It sure does. It screams "paranoia" all over it. I already posted not 1, not 2 but 3 explanations why that is. You asked me to explain you why I thought it's not 'reasonable' and I did.

The least you could do, instead of folding, is answer where you got and what do you mean by this whole scheme of "fear mongering and power manipulation".

I'm actually pretty confident you don't want to answer that because just like the 9/11 kookoo thing, it's pretty embarrassing. But go ahead and prove me wrong.

You make a good point.

The de facto US policy to date of undertesting means CoVID-19 mortality is falling through the cracks.

Many cases are not pursued to medical certainty..

Our total testing to date compares to 3-4 days of testing in Germany.

That's about to change with PCR tests but it takes time to get those online and get staff trained to run them.

Right now, the flu is a bigger threat in the U.S. than the new coronavirus.

We don’t yet know the trajectory of the new coronavirus, which understandably invokes fear. But don’t let all the buzz make you forget about a different virus circulating in the United States right now with a much larger impact than the new coronavirus. It’s killed between 10,000 and 25,000 people in this country between just October 1 and January 25, according to the CDC, and has caused up to 26 million illnesses and 310,000 hospitalizations in that time as well. Schools in several states have closed due to high levels of this illness in their student bodies. We even have a vaccine available to help prevent it. Yes, I’m talking about the flu.

Also, again, we have talked about this before, not that the flu has anything to do with the coronavirus, but half of the people in America do not get a flu shot and the flu right now is far deadlier. So if you’re freaked out at all about the coronavirus, you should be more concerned about the flu. And you can actually do something about it and get a flu shot.

The esteemed science fiction author, best known for movie "Arrival (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/arrival_2016)" that is based on his novel, on how we may never go "back to normal" -- and why that might be a good thing (https://electricliterature.com/ted-chiang-explains-the-disaster-novel-we-all-suddenly-live-in/).
From an interview on Electric Literature:

EL: Do you see aspects of science fiction (your own work or others) in the coronavirus pandemic? In how it is being handled, or how it has spread?

TC: While there has been plenty of fiction written about pandemics, I think the biggest difference between those scenarios and our reality is how poorly our government has handled it. If your goal is to dramatize the threat posed by an unknown virus, there's no advantage in depicting the officials responding as incompetent, because that minimizes the threat; it leads the reader to conclude that the virus wouldn't be dangerous if competent people were on the job. A pandemic story like that would be similar to what's known as an "idiot plot," a plot that would be resolved very quickly if your protagonist weren't an idiot. What we're living through is only partly a disaster novel; it's also -- and perhaps mostly -- a grotesque political satire.


EL: This pandemic isn't science fiction, but it does feel like a dystopia. How can we understand the coronavirus as a cautionary tale? How can we combat our own personal inclinations toward the good/evil narrative, and the subsequent expectation that everything will return to normal?

TC: We need to be specific about what we mean when we talk about things returning to normal. We all want not to be quarantined, to be able to go to work and socialize and travel. But we don't want everything to go back to business as usual, because business as usual is what led us to this crisis. COVID-19 has demonstrated how much we need federally mandated paid sick leave and universal health care, so we don't want to return to a status quo that lacks those things. The current administration's response ought to serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of electing demagogues instead of real leaders, although there's no guarantee that voters will heed it. We're at a point where things could go in some very different ways, depending on what we learn from this experience.

The Virus Killing U.S. Kids Isn’t the One Dominating the Headlines

Coronavirus, with zero American fatalities, is dominating headlines, while the flu has killed dozens of U.S. kids this season—including 11-year-old Luca, a true “Giver of Light.”

Get a grippe, America. The flu is a much bigger threat than coronavirus, for now.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/time-for-a-reality-check-america-the-flu-is-a-much-bigger-threat-than-coronavirus-for-now/2020/01/31/46a15166-4444-11ea-b5fc-eefa848cde99_story.html

We have much more control over the flu.

Vaccinations (you want that mandatory?)
The flu is not nearly insidious as this virus.
You got the numbers on the number of health care workers that caught the flu while working with flu patients? Let’s do the comparison after this crap. How about health care workers that die from each.

