Official Trump administration bungling response to pandemic thread.

[TeyshaBlue]

I don't either, but the private-public joint isn't well explained. Trump has referred to states "making things difficult for our distributors" with requests for PPE. I wonder what he meant, and how this is actually working.

Is FEMA distributing the goods? Are McKesson et al?
I'm definitely not a fan of pharma wholesale companies but, one thing they do extraordinary well is distribution. It's damn near a science to them.

Navarro memos warning of mass coronavirus death circulated in January
In late January, President Trump's economic adviser Peter Navarro warned his White House colleagues the novel coronavirus could take more than half a million American lives and cost close to $6 trillion, according to memos obtained by Axios.

The state of play: By late February, Navarro was even more alarmed, and he warned his colleagues, in another memo, that up to 2 million Americans could die of the virus.

Navarro's grim estimates are set out in two memos — one dated Jan. 29 and addressed to the National Security Council, the other dated Feb. 23 and addressed to the president. The NSC circulated both memos around the White House and multiple agencies.
In the first memo, which the New York Times was first to report on, Navarro makes his case for "an immediate travel ban on China."
The second lays the groundwork for supplemental requests from Congress, with the warning: "This is NOT a time for penny-pinching or horse trading on the Hill."

Trump was told... and kept saying it was all under control, and no one had anything to worry about. His administration didn't ramp up testing when the need was obvious, and they didn't start ramping up PPE pipeline until medical workers started having to use garbage bags as PPE.

A new HHS inspector general report details “severe shortages” facing hospitals dealing with the pandemic.
https://www.vox.com/2020/4/6/21209526/coronavirus-inspector-general-report-health-and-human-services-trump


A report released Monday by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) inspector general details the “severe shortages” of testing supplies and medical gear experienced by hospitals, and alludes to the disorganized nature of the federal response.

The government report stands in contrast to the rhetoric coming from the government’s top elected official. President Donald Trump wants you to believe that officials who have criticized his administration’s coronavirus response are part of a plot to take him down, and despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary, he insists federal agencies have done “an unbelievable,” “incredible” job procuring supplies for states.

White House Adviser Warned of Risks of Pandemic;

Trump Misleads on Testing

Navarro warned in January that a pandemic could imperil the lives of millions of Americans.

A top White House adviser starkly warned Trump administration officials in late January that

the coronavirus crisis could cost the United States trillions of dollars and put millions of Americans at risk of illness or death.

The warning, written in a memo by Peter Navarro, President Trump’s trade adviser, is the highest-level alert known to have circulated inside the West Wing

as the administration was taking its first substantive steps to confront a crisis

that had already consumed China’s leaders and would go on to upend life in Europe and the United States.

“The lack of immune protection or an existing cure or vaccine would leave Americans defenseless in the case of a full-blown coronavirus outbreak on U.S. soil,” Mr. Navarro’s memo said.

“This lack of protection elevates the risk of the coronavirus evolving into a full-blown pandemic, imperiling the lives of millions of Americans.”

From a Public Citizen email

a brief literary digression:



In 1984 — George Orwell’s disturbingly relevant dystopian novel — the all-powerful “Party” manipulates historical records to match whatever it’s telling people in the present.



The Party reduces chocolate rations. But it says that it is increasing rations. And it “rectifies” historical records to falsely show that rations had been lower before.



Oceania (one of three superstates, and the setting of the novel) is allied with Eastasia and at war with Eurasia. Then, just like that, they are allied with Eurasia and at war with Eastasia. And historical records are “rectified” accordingly.


Here’s the thing ...

THIS JUST HAPPENED RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA.

Not in a work of fiction.

Not in another country.

Not during some bygone historical era.

And it happened for no better reason than to make Jared Kushner look less imbecilic than he is.

One week ago today, Kushner (in front of working cameras and microphones) uttered an absolutely ridiculous claim that

the Strategic National Stockpile is not meant for exactly what everyone knows it is meant for

— providing essential medical supplies to states and localities in the event of public health emergencies.

By the next afternoon,

someone had rectified :lol the description of the stockpile on the federal government’s website so that it would not contradict what Kushner said.

And, to repeat, what Kushner said was indisputably incorrect —

not to mention heartless and inhuman and, quite possibly, deadly.

Orwell was trying to warn us about totalitarianism,

not writing a how-to guide for aspiring Big Brothers (or little sons-in-law)!

