COVID-19 Pandemic (Coronavirus)

[Dr. Acula]

So Pence is blaming the CDC and China for the US response delay

Tbh, I'm not above assigning appropriate blame on China but this is what I was worried about. What is going on in the US government is an attempt to shroud its own failures and continued failures by shifting blame to China. As already pointed out, a lot of other countries took it more seriously and enacted measures immediately curtail this. Our administration is filled with people, who don't take anything seriously. There is no excuse but again, this isn't only Trump, at several state levels too. But this is a national issue and requires a national response currently lacking.

Then they want to divert attention to what supposedly the news media said at a particular point and time. Ignoring the fact the administration has access to intelligence and information far outside of the scope of the media but remember that we saw this coming at the beginning when Trump was known not to read daily briefings, spend an inordinate amount of time watching Fox News, and this administration is now showing what happens when you have an aloof disconnected and in constant campaign mode person in office.

fukk China, but at the end of the day, we pay tax dollars to the US government in order to act in our interests. Not the Chinese. If we're relying on the Chinese to have our best interest in heart, then our government is fukking up.

These three headlines below are telling

In 2017, Obama officials briefed Trump's team on dealing with a pandemic like the coronavirus. One Cabinet member reportedly fell asleep, and others didn't want to be there.

Cuomo finally shut down all the parks

the gates are locked to get into the basketball court across street from me

Did my googles and it seems like only playgrounds and Bball courts are shut down. One can still go to Prospect or Central Park, etc. IMO they should shut down all the parks in the city, Florida closed ALL of the state parks in the state.

 

[fact]

Yep, lololol, I live in albany/Colonie, have lived in Troy, it’s so fukked up, Cuomo is doing a great job with communicating and pushing the sding, but the other parts of NY gov is a fukking disaster. If this is in fact federal, he has a lot of balls to not tell the feds to go fukk themselves.

A retired hospital medical director has become the latest doctor to die from coronavirus in the UK.

Dr Alfa Saadu, 68, was volunteering at the Queen’s Victoria memorial hospital, in Welwyn, Hertfordshire – one of the counties worst hit by the virus – when he became ill. His son Dani confirmed that his father had died after a two-week battle with the disease.

Dr Saadu had not specifically answered the call for retired doctors to return to the front line to tackle the pandemic. But his death will raise more questions about the wisdom of the government’s drive to encourage former medics back to work when older people are more at risk from coronavirus.

Dr Saadu had retired from the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow in 2016 after a distinguished 40-year medical career, but was helping out behind the scenes at his local hospital in Welwyn.

It was announced on Sunday that Amged el-Hawrani, a 55-year-old ear, nose and throat consultant from Burton hospital in Derbyshire, had died. A 63-year-old surgeon, Adil el Tayar, also died last week after volunteering in A&E departments in the Midlands to help the NHS cope with the pandemic. GP Dr Habib Zaidi, 76, also died last week after showing “textbook symptoms” of the virus.

Dani said his father was “a very passionate man, who cared about saving people. “As soon as you spoke to him about medicine his face would light up,” he said. “My dad was a living legend, worked for the NHS for nearly 40 years saving people’s lives here and in Africa. Up until he got sick, he was still working part-time saving people.”

He added: “He was a massive family man and we did everything together. Family came first. He left two sons and a wife, who is a retired doctor herself in occupational health.”

Lance McCarthy, chief executive of Princess Alexandra Hospital, said Dr Saadu would be “remembered fondly by many”. He added: “Alfa was well-known at the trust for his passion for ensuring our patients received high quality care.”

The former health secretary Jeremy Hunt was among the many who paid tribute to Dr Saadu’s heroism.

Eating is fine, but take the damn gloves off and sanitize your hands because of...well the reason you had the gloves on in the first place

This man trump is one of the biggest pieces of shyt to ever exist it’s crazy that no one in his team can get this man to act like a president. Out here trying to do sneak political rallies during the covid 19 press briefing

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Ummm, you’re not supposed to wait until those states have a problem!!!!!


Shut it down BEFORE the problem.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Looking at the states with the most deaths, I can't help but think a disproportionate number of them are black people.

Man, I'm tryna get a flight to the Northern Mariana Islands. That spot looks as safe as having 3 condoms on

 

[Deep_Black_Conscious]

Yep, and anytime something bad happens to that person people on the sideline are like " that's karma"

Meanwhile their ancestors have historically raped and pillaged, committed genocide, started wars, created and spread disease, poisoned the planet for profit, enslaved, hunted animal for sport etc. and some in the world are waiting for the "ah haaa, there's the karma" to occur. We gotta get power and create our own utopia that doesn't reward that behavior. That's the only "karma", them losing power.

an entire race of people are now extinct because of the British monarchy (the Tasmanian people)
the world is a ruthless cesspool of cause and effect with innocent people caught in the middle
