Yeah, but I wonder what Trump & Co will do as more and more very sick people start showing up at hospitals and more and more dead people start piling up because they weren’t properly diagnosed early enough to save them.
This is all a bunch of crap!

He’s polling around 68% disapproval of his handling of the pandemic. Do y’all think this is going to change that?

But Joe leads him nationally by a mere ten points. That means, while they disapprove of the handling of the pandemic, a fair number of those folks are still going to vote for him.

Not one word. Do not believe a word from these people.
On a more positive note, I have a neighbor who’s quite smart but not very educated and he’s unsophisticated about politics. We stay off the subject, mostly, but this came up and he agreed that the federal government is AWOL on this pandemic and it’s Trump’s fault. He can pretend to his idiot minions that his ban saved millions of lives and he’s done a very good job but people know. They know.

I don’t care if he only wins by 10 points - that’s enough.

P.S. Giroir is showing very strong symptoms of Trumpian Virus!

Actually my coworker was touting it today as a reason to reopen our office to the public.

Touting what? This announcement? Sure there are greedy people all over the country who want to open everything up right this minute. Some of them have decided they are running for office.
They are still the minority.

In response to criticism of the change from public health experts, who have said that asymptomatic testing is needed to predict outbreaks before they reach crisis levels, Giroir responded by saying that he advocated for “more asymptomatic testing in areas where its needed, and less in areas where its not needed.”
An analysis of the above statement provided by Giroir indicates that the statement is patently worthless.
CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta read out a statement from Fauci on Wednesday afternoon in which the longtime infectious disease doctor said that he was “under general anesthesia in the operating room last Thursday” and “was not part of any discussion or deliberation regarding these new testing recommendations.”
Furthermore, claiming that Fauci was involved on Thursday when he was “under the knife” during an outpatient procedure does little to enhance the veracity of Giroir’s already essentially worthless statement.
“I’m concerned about the interpretation of these recommendations,” Dr. Gupta read from Fauci’s statement on CNN. “I’m worried it will give people the incorrect assumption that asymptomatic spread is not of great concern. In fact, it is.”
Tell me, where do they find all these SOULLESS FUCKING IDIOTS who ignore science to appease a political miscreant at the cost of the general health of American citizens?
ETA: “soulless” above…because it is perfectly correct and appropriate if not still inadequate at expressing the depravity of the mofos that downplay the horror of the pandemic.

OT: Trump wants Biden to be drug tested before the debates because he’s obviously on something since he wasn’t an incoherent mess during the debate with Bernie.
No I’m not joking.

I’m really not worried about our voters. Our voters are passionately dedicated to voting this motherfucker out of office.

I think that nails it.
They’ve already telegraphed their next line: “The pandemic is past.”
They’ll push it for as long as they have arguable data and then some.
It’s a finding dictated by the needs of the campaign, not public health.

Yeah, he specifically said Fauci was involved but HEY Fauci was in SURGERY.
Just shut up, Adm. Giroir, if you can’t be IN the Administration and tell the truth about MY health.

Well, two things: It’s a very durable, solid lead. And the ruby-red states contribute to Trump’s national numbers obviously, but Trump’s in trouble this time in places he can’t afford to be.