The esteemed science fiction author, best known for movie "Arrival (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/arrival_2016)" that is based on his novel, on how we may never go "back to normal" -- and why that might be a good thing (https://electricliterature.com/ted-chiang-explains-the-disaster-novel-we-all-suddenly-live-in/).
From an interview on Electric Literature:

EL: Do you see aspects of science fiction (your own work or others) in the coronavirus pandemic? In how it is being handled, or how it has spread?

TC: While there has been plenty of fiction written about pandemics, I think the biggest difference between those scenarios and our reality is how poorly our government has handled it. If your goal is to dramatize the threat posed by an unknown virus, there's no advantage in depicting the officials responding as incompetent, because that minimizes the threat; it leads the reader to conclude that the virus wouldn't be dangerous if competent people were on the job. A pandemic story like that would be similar to what's known as an "idiot plot," a plot that would be resolved very quickly if your protagonist weren't an idiot. What we're living through is only partly a disaster novel; it's also -- and perhaps mostly -- a grotesque political satire.


EL: This pandemic isn't science fiction, but it does feel like a dystopia. How can we understand the coronavirus as a cautionary tale? How can we combat our own personal inclinations toward the good/evil narrative, and the subsequent expectation that everything will return to normal?

TC: We need to be specific about what we mean when we talk about things returning to normal. We all want not to be quarantined, to be able to go to work and socialize and travel. But we don't want everything to go back to business as usual, because business as usual is what led us to this crisis. COVID-19 has demonstrated how much we need federally mandated paid sick leave and universal health care, so we don't want to return to a status quo that lacks those things. The current administration's response ought to serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of electing demagogues instead of real leaders, although there's no guarantee that voters will heed it. We're at a point where things could go in some very different ways, depending on what we learn from this experience.

Won’t change nothing. You’ll see new biotech startups perceive a new economic space for disaster care. They’ll develop something, whether it’s a testing platform, access to doctors/medical care, or something that I can’t even think of. They’ll move into that space.

All you’ll see is the disparity in care between reach and poor grow.

We don’t yet know the trajectory of the new coronavirus, which understandably invokes fear. But don’t let all the buzz make you forget about a different virus circulating in the United States right now with a much larger impact than the new coronavirus. It’s killed between 10,000 and 25,000 people in this country between just October 1 and January 25, according to the CDC, and has caused up to 26 million illnesses and 310,000 hospitalizations in that time as well.

No, the Coronavirus Isn’t Just a Bad Flu
March 17, 2020


Trump Didn’t Just Botch the Coronavirus Response. He Enabled Its Spread.
Published Feb. 28, 2020


A Coronavirus Pandemic Is Looking A Lot More Likely. Here's What That Means.
February 24, 2020


How bad will the coronavirus outbreak get in the U.S.?
Early models suggest it could be a historic pandemic on the scale of the 1957 flu.
Mar 3, 2020


All of them, save the first, who write a LOT of fluff pieces on pro-biotics for a drippy-dippy health website, recognized the threat before Dear Leader. The epidemiologist who you cited first probably did so too, but didn't write about it again, until the 17th.

By March 12th is was obvious who was being a lying, evil shit, like the one whose ass your lips seemed permanently attached to.


Hannity on Wednesday night, after Trump's speech, acknowledged on his program that the coronavirus poses "a lot of serious risks and a lot of serious challenges." He noted that "in serious situations, truth matters, facts matter." But in the very same episode that he made those comments, the Fox News host continued to mislead his audience.
Hannity contrasted the novel coronavirus fatality numbers with those of the seasonal flu, despite knowing that the novel virus' mortality rate is significantly higher. Hannity knew it was a misleading comparison because the night before on his program Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told him that the coronavirus is at least 10-times more lethal than influenza.
Meanwhile, throughout all of Fox News' coverage, Fox Corporation, the parent company of the network, has taken the matter seriously. The company has restricted all non-essential travel. And, in a Thursday email obtained by CNN Business, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace announced several sweeping measures to protect employees, including asking staff able to work from home to do so starting Monday.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/12/media/fox-news-coronavirus/index.html


February 6 = we don't know anything. flu is, for now more deadlly.

February 28th = ok, we know enough to say its going to be much worse than the flu.


March 9: “So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!” — Trump in a tweet.
March 10: “And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.” — Trump after meeting with Republican senators.

So yeah, Fox news ran with it even after everyone else, including every single reporter you cited, knew otherwise.

QED.

