Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[Carl Pickens]

Fauci is waffling like Waffle House on this.... first he said all is well.... nothing to worry about and now he’s claiming that he’s been ringing the bell on the virus. Which is it?

Let's be clear about what President Trump actually did. President Trump did not place an absolute block on people coming to the United States from China. 40,000 Americans and other authorized travelers have still come into the country from China since the first week in February. All Trump did, was block foreign nationals who had been in China in the past 14 days from coming into the United States starting on February 2nd. Also, it's unlikely that the limited "travel ban" from China, has done much to mitigate the crisis where it has had the largest impact - New York City. CDC studies have shown that the NYC coronavirus outbreak originated in Europe and was circulating in NYC in mid-February, weeks before the first confirmed case.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is now saying that the policies which closed schools, canceled sporting events and concerts, as well as the stay-at-home orders could have saved lives if they had been implemented sooner. Here is a quote from Dr. Fauci on CNN:

"I mean, obviously, you could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives," Dr. Fauci said, on "State of the Union" on CNN.

Dr. Fauci continued with "Obviously, no one is going to deny that. But what goes into those kinds of decisions is complicated. But you're right. Obviously, if we had, right from the very beginning, shut everything down, it may have been a little different. But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down."

That is why President Trump is now (predictably) lashing out at Dr. Fauci on Twitter, and openly saying that he wants Dr. Fauci fired as the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a position that Dr. Fauci has held since 1984.

Well damn.... what was Fauci supposed to say? Of course shutting everything down earlier would have saved lives. In your opinion when should the trigger have been pulled? The whole freaking world has been caught off guard with this damn thing and some of you guys act like everyone involved should have known exactly when and what to do.
It’s tiresome and aggravating

Lol. China. Smh.

That's because I am using logic and common sense. Like Trump.

Glad to see you coming to trumps senses.

Pretty much what Coulter said.

Then they will come back and attack him for patients suffering from side effects.

Poor, Trump... he just can't win.

Ok that's funny.

Way to ignore the other 50 things in that post.

Once you tell the country "We have it totally under control" the next thing you might say is sorry, I was wrong instead of "I take no responsibility".

When did under control mean no deaths? And when did out performing all modeling suggest failure?

This is a weak excuse when we saw Italy shutting their entire country down before NYC even really became a hotspot

I get that this is a point about the Times, but hospitals have been using that drug and it’s not doing much of anything. It apparently MAY help if you take it in the very early stages of illness.

 

[NashVol11]

They must be filing a lawsuit as a publicity stunt.

FYP

Looks like a war zone in there...

2 seconds of clicking through to the original tweet revealed that this hospital is in Markham, Ontario, not NYC or somewhere else where hospitals are being overwhelmed

Dude, I'm sure Ontario is shut down because of this nonsense also. The way the media is popping off, there should be hospitals filled to the gills withdying patients.

 

[NashVol11]

More fun from the front lines...

Similarly, not sure Columbus, OH is the “front lines.” Creating an expectation that no healthcare professional anywhere in North America is doing anything but working, and then mocking healthcare professionals during a pandemic because of it, isn’t a great look

Haterade right here.

In New York, there are. No Democrat or media member is suggesting that every city is like NYC or the worst parts of Italy; that’s a strawman

Guess someone can talk to NYC doctors about being haters then

Next to the woman was an elderly man who had been intubated earlier in the day, and he was declining quickly. For Covid-19 patients, ventilators are sometimes the only hope — but they aren’t much hope.

Neither, perhaps, is hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malaria medication that President Trump has hailed as a possible “game changer.” Most patients at both hospitals I visited have been receiving hydroxychloroquine, sometimes combined with the drug azithromycin, but people are still dying in large numbers. Some doctors think that these drugs help if administered early, but I spoke to no one on the front lines who believed they were a game changer.

She is rooting for this to drag on so that it hurts Trump even more in November. It's obvious.

I think we can all agree that no one wants to be stuck at home anymore. There are still valid concerns about when and how to reopen. And Trump is likely going to win regardless.

Fire Trump! This @sswipe has no idea what he's doing!

I hope it helps but if not then move on to the next drug...... I don’t believe any of this anonymous type articles though..... these writers are so shady.