But as the Associated Press reports (https://apnews.com/58f1b869354970689d55ccae37c540f3), Trump is a master at throwing blame at everyone else, and

there are at least six entities he’s cycled through already that he wants Americans to think are responsible.

“First, it was the media that was at fault,” the AP reports.

“Then, Democratic governors came under fire.

China,

President Barack Obama and

federal watchdogs have all had a turn in the crosshairs.

And now it’s the World Health Organization that’s to blame.”




Trump has blamed “Democratic governors for alleged mismanagement at the front lines of the crisis.

The media, first for hyping the threat of the virus and then for not giving the administration credit for its response.

Federal inspectors general, believed to be conspiring to make the White House look bad.

The Obama administration, for not adequately preparing.

China, initially absolved of responsibility, then accused of covering up worrisome health data.

And now the WHO, from which Trump has threatened to withhold funding.”

As for his own performance on the coronavirus pandemic,

Trump says “I’d rate it a 10,” Trump said March 16.

“I think we’ve done a great job,” he declared.

“I couldn’t have done it any better.”

Worried about losing potential deals, state governments have tossed aside long-standing purchasing rules about how to spend taxpayer money,

while standing by as a bidding war ensues over the rest.

By Trump’s Own Standards, His COVID-19 Response Is A ‘Full Scale Disaster’

On March 13, Trump described Obama’s (and by proxy, former Vice President Joe Biden’s) response to that disease as a “full scale disaster” (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1238410051758575617) due to thousands who died of the disease.

More recently on April 7, Trump described how 17,000 deaths from Swine Flu was a “debacle” (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1247545358705664002) for the previous administration.

Those numbers, it should be pointed out, are inaccurate:

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that only about 12,500 Americans died (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/2009-h1n1-pandemic.html) of the Swine Flu, not 17,000.

Most Americans, too, gave Obama good marks on his administration’s response to the disease —

six months after the pandemic reached the U.S., nearly 6-in-10 Americans said they approved (https://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/11/03/obama.poll/index.html)

The current president does himself no favors by bringing up Obama’s response,

particularly because the American people were, for the most part, happy with it,

and are currently unhappy with Trump’s.

Trump is now pushing for reopening the nation’s economy ...

That wouldn’t just make Trump’s response to the disease a debacle or a full-scale disaster — deaths

the result of reopening the economy too early would effectively be a tragedy of his own making.

If he gets his way, he will do worse than fail —

his actions will result in the unnecessary deaths of thousands of Americans.

bumblfuck Trump keeps wanting to reopen the economy.

Voters disagree.

the economy has historically been linked (https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/05/politics/trump-reelection-job-losses-analysis/index.html) to a president's re-election hopes.

the percentage of voters who think the economy is getting worse skyrocketed to 60% in the latest Quinnipiac University poll (https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=3658).

That's up from 28% at the beginning of March.

Voters, it seems, are not for the moment blaming Trump for any economic downturn.

almost no one thinks that we need to reopen the economy right now.
In a Fox News poll (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-april-4-7-2020) this week,

80% of voters nationwide say they would favor the federal government announcing a stay at home order for everybody but essential workers.

You usually can't get 80% of voters to agree upon anything, and

the 80% is certainly higher than the approval Trump is getting for his handling of the coronavirus.

The same Fox News poll showed that a mere 4% of voters thought Trump was overreacting to the virus.

That compares with 47% who think he isn't taking the virus seriously enough.

75%, in the Fox News poll believe the worst of the epidemic is yet to come.

Americans want the President to focus most on the public health issue at hand more so than they are worried about him fixing the economy right now.

If people are allowed to go about their normal routine too soon and the number of coronavirus cases rise afterward,

there's a good case to be made that's far more dangerous to Trump's reelection chances than a bad economy.

The Fact Checker video team has reconstructed how the claim spread online and illustrates the troubling consequences of such misleading (https://www.poynter.org/ifcn-covid-19-misinformation/page/2/?search_terms=chloroquine) hope in the drugs.

Over the course of only a few weeks, posts online, the media and politicians

Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as treatments for covid-19 are not yet backed by reliable scientific evidence.

In a pandemic, it’s important for everyone to follow the lead of scientists.

Rumors on the Internet are the least reliable source of information.