The Trump administration on Friday dramatically escalated its response to the fast-spreading coronavirus epidemic by announcing quarantines and major travel restrictions that officials said were meant to limit contagion.

The measures, which could affect thousands of people around the world, represented a marked expansion of the federal government’s response after initially downplaying potential risks.

The White House declared a “public health emergency” and — beginning on Sunday at 5 p.m. — will bar non-U.S. citizens who recently visited China from entering the United States, subject to a few exemptions. Shortly after the White House announced the new restrictions and said there were six confirmed U.S. cases, a seventh case was confirmed in Santa Clara County, Calif.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar also said the Trump administration would quarantine any Americans who had visited China’s Hubei province, where the disease originated, within the past 14 days. The government will also require screening and self-quarantines for all other Americans who recently visited any other parts of China. Officials said the self-quarantine rules would require individuals to stay in their homes for a certain length of time, monitor themselves for certain symptoms such as coughing, and check their temperatures and report them to local health officials.

"The cruise ships, run by Carnival Corp.'s Holland America Line, left Buenos Aires on March 8 for a two-week cruise through South America. The journey had been scheduled to end in Chile on March 21 before the ship was shut out by the country."

So this should really be Chile's responsibility to let them in, would it not? You missed the part where they're bouncing around from port to port because everyone else has denied them.

Not really your fault. Liberal and republican officials alike were telling us "there's nothing to worry about." Even supposed "experts," like the New York Health Commissioner were saying "Nothing to worry about. Take the subway. Go to restaurants. Come to the parade." Can't fault us for placing trust in a doctor's words on a matter of health. The W.H.O. was saying the same shit, that risk of a pandemic is low.

And most of that is a result of selling out to China.

Communities used to thrive with local factories, a mainstreet filled small businesses, the upper class and middle class wealth disparity was relatively close. Then the so-called "captains of industry" got the great idea to outsource basically everything. Big box eyesores like Walmart replaced those small hardware, electronic, toy, sporting goods, etc stores. Mainstreet decayed, jobs gone, but Americans were blinded to all of it because they just can't fuckin' resist a "good deal" and "convenience."

Wait a sec....from the article itself

"The cruise ships, run by Carnival Corp.'s Holland America Line, left Buenos Aires on March 8 for a two-week cruise through South America. The journey had been scheduled to end in Chile on March 21 before the ship was shut out by the country."

So this should really be Chile's responsibility to let them in, would it not? You missed the part where they're bouncing around from port to port because everyone else has denied them. I'm actually with the governor on this one. Why does he have to be the one to take them in and risk his community? Would you feel the same if you were a Ft Lauderdale resident?

Just help the fucking people. Sending them back to the Bahamas, Chile or Liberia would basically be murder.

This is one of the things political power and political leadership are for. Tough situations where there are no good options, just bad and worse ones. Nut up and get er done.

False. He formed a task force in January. The CDC was working on a test in February.

Here's the thing, he's the "Commander in Chief." His main role as CiC (or CEO) is to appraise competency and delegate accordingly. He didn't do that, because this "task force" he formed was obviously shit. As the delegator in charge, he bears that responsibility for forming an ineffective task force. If you're a CEO of, say, a gaming company, and you form a software team to develop your latest game, and they half ass it by smoking weed and eating pizza instead of writing good code, it doesn't fuckin' matter that they goofed off. All that matters, per your shareholders and the board, is that you hired a bunch of dimwits that cost the company millions, so it's your head on the chopping block.

There's no excusal for Trump here. He didn't "appraise competency" and "delegate properly" like good managers are supposed to do. If this task force was any good, Trump would've been warning the American people at that time, but he kept assuring us it's just a little flu that will go away. Oh, and make sure to check the DOW gains today!

Film News Roundup: Dolly Parton Donates $1 Million for Research on Coronavirus Cure

[midnightpulp]

And really, a post-Covid world should make us think differently about this political football horseshit. Pretty much the entire Dem/Rep establishment failed ALL OF US here. And the excuse of, "We didn't see it coming" doesn't fly because pandemic spread really is just basic fuckin' math. Both sides presumably downplayed it to keep the market healthy (fun fact: Dem elites benefit from the market just the same).

My fantasy is the American people sit home in total on Election Day and demand the Congress/Senate/President lot dispensed. I think the things EVERY American will agree upon moving forward is: This can never happen again. We need to get off the China teat. Some Trumpers will chime in, "He's been trying to do the latter!" No. It was bark with no bite. "Bite" would be going after companies like Apple, whose biggest products were exempt.

