The virus has been active for almost 8 months.

The mitigation and reality of contracting it is much more clear.

Time to trust the young people and let them mitigate and be social.

Trust the medicine and the improving treatments.

Protect the care facilities and elderly and open everyone else back up with an eye to hot spots.

The heroes have been working non-stop.

With much of the country opening up and more to come.

I don’t see the value to use this as a political point.

Several dozen positive tests is “ripping through the government?”

The government and campaigns are functioning just fine.

Next debate will be virtual…that sounds fine to me.

Still moving forward.

Bobbing and weaving around the truth is not working.

But it’s delightful that you keep trying

You keep declining delivery and conflating truth with opinion so we are even.

:man_shrugging:t4:

Mostly flyover and Florida is opening up. (And we see the effect in Wisconsin)

The coasts are still shut down.

The Joint Chiefs are in quarantine. The Presidents advisors have it. The head of the White House Security office is in the hospital. Several White House staff got it and no one knows who they spread it to because they refuse to do the basics of contact tracing.

Outside of the conservative bubble this is bad. I mean like really really bad.

One campaign is functioning fine. The other is imploding.

I am anxiously awaiting the deep concern that Biden will be using a teleprompter. This is a situation that Trump created and I know somehow they will try to make Biden look “weak” because of it. it won’t work. They will claim it does… but it won’t.

The Trump campaign is the Red Queen right now.

Biden does not go out too much. Looks like the presidental debate is going to be cancelled because Trump does not hide in his basement.

Not all the coast, Allan.

Harris filibustered her way around the truly important questions such as whether they would try to expand the SC.

Just like Biden no answers on the big stuff.

The elephant in the room: Kamala lost the debate last night, regardless of what lamestream media says. I watched the whole thing with friends and it was obvious to all.

I liked that fly on VP Pence head. Instead of the fly in the wall it was the fly on a head.

Cloth is the worst, the cheap surgical ones are better, but they all are a lot better nothing as they keep droplets from being ejected. They are not 100% but if everybody would have worn them there would be much fewer cases.

Again I point to the white house as empirical evidence.

Hurricane approaching the gulf coast. Stand down FEMA, it’s only Texas and Louisiana.

ohhh… so different states have different needs. My my my. Maybe that is why those words about power of the states is in our constitution? (Well…MY constitution anyhow…)

FEMA = cent gov

And they are working with state governments to help the states help themselves.

You centralized government lovers don’t trust the states. It really looks like someone trying to fill an emptiness in their life. Daddy?

Stuff your snark.

National emergencies are best addressed with national strategies. It has nothing to do with trusting the states.

Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak [132] (Proclamation 9994)[133] — On March 13, 2020, President Donald Trump declared that he would give the states and territories access to up to 50 billion dollars in federal funds to fight the coronavirus pandemic. This includes the ability to waive laws to enable tele-health. Stated by President Trump: “It gives remote doctor’s visits and hospital check ins. The power to waive certain federal license requirements so the doctors from other states can provide services in states with the greatest need.”[134][135]

But you notice he did not tell the states how and when to wipe their ass.

Well, that’s not true, but:

Governor - one who governs.