In particular, Trump’s incorrect comments on the drugs and his role in advocating for their use,

sets a bad example. :lol Trash is a Walking Bad Example

created a new and convoluted emergency response system;

and sown confusion and distrust in the states and among the people who need medical supplies.”

“Jared and his friends decided they were going to do their thing,”

spent about one million dollars each on 40 chartered FedEx flights in a deal for chemical giant DuPont

to send its made in the USA Tyvek material over to Vietnam, where it is sown into body suits.

Those suits used to sell for $5 each.

The federal government, in addition to

basically donating what would amount to $40 million to DuPont,

is now paying up to three times as much for the suits: $15 each,

instead of paying FedEx $1 million per flight

the federal government could have used U.S. military aircraft which would have cost less than half: $410,000 per flight.

DuPont only sold 60 percent of the suits to the federal government.

Flustercucked


in a scathing letter to policymakers, system CEO Carlos Migoya said the way Washington has handled the bailout “could jeopardize the very existence” of Jackson, one of the nation’s largest public health systems, and similar hospital groups.

“We are here for you right now,” Migoya, who has tested positive for COVID-19 himself, said in a Thursday letter to Alex Azar, secretary of Health and Human Services. “Please, be here for us right now.”

Migoya and executives at other beleaguered systems are blasting the government’s decision to take a one-size-fits-all approach to distributing the first $30 billion in emergency grants. HHS confirmed Friday it would give hospitals and doctors money according to their historical share of revenue from the Medicare program for seniors — not according to their coronavirus burden.

That method is “woefully insufficient to address the financial challenges facing hospitals at this time, especially those located in ‘hot spot’ areas such as the New York City region,” Kenneth Raske, CEO of the Greater New York Hospital Association, said in a memo to association members.

States such as Minnesota, Nebraska and Montana, which the pandemic has touched relatively lightly, are getting more than $300,000 per reported COVID-19 case in the $30 billion, according to a Kaiser Health News analysis.
On the other hand, New York, the worst-hit state, would receive only $12,000 per casehttps://khn.org/news/furor-erupts-billions-going-to-hospitals-based-on-medicare-billings-not-covid-19/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

No, we eschewed politics at 9/11. I mean sure they had that one video passed around where Bush2 was sitting in first grade and showed no emotion when the facts were whispered in his ear, but, they didn't beat it to death.

But, they smelled an opportunity to roust our souls "if we stick together." Nobody blamed Bush for missing the first attempt on the Towers.

March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”

March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”

March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”

Trump adviser Peter Navarro made a bad bet 60 Minutes didn't cover pandemic preparedness under Obama

Navarro issued 60 Minutes a specific challenge, in fact:

"I challenge you:

Show me the 60 Minutes episode a year ago, two years ago, or during the Obama administration, during the Bush administration, that said,

'Hey, global pandemic's coming, you gotta do X, Y, and Z, and by the way,

we would shut down the entire global economy to fight it.'

Show me that episode,

then you'll have some credence in terms of attacking the Trump administration for not being prepared."

60 Minutes had plenty of credence to criticize Trump's level of preparedness (https://theweek.com/speedreads/908398/trump-attacks-new-york-times-fox-news-anchor-over-report-detailing-ignored-coronavirus-warnings). Watch below.

'He basically declared himself King Trump': Cuomo warns of 'constitutional crisis' if Trump doesn't back down on reopening economy

Just a couple days after President Trump said he and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo were "getting along," the gloves came off Tuesday morning.

Cuomo went on the offensive in a pair of TV appearances, pushing back on Trump's assertion — contrary to the 10th Amendment — that his "authority is total" in making states roll back their stay-at-home orders to reopen the economy.
"The president basically declared himself King Trump, right?" Cuomo said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"And all that annoying federal-state back and forth our founding fathers went through, he just disregarded that ... The governors are in charge because the president put them in charge. This is a total 180 from where the president started."

Cuomo added on NBC's "Today" show "We don't have a king. We have a president."

This comes on the heels of Cuomo launching a multistate coalition to reopen the economy, a northeast megalopolis consisting of the top economic development official, health official, and each governor's chief of staff from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Delaware.

A Western States Pact was announced among California, Washington, and Oregon for a similar effort.

However, Cuomo and the other governors were adamant on Monday that they would proceed with caution, following the best medical advice and scientific data before sending more people back to work.

Trump bristled at the notion in a fiery Monday press briefing, and then took a shot across the bow on Twitter Tuesday morning.