We need to find a fresh candidate and congressional and senate bodies who will effectively do the above. Not just pay lip service to "change." But again, just fantasy. It'll be business-as-fuckin-usual after this disaster subsides and then eventually goes away from vaccine/collective immunity.

[midnightpulp]

That's on him. That's just the way it works, regardless if it's "fair" or not. You get the credit when those people perform, so you must get the blame when those people fail.

They had no value. Either they didn't know what they were doing and gave Trump rainbows and roses reports about the disease, or he didn't listen to them. So either way, the task force had zero value in upping our preparedness.

We have to take on citizens. Yeah they’re idiots, but there are a lot of idiots in this country who didn’t take heed and got sick and are being treated. Can’t abandon them. Bring them in, take them to isolation, shoot them, and say they didn’t survive the Wuhan virus, and say their bodies have to be burned. Abandoning them would be a bad look for this country.

KEY MEDICAL SUPPLIES WERE SHIPPED FROM U.S. MANUFACTURERS TO FOREIGN BUYERS

WHILE MUCH OF the world moved swiftly to lock down crucial medical supplies used to treat the coronavirus, the U.S. dithered, maintaining business as normal and allowing large shipments of American-made respirators and ventilators to be sold to foreign buyers.

The foreign shipments, detailed in dozens of government records, show exports to other hot spots where the pandemic has spread, including East Asia and Europe.

In the absence of early detection and purchasing agreements, crucial medical supplies have been ferried out from American manufacturers for foreign markets.

a steady flow of the medical equipment needed to treat the coronavirus being shipped abroad as recently as March 17.

at least three different shipments of respiratory equipment to Belgium in mid-February and early March.

The total cargo included 14 containers weighing more than 55 tons. DeVilbiss and its owner, Clayton Dubilier & Rice, a New York-based private equity firm, did not respond to a request for comment. :lol CAPITALISTS! :lol

On March 8, two tons of Vapotherm’s high-flow disposable patient circuit units, used for operating its respiratory aids, were loaded onto a container ship (http://www.vesseltracking.net/ship/henry-hudson-bridge-9302176) in the Port of Los Angeles

The records show dozens of other shipments of respirator equipment, medical garments, medical masks, oxygen concentrators, and ventilators sent abroad over the last two months.

On February 28, a ship left New York for Hamburg, Germany, with about 1.5 tons of ventilator masks (https://coastbiomed.com/product/allied-3-ventilator-circuit-with-swivel-adult-disposable-cuffed-mask/)

January 1 through March 11,

24 countries, including South Korea and Germany, moved to ban exports of vital health care products in a bid to shore up domestic supply.

Taiwan, which also banned exports of medical equipment, has been able to maintain low rates of infection and death in large part because of its early detection of the outbreak and swift deployment (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/opinion/coronavirus-best-response.html) of medical and sanitation supplies.

The U.S. government has placed no restrictions on exports of medical supplies

while continuing to impose financial penalties on the import of personal protective gear, protective goggles, pulse oximeters, hand sanitizer, and other medical products from China.

“The lack of domestic personal protective equipment also relates to our government’s unwillingness to read the cards and begin seriously stockpiling in January and February,”

The current supply crisis has been precipitated by a variety of administration failures, from cuts to international programs for disease detection and preparation to a refusal to swiftly mobilize supplies.

The failure of the U.S. to recognize Covid-19 as a serious problem follows

years of efforts to dismantle federal programs designed to maintain international disease surveillance.

The Trump administration cut 14 employees from the Beijing office of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and

closed U.S. Agency for International Development programs in China working to monitor disease outbreaks over the last two years.

In 2018, Trump disbanded (https://apnews.com/ce014d94b64e98b7203b873e56f80e9a) the National Security Council office devoted to pandemic preparation.

Fauci gets security detail after receiving threats
HHS Secretary Alex Azar had grown concerned about the growing online attacks against Fauci — whose profile soared since he started regularly flanking Trump at White House coronavirus briefings.

The government's top infectious disease doctor, Anthony Fauci, is now receiving security protection after becoming the face of the nation's coronavirus response — and a target of some supporters of President Donald Trump.

