President Trump At Coronavirus Briefing Says Covid Crisis 'Will Probably Unfortunately Get Worse Before It Gets Better'



Daily Mail: Donald Trump admits coronavirus 'will get worse before it will get better' as he tells people to wear a mask and stay out of bars - but says he should NOT be judged on handling of crisis

* President Donald Trump held his first coronavirus briefing on Tuesday evening since he stopped showing up for the daily events in April
* Admitted: '[COVID] will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better'
* Noticeably absent from the briefing was the nation's top immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci, who serves on the White House Coronavirus Task Force
* The daily briefings have now continued after they were stopped when Trump suggested people inject bleach to treat COVID-19
* Vice President Mike Pence, who heads the task force, said he would 'leave that to the White House' on whether Fauci would appear at the briefings
* The White House press secretary said briefings will be 'short' and 'very newsy'

President Donald Trump conceded Tuesday that the worst of COVID-19 is yet to come as he held his first White House coronavirus briefing since April.

'It will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better – something I don't like saying about things,' Trump said of the continuing global health crisis. 'But that's the way it is, that's the way – that's what we have.'

'You look at the world, it's all over the world,' he said, deflecting from the severity of the pandemic in the U.S., adding viruses 'tend' to worsen before improving.

Houston Fire and Police are Looking Into Reports That Chinese Officials are 'Burning Documents' at the Consulate General

"Could be nothing, could be something."

At any rate it is scary.

Consulates are off limits unless there is a war.

Or maybe documents just piled up to high. What is their usual disposal method?

Is Trump treying to look good both ways.


If it is bad, he can say "See told you so" and list all the things he has done to fix or ameliorate it?

Or is is under promise while trying to over perform.

Were have Phase 3 trials, for drugs. That would be Oxford, also an American company and the Chinese have trials too.

Case are up due to testing but deaths are down or steady.

A 2nd wave cannot be as bad as the 1st because the Democrat governors have already gone through senior citizens like they were cord wood. Not much left to burn.

Cord wood indeed, anon. Soaking up precious funding just staying alive that could be used to better ends. For instance, BLM graffiti on NY streets, larger reefers for miss nancy's ice cream, etc.

This is beyond any man's or president's power.

The Chinese (and I too) knew very well that a country like the USA cannot be shut down in an autocratic way

For years(!) the media was complicit in conducting information, psychological and cultural warfare.

Not fully complicit, let me explain.

For full complicity you need to understand China's war by other means

China doesn't want a direct war. Instead they understand the weakness of our societies and infect us from within

Culturally and educationally through the Confuscius institutes, about a thousand around the world , propagating false narratives, promoting and funding research - in our universities - through their funding power. Three CCP knows exactly what they're doing. Their plan all along was to weaken our societies and bring them to the breaking point

The theft of trillions of IP, data, trademarks, copyrights is a four edged sword:
1. It harms us directly because the money is directly missing from our companies and governments
2. The lacking money(trillions) directly results in poverty and death. You might not notice it yet. Some people never will notice it, but to live in the west and to stay healthy and afford healthcare you need a healthy economy. When trillions are lost, hospitals shut down, wages are cut. Hell, I know a double PhD who makes so little she barely can afford living. On top 14hr shifts. That's not a life I'd wish on anyone. Medicines cannot be afforded and more and more often doctors make the decision to not extend late-in- life care. It's a dirty secret but those who work in the field know fully what I mean and how many people died of this lack of funds or had their quality if life seen go down the toilet
3. It hurts or economies and industries also because they not only lose that money, but have more and more difficulty competing with a nation that doesn't follow international law and state sponsors their competitors.
4. It hurts us also because our, money/IP and assets they stole from us, are directly used against us, to fund education and media directly opposed to our way of life and our culture

The Chinese way of war is very smart, they use our weaknesses and open- mindedness against us. We, the west and especially the USA during the Clinton administration, opened our arms to China, encouraged them to take part in international trade.

It's been a rude awakening. In the west, there's a culture deeply rooted in many of us formed, if you know it or not, by the judeo- Christian value system of helping others.

Now here's what you need to understand:

Our niceness is seen not only as weakness but as stupid. They fo not value our sense of wanting to help.. they laugh at us. This is something you need to understand to see how deep the trouble is we've gotten ourselves into. They burn and tear down or churches, imprison our pastors, perpetrate ethnic cleansing on unwanted populations.

Those who do not understand it, ok.. please smarten up fast, but there are those among us who don't care, who think they'll just make money and retire and won't have to care.

No. Please understand. There's no other country on the Chinese world map in 2100. You'll be subjugated to Chinese rule. You will obey what the CCP tells you to do.

You must stand up. All of us. And our media needs to stop helping china and call a spade a spade. Stop making money of our freedoms. Our human rights are at stake. Literally. Not tomorrow. Not in a week. CNN, MSNBC, NYTIMES, WAPO they need to choose. Either make money of your Chinese deals(the parent organisations have huge interests in China) and go to prison for treason, or be honest in your reporting. Stop the Russia collusion hoax. Stop hiding news about ethnic cleansing in China. Call them out for their trillions in theft. The Wuhan virus

Stop enabling them!!
