Our pathetic president is venturing outside his comfort zone today, and actually giving a news conference. He probably should have waited until the markets close (the only thing he really cares about), because he’s guaranteed to say something stupid enough to cause another panic.
Does it sound like I have no faith in his ability to deal effectively with this crisis? Good, that’s what I intended.
nope.

Trump, bashing the Obama administration again, falsely claims that, with H1N1, “They didn’t do testing like this” and that they didn’t do testing until “far too late.” The H1N1 testing numbers were exponentially higher.

re: #164 calochortus
We could presumably not starve for a month or more, but I’d prefer a slightly more balanced diet. Also, I’m not digging into the freezer/pantry stores yet, so I need more food.
That’s the situation I’m in. I think I have enough food for if I get stuck in the house for 3-4 weeks (I need to lose some weight anyway), but I’m trying not to use that stash now so I’m still stopping at the grocery store a couple times a week. It’s on the route home from work.
My usual friday routine is to go to the laundromat right after work. There’s usually no one else there at that time (social distancing won’t be an issue). I can keep my hands off my face for the 70 minutes it takes to wash and dry, and I scrub my hands as soon as I get home. I’m feeling like there is some risk, but at this point I can’t stop doing everything and I just need to make sure to take the recommended steps.

re: #162 goddamnedfrank
Yeah I’m just gonna straight up say what’s going on today is not stabilization but overweening insane optimism operating as “conventional wisdom.” It’s going back to the beach after the tsunami warning has been given. The wave is coming, it’s a certainty, but because the disease itself operates stochastically at the individual level people are assessing the systemic risk all goddamned wrong.
Another possibility is that this is coordination of insider trading by the administration with cooperation by the big trading houses. They are all crooks, so why wouldn’t they try to profit off a short-term market move they could set up reasonably easily?
He wants questioners to put their questions to the biz people behind him.

re: #237 Eclectic Cyborg
He probably thinks if people don’t get tested “the numbers” won’t go up.
If he were a smarter man, I might think he was trying to psych out voters by throttling testing so that people will see the numbers “flatline” and assume that must mean the outbreak is winding down as the rise in new cases has stopped.
But he’s an idiot, so it’s more likely he just wants to avoid higher numbers that he feels make him look bad.

Somehow, I don’t think we’re gonna hear any wingnuts cracking jokes about “Government Cruise Lines.”
Trump: “If you go back to swine flu, they didn’t do testing like this.”
H1N1 was first diagnosed on 4/15/09. The CDC called for emergency operations on 4/22/09. 1 million tests were released by 5/15.

A pretty classic quote, really.

The party of personal responsibility NEVER takes responsibility.
Not that it was ever those things to begin with but all the more so now…
Under Trump, the GOP is not the party of morality.Under Trump, the GOP is not the party of national security.Under Trump, the GOP is not the party of personal responsibility.it will never be those things, even after he goes away.And history will show his enablers no kindness.

Point of order: It hasn’t been any of those things in ages, at least not as a reasonable person might interpret them.
The party has defined “morality” for the better part of my lifetime as “Anything that makes the God-botherers angry.”
The party has defined “national security” as “Whatever makes our buddies in the Military-Industrial complex happy.”
The party has defined “personal responsibility” as “When we do it, it’s not illegal.”
The only thing Trump has done is laid it all bare in a way that the party has managed to avoid since Nixon slunk out of office.