Health department leaders moved to give Fauci an armed security detail by last weekend after the 79-year-old immunologist received unspecified threats and uninvited attention, although the process took several days, said two individuals with knowledge of the decision.

HHS Secretary Alex Azar had grown concerned about the growing online attacks against Fauci — whose profile has soared since he started regularly flanking Trump at White House coronavirus briefings, where he occasionally corrects the president — and asked the department to conduct a threat assessment. The decision was then conveyed to the Justice Department, which approved the request to deputize security for Fauci.

COVID-19: Actions and results in Kentucky and Tennessee
Originally compiled by local educator Stephanie Jolly, this chart of the difference between what has happened in Kentucky vs. Tennessee is incredibly compelling.

On March 6—the same day that the Kentucky legislature introduced a bill to limit Beshear’s power to issue executive orders—the governor used that power to declare a state of emergency, freeing up funds and resources to begin the state’s fight against COVID-19. This was a week before Trump declared a national emergency. In fact, it was a day before Andre Cuomo declared a state of emergency for New York.

Beshear issued recommendations on social distancing the next day and began a daily update to reassure the state on actions being taken as well as provide details on the status of the outbreak. Two days after that, he restricted visitations to extended care facilities and prisons. And just five days after the original declaration of emergency, with eight known cases in the state, Beshear instructed every school to close. In the next week, the state ended in-restaurant dining, extended unemployment, and offered free testing to every person in the state—all at Beshear’s direction.

Meanwhile Tennessee had it’s first case on the same day as Kentucky, and Bill Lee did … nothing. As Beshear was closing schools in Kentucky, Lee told the people of his state that there was no reason to close schools or workplaces. Finally, on March 12, Lee declared a state of emergency. And he instructed the schools to close on Friday, March 20.

The result of these two policies is that the neighboring states are on very different paths. While Kentucky has seen an increase in cases, that increase has been slow. Not only does Kentucky have only 48 identified cases, it has conducted 768 tests. Tennessee now shows 228 cases resulting from many fewer tests, and it’s on an arc that is growing at a much higher rate. When cases are moving up exponentially, every moment counts, and acting early has huge implications down the road.

Kentucky is a state where thousands have struggled with the health effects of coal mining for decades. My own home county hosts a center for treatment of “black lung” that affects miners of all ages. These workers are hugely sensitive to a disease such as COVID-19. They have a hard time breathing no their best days.

Since this chart was made, cases in Kentucky have gone up to 63. Tennessee has passed 300. These results may not hold long term, especially with higher numbers of cases on every border, but the government in Kentucky has taken appropriate action to protect its citizens.

Thank goodness Kentucky voted in a Democrat. Thank God for Andy Beshear.

Trump down played it for weeks after liberals and people listening to scientists said it was a problem.

That delay cost lives. Trumps ass covering made it harder for Republicans to get out in front of him. This is what that delay looks like.

SUCK IT.

Trump, in essence, killed Americans to make himself look better for a few days.

Oh yeah? While the whole nation is on stay-at-home or lockdown in order to avoid any kind of gathering? perfect time?


There's a crap load of road work going on in and around DFW.


Thank you Abbot

You're a bleeding heart lib, right? No matter what material comforts they might have, they still trample on gay rights, religious rights (that whole Islamic genocide thing in Chechnya), and basically have a mafia boss running the country, ergo, shithole.

HORROR MOVIE’

Coronavirus will infect HALF of Sweden’s population in just four weeks as nation refuses to lock down, scientist claims

Russia is not a shithole.

But Ok.

Russia is shithole-ish. Government by kleptocracy, life expectancy barely on par with newly industrialized countries, dependent on oil exports, and a fertility rate below replacement.

Their demographic and economic destiny is going to lead the country into a decline that will make them long for the 1990's.

It's long term trajectory is definitely "shithole with nukes"

Swedes are normally pretty sensible. Sad.

Seriously, why are Trump supporters here even trying to defend him?

You don't have to.

It's not the law.

Are you really so ashamed to admit you might have made a bad choice here?

I got news for you: a percentage of any complex instruments stockpiled will not work out of the box and require field engineering/repair or parts replacement to bring up to speed. It's not new nor avoidable. A percentage of anything you buy that's somewhat complex will fail out of the box.

"some have come out of storage with depleted batteries, missing oxygen hoses and other issues."

