Trump’s America is stalking Italy in the coronavirus pandemic like Harvey Weinstein stalking an aspiring actress. (Ok ... horrible simile, but this is a bad situation that will go way beyond horrible.)

In per capita number of cases or per capita deaths? America will be worse?

Cause I'd like to take the other side of that bet.

Once you’re among the Senate castrati who voted to neuter their own institution, might as well make some coin. #SenatorBurrResign

Selling stock AND revealing classified info to a select group???

Nice.

We Democrats see far more corruption among Republicans, Trump and his massive acceptance of foreign bribes being the prime example (and why he should have been removed from office).

Anyway, it's all moot now. The virus is going to vividly demonstrate to every non-wealthy man, woman, and child in the US that a socialist-democrat government is the ONLY kind that can keep them safe and prosperous in a first-world economy.

GREAT News From China: No New Coronavirus Cases For The First Time In Two Months

China has reported no new domestic coronavirus cases for the first time since late December when the outbreak began in the city of Wuhan.

Looks like it may not be as bad as the left wants it to be.

Could you point that out to me? Presumably you have some facts to back that up.

One example: a couple days ago, old salt claimed that Trump's Europe travel ban was a model for European leaders. (Not sure which thread that was in, and I'm not going to search it out for you.)

Mostly, it's people like you saying that that any criticism of the Dear Leader is totally out of bounds, that the whole crisis is the fault of democrats for wasting time on impeachment, etc etc etc.

There's tons of such posts here. Read them.

Not just the travel ban. The implication was the clamp down on freedom of movement gave EU leaders cover to do the same.

There's been all sorts of apologia.
That's just one example from one poster.
One of the more rational, if predictable.

PB, we know you were staying away during lax, but there's an awful lot of posts for you to read through if you're seriously interested in where this discussion has been over the last 6 weeks or so. Probably best to get that perspective before immediately assuming you know what the discussion has been.

Of course, if you think that it's ridiculous that anyone might have been praising Trump's performance in this mess, many of us would quite agree.

Even so, it's good to see at least some directional change.
Even those who detest him (a I certainly do) have managed to say so.

Pointing out facts is not apologia or praise. It's calling BS on negative, partisan disinformation.
Just look at the sequence of when things happened.
Things got worse in the EU sooner, but (with the exception of Italy) the US imposed restrictions sooner.
You think it doesn't make it easier for EU leaders to impose politically difficult restrictions if the US has done it too ?
Before the EU closed it's borders, who besides Italy took actions as soon or as restrictive as the US did ?
You want apologia -- all we heard then was that such US restrictions were not necessary or counterproductive.

DW was making a big deal about Merkel addressing the German people. The first time she's made such a speech in 15 yrs in office, except for her annual New Years Day speech.
The EUros don't have Trump to blame for this. What's their excuse ? Who's their scapegoat ?

Which school district was Trump responsible for shutting down? Which colleges did he shut down? Did he give Ty the exclusive interview when he cancelled lacrosse season? When did Trump make the call on the NBA?

WHHHOAAAA

Whats your bytch buster

Trump acted to slowly

Or It wasn't necessary for him to act at all—everyone else made all the decisions.

I don’t speak emoji. You said the left wants it to be bad. You mean the left condones and hopes people will suffer and die for political reasons. You said it; I’m not making it up. It’s a completely bullsh@t statement, and nasty. You’re better than that, emojis or not.

Trump bungled the critical first days of this. His leadership has, by any reasonable measure, been nearly nonexistent. The country had a two month runway to get ready, and Trump and Sean and Laura laughed at the hoax. Those are facts, mate, not wishes of the evil left.

Just pointing out facts..... you know, those things that no longer matters.

I'm more liberal than some and want it to be really bad so I lose all my money before I die (Compromised elder here). Add me to your stats YA.

Yes, but that was Chinaman blood. Not the same real Murican blood.

“The governor of California on Thursday evening issued a statewide stay at home order to help combat the spread of the novel coronavirus.

The order is effective Thursday night and asks residents to leave their homes only when necessary.

Gov. Gavin Newsom's announcement came less than an hour after officials in Los Angeles County ordered people to stay home except for essential needs or jobs for indoor shopping malls and non-essential retail to close.”

Sorry, I lost the source I had for this already. Communicating with my daughter who lives in California.

We received this bulletin:

"It is likely that every household in town will be impacted and everyone will know of somebody who passed from this virus," Health Department Director Sands Cleary said at the press conference, which was livestreamed by the town. "… Every interaction you have with others, every surface you touch, increases the risk of this illness entering your household."

Ok, did tonight's run for the days action (past 24 hrs from roughly 7:30 pm to 7:30 pm)

Interesting information follows:

US Cases per Capita --> 3.94 per 100,000
US Deaths per Capita --> .5 per million

States with highest per capita infection (per 100,000)
--> New York 27.3; more than double yesterday's rate
--> Washington 15.6; only slightly higher than yesterday's rate
--> New Jersey 8.4; more than double yesterday's rate
--> Louisiana 7.5; 50% higher than yesterday's rate
--> District of Columbia 5.7; 40% higher that yesterday's rate

Only 5 states have death rates of more than 1 per million
--> Washington 8.9 per million
--> Louisiana 1.7 per million
--> New York 1.1 per million
--> South Dakota 1.1 per million
--> New Jersey 1.0 per million

US deaths in the last 24 hours is 47% greater than the deaths for the previous 24 hours
US new cases in the last 24 hours is 68% greater than the new cases in the previous 24 hours

Six new states have joined the club, recording their first death in the past 24 hours
--> Pennsylvania
--> Michigan
--> Missouri
--> Maryland
--> Oklahoma
--> Connecticut

Notes:
Washington State might be winding down for this wave, hard to tell with such limited data

Salty,
I thought we'd been through the timelines...the EU countries by and large moved sooner than we did, not just in shut down, but way sooner on testing enabling more targeted quarantining. Italy, tragically, was following our lead in thinking just closing borders to travelers from China would work...slow out of the gate too.

Not sure why you'd keep saying otherwise. Trump didn't do a darn thing until after states began taking their own actions and calling very publicly for the federal government to step up...Trump's been behind at every step of the way...after investing so much political capital in denying that the virus was a serious threat at all...

Yeah. The EU took the easy, relatively ineffective decisions before us. They had the benefit of working test kits.
They waited to follow our lead on the tough decisions -- like restricting movement & closing borders (beyond Governors authority).
Trump & task force coordinated with the Governors, backing them up, as they collaborated & did what's best for their states.
Our Governor Hogan, in his leadership position, played a part in the Governors coordinated actions.

I had that same fear just watching what was being reported in the MSM.

Were it not for the CG tax liability, I would have divested also.

Fauci was on the tube tonite selling Trump's the China travel ban was necessary bigtime, the same for EU ban. No numbers, just the statement.

I remain skeptical. Why is he making the rounds to make this point at this time?? He is clearly speaking the party line.

Every WHO scientist that has addressed the issue, has disagreed. Logically, given the time line we are sure of to this point - it makes no sense.
