advisors are in self-quarantine, so what is the sage misinformation guru going to lie about today?

Update to the Maduro Venezuela invasion story, come to find out one of the only two Americans captured with the invasion force happened to be a former body guard of President Trump. Hmm? Trump, of course, denies any involvement.  The two stupid American former green beret soldiers had their military ID, and other forms of ID on them.  A covert operation no-no is to be able to be identified if captured. Duh!

One of the only U.S. manufacturer of N95 masks on January 22^nd asked Robert Kadlec the Asst. Sec of Health and Human Services (re: see prior scree), if he was interested in N95 masks.  Kadlec was told he could re-open his line and could produce 1.7 million masks/week, and Kadlec declined.  Weeks later the administration attempted to order masks from the same  supplier and was told the already have all the contracts they could handle and are shipping them overseas.
