I’m… not sure Ms Oakley is an unbiased source.

Since the WHO officials didn’t communicate by the administration’s preferred means—Waving large guns and confederate flags on fox news—the calls were never received.

There’s a perfectly logical explanation for Trump’s lack of response…he mistook these officials for human scum.

However, Oakley argued that such assistance “does not change the information you are getting from WHO leadership”

No, Caitlin, it doesn’t change the information you are getting from WHO, but it damned sure ought to help you read between the lines. It also gives you information about how the leadership is filtering information, and that’s pretty damned useful, too.

Have I mentioned yet today how much I hate these people?

Over Dozen US Officials Working At WHO

Well, right there is the problem. US Government Officials, deep state of course, why should The Dumpster listen to them. Of course, if one of them was holding a bag of cash, it would have been different, that person would have been knowledgable.

There are so many ‘Bin Laden Determined to Strike U.S.’ moments here…
I don’t see how they wriggle out of it, even with control of the senate (for now.)

You know, I really, really, really want this, down in my lizard brain where I want vengeance and recompense for the four years of my life lost to these assholes.

But…but…I know and believe that what goes around, comes around again.

I will settle for a truth and reconciliation commission that reveals the depths of these people’s treachery and depravity, combined with a complete social shunning of every last one of them.

“The White House did not respond to request for comment at the time of writing.”

That’s because they haven’t figured out what their first lie will be yet, or the Plan B lie, or the lie to lie about the lie. Or whether to loop back around and tell the first lie again.

Trump must be consulting with Hannity, Lush Scumball, Faux & Friends, and other intellectual, highly thought of experts on everything.

I want them in jail, too. But I don’t want them in jail at the price of criminal prosecutions following every change of party, and I believe that would be the cost. Worse still, criminal prosecutions run properly create room for an acquital. That would be worse than just letting them go.

We start the day at 772k corona virus cases and 41,192 fatalities. Add in data from the VA and estimates from long term care facilities and we’re looking at about 48,000 deaths and closer to 830,000 cases.

At this rate, if the average fatalities per day is 1500, we’ll hit 60,000 fatalities in about 12 days. However, I do think there will be adjustments to add in long-term care facility counts and more excess fatalities from other states, which means the true death toll is probably already closer to this target. We may see more updates this week like the one NYC added last week.
