Seven weeks of neglecting the issue, underselling it, and now Mitch is outraged Dems don’t embrace his solution to a problem he just discovered.
They are not, because he is expressing hope and has in fact explained compassionate care exemption given by the FDA. Trump was a bit more over the top.6ftstick wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 1:17 pm What an idiot.
Governor Andrew Cuomo in a radio interview with Sean Hannity on Friday said he is hopeful an anti-malaria drug will make some gains in fighting the symptoms of COVID-19.
"I'm an optimist," Cuomo said. "I'm hopeful about the drugs and that's why we'll try it here in New York as soon as we get it."
Whens the media gonna jump all over this liar?
And he deliberately excludes the Speaker from his discussions, when, you know, she's the Speaker of the "House of Representatives." The guy's venal gall is remarkable, I'll say that for him.
The amount of money the R's want to send the voters won't cover their rent. The D's are fighting to get them enough. And simultaneously NOT sending the black-lung checks to the mining CEOs instead.Peter Brown wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 1:27 pm You need to inform the American voters who are about to miss their rent check April 1 that you Left fella's are just playing 3D chess here

Now why would that be? She seemed quite happy to authorize Obama's use of $700 billion for banks and special interests in 2009...
Asking too much to keep nonsensical goodies out of bailout funds...

That's a tough read. Alas, I'm afraid that we're going to be hearing a lot more stories like this.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 1:28 pm From my music buddy in Detroit:
--I have had a fever of 100 or more for six days straight now. I can do some work on my computer or around the house, but not for more than about 3-4 hours before I need to lay down and sleep for 3-4 hours. I woke this morning having significant trouble breathing. Being vertical has helped, but it was frankly a scary ten minutes or so when I first got up. My wife appears to have this now too and she has autoimmune issues, so I'm much more worried about her. She has also encountered shortness of breath in a much shorter period than I did. At this point I am fairly confident this is COVID19, but testing is getting no easier to come by, despite the lies to the contrary coming from "that guy". We'll continue to hang in there. --
-- I live just one mile from the nearest hospital. I can get to help when I really need it. My doctor is not seeing sick patients at all and just a few days ago was operating his waiting room normally with elderly patients right next to my wife before she was showing any symptoms. He unfortunately is one who's politics have impaired his data interpretation skills. I have medical professionals in the family with the same syndrome. They thought this was all pretty dumb until a couple of days ago. I will be changing doctors when this is all over. --

At this rate, the Democrats will need a new virus to absorb all this dosh! Let’s add a bailout of the postal service whose union gives me that sweet green every two years!

This is an incredibly interesting article on how the FDA bungled things as only bureaucracies can. The US and SoKo got their first detected cases on the same date, 1-21. Our FDA inserted itself into the process by demanding an 'Emergency Use Authorization" (EAU) letter from the FDA for any lab that wished to test for Covid-19. Labs that had begun to test instead had to shut down, waiting for the letter; the United States has 260,000 laboratory entities.
Between 1-21 and 2-29, only one EAU letter was issued, to the CDC lab. Everything was pinned on one lab, whose protocol proceeded to fail. Of course. On March 16, finally, the FDA sped up the process by removing itself from the process, by providing an EAU exemption to any lab that sought it, essentially giving power of this process to the states.
Guess who ordered that ruling? Libs here won't be happy, but it rhymes with drump.
Speed not perfection in a pandemic.
Bureaucracies exist to deny you your rights. Never forget that.

Of course bureaucracies slow stuff down.
and this was an epic fail for sure.
But of leadership not just bureaucracy.
Do you imagine that SK doesn't have bureaucracy?
March 15?!
why don't you ask the question as to why Trump didn't order it opened up sooner?
did he ask about it?
when was the last time he said the virus wasn't a serious issue or even worse, that "we just have 15 cases and it's soon going to zero"?
I thought it was you who always tell us that Trump is a "moron". How would a moron know what an 'Emergency Use Authorization" (EAU) is?
In some regards, I think you are correct, but you're missing the why; Trump isn't a details guy...at all.I bet Trump didn't even know what the FDA was prior to 6 weeks ago. My guess is he said to Azar, 'handle it'. And Azar probably didn't have a clue how to get a bureaucracy to move. When that became apparent, Trump stepped in.
But you don't get to call Trump a moron and blame him for the inner trappings of the FDA. Pick one or the other.
CNN would say "All we have to fear is fear itself" is peddling unsubstantiated hope in dark times. Or would they?youthathletics wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 2:05 pm Trump peddles unsubstantiated hope in dark times
