President Donald Trump early Tuesday doubled down on a false claim that the United States is “rounding the turn” in its efforts to curb the coronavirus pandemic, complaining of the overwhelming coverage of the pandemic by the press.
News is news. Trump is living in an information bubble and has no real idea what is going on in the country.
One of my cousins in Western Kansas, a Fox News viewer and Trump supporter, was shocked to discover that one of her friends, an older man, is in intensive care after being moved to a distant hospital. Her small town hospital isn’t big enough to handle the cases.
The virus is spreading rapidly in 40 states. Lots of those states are red states. I suspect there will be a lot of Trump supporters who won’t vote because of fear of Covid.
"…one senior administration official told Politico of the recent clusters of the virus among White House staff, adding, “we supposedly work in one of the most secure places in the world.”
You all work in a cesspool. A fetid cluster of depraved people.
Death Panel?
I’ll show you a death panel.

Left unsaid about this 60 Minutes bail was he’d never have left were the interviewer a man. He’d have tried to bully and brazen his way through it somehow, turned it into a mano a mano showdown. When confronted with a strong, competent, intelligent woman he folds.
Nope, it’s like an oval NASCAR race track. You’ve got three more corners to turn but they all turn left. And then you end up back where you started. Rinse and repeat.
Only slightly OT:
Maybe because places like Elkhart County, Indiana, are back to hot-spot status?
Thank you, Foxxers and Facebookers.
And the local Amish and Hispanic populations, neither of which will lay off the group socializing. Which is interesting in its own right, because although the Amish skew conservative (duh) the Hispanics mostly do not. They are both heavily represented in the RV industry, and both tend towards larger households. Only real overlap between the two groups are workplaces.
There’s a lot for some epidemiologists to unpack here. I know our state department of health is on it, but I can see years of useful studies ahead.
It is a bubble of his own making. While people may feed him bull to ingratiate themselves, the fact is he makes up his mind what he wants to believe and proceeds to do so. No fact or truth remains unchallenged in his world if it is an inconvenience.
