Solid. Information dissemination. No frills and no panic.

/watch the MSM’s first comment be, “Cant help but notice a distinct lack of diversity on the podium. Way too many old white guys”.

Donald Trump turns his press conference into a petri dish for the coronavirus as he handshakes, mic touches and manhandles his way through Rose Garden appearance - ignoring his own CDC's guidelines

Donald Trump held a press conference in the White House Rose Garden Friday
The president declared a national emergency, allowing for $50billion in funds
Trump repeatedly shook hands during the press conference with CEOs, against CDC guidelines
Trump, VP Mike Pence and members of the coronavirus task force all adjusted the same microphone when they came up to the podium
But Bruce Greenstein, Executive VP of the LHV Group, offered his elbow when Trump when in for a handshake
Members of the media were sitting shoulder to shoulder

1/ Trump declared a national emergency – which he described as “two very big words” – to combat the coronavirus pandemic. Trump then shook hands with members of his team. The declaration will “open up access” to $50 billion in emergency funding, lift restrictions on doctors and hospitals to “do as they want,” and waive student loan interest. Trump also announced plans for a large-scale drive-thru protocol for testing for the virus, but said “We don’t want everybody taking this test. It’s totally unnecessary.” Trump then blamed existing rules set by prior administrations for limiting options, saying “I don’t take responsibility at all” for the lack of available testing. The administration expects 1.4 million additional tests to be available next week and five million within a month. When asked about the closure
of the White House’s pandemic response team in 2018, Trump called it a “nasty question” and denied firing the team. Trump also announced that the government would buy large quantities of crude oil for the nation’s strategic reserve while oil prices are low. (Politico
/ NBC News
/ New York Times
/ Washington Post
/ Bloomberg
/ CNN
/ Wall Street Journal
/ The Guardian
)

Trump criticized the CDC for its response to COVID-19 and blamed the Obama administration for the situation. In a pair of tweets, Trump — without evidence — claimed that the CDC knew its testing system for large-scale pandemics was “inadequate” and “did nothing about it.” Trump also called the Obama administration’s response to the Swine flu pandemic a “full scale disaster” and said Obama “made changes that only complicated things further.” (NBC News
/ New York Times
)

The CDC’s worst-case scenario projects that as many as 200,000 to 1.7 million Americans could die from coronavirus. Between 160 million and 214 million people in the U.S. could be infected during the pandemic, which could last months to over a year. And, 2.4 million to 21 million people in the U.S. could require hospitalization. The U.S. has about 925,000 staffed hospital beds. (New York Times
/ USA Today
)

[QUOTABLE] “The federal response has been a fiasco.” – Dr. Ashish Jha of the Harvard Global Health Institute (PBS
)

[QUOTABLE] “The system is not really geared to what we need right now. That is a failing. Let’s admit it.” – Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NBC News
)

[ANALYSIS] Trump as Bystander. School superintendents, sports commissioners, college presidents, governors, and business owners have taken it upon themselves to shut down much of American life without clear guidance from Trump. (New York Times
)

[OPINION] Trump failed the defining test of his presidency. He attempted to calm the nation, provide clarity, and offer a clear plan of action, but accomplished none of those things in his Oval Office address on the coronavirus.

Obviously they were showing their willingness to take one for the President. Such brave and dedicated lads they are although their kowtowing may have been more a demonstration of their dedication to their continued employment.

Since he was elected Trump has been not only a national disaster but has managed to spill over into the international class disaster category dragging the USA with him. No wonder the leaders of the world openly laugh at him.

Google is not working with the US government in building a nationwide website to help people determine whether and how to get a novel coronavirus test, despite what President Donald Trump said in the course of issuing an emergency declaration for the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, a much smaller trial website made by another division of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, is going up. It will only be able to direct people to testing facilities in the Bay Area.

More than an hour after Trump’s press conference, a Google communications Twitter account passed along the following statement from Verily, which is a different company inside the Alphabet corporate umbrella:

We are developing a tool to help triage individuals for Covid-19 testing. Verily is in the early stages of development, and planning to roll testing out in the Bay Area, with the hope of expanding more broadly over time. We appreciate the support of government officials and industry partners and thank the Google engineers who have volunteered to be part of this effort.

Parrot is screaming again.

Bob is his old trollish self, thinking he knows something and is somebody.

A person would be better of stranded alone on a deserted island than stranded on a deserted island with Bob. They would last longer and be saner.
