“But my office, long before COVID-19, has been talking about health equity, has been talking about the need to help people understand when they’re at risk and to actually intervene…"

Which office might that be: Governor Pence’s or Trump’s? Another issue not mentioned is the reluctance of men of color to wear “homemade” scarves and bandannas over their faces; wonder why?

The virus kills mainly people who have health issues and the elderly with a higher death rate among blacks.
Not going there.

Wow… it makes you wonder when it turns out that Peter Navarro was the most competent and farsighted guy in the WH. And still got ignored. He should have resigned, but who else will hire him.

I’m beginning to seriously question how “random act of nature” this is. It’s just too fucking “perfect.”

Well, looks like the White House “Covid-19 Fencing Operation” has taken a hit.


“Until further notice, all personnel in the Supply Chain Resilience task force” on a particular floor of one of FEMA’s buildings “and the FEMA Conference Center are required to telework,” according to an email obtained by NBC News and confirmed by a FEMA official. The message was sent to FEMA headquarters staff at 11:17 p.m. ET Monday.

ETA. Wonder if Jared was exposed?

For any black Americans who voted for Trump because “What have you got to lose”, here’s your answer.

I read a profile about Adams a few weeks ago. Apparently he did nudge Pence to do the needle exchange in those Indiana counties. As awful as this administration is I’ll try to hold out some hope that as a medical professional he has some sanity.

Regardless of his military rank, that tells us everything we need to know.

Trump/GOP KKKult refusal to assist is working as intended.

Tells you everything you need to know about how this is being fucked up at all levels of management in the government…

Sure, let’s wait until the whole office gets exposed before telling everyone to telework… When, clearly, if they can telework now, nothing stopped them from doing so before someone came up positive.