You guys always fall for and propagate ignorant ass sensationalism headlines and tweets. Grow the fuck up. The contract was being fulfilled until last summer. Now some are pretending all these things happened because they weren't maintained for what, 7 months?

Snippet:

The world is about to find out. So far, about one in 10 deaths in the United States from COVID-19 has occurred in the four-state arc of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, according to data assembled by the COVID Tracking Project, a volunteer collaboration incubated at The Atlantic. New Orleans is on pace to become the next global epicenter of the pandemic. The virus has a foothold in southwestern Georgia, and threatens to overwhelm hospitals in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The coronavirus is advancing quickly across the American South. And in the American South, significant numbers of younger people are battling health conditions that make coronavirus outbreaks more perilous.

The numbers emerging seem to indicate that more young people in the South are dying from COVID-19. Although the majority of coronavirus-related deaths in Louisiana are still among victims over 70 years old, 43 percent of all reported deaths have been people under 70. In Georgia, people under 70 make up 49 percent of reported deaths. By comparison, people under 70 account for only 20 percent of deaths in Colorado. “Under 70” is a broad category, not really useful for understanding what’s going on. But digging deeper reveals more concerning numbers. In Louisiana, people from the ages of 40 to 59 account for 22 percent of all deaths. The same age range in Georgia accounts for 17 percent of all deaths. By comparison, the same age group accounts for only about 10 percent of all deaths in Colorado, and 6 percent of all deaths in Washington State. These statistics suggest that middle-aged and working-age adults in the two southern states are at much greater risk than their counterparts elsewhere; for some reason, they are more likely to die from COVID-19.

How often should they be maintained?
If they are periodically rotated through maintenance cycles, how many cycles happened in those 7 months, and what is both the absolute number, and the proportion of those ventilators that didn't get serviced?

(edit)

And yes, complex machines have fail rates out of storage. The critical thinking question here is what is that rate, and how did the failure to maintain them affect that. It seems to me that we need more information to effectively evaluate this fact.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp Just Found Out Coronavirus, Like, Real Contagious, Y'all


Well by God, sounds like a couple of southern GOP governors found Christ yesterday. Mississippi Governor Tater Tater Tater Tater Tater, after struggling mightily with the issue, waited until the very last minute possible and handed down a statewide stay-at-home order. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis did the same, finally, because Donald Trump gave him the order, finally, as he runs the state where the coronavirus pandemic is in the process of exploding (the current confirmed cases are 7,773). Don't worry, DeSantis made an exemption allowing Floridians to get coronavirus at church, as is their religious freedom. Texas Governor Greg Abbott made the same exemption.

Kemp explained during a press conference on Wednesday announcing his stay-at-home order:


KEMP: Um, you know I think is the reason I'm takin' this action, just like I've continued to tell people, I'm followin' the data, I'm followin' the advice of Dr. [Kathleen] Toomey, uh, her and I both mentioned in our remarks, um, you know, findin' out that this virus is now transmitting before people see signs, so the, what we've been tellin' people, from directives from the CDC for weeks now, that if you start feeling bad, stay home, those individuals could've been infecting people before they ever felt bad.

Well, we didn't know that until the last 24 hours, and as Dr. Toomey told me, she goes, "This is a game changer for us."

He learned that, on Tuesday! Brian Kemp just learned — on Tuesday! — that asymptomatic people can give people coronavirus! This is a thing he found out — on Tuesday! 'Cause he's just followin' the science! And it was a GAME CHANGER.

He wasnt elected...he was the person in charge/overseeing his own election - and refused to recuse -

and then during the election -

predominantly black voting counties had a bunch of voting machines go out of order, change votes, cancel votes, change voters addresses, etc...

Stacey Abrams filed a suit and I dont think she ever conceded...


he STOLE that election.

True that. Republicans couldn't actually WIN the election.



Georgia gubernatorial election, 2018[224]
Party Candidate Votes % ±
Republican Brian Kemp 1,978,408 50.22% -2.52%
Democratic Stacey Abrams 1,923,685 48.83% +3.95%

55,000 votes. Won by the guy who was in charge of election policy. Shocker.

yup

cannot remember the exact number -

but hundreds of thousands of names were purged from the voter records - for a number of reasons - in the months leading up to the election...

of course -

most in poor and black neighborhoods...
