Right. You know… Like if you want to open up schools or something but the numbers need to be going down?
Nobody would be that dishonest, right?

It seems all that the not-admirable Admiral ever does is tell us what can’t be done, or what won’t help, or what’s (allegedly) not necessary.
We know that COVID-positive individuals may never show obvious symptoms, but can still transmit virus to others. Still the federal government has:
- inadequate contact tracing
- inadequate testing (big time)
- weak guidance on social distancing and mask wearing
- total failure on provision of PPE
- a pathological aversion to shutdown of anything
The first four items would have been relatively painless to implement, and failure to do so has arguably cost 150,000 lives (South Korea, at approximately 1/6 the population of the US, has only 312 deaths and fewer than 20,000 positive cases so far).
Giroir, Redfield, Birx and Hahn should all be ashamed of themselves.

Fuck all of you motherfuckers in the HHS and the CDC and every other fucking agency that has failed the people because you all bowed down to the great orange imposter.
Fuck all of you.

Yes, keep hammering that every state that has a D Senator has someone fighting this kind of corruption, and every state with an R Senator someone who is busy shrugging their shoulders at crimes and hoping you don’t care enough about your country to vote them out.

“Conceptually?” Please, someone tell me, what does this mean? I don’t speak stupid.

First do no harm?
The most dangerous people in Trump’s Pandemic are the asymptomatic carriers. In order to be such a person you have to be exposed to some one who has Covid. So where might you find such people in greater concentrations? Why among people who are known to have been exposed to people with Covid. You need to wait the 4 to 6 days to allow the disease to reach the point where it can be detected.
The proper directive would be to tell everybody known to have been in contact with someone with Covid to quarantine for 6 days and then get test even if symptoms have not developed. Any one with symptoms should get tested immediately (they might have got the disease elsewhere) and then again if they tested negative 6 days after the known exposure. This would catch more of the asymptomatic spreaders.
Admiral Giroir has blood on his hands. ETTD
180,000.

How many time have you heard from the Dipshit’s own mouth that, “We test too much.”

And DeJoy testified that, conceptually, his operational changes at the USPS should have sped up delivery.

Hey Admiral, riddle me this: How do you find an asymptomatic spreader without testing?

If we didn’t test we wouldn’t have any cases. Q.E.D. says the Orange Monster.

Seems more likely the White House will SAY they’re walking it back but nothing will actually change. That way Fox can say both are true: “no pressure” and “Trump is in command of everything.”

Oh, well, then that…what the fuck??!! Who taught these buffoons the word ‘conceptual’??

It sort of makes one wonder if the people working in the Trump maladministration realize how much their competence and qualifications are being compromised by following the directions of this idiot-in-chief? But I guess this assumes that any of these loyal minions have any competence or qualifications to begin with.

But of course all the flunkies at the CDC prefer to keep their jobs instead of blowing the whistle at this blatant undermining of public health.
This is why we have Trump, because we are a nation of cowards.

Yeah, cause whistleblowing has worked so well before. Somebody leaked this.

This and the idiotic idea that “I’m just doing my job” is excuse enough for anything. A job is nothing (or should be) compared to one’s sense of morality.

Why is Giroir taking the public lead on this? I know HHS is the umbrella agency, but where is Redfield, the CDC director?
I would expect him to be the public face of this change and he hasn’t been on camera lately. Has he been sidelined, hiding in the bunker with Birx?
