Nearly 53,000 coronavirus cases were reported in the United States on Wednesday creating a new single-day record for positive test results as some states scramble to slow or reverse plans to reopen and some hospitals grapple with an overwhelming flood of new patients.
What constitutes ānew jobsā? It seems to me like it is old jobs that were there before. As the lockdown lifts, more jobs but more infections. Then itās back to square one or worse because government funds have been halted.
Any bets on how many reporters ask him about the 50,000 number and he just ignores them on it? Or calls it fake news? Or insists the numbers are on the decline and itāll all be gone next week?
Or the reporters donāt ask at all and miss yet another opportunity to point out his incompetence?
On one level the incompetent antics of Trump, Pence and the other arrayed bumblers is hilarious. However, the failed patchwork of the US covid responses is terrifying. Nobody seems to be consolidating and processing everything we learn every day and putting it to work. Sweden, the country that presumed wrongly that this wasnāt a much, much much better iteration of SARS, has paid a hefty price, but at least has its public health response back on track. Swedish ICUs are not overwhelmed. Countries that suppressed are doing well at the moment. Indeed, where did the kooky notion of not suppressing a novel pandemic-causing pathogen even come from? I think we have to go back to a disinterested Trump around Jan. 2 when aides were trying to explain the dangers and that Copenhagen, by virtue of its extensive infection in the first wave of the Spanish flu, was almost untouched in the second and third waves that took out 2-3% of the worldās population. Indeed, for months, even today, we see Trump doesnāt seem to understand that this is not the same kind of virus that caused a pandemic a century ago. You would have thought Birx would have a least got to him on this point months ago.
It is particularly scary how the virus passes through the blood-brain barriers and even replicates in the brain. Artistās concept of covid at work and brain defense systems.

I also must ask just what the wages being paid are, just what types of jobs, numbers of hours, etc. What does that job pay, minimum wage, any health care or any benefits, any protective equipment provided, will it be around longer than a couple of months, etc.
Seems that I have read that places like Target have hired 80,000 grocery pickers because of online demand, and that is just one example. Ann example of a job that will be long gone as soon as Target figures out how to get prior staff to do the work.
