"… President Trump’s response, which will now be the model for all future pandemics.”

Oh, dear gods, let’s hope not.

Oh, it will be a model for all future pandemics - a model of what NOT to do…

Just when you thought this couldn’t get any more surreal. I mean, who wouldn’t want to plagiarize Trump? He’s always so clever with his words and ideas.

“Unable to articulate a coronavirus plan, both Bernie and Biden offered little more than plagiarizing President Trump’s response, which will now be the model for all future pandemics.”

He’s trying to make me die laughing, isn’t he?

Which isn’t a bad impulse, I suppose, but in fact I didn’t need the help.

Well, we can take comfort that on the front side of future pandemics a President will be expected to label them a hoax and be in denial for awhile.

If Trump’s current approach is correct then yes the administration wants the major voices from the other party repeating the instructions to hunker down. In the last few days after months of screwing around, somebody, some bunch of somebodies, seem to have gotten through to some of the people in the WH. at least a little bit. Brad Parscale just proves they haven’t broken through compeletly.

This “dear leader” worship from the Trump loyalists is more than a little creepy.

What? They said have no response pre planned or special pandemic response team pre picked out and when it happens do nothing for several weeks if not months then finally make a speech that you have to correct the very next day and then announce a completely new plan a few days later…wow that’s brilliant…tricky bastards!

Hello circuit breaker
This is why tthousands of people will die needlessly for purely political reasons, led astray by the pied pipers of conservative infotainment and cynical politicians more interested in managing the business cycle than saving lives.

Right, but Parscale did not randomly happen upon the verb “plagiarize.”

It’s his attempt to put Biden (in particular) on the defensive – but, as you say, it’s ludicrous in this case.

Where is the outrage over Trump attempting to take exclusive possession of a vaccine for this problem, seemingly holding it back from other nations should a firm he has allegedly tried to acquire complete development and trials? This looks like a profit making shakedown in the making. The House should immediately investigate all the people investing in CureVac and their relationship to Trump and others in his administration. There is EVERY reason to believe Trump is up to something nefarious in all this.

President Donald Trump reportedly offered a “large sum of money” to a German pharmaceutical firm for exclusive rights to a coronavirus vaccine — and social media users were outraged.

The German newspaper Welt am Sonntag cited an anonymous German government official who said the Trump administration offered CureVac $1 billion to grant exclusive rights to the U.S. for a potential COVID-19 vaccine.

That’s nice to know
They were going to die anyway
When the hospitals get overwhelmed and respirators are in short supply it will make triage that much easier
They were old

Are you saying that the virus is a blessing in disguise, a fucking boomer remover?

You might not have read the part where the Italian doctors have been deciding who should die and who should live by allocating respirators/ventilators? Their system was overwhelmed. This preliminary report is trying to cover some Italian politician’s ass.
