President Donald Trump managed to shoehorn one of his top political objectives into the government’s efforts to combat COVID-19 late Monday night, announcing that he would issue a ban on immigration as a response to the outbreak.
Who will tell him that the killer is already inside the house?
Huh. And here I thought we were past the worst and ready to reopen America…
Reality check - We are already the most infected country in the world. Maybe he should have done something when we had the opportunity to combat the virus.
Any excuse to keep Amerika, Amerika. Keep those damn foreigners out, nothing to do with the virus.
When this is over, I want Stephen Miller on trial.
Yet we have Liberate Minnesota etc to spread the virus without the help of immigrants.
Just saw this on the Worldometer site for Covid.
NOTES:
In accordance with new CDC guidelines :
Most state reports and dashboards (such as Texas, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Missouri, etc.) lag behind or show incomplete data with respect to the data shown by individual counties on their official websites and dashboards, which is what we collecte and aggregate when possible to show the most updated and accurate number in the table below. We will soon publish state-level pages with graphs and the breakdown by county.
Dead-eyed Don. He’s collapsing inside.
His eyes are like Stephen Baldwin, or any number of those other characters. They can’t see anything that is outside of themselves.
It’s like the current has stopped at the lens.
Now that Trump’s golf pal John “Shoepuke” Daly’s on board, you really can’t criticize trump.
But he did more than anyone else, everyone knows that. Other countries are envious of all that he has accomplished! Aren’t you paying attention? Not only has he done more he did it faster!
And Norquist drowned in a bathtub.
This ‘shot’ is supposedly different than the other bans, because it’s a ‘temporary’ EO.
I’m just waiting DOJ to explain how this ban is different from the initial one.
Trump as Ralph Waldo Emerson:
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. […] Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. […]
Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.
I’m just waiting for the outrage from Americans, particularly the military, who have a long-standing habit of picking up spouses overseas.
Nuremberg-style. With the same stakes if found guilty.
I got into it on some site the other day, the commenter point at the Stanford study and worked back to a tiny rate of mortality. Trouble is, if we’re underestimating the prevalence by 50-85-fold then even the basic flu is mass murder.
We’ll never see the real data, too political, and there is a part of it that is about making sure people don’t panic. But we’ll never get the real number for a Red state out of sheer bad faith. We just pay their bills while they plot against us.
as does the issuer of the order.
The reason I posted this was that I don’t think probable deaths have been included.
You’re right, we will never know the real data, but this bit may get a little closer to the real numbers, as if the reported numbers aren’t horrifying enough.
