President Trump falsely declares coronavirus is ‘ending’ as virus rates spike and financial markets dip

[bsm2]

Trump is right: He can’t contain the virus. But a better president could.

IT DID not have to be this way. The United States, endowed with wealth, brains, advanced biomedical researchers and a robust biotech industry, did not have to end up as the nation with the highest death toll from the coronavirus. Yet last week the country was again shattering U.S. one-day records for new cases — and the White House was responding as it has from the start, in pathetic surrender.


It does not have to be this way.


Europe, too, is suffering a second wave of infections. But instead of sitting on their hands, leaders are responding with alacrity. In Spain, the government declared a state of emergency in the face of a 54 percent rise in new cases over the past two weeks, imposing a nighttime curfew. “The situation we are going through is extreme,” said Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. “It is the most serious in the past half century.” In France, the government expanded an overnight curfew it imposed in eight urban areas last week to encompass 38 more regions, meaning 46 million of France’s 67 million people will be under curfews. In Italy, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte ordered restaurants and bars to close by 6 p.m., and gyms, pools and movie theaters to shut down entirely. A lockdown in Israel, while difficult, has resulted in a dramatic decline in the daily count of new cases.






And in the United States? President Trump on the campaign trail in recent days complained that all he heard about on television was “covid, covid, covid, covid, covid.” His chief of staff, Mark Meadows, voiced the president’s approach of wretched negligence, saying, “We’re not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigations.” At least five aides or advisers close to Vice President Pence were confirmed positive for infection, and what is Mr. Pence’s response? To say that he’s fine and to hit the campaign trail in person. Perhaps Mr. Pence still believes his ridiculous June 16 opinion piece about a second wave that declared, “such panic is overblown.” In this wilderness of mirrors, Mr. Meadows tried to keep news of the Pence staff outbreak under wraps. Unfortunately, as Mr. Trump’s leadership has shown, what the American people don’t know can hurt them.

At least 225,000 Americans have died, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Although optimism about an effective vaccine or therapy is warranted, no one can be sure when either will be ready. Until then, virus hot spots need a rapid response, including temporary shutdowns where necessary to slow transmission. A nationwide mask mandate would help immensely. Shortages in personal protective equipment must be alleviated. Once the raging community spread is reduced, a massive drive to test, trace and isolate the sick could begin to keep infections at a low level. All of this will require leadership — which is another way of saying it will require a different president.

Trump Relies On Repeating Lies Until Supporters Believe Them

Amy Coney Barrett Confirmed to The Supreme Court

And again, the democrats refused to be bipartisan!
The majority of Americans favored Barrett being confirmed with only 27% opposing.
Also, the democrats’ unwillingness to do the jobs they were elected for has become obviously clear to the American people, and they are losing support by the day!

Hospitals Bear Brunt Of Trump Admin Surrender To Coronavirus |

My wife had been sick with what seemed like covid type symptoms. The doctors were only doing video and phone visits. Finally they told us to go get her tested,she was negative. So now to find out what was wrong with her they told us to go to the emergency room. The hospital is in a high population area just outside of chicago. I thought this is gonna be a nightmare with all the hospitals being filled up with covid patients. There was only one other person in the ER. All told we had to keep going to the er 5 times. Each time the first thing they tested her for was covid,negative everytime. Everytime the hospital was like a ghost town. I talked to people who went to other local hospitals and they said it was also totally unlike what they were saying on the news. I believe they are fudging the numbers big time.