"I got it all done for [Cuomo], and everyone else, and now he seems to want Independence!" Trump tweeted. "That won't happen!"

Cuomo said Trump would cause a "constitutional crisis" by trying to force states to overturn their stay at home orders, and that "if he pushed it to that absurd point, then we would have a problem."

Study: No One Could Have Seen Pandemic Coming Except People Capable of Reading


https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5e94c635db395c0009acc00e/master/w_2560%2Cc_limit/Borowitz-NoOneSawCoronavirusComing.jpg


MINNEAPOLIS —No one could have seen the coronavirus pandemic coming except for people who are capable of reading, a new study indicates.

The study, published by the University of Minnesota, is

highly critical of the current early-warning system for global pandemics,

which requires that a person have the literacy necessary to read, comprehend, and digest a memo.

“In order to see a pandemic coming,

one would have to read and

also understand the words, sentences, and paragraphs that compose a typical memo,”

Professor Davis Logsdon, the author of the study, said.

“And some of these memos can run two, three, even four pages in length.”

2) Falun Gong conspiracy theories

3) Swedish deaths good

4) Hillary barbecuing children while Joe smells their hair

Shame on us in advance.

That's what I don't get.

Trump HAS to be their perfect hero-- godlike in his prescience, herculean in his action, noble and just.

They have to pretend we don't see his dumb orange makeup ass up there every day going through his Fidel Castro speeches, spouting lie after lie after lie. Claiming absolute power while absolving himself of any responsibility.

WTF is wrong with these people?

Trump now putting all the blame on the WHO....what does he think he's doing calling them out while people are dying. There will be time for this. Also, his g damn travel ban rhetoric is exhausting. Fix the situation, show leadership, lead from the front.

No, the time now is just fine. But, he has to stay the course. He can't put them back in the light two days from now. They'll never learn their.

bungling extends to ALL red/slave states

Another Republican Governor proves herself to be a damn fool (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/4/14/1937138/-Another-Republican-Governor-proves-herself-to-be-a-damn-fool)

As governors across the country fell into line in recent weeks, South Dakota’s top elected leader stood firm: There would be no statewide order to stay home.

Such edicts to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus, Gov. Kristi L. Noem said disparagingly, reflected a “herd mentality.”

It was up to individuals — not government — to decide whether “to exercise their right to work, to worship and to play. Or to even stay at home.”

Citing her “commonsense conservative values,” Noem in the same April 2 speech suggested that

South Dakotans should stop watching (https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/2020/04/01/coronavirus-why-gov-noem-wont-order-shelter-place-south-dakotans/5106939002/)the national news.

Noem sought to draw a distinction between clean South Dakotans and those dirty New Yorkers.

What South Dakotans should do, she said is stay the course, adjust as needed and stop watching the national news.

"It's so important not to turn on the news and look at NYC and think that that's what Lemmon, South Dakota is going to face in a month," Noem said. "It's absolutely not true."


thinly-veiled racism in the “New Yorkers” refrain has been echoed by other Republican governors (https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/04/some-governors-have-risen-to-the-occasion-during-the-pandemic-these-republicans-arent-among-them/)

resisting any efforts to pay more than casual lip service to the pandemic, most likely because

they believe, as Donald Trump and Fox News assured them, that it would all soon “go away.”



Sioux Falls, the state’s most populous city, that is now facing one of the largest COVID-19 clusters in the country.

But now South Dakota is home to one of the largest single coronavirus clusters anywhere in the United States,

with more than 300 workers at a giant #pork-processing plant falling ill.

With the case numbers continuing to spike,

the company was forced to announce the indefinite closure (https://www.smithfieldfoods.com/press-room/company-news/smithfield-foods-to-close-sioux-falls-sd-plant-indefinitely-amid-covid-19) of the facility Sunday, threatening the U.S. food supply.

“The idea they didn’t expect they would have a surge of people applying,

"Nobody told us"


US intelligence agencies alerted Israel to the coronavirus outbreak in China already in November, Israeli television reported Thursday.

According to Channel 12 news, the US intelligence community became aware of the emerging disease in Wuhan in the second week of that month and drew up a classified document.


US intelligence informed the Trump administration, “which did not deem it of interest,” but the report said the Americans also decided to update two allies with the classified document: NATO and Israel, specifically the IDF.

