Unfortunately, this fake political information has not been corroborated by multiple Republican sources, so it will NOT be included in any future Presidential briefings, or factor into any type of national plan.
Insincerely yours,
The White House

Dr. Paul Biddinger, director of emergency preparedness for Mass General Hospital and head of the emergency preparedness program at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of public health, told TPM that “it’s basically impossible to tell the difference between COVID and flu without a test.”
Well, there’s that pesky “testing” thing cropping up again. It certainly seems to be important. Remind me what it is that our leader said about it?
Oh … right. Never mind.

The world isn’t going to stop while the pandemic grinds through. Hurricanes, wild fires, floods, Republicans, and earthquakes still contribute their share of chaos to life.

“COVID And Flu Season Are Set To Collide, Experts Fear ‘Disaster’.”
Whoever keeps saying “It could be worse!” needs to STFU.

A much bigger problem than the Coronavirus and flu viruses colliding this fall and winter is that they’ll be colliding with Trump through mid January.
It’ll be interesting to see if a greater or fewer number of people get the flu vaccine this year knowing that Trump, inexplicably, may well denigrate the idea.

Have you had that twitching checked out lately?

Ha! No twitching but had some night terrors when my allergies flared up in May.

Has there been any actual sign of a peak anywhere? This mystical peak is taken as a given. The only peak and subsidence seen is from actual mitigation efforts.

This is turning out to be a pretty serious hoax. But then so is global warming. What can I do, personally, to prevent G. Soros from launching something else?

Hm. I wonder who Chancellor Merkel is speaking to here.

Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel: “You cannot fight the pandemic with lies and disinformation any more than you can fight it with hate or incitement of hatred. The limits of populism and denial of basic truths are being laid bare.”

Trump and the Germ-Over-People Party are Making Covid Great Again way before the flu season with their “Reopen America - KAG (Kill American Geriatrics) for Wallstreet” + “Reopen Schools” + superspreading Trump Virus during rallies!
Trump/GOP DO NOT give an effing s**t about your grandma & grandpa and also your children!
From now on, I do not want to hear from hypocrite gophers that they are pro-life!
Trumpism kills Americans!
ICYMI:
Addendum:
What is with Trump and briefs - PDB or Health Briefing with Dr. Fauci?
Trump is not doing his job again
AND
Americans DIE needlessly (Via trumpdeathclock.com)!
Addendum:
Not content to be the superspreader during his rallies, Trump will hold an in-person fundraiser in his new home state!
Two weeks later…how many rich RethugniCONS will be infected with Covid?
Silver lining…Trump is NOT a church goer, otherwise…Covid infections galore!

Same here, my wife and I still look at each other with great suspicion when we sneeze, thankfully, just seasonal allergies (so far).

Well, well, well. Apparently SCOTUS decisions have immediate consequences. I take this is good news.

NEW: A federal judge in NY – acting quickly on his own and without being asked by either side – has ordered attorneys for President Trump and Manhattan D.A. Cy Vance to inform the court by next Wednesday morning how they expect to proceed with the subpoena for Trump’s tax docs.
MORE: Judge Victor Marrero who has already ruled that the tax documents from Mazars USA should be handed over through the Grand Jury, a ruling that prompted the Supreme Court fight, is asking the parties to detail “potential areas for further argument.”

Fuck that. The ruling is in. Why the tax returns aren’t already in the prosecutor’s hands is bullshit.
