You have to give him credit for not pretending he gives a sh*t about the pandemic.

Didn’t Obama go golfing during the last pandemic?

Isn't Trump the president?

True.

At least he didn’t double down on his Easter Sunday remarks and endanger even more people than he already has.

My point is the media has selective outrage, if it were consistent it would be all good.

Absolutely foo.

(Relatively) Good news for the US.

Note 1: Good news is that daily increases in case numbers have been under 20% each day for the last 3 days. These are the ONLY days under 20% since I started tracking on Mar 7. Today set a new low on daily increase of 16.3%. Since we would really like to get down to 2% to avoid overrunning our health care system 16.3% might seem high. But it is down from real daily numbers in the mid-20s. So, it's a start.

Note 2: Fatality rates continue to rise. Worst news of all, I suppose. But if the daily increases continue to drop that can overwhelm any rise in fatality rates.

Note 3: The reduction in the rate of increase corresponds pretty closely with the SIP orders put in place starting about 12 days ago. This is consistent with what we've seen in other countries.

Wondering what other folks are seeing in their areas. Here in Silicon Valley SIP orders were first put in place 12 days ago. They had some immediate impact on people's behavior but it has been incremental. Now, after 12 days, taking a walk outside it is getting close to the point where one gets the feeling of living in a ghost town. I suspect that is what we will need.

Just wondering how things look elsewhere.

People rally around the president during a time of crisis and an 80%+ approval rate for his handling of the crisis was all teed up for him. Instead, he has absolutely effed it up. He gets critical press as a result, lashes back, his people and Fox support him and it's become as divisive as hell.

I don't like Pence, but if he was the president, there would be about one tenth as much hostility between conservatives and liberals right now.

Agreed, I don’t like or agree with Pence, but I respect the way he carries himself.

His lack of tweets about the bachelor tv show alone make him streets ahead of Trump.

Well, since the 2009-2010 pandemic lasted more than a year and a half, it's a very good bet that Obama went golfing at some point during it. And?

Oh--AND President Trump has played golf at least four times (including twice in March) since announcing a limited travel restriction on January 31st.

AND the Obama administration declared a public health emergency during that 2009-10 period, six weeks BEFORE H1N1 was officially declared a pandemic, and BEFORE the first American death from the disease.

Oh--AND I never voted for BHO, for good reasons. (In fact, in 40+ years as a voter I have never checked the Democratic box for any office in any election.) But bullshit whataboutisms cannot obscure the manifold failings and LIES of the Trump administration, both now and for the last three years.

Any further questions?

....except, they never asked you for any money, doofus.

Nice way of deflecting I thought, but no, just the mind of a kid.

At the rate its going they may have to bail out the USA

Besides tweeting about something he shouldn't care about, he doesn't understand what happened in Canada. The Queen of England is also the Queen of Canada, so it could be argued that Canada should pick up the security tab. There is zero expectation for the U.S. to do so.

Shut up you has-been old man.

And now the death toll in Florida is 60. It will continue to climb for a while yet.

Posting a meme with such a glaring grammatical error doesn't really work. You fail again.

Any more cutting edge research for us easily tricked trigged???

I'm waiting on the close of data on Worldometer- praying Europe won't send an update.

Right now we have *declines* in daily deaths in italy, france, spain. Each of them.

The data have broken my heart in the past so I'm expecting bad news.

So much for America First.

Gov half-wit backs away from her earlier comments. She lied.

From her interview this morning with Chuck Todd:

Trump wins again.