Internal Documents Show Federal Agencies Supported the WHO Before Trump Was Against It

In a battle between China and the U.S. over global leadership,

American diplomats and aid officials cited U.S. funding of the World Health Organization as key and

relied heavily on the agency for help. When Trump cut its funding, he upended all that.

American aid officials tried to delicately sidestep the political tensions, internal documents shared with ProPublica show.

Trump’s campaign upended weeks of partnership between his own administration and the WHO

The U.S. Agency for International Development had chosen to funnel much of its pandemic response through the WHO.

Even as they dealt with the fallout of Trump’s decision to cut off WHO funding, his administration leaned on it for expert advice.

“It’s actually important to reference WHO standards during this type of emergency pandemic response - even with current political dynamics,” wrote the official,

The pandemic rots from the head, all the way down

A Nurse’s Hospital Wouldn’t Let Her Wear an N95 Mask.

She Hasn’t Been Back to Work in Weeks.

As the coronavirus spreads, hitting health care providers especially hard,

doctors and nurses across the country report inadequate protective measures from their hospitals.

Some feel they’ve been forced out of work — right when the country needs them most.

The first response is on point tbh. Trump should have stuck to his guns. But he's redeeming himself by encouraging Americans to defy the lockdown orders.

No, odds are not pretty good it will pass 60K by the end of this month. The shitty IHME model that already factored in social distancing and has been revised down constantly isn't even predicting that.

If it doesn't hit 60k by end-April, it will be damn close. I'd bet on the over but minimum is 55k

Jesus, Trump is barely functional at these pressers. Always reaching for that OAN lifeline.

If it doesn't hit 60k by end-April, it will be damn close. I'd bet on the over but minimum is 55k

very close to 30K / week now.

60K surpassed by 1 May is almost certain,

as 100Ks of new infections weeks ago begin to produce deaths during the 2 - 8 weeks that C19 takes to kill.

Contamination at the CDC lab delayed the test. For some reason, it took the CDC a month to fix the problem, during which zero stopgap measures were pursued.

Just as USA pandemic was getting started, Trash rejected 60K test kits from WHO.

With being past 40,000 today it's hard to see 60,000 as the tally through August, especially with a bunch of states reopening next week.

He took "advanced credit" for under 100K, War President winning! boasting on a pile of bodies,

when "some people" say 90% of the dead could have been avoided if Trash had done his fucking job, for a change

When it goes over 100K, he will claim that the states fucked up his Big Win, will blame the states, esp the densely populated BLUE states, for FAILING

The official US policy has been to fade DJT's electoral and PR accountability for COVID-19, not to protect the lives and livelihood of his countrymen.

You're right to blame the economic depression on DJT; our failure even to try to contain COVID-19 made a lockdown more or less inevitable.

100% BULLSHIT WHATABOUTISM -

and

lets say for the sake of argument - it was all actually accurate -


it would STILL not make it right -

Trump would still be responsible for everything he has done - the treason, the lying, the colossal failure to do his constitutional duty - etc - and the MAJORITY OF 39,000 DEATHS OF YOUR AMERICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS -

deep down inside this is self-evident and indisputable and you are aware of it -


for YOUR OWN reasons - you have to justify and whatabout and defend this unconscionable behavior and treason -


FOR YOUR OWN REASONS -

which are absolutely independent of the truth AND THE FACTS.

OK - both sides are horrible - but YOUR CULT DADDY - REPRESENTS ONE OF THOSE TWO HORRIBLE SIDES!

Trump administration was alerted about COVID-19 concerns in ‘real time’ by Americans working at WHO

Donald Trump administration officials (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/americans-at-world-health-organization-transmitted-real-time-information-about-coronavirus-to-trump-administration/2020/04/19/951c77fa-818c-11ea-9040-68981f488eed_story.html) were receiving warnings about the coming coronavirus pandemic early on from Americans working at the World Health Organization.

More than a dozen U.S. researchers, physicians and public health experts,

many of them from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

were working full time at the Geneva headquarters of the World Health Organization

as the novel coronavirus emerged late last year and

transmitted real-time information about its discovery and spread in China to the Trump administration,

Senior Trump-appointed health officials also consulted regularly at the highest levels with the WHO as the crisis unfolded,

the new report contradicts complaints from the Trump administration that were misinformed and were caught unaware of the growing crisis.

has no clear enforcement mechanism.
